Atlantis Dive Resort Puerto Galera, Puerto Galera, Philippines

An excellent hotel with just one small problem in that it is not possible to actually drive up to. Puerto Galera is a relatively small area with a lot packed into it (Bars, Clubs, Hotels, Restaurants etc) and as such if you arrive by car you have to park about 6 or 700 metres away in a public car park then walk the rest of the way with your luggage. Saying that, as soon as I realised this and contacted the hotel there was a staff member on hand within minutes who assisted us with the luggage. I you arrive by boat as a foot passenger directly to Puerto Galera and they are expecting you then staff will be their to assist likewise, I believe they can also meet you at Manila airport and escort you all the way to their hotel. Apart from this, an excellent hotel with a 'Flinstones' feel with regards to the décor. Excellent and friendly staff, always there to help. We didn't go there to dive but from what I saw they have a very efficient dive 'school' with excellent facilities and knowledgeable staff/instructors. All in all, one of the best, if not the best, hotels in Puerto Galera.

While pricey, this place is one of the nicest hotels around with excellent diving facilities onsite. The service is really friendly. Was told that the hotel invested in in their own dedicated microwave link to the mainland for internet access. Good value.
