Pros: The employees are the nicest, sweetest human beings you could ever hope to meet. Staff (a woman; is short for a longer name), and company were wonderful in every way. Plus the hotel room & jungle garden environment are breathtaking!

Cons: The internet was a bit weak. Thats about all I can muster as a complaint.

Fantastic and quiet dive resort with excellent service

Pros: Fantastic dive resort with excellent staff. The service was top-notch from pickup throughout our stay. The in-house dive center offers up to 5 dives a day around the area with great dive masters. The location is clean, quiet, very well maintained and has a lush garden and nice swimming pool. The food is excellent, homemade and has different options. Breakfast is great.

Cons: We had to leave to go back home

Excellent, fully catered experience diving and lodging which was worth the extra spend

Pros: Here's the thing. You get what you pay for, especially in Dauin since it is so dive-centric (= tourists with a slightly higher budget to spend). We visited and stayed at a few other resorts and Atlantis was most to our liking. The resort is beautifully laid out with an amazing tropical garden and the various accoms spread throughout still retaining enough privacy. Asked or a hammock for our porch and got it straight away. Welcomed with fruit, drinks and a little massage. It's funny, but it does work. Now I thought the food menu wasn't overpriced compared to the surrounding offerings. Think a very good burger w handcut fries for around 500 pesos, otherwise a good and varied menu. Breakfast was included and huge. This place is american owned and run and the breakfast gives it away haha. Now the real quality lies in the way their dive shop is operated. It is a seemless affair of 5 dives going out per day, and you can join whenever you want. There are small motorboats next to the larger outriggers which gives max. flexibility. The dive guides were excellent and know the sites very well. So you ask for some small macro stuff and you *will* see it if you dive with these guys for one or two days. Sea horses, flamboyant cuttlefish etc. just the first dive which had my mind blown. 5 dives per day will set you back 7.500 pesos, which works out to a good deal per dive. Very personable and *fun* divemasters that still seem to get a kick out of finding the weird stuff that crawls and swims around Dauin.

Cons: Slightly higher fees for marine park, car transfers etc. than elsewhere. I recommend renting a scooter in town to get around and out of Dauin which is quite small. The only relatively costly activity is the resort's Apo island trip which could be organised cheaper if you don't need a fully catered lunch on the boat etc.

wonderful!

Pros: breakfast was great all 4 days we were there. The servers were very welcoming. The servers paid close attention to details and really liked the fact that they always made it a point to call me by my first name (my preference).

Cons: no phone in the room to touch base with the reception. I got sick my last night there and need some hot water for tea and it was raining (monsoon like). But other than that...all good. Minor inconvenience.

Superb

Pros: Excellent service, beautiful property. Great opportunities for day trips

An exceptional stay. I highly recommend this hotel.

Pros: The Atlantis is perfect for a diving holiday. The equipment is perfect and the staff professional and very attentive. The restaurant is pleasant and the food excellent. The daily maintenance of the rooms is perfect. The garden is beautiful.

Cons: The rooms are small and the equipment is quite limited for the price level requested in the Philippines. The price of the dives is excessive in particular the night dives and the trip to Apo Island.

Exceptional

Pros: Staff is amazing. They all learn your name and greet you everywhere. Food is very American

Fabulous

Nice place, seemed like an...

Pros: The food was good but expensive. The dive centre seemed excellent (but over double the price of others in the area). I can't speak to their services though as we ended up having to go to another dive shop as we'd been told that the Apo island trip wasn't running on the days we were there (although a look on the dive board indicated otherwise).

Cons: Very overpriced rooms and food. Also any additional requests (ie drivers/ trikes) were quoted almost 3 times more than the normal prices. For the price I would have expected much nicer facilities, and much better service. As has been my experience in other locations in the country. Instead, I felt nickled and dimed at every opportunity.
