Mike's Dauin Dive Resort

I love the ambiance and the staff were all accommodating and warm.

The only thing i noticed is the bed, ofcourse i understand that it may not be the same as my bed at home.

Staff were very friendly. The food was amazing and reasonably priced. The location is great.

A simple resort that has everything I wanted.you don't have to be al diver to enjoy this resort

Good enough.

Nothing

Staff were amazing, pool lovely and clean, location was perfect

I had a reaction to insect bites from the bed on our first night. But the staff were extremely kind and changed all the bed and mattress and even tried contacting a doctor for me. Just one of those unfortunate things The stairs were extremely hazardous as there is no hand rail and very sharp edges, just a heads up

Prachtige accommodatie aan het strand wat wil je nog meer! Heerlijk zwembad, mooi kamer en de tuin is prachtige aangelegd. De geluiden van de vele vogels geven je het gevoel dat je midden in de natuur zit. Het personeel ontzettend aardig en attent. Dit eiland is nog helemaal niet ontdekt door toeristen dat vonden wij juist heel speciaal. We hebben een waterval en warmwaterbronnen bezocht. Heerlijk gewandeld over het strand. We waren hier nog 1 nacht extra omdat de ferry niet ging naar onze volgende bestemming.

Via de accommodatie hadden we een tripje gemaakt naar de waterval en warmwaterbron en een klein dorpje. De prijs hier was wel erg veel geld vonden wij. Dit kan je beter zelf regelen met een tuktuk.

Super friendly staff Food prepared with love Clean rooms Warm and cozy atmosphere

Good location very good staff/ good food good lodge / Mike is very friendly

Beach dirty with litter many dogs on the beach

Le personnel avant tout. Le restaurant très bon Très bonnes plongées !

Une douche avec une meilleure pression aurait été la bienvenue

Eigentlich alles. Hatten ein exklusive suite mit Blick auf Pool und Meer. Mega.sehr hervorzuheben die Tauchguids:Ace, Gabiund Raul. Also Voctor boat casting and Bryan.Super Hilfsbereit und wir hatten eine tolle Zeit bei den Tauchgängen mit viel Spass

Preis Leistung Restaurant. Für weniger Geld besseres Essen 7 Minute Laufweg. Haben Full Equipment bezahlt.mussten aber extra zahlen beim Nightdive für eine Taschenlampe. .

Alles

Bis auf die Bettwäsche, ich habe stark geschwitzt, wahrscheinlich höher Synthetikanteil

Such an incredible resort! We loved it so much that we extended our stay from 2 nights to 5 nights! This place has it all, from super comfy beds, clean rooms, awesome staff, amazing food, and a top-notch dive center right on the property. Seeing the ocean right from our bed (room 5 was the best!) was the cherry on top. Thank you Mike and team! We can't wait to visit again!

The internet could've been faster (Slower than we would have hoped) but it still worked.

Niente

We stayed for 7 nights at Mikes, and did 11 dives with them around Dauin and at Apo Island. From the moment we arrived we felt very welcome by the friendly and caring staff. The dive guides and boat crew were excellent, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience and didn't lift a finger. We dived with Raul who worked tirelessly to find interesting critters, and there was never really a dull moment. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable and surroundings were well maintained with a nice pool. Food at Mikes was great and very good value, and service was excellent throughout. Bonus points for the sweet dogs that lived there! Right on the beach, and close to other restaurants in Dauin.

Water pressure in the shower wasn't amazing, especially post diving, and the wifi was sometimes slow.

Great staff and dive guides very knowledgeable. Great shower and room size with lovely outdoor area. Accommodation good value for money; dive prices a little on the high side compared to Moalboal but in line with Malapascua. Mike is a great host and we would fully recommend staying.

Mattress a little soft for me but my wife liked it. Location great for diving but limited bars & restaurants in the area.

Excellent location. Staff amazing

Great place for divers with staff that go above and beyond. Relaxing and enjoyable diving destination with friendly and very helpful dive guides

beau complexe hotelier de petite taille. l'accueil chaleureux, personnel attentif et gentil. chambre propre. lit confortable.

