Mike's Dauin Beach Resort

The diving was awesome ... something new every dive. Guides (Ace) were very skilled and spotted all the things we wanted to see on our muck diving treasure hunts. Resort staff and manager were super friendly and sorted a couple of our trips outside the property. Trip to Oslob went well with total round trip 6am to 1pm and no wait in any queue to see those wonderful whale sharks. Another day trip to the Baslay hotsprings we did by scooter, what fun! Beautiful Tokamak restaurant was a great place to eat. Overall, no complaints with Mike's, peaceful and diving at the pace that suits you.

The staff was very attentive and always smiling and very courteous. Delicious menu

Quite

Fantastic stay here -amazing diving and staff..brilliant diving guides - and weird critters eveywhere! Our only issue was the food..but we ended up walking to other nearby restaurants which was also great Thank you for a lovely time

The resort was not as big as expected. The wait for restaurant food was too long, but it tasted great. The beach was not as good for snorkeling.

Excellent value, and staff a great team including expert dive instruction fantastic location, beautiful surrounds.

Very quiet place to get away and relax. Also staff and service was great.

Room too small for the price and breakfast not included. Bed mattress too think. Bed too narrow. Air condition old. No safe box in room. Internet wifi only works close to the bar area. They have the potential but they have to invest in the business. Not comparable with properties beneath.

Great staff, VERY comfortable beds, clean and great scuba diving

다우인에는 다이빙 하러 간거라 다른 다이빙 센터에서 3일 다이빙을 부킹하고 여기서 숙박했어요. 여기도 PADI 샵인데 개인적으로 저희가 갔던 다이빙 센터보다 장비도 더 새거고 관리도 잘 하고 있고 깨끗하더라구요. 그래서 사실 좀 후회했어요. 친구가 중국 센터로 갔었는데,, 여기가 더 나아보였어요. 저녁에 방 앞에 있는 카우치에 앉아서 살랑살랑 바닷바람 맞으면서 사진 정리하는 그 기분 ㅠㅠ! 나가면 바로 앞에 바다 있고요, 레스토랑 음식도 맛있었어요. 다음에 또 다이빙 가면 여기로 다시 갈 의향 있어요. 다이빙도 여기서 바로 하구요.

Mike's really grew on us over the course of a 5-day 6-night stay. The friendliness and helpfulness of all the staff is infectious, this attitude affects all the guests; after a few days of hanging out, diving, eating with the other guests, you find everyone's happy, everyone's a friend. The resort has three parts: the hotel, the restaurant, and the dive operation. The hotel is nice but not deluxe, the room was very clean, spacious, and comfortable. The bed was so-so but not out of line for this price point, as were the provided amenities. Housekeeping was great, any requests were immediately looked after. The best review goes to the dive shop, headed by accommodating and friendly Nic. After deciding not to do our planned Advanced Open Water course, Nic set us up with two day trips diving at Apo Island which is a must-do for any diver. Novice divers, we were paired with divemaster Romel. Although not taking specific lessons from him, he was a most patient and helpful teacher, especially for my wife who felt very comfortable and safe diving with him. He also had amazing eyes, able spot so many interesting things. I kept trying to find something before he saw it but generally to no avail. I think the lowest review goes to the restaurant. The food we tried was just OK, but worse was the slow service. Example - breakfast ordered the night before for 7:00, we got coffee at 7:20, breakfast, just fresh fruit at 7:30, no one else in the restaurant. Still, really enjoyed our stay!

Great resort but not so vegan friendly if you are vegan there are only 2 meals on the menu and owner not sympathetic to vegan choices. This was our second visit

Very charming resort and they do a great job of helping you with learning to dive or diving trips. We did a discover diving trip which was a lot of fun, what a great experience! Also did a snorkeling trip to Apo Island which was fun. The food is quite good and reasonable. The bedrooms are spacious with large bathrooms and I loved the variety of trees and greenery on the property. The staff were very friendly and the service was very good. I would definitely go back again.

staff was amazing, the water was amazing, pure relaxation with an amazing staff

This was the second stay at Mike's Dauin Beach Resort for my fiancee and me. We stay her last year and was VERY IMPRESSED. So we decide to book here again this year. Once again, we were not disappointed. We had s wonderful stay. The staff were very nice and very accommodating to our needs. The onsite restaurant makes delicious food that is reasonably priced. The rooms & grounds are clean, comfortable and well maintained. There was some renovations going on this year, but the construction was not too intrusive on our stay. Once Again, we had a GREAT STAY and would happily recommend it to anyone who is looking for a wonderful place to stay and unwind while In the Dumaguete area.

The resort is a small, nice and comfortable feeling place. The accommodations are clean and equally simple. It is a fair price for what you get, nothing more and nothing less. The food is pretty good with a flair for the Mexican cuisine. The staff is nice and definitely makes an effort to ensure satisfaction. I am not really sure I would go back but that is not really the fault of the resort, it is just not my cup of tea kind of place and I am not a diver either. Have been wanting to try it for a while due to the high marks I have seen it get in reviews. I am glad I did and I am glad it was only for a short stay. Met my needs at the time. Thank You.

We received a quaint and warm welcome from the friendly staff whom are always willing to lend a helping hand. The only confusion was the side trip organized by the hotel. We were not clearly informed on what to expect and there were “surprises” along the way. We went with the flow and enjoyed ourselves nonetheless. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay which was comfortable and clean with great food choices on-site and taste.

My GF & I booked a two night stay at Mike's Dauin Beach Resort. We had a WoWonderful Time. Niether my GF or I are divers & Mike's does cater more toward divers. Dispite this, they made us feel Welcomed & right at home throughout our stay. We actually extended our stay to five nights, due to an unexpected typhoon. The manager was very accommodating to our needs. During our stay we ate at their onsite restaurant several times. ALL of the food was EXCELLENT & reasonably priced. In short, I would highly recommend Mike's Dauin Beach Resort to anyone visiting the Dumaguete/ Dauin area.

The entire staff were excellent, very polite & courteous. The room was very spacious & extremely clean A very clean resort Good choice of food items on the menu The quality of food was good. Myself & my family will not hesitate to go back & stay with the resort. Many Thanks to all the staff who made our stay at the resort very comfortable & happy.

I read all reviews and are all legit. As a manager myself I can truly say that the hotel had earned my highest vote. The room is clean and bathroom equipped with a hair dryer (a first in a provincial hotel) and was so happy. The supplies was ample for 3 days stay (fluffy towels, shampoo, hair conditioner and soap). The staff was so attentive and friendly. They loved their jobs and are constantly cleaning and serving with a smile. All our meals were served hot and very important for Americans. Food are of good portions and sumptuous. We met several guests who has stayed in this hotel numerous times. This hotel is s gem.
