Mahi Mahi Dive Resort

1⃣️位置： 酒店在距離道因市區及杜馬蓋地市區很偏遠的地方，出門打不到TUTU，去道因市區吃飯每次來回超過100人民幣；如果報其他潛店，會被加收接送費。 2⃣️服務： 酒店不允許自帶食物和酒水，酒店回覆“為了讓客人在酒店消費”。酒店不允許客人自己洗衣服，要付費送洗。 3⃣️配套： 我們還在辦入住沒有休息，女老闆就開始推銷FD，問過之後發現價格比其他潛店貴，我們禮貌回絕説要考慮。她緊接着問要不要馬殺雞，我們説不要，她就一直説你們不喜歡嗎。 3⃣️設施： 酒店照片很美，但是裝修品質對不起價格，空間很侷促，容易撞到的直角很多。洗澡的花灑很舊，因為鬆動無法調整高度，窗簾遮光度只有30%。（圖片是7點的陽光） 4⃣️噪音： 酒店的狗性格暴躁經常狂吠，包括晚上12點及早上5點。因為隔壁有雞，周圍都是貧民窟，天剛亮此起彼伏的雞叫。早上6點開始，員工在樓下大聲聊天，機器聲音轟隆轟隆在響。 5⃣️其他： 因為以上不滿，我要求提前退房，擔心有沖突，讓攜程通過AGODA聯繫酒店，一直到8點都沒有回覆，衹能先出門潛水。等到12點我看到手機，攜程告知我可以退房。 回到酒店，女老闆敲門，沒有為早上員工的吵鬧道歉，衹告訴我超過12點需要500P罰金。我告訴她可以，我會盡快整理行李。 離開時，女員工在樓下拿着罰單守着。我一下樓她立刻迎上來，説“女士，500P罰金”。沒有任何歉意與禮貌，只有錢。

My wife and I are staying at the MAHI MAHI Dive resort as I write this review. The accommodation is modern, stylish and to a very high standard. Our room and public areas are kept super clean every day. The beds are very comfortable and pillows/ bedding of high standard.The gardens are beautiful and the pool is a joy to swim in. The sun loungers are very comfortable and clean beach towels are readily available from the friendly and super helpful staff. Our breakfast is included and very nice. We have eaten at the restaurant once or twice and found the service and food to be good. So far I have taken part in three dives with the dive centre at APO Island. Prices are fair and reasonable.The dive team are fun and provide a professional service at the same time. I am an older diver and have one or two physical restrictions. The guys on the boat could not do enough to help me in every way possible.Thanks so much I had a fantastic days diving. The general ambience at MAHI MAHI is one of quiet tranquility and friendliness. Looking forward to our remaining two days Big thank you to all the staff Tom & Georgie UK

The place is is well- maintained, cozy and perfect for our staycation. Great for couples, friends or families. the photos are accurate. It's veautiful! Lots of spaces are available for lounging and introspection. The food was yummy! Just what we needed for a quick break! I also love the interiors and the curtains are lovely. I love the details in the comfort room - we can control which kind of shower to use, we were given 1 bath towel and 1 beach towel per person and the availability of a blower was a huge plus for us! I appreciate the attention given to the details in that room. Kudos to the staff - Cherry, Moon, Christian and Marinel! These people are so accomodating and sweet! Requests are easily granted with big smiles on their faces. Thank you! Say hi to Milo for us. ♥️ 4 stars because: 1. Great coffee can make someone's day. The restaurant's brewed coffee has a lot of room for improvement. 2. Prices for transfers could still be adjusted. 3. Accessibility for seniors or PWDs are not yet in place (although I'm sure the staff would be more than happy to assist just in case) 4. This is totally out of the hotel's control so it's understandable but there was this annoying sound (motor) running in the background the whole morning while we were trying to listen to sound of the waves by the shore lol! Overall, it was a great experience for us! We'd love to stay a little longer or come back next time.

BOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE! We spent 3 weeks in 8 accommodations, and this is the only one we weren't happy with! BEWARE - tax is charged on top of the price that you see online. This is not the same for Philippine-owned hotels, only for this Russian-owned hotel. RUSSIAN OWNER ARGUED WITH ME OVER FOOD - in a painful situation that I struggle to forget, I ordered ribs. The smallest portion of ribs you've ever seen came out, and I ate them. I then asked if that was a full portion or not, and suggested that it must have been a starter portion. The female Russian owner came over and argued the toss with me for 20 mins at the table! I tried to back out of it and say I'd pay, but she wanted to continue to make my night even more depressing. DON'T BOOK THIS HOTEL! Ok, from the top... the place has a depressing atmosphere. The Russian owners are always sat, smoking in the non-smoking area, creating a strange, unfriendly atmosphere in the outdoor restaurant. People in the Philippines are happy, but all of the staff here seem depressed! The waitresses can't forge a smile, and the reception staff can't even manage to make a phone call to find a boat to the next island for you. We tried for 45 mins, and I ended up working it out myself! Some of the portions of food are small and EXTORTIONATELY over-priced. Wild dogs bark all night, like you've never heard in your life. The diving instructors are the most work-shy we saw in the Philippines. We attended a scuba trip just to snorkel on Apo Island, and unfortunately the instructors tried to end the trip after just two dives, which was at 1.30pm. We'd arrived at Apo at 1030. After discussion with the instructors, they agreed to stay another hour, but they made sure it was painful for us.

What can I say? Three girlfriends on a dive trip, and we had a huge, lovely room, enjoyed great service, and ate ourselves silly; the food is great. The diving was also wonderful, from drifts to night dive critters and turtles galore, and the dive crew competent; they were very helpful, as I was nursing an injury and needed assistance climbing back up on the big boat. Nothing beats a beautiful day diving, then coming home to a wonderful place to hang out. Owners Alex and Elena were super accommodating. No question, this place is a must-visit in Dumaguete.

Well maintained small boutique resort with well appointed European style rooms Beautiful outlook looking towards Apo Island Clean and stylish swimming pool Restaurant is well appointed and ordered food was good with reasonable prices I didn’t dive but dive centre seemed well equipped and they did a day trip to Apo whilst I was there . Cons Firstly the management who I believe are Russian. Upon arrival and throughout the 3 days I never was once accorded any friendly greeting or even a hello from I understand is the manager and his wife. If you own a resort then you must embrace your guests . The staff are friendly but I had the feeling that the management may make them feel uncomfortable and therefore not display the true Filipino friendless The breakfast is very basic . Coffee is almost undrinkable. Not pleasant having a dog fight beside my breakfast table one morning. Seems the owner feels it’s his own pet playground with his own barking dog . Have been in the Phillipines several months and understand the culture with dogs but this is unacceptable. They overlooked cleaning the room one day when I was out and therefore requested it be cleaned as I had dinner that evening Hammocks are made of local bamboo and are too small and unkept Internet is very poor and requires a new code voucher daily. Situated next to houses so expect barking dogs Overall I would have given this resort a higher rating if not for the management . Change the management and this resort would or could be substantially improved. I hope the owners and management take ownership of these issues.