L’accueil, le personnel, la localisation et l’ambiance familiale. Une mention toute spéciale pour Ace et Gabi qui se chargent des cours de plongée. Ce sont deux personnes en or avec qui vous apprendrez dans la bonne humeur et le professionnalisme.

L’emplacement en bord de plage, la piscine, la gentillesse du personnel

Rien

The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly throughout our stay. We were primarily there for scuba diving, and the boat crew and divemasters were excellent— knowledgeable, fun, and safety-focused, which helped us feel comfortable the entire time. We also enjoyed getting to know other divers; since the resort is small, it was easy to connect with other guests over breakfast, dinner, or by the pool in the afternoons. Breakfast was good, though the included "free" options were a bit limited so by the last day we wanted to order something on the full menu. The property itself was very clean, and the food was consistently good. You can tell the owner, Mike, really cares about his staff and the property. Overall, we had everything we needed on-site and rarely felt the need to leave the resort. It was a great experience and we’d happily return.

Lå lige ved stranden De sødeste personale God pool Virkelig god mad Rent og pænt over det hele God stemning på resortet

Der var problemer med vandet et par dage vi var der, men personalet kæmpet med at løse problemet

Proximity to the beach and clean rooms.

Hôtel avec énormément de charme. Hotel coup de cœur pour moi avec un manager et une équipe de plongée extraordinaire ! J’ai fais mon baptême de plongée avec eux et c’était au top rassurant et bienveillant. Recommande pour tous les français qui cherche un sport génial pour faire de la plongée dans un lieu magique avec tortues poissons tropicaux et coraux magnifiques! Merci pour tout

Matelas du lit trop ferme pour moi

The grounds are beautiful, the staff is helpful and friendly, and the rooms are comfortable and reasonably priced. Also, the food and service are excellent.

Wala gyud

Pretty good location and food is quite affordable and delectable. Beach area is super clean.

1. No complimentary toiletries and slippers. No fridge in the room. 2. Lots of mosquitoes in the restaurant/al fresco dining area even at daytime. 3. The pool has a lot of floating insects. 4. All the staff were nice and approachable except one. The overnight staff/guard is very very ill-tempered and rude.

James the manager was a good guy and very friendly.. location was nice. Pool was good.. And the massage was very good. .Peter the guard was nice and funny.

The owner and family was not guestfriendly. Not open and no any goodmorning.. And the staff , some very nice and friendly, but a few a bit grumpy Breakfast was poor and need to pay extra for a second coffee.

Beautiful resort. The staff is very nice and helpfull. The dive shop is very proffesional. The dive guides know very good the dive locations, and the do a lot of effort to show you the good things to see while diving, and they also try to show you what you are interested in. The dive sites in front of the resort are very good voor muck diving, and Apo island was also very good for diving. Food in the restaurant was very good.

That i must leave after a few days to go back home

atmospheric place. Cozy and beautiful. I think it will be great for couples. Or for divers. Perfectly clean room. Modern, quiet and really cooling air conditioning in the room.

I didn't like the food at all. One dish was greasy. The second was dry. The smoothie was tasteless too. Breakfast also leaves much to be desired

The dive center is very professional, focused on Muck diving & Macro which isn’t my favorite but for those who do, great place. The resort itself is nice with affluent vegetation, a nice swimming pool. The staff is incredibly nice and welcoming.

The restaurant is good and reasonably priced, but wait time is a problem, up to 50mn waiting for our order. We booked the villa but regretted it a bit. The trade off is only one bathroom for 2 rooms for a coffee maker, a washing machine, a large kitchen and living room we had no use for since there is no where to shop for groceries nearby to cook. There was also a persistent smell in one of the rooms which was supposedly a new furniture… despite trying to address with the staff.. we lived thru a piss-line smell for a week.

