If you are on a budget this is the place for you. Room rates are fairly cheap with only breakfast included. The menu has limited options so we walked down the beach to Atlantis Resort for several meals during our stay here. We stayed in an ocean view room #11 with two beds. The A/C worked really well. Room service is hit or miss if you can find any staff in the evenings. We waited two days before anyone came to clean our room and had to ask for clean towels and pool towels. Even then the reception staff wanted to know why we needed more than two towels. We had to explain there is no shower door or curtain to keep water from going all over the small bathroom so we need to use the towels to sop up the water. After the third day we went on a search for toilet paper and found some in a cabinet for our room. There is a mini fridge and tea kettle in the room and the dive shop owners (Critter Republic) took us to the Sunday market where we purchased some awesome food for the rest of our stay. On our last full day here we noticed a door sign that reads “please clean room” that we apparently overlooked when we checked in. It would have been nice if the receptionist mentioned, upon check in, you needed to request to have the room cleaned. I guess as Americans we take things for granted and just expect it to be done every day. Finally, We stayed here specifically to dive with Critter Republic. If I knew Critter Republic was just 200 feet down the beach from Atlantis Resort we would have just stayed there and took a couple days to dive with CR and saved ourselves the trouble.

The service was warm and thoughtful, the hotel had a very good view, clean and hygienic, the room was relatively large, and the family had no problems with the three. The last time I went, the bath in the bathroom was not very good. I have no problem with this time, and it is a little farther away from the city.

friendly staffs, very accomodating.. I love to recommend this place for your stay.. me and my son really had a great time..

The whole hotel is very nice, just a little small, only 9 rooms, for 26 guests. But the room is large, the hotel is quiet, the holiday is very comfortable, the pool is small, breakfast is average. Diving (three times the market price) and calling a car are relatively expensive, and the restaurant is slightly more expensive than the outside. All service staff are very good. But I don't understand it. It's a good hotel. The road into the hotel turned out to be a few hundred meters long country bumpy road. It was so boring that every time you take a TUTU car, you must be dizzy. The kitchen is good, but I think it's a display, because if you use the kitchen for 100US/day, it won't cost you a lot of food at any restaurant outside.

Awesome. Just eat can only eat at the hotel. To eat seafood dinner, you have to take a 20-minute car to the center. There are not many choices for the hotel to eat, but it tastes good.

good, very good, excellent! The best hotel on Dumaguete. First of all, the hotel has a shuttle bus to wherever you go. When a group of friends come to play, it is like a nanny car. It is very worry-free. It can be seated by many people. Seeing the previous comment that the hotel is far away. Personally love this place. About 20 minutes away from the city, it is very quiet and suitable for vacation. After all, there is really nothing to see in the city. Then the hotel's breakfast is very rich. I haven't eaten it all after staying for a few days. delicious! In the end I came to learn to dive, the hotel will have this service. The coach who took me was Layla. Laughing Chinese Girl! Rich teaching experience, and one-on-one teaching is very detailed, it is really much stronger than the one-on-six outside. I originally wanted to confuse the diving card, but there was no chance! Some projects I was afraid of accompanied me slowly to overcome! When going out to dive, I encountered some situations that I was afraid of when I was studying. Fortunately, we have overcome them, otherwise we will get a certificate, and when it really hits the water, we will bring it to the dog. Thank you Teacher Layla, you took me to start this fascinating project! Hope she can see this comment.

I'm conflicted by my stay here, so I'll just lay out the pros and cons. Pros: Absolutely great dive shop. First and foremost, thank you to Gabby who was my divemaster for all my dives. He is phenomenal and a huge asset to Mike's. Jonathan who manages the diving also provided good service. The rental gear was in excellent condition except for the booties which have seen better days but got the job done. They took me and one other guy to Apo island which I do not think is a profitable trip for them with just 2 customers, but they knew how much time we had at Mike's and made it work for us. Gabby also took me out on a solo night shore dive (which was incredible). Not all dive shops will do this. Corri who manages Mike's also provided excellent customer service. She responded promptly to my emails and then gave me her number so I could Whatsapp her to coordinate a transfer from the ferry. And then after I had an issue with my A/C (see below), she thanked me for saying something so I told her all my complaints as they happened (nothing in this review will be a surprise to them), and she did her very best to resolve them. She never once blamed me as being high maintenance, at least not to my face. And really, I'm not high maintenance. Mike's just has some issues that it needs to address. The wifi was really good and it worked in my room. This is a big deal and a rarity in the Philippines when you get outside the big cities. Mixed: Mike's restaurant has a fairly large menu, and there's a full page of Mexican foods as Mike himself is from California, where I lived for many years. I had the seafood burrito and it was bad. The seafood itself was fine although perhaps not the kinds I would expect to see in a seafood burrito, but ingredient availability plays into that. The real issue is that the flavor was well off. Now perhaps I was foolish to get Mexican food in the Philippines, but I think that if you put something on your menu, you should be proud of it, and this dish was not something to be proud of. Corri did tell me that she and Mike were going to order the seafood burrito the next day and reevaluate it, so again I appreciate her taking my complaint seriously. On the other hand, I had one of the Filipino soup dishes (I can't remember the name) and it was tasty. The breakfasts were also good. So food is a mixed bag, and perhaps you'll be fine if you stick to breakfast and Filipino food. Cons: The biggest con by far is that the bed is uncomfortable. The mattress is a 3 inch piece of soft foam. That simply doesn't cut it. As a side sleeper, my hips were hitting the slats below. Corri again took my complaint seriously and brought me a second mattress to put on top of the first. This helped but these mattresses are so soft, it's still not conducive to a good night's sleep. I stayed in several other places across the Philippines during my trip, including places significantly cheaper than Mike's, and all of my mattresses
