We stayed 10 nights at the Crystal Blue resort last month, rooms were spacious & clean, food buffet style but put out in small amounts so always fresh.The hotel &dive staff were all excellent also plenty of fresh towels for after diving so no need to pack any.

Slightly more expensive but well worth it, beautiful resort and good food. The dive center was great, if I dove with more people the price would have balanced out....helpful and friendly staff, the dive master Glenn is competent and very knowledgeable of the area. Had a trigger fish encounter and he handled it well. Saw lobster,giant clams,pygmy seahorses, barracuda, Jack... More

We did 4 dives / day. 1 guide per 4 divers. Mike Bartick is the manager and provides a very personal touch. The camera facilities are the... More

Although narrow there are over a dozen rooms, a restaurant, dive center, lounge area, camera room, reception, gift shop, bar, massage area and landscaped gardens squeezed into the resort, so it's very intensively used. The resort is... More

I had one of the best dive trips ever in the Philippines staying at this resort with two friends of mine. The accommodation was superb although the resort being built on a multilevel system one soon learns not to forget something in your room when down at the dive level. Rooms are very comfortable although it took me three days... More

I visit Crystal blue whenever i am in Anilao. The rooms are very nice, teak wood flooring with comfy beds. Not the thin ones normally found in the province. The a/c is awesome and the view is superb. Food has been really good and consistent. Ray, the chef is always eager to try something new and is open to ideas.... More