Mike’s Resort was such a nice place. Clean, comfortable, incredible staff. Being a brand new visitor there the Philippines, I would have liked to see more Filipino foods options on the menu. And this isn’t a negative necessarily but something to be aware of, they try to keep an extremely quiet atmosphere here. My friend’s family was there, and they asked that the kids not make any noise. So maybe don’t bring kids. This is more of a retirement home vibe.

Beautiful beach front resort, close to the marine sanctuary Very kind staff, änd great food in the restaurant.

Wifi very unstable.

Super location, great pool, 30ft from the ocean … quiet location

would like at least mini fridge in the room

Great resort to dive and socialize with other fellow divers. Cozy and friendly, many dive sites nearby.

A cozy hotel with a great location, delicious food, good diving center and a very friendly staff

Almost everything was better than expected.

Great facilities, good food and pleasant staff. The owner was there to smooth over any misunderstandings as well.

location close by

a lot of flies especially on the dining area everyday that stuck on your foods

My friend and I really enjoyed our 4-night stay at Mike's. They were very responsive when I messaged them through Booking.com before the trip. I appreciated how clean the resort was and the friendliness of the staff. We were in Dauin for diving, and it was extremely convenient to stay at Mike's and do our diving through the resort. We did 3 days of diving there - one of them off Apo. Our guides were Jury (a freelance guide) and Ace, and they were both great. Ace had a GoPro and was so kind as to share photos/video from our dives with us. There's a restaurant on site, but if you walk ~10 minutes, you can go dine along the main street in town. Definitely would recommend staying at this resort, especially if you'll be diving.

Good service from the second we arrived The food was very well priced and very good The resort is constantly kept in good condition The room was very clean and Aircon worked great We enjoyed the pool and atmosphere at dinner with the lighting

Nothing we enjoyed everything

I couldn’t recommend staying at mikes enough. The whole atmosphere is super chilled out, everyone is so friendly and because it’s a small resort you get to know the staff and feels like a big family. Also met the owner Mike who was very hospitable and took time to chat to guests. The five sites around mikes were amazing also with great dive boats and 3 dives a day

Nothing couldn’t fault it

Its great resort, especially staff is diving centre is amazing and helpfull. We have done a lot of dives and enjoy each of them. Beach was very nice with clean water and very fine sand.

Room looks on the pictures a bit bigger than in reality. I would prefer to have a fridge instead of TV :-)

Lovely small dive resort on the beach. Very friendly and welcoming. Very professional dive team including boat team. Chester, the Resort Manager was very helpful, informed and nothing was too much trouble. Diving was exactly what we wanted, muck diving for beautiful small marine creatures with the option of day trips to Apo Island where the coral was some of the healthiest I’ve seen.

This is a class act operation. Great staff, very caring and capable dive guides, food was tasty, and room was pleasant. I would stay here again!

Breakfast choices could be a little better.

It was comfortable. No frills, no pretensions. Only 12 rooms so it felt intimate and personal. Chester the manager and the staff were all very warm and welcoming. Food was good. We all had a great time.

Really nice staff & manager, good food and perfect for diving

Matresses are on the thin side

Staff were incredibly helpful and kind. Will go out of their way to assist you with your travel plans.

Amazing hotel - rooms were massive and very comfortable. Staff were lovely and helpful. Location is super convenient to get around Dauin and on site restaurant was delicious. Thanks for a great stay!

Amazing friendly people Great food and drinks

The food was very good with many choices. Filipino breakfast with fresh fruits such as papaya and mango plus fish rice and eggs was delicious. Staff and dive crew were polite, motivated and experienced. Diving was excellent. Lots of choice if your interest is muck diving. Lots of separate dive sites with many different species. Never saw so many mantis shrimp on one site as here. The room house we stayed was comfortable and spacious.

It would be great if instead of just filter coffee espressos and cappuccinos would be available. There are several efforts at reef conservation which need to be continued. Natural reef is not in great shape.

Friendly staff, perfect pool and great beach access.

Friendly staff, perfect pool and great beach access.

Chester and the dive team were great and accommodating. It was full-service diving. I would. Definitely recommend it.

