Atmosphere Resorts & Spa

We had poor experience but tried to keep this review focused on our overall impressions. Would not return, not special enough for money, but if diving main focus then may be a good option. Resort itself is a dive centre with accommodation, restaurant and spa, not a luxury resort. Dive centre appeared proficient (we didn’t use). The staff were friendly and eager to please but service not slick. Main restaurant offers too much choice and suffers from doing nothing well. For example, despite a pizza oven the result was more like toasted bread with some toppings. Ocean restaurant doesn’t really exist, just an upsell dining experience and food quality not worth the high costs. Room rustic rather than luxurious, bed uncomfortable, no curtains so light pollution severe and unfortunately there was building work noise well past darkness. Resort offers tours to nearby islands. There is no pier or dock to access boats for these trips, you have to wade out into sea and make way up precarious gangplank with rail held alongside. I’m over 6 feet and water well above my waist getting on and off and I found the whole process very stressful and was convinced I would fall. Sea was also rougher than we expected. Whilst there, both my wife and I suspect we had food poisoning, management argued it was a bug! Whatever it was ruined our stay, and to avoid similar problems I would encourage anyone staying to be very careful. The hygiene standards we saw at the Beach Bar for example below standard.

Everything is excellent

This is a 5-star diving resort. The property is stunning. The rooms were large and had every comfort required. The food was incredible and every staff member was attentive and friendly. They even supplied hot facial towels after snorkelling/diving and welcomed us with a drink straight off the boat. There were many pools to choose along with many dining options. A beautiful place to stay, we didn't want to leave! Well done Atmospher, truly a first class experience.

The property itself is beautiful! The dive centre and the spa were the absolute highlights. The staff at the dive centre were very attentive, accommodating and the facilities were fantastic. One of the best dive centres I’ve had the pleasure to dive with. The Spa was also great, although on the pricier side, the treatments were fantastic and the facilities were great. The room was well sized and the bed was great! We really enjoyed the outdoor shower. The reason for four stars was the resort aspect of it. The room did not come with any vanity kits (toothpaste toothbrush shower cap etc), we asked for an iron or steamer for the clothes after a very long flight and they could not provide any but wanted us to use the laundry service with an added charge. These would be amenities I would expect in a four star hotel of this price bracket. The portion sizes at the hotel restaurant breeze were so small and very over priced. Breakfast was also limited from a set menu… with additional charges on extra items- again I expected more as the charges are very high and it is rated to be a four star. Overall we had a good stay, the reception staff were very helpful especially in arranging taxis, tricycles for us to go for dinner at restaurants in town etc! Thank you!

Very very good hotel with an exceptional in house restaurant. Room was clean and comfortable and hotel benefits from a great house reef and connections to the stunning Apo Island where we saw possibly the most beautiful reefs we’ve ever seen, amazing sea life and turtles! We were snorkelling but the hotel is a dream for divers.

In my view its a beautiful mixture of east meets west with Filipino flair.

Lots of activities can choose and take during stay

Had a lovely stay here. The staff are great and they go above and beyond to make you feel special and looked after. From friendly gardeners, to smiling restaurant staff, to cheery bar staff, and exceptional dive staff who work all work incredibly hard. Diving was great and so flexible for whatever suits the guest. Really enjoyed our stay- oh and the massage was the best I have had!

great view

A beautiful resort with friendly and attentive staff.

Perfect place to relax and recharge like me I came from the airport and just hours and minutes ago as soon as I arrived me and my nieces, nephews, friends and relatives was very excited to see and what atmosphere can offer since it’s was all our first time to go and stay for a night even if we’re just live close by., but me being on a vacation mode wants to explore it with family and friends to relax and enjoy the ambiance of the resort.

We had a nice stay.

I like the staff. From the grounds keepers to the front desk. Every single person made sure you were taken care of.

All Good

Great hotel great staff several pools overlooking the sea . Food in the restaurant was excellent but pricey, the restaurant need to re think their deserts , especially the sorbet which was terrible and their portion sizes need to increase . We suggest that rather then use the Super expensive hotel spa , you go outside , get a bike taxi for 150 pesos to Dauin “high street” there are 2 great spas , one is limspa (A tenth of the price of the hotel ) the other is the blind spa which I did not experience but heard was also excellent .

DO NOT STAY HERE!!! Upon drop off is a very long walk everyone must do on uneven ground just to check in, no other way! We stayed for three nights (2 deluxe rooms and 1 premium suite). There’s some complimentary fresh fruits and the note says you can ask for more if requested. My company on the other room has not received any fruits at all & requested personally to a staff, she said it will be sent out but never came. I called the front desk and requested slippers for room use (those cheap white slippers you always find in hotels) I was told by the staff that they don’t provide slippers unless your room is above deluxe and you can purchase a slipper in their boutique. I was very disappointed and to think that we paid 13,000 (thirteen thousand pesos) per deluxe room per night! The food was ok but prices were unbelievably expensive. My friend inquired regarding a massage and a simple one hour massage will cost you more than 3,500 (three thousand five hundred). I can never recommend this kind of hotel to family and friends. After checking out on the last day, you walk on the same way you came in.

Atmosphere has always been a beautiful resort and they have just now opened up a new area with some additional rooms, another pool and a brand new state of the art restaurant. Staff is wonderful. It’s a bit pricey for the area to be honest but you get what you pay for as they say.

Very comfortable beds, immaculate gardens and relaxing ambiance