Extraordinary friendly staff, manager who also took care of small issues. Nice beach location

The supplementary breakfast choice could be better. Even the drink like coffee needed to pay additionally.

It was close enough to Dauin Beach that it was walkable, but far enough that there was a lot of quiet if you wanted it. All the food we tried at the resort was good! The staff were also friendly and helpful.

The people make the place! Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Manager Chester was not only helping me out during my stay but also with onward plans. Enjoyed diving with them as well. Apo Island trips are a must do. Altogether it is great value for money.

Room I was in the first night had a sewage smell. I think that was no news to them. They gave me another room straight away the next day. So it was solved nicely.

Very kindly and nicely Food is good

Air conditioner can be much quite

Chester is an exceptional manager, nothing was too much trouble. Comfortable rooms and a restaurant with great food options. Western, Mexican and Phillipines. The staff are wonderful and completely accommodating.

Beautiful hotel. The restaurant is really good, serves everything that is on the menu. Swimming pool is good. The hotel accepts card payments.

The road to get to the hotel is a dirtroad so gets quickly muddy and with water ponds when it rains. Bathroom furnitures and equipments looked a bit old or overused. Wifi was difficult to reach from our building (the new one)

Amazing location, beautiful beachfront views each morning and for diving. Great staff. Supper attentive. Chester has a great team. AMAZING food in the restaurant and the Mango and other fruit shakes are exceptional. 2 a day was holding back. The diving was EXCEPTIONAL and the dive resort staff we great as were the instructors.

Chester and his team were simply amazing! He was very responsive and assisted a lot with our stay, they were extremely accommodating and always checked on everyone’s needs. The resort is very well organised, very clean and comfortable. The restaurant was also great, the dishes were really good, they have an amazing chef. The breakfast was also nice and good portion. The dive shop is well equipped, the boat is spacious and comfortable, Ace is a really great and knowledgeable dive master. We enjoyed our dive trips a lot, it was one of our bests. I was celebrating my birthday in Mike’s and they were super kind and set up a beautiful spot for our dinner to make my day memorable, they also prepared an amazing cake which was very very kind. It was an amazing dinner and celebration.

Great location on the beach , friendly staff. Great snorkling only a ten minute walk away.

We would have liked a terras with more privacy

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Rooms are comfortable & quiet. Food is good!

The staff were very warm and welcoming! It makes a BIG difference. I planned the Dumaguete trip last minute, and stayed just 1 night at Mike's. But they were very helpful in helping me arrange the rest of my trip -- from booking motorcycle rentals, to transfers, etc. I appreciate so much the help! The room was big and comfortable and clean!

Amazing staff, nice view and happy with all the scuba diving adventures! Easy to access, a quiet cute place but able to reach the town by bus easily.

Nope~

We absolutely loved our stay at Mike’s. The room was great, the resort is beautiful and very well maintained, the food is good and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. The resort and the swimmingpool are right next to the beach. It’s a great base for snorkling, diving and doing daytrips like going to Apo Island. Would definitely recommend!

I Mike’s beach resort is a very relaxing place to stay. I love the 2nd level balcony overlooking the ocean.

I love dogs but dog fleas are drawn to its bites. got several.

A nicely run dive resort with beautiful settings, right on the beach, helpful staff, good food. The room is decent. The dive master is very knowledgeable and the dive staff is extremely helpful, pretty much the best personalized dive experience we ever got.

I had very pleasant 5 nights at Mike's! A perfect resort for diving and relaxing. Diving was really fun and well guided. The boat is nice and big. Our Apo Island trip was great. The beach is directly accesible, there's a pool area and a restaurant with delicious food. Staff is great, too! Other restaurants and stores in Dauin are 10 min by foot.

Great small resort with fantastic staff in a great peaceful relaxing location. They offer very professionally run trips to Apo island for snorkelling and diving. Food in the restaurant is great and cocktails around the pool are perfect. There is a really relaxed vibe here, everyone is friendly and feels like home. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone.

Beds were quite hard. Also only a sheet provided no blanket. Would be nice to have a light blanket for those that are used to it. Other than that all was excellent.
