The place: Artistic Diving is situated at the end of the Punta Ballo beach strip. It's accessible by road and isolated enough from the town. The resort itself is neslted on a sloping limestone cliff with rooms at different elevations. We got the AC sans TV which is ok for the price and it's fronting the beach. The beachfront is... More

On our way home (some 120KMS from Sipalay) I realised I left my ipod inside the room. Even if LBC was a bus-ride away from Sipalay, she went thru all the hassle to send it to me, which I received the day after. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RESORT if you are looking for a place to stay in Sipalay.

We had a great time in this small, private yet cozy resort. The rooms were good for the price we're paying. The foods are reasonably priced. They have a small pool and a nice pool bar that serves almost all the drinks you'd want and not to mention the very friendly lady bartender and the resort staff. We took our... More

Had a very pleasant stay at Artistic after our unpleasant experience at Sulu Sunset. Their rates are reasonable for what you get, the rooms were the cleanest we have ever seen in any hotel or resort on the Philippines - our compliments to their housekeeping staff. Staff and food were good, can't beat the location fronting on Punta Ballo (white)... More

Perfect private get-away for divers, who like a laid-back and familiar european attitude. The resort personel are very nice, and the food is very nice too. There is a small pool and a very nice pool-bar, which makes the place the "liveliest" on the beach. Very cozy endeed! Personally I think this is the resort with the best atmosphere, although... More

Basic rooms, small pool but nice bar on the beach. Not much else to do if you don't dive, but the dive team are very goodwith plenty of dive sites to visit. No option for other activities such as local town visit. Food was ok but no wi-fi which apparently wasn't their fault.

We spent 4 days at the room fronting the beach. The room was kept clean and a good size for 3 people for a reasonable price. We enjoyed the sound of the waves splashing the shore, and the white beach. Food was decent and, what's convenient is that they allow cooking of food their guests get from the local market... More

Although neither of us are divers, my husband and I found Artistic Diving the perfect place to relax after a long day of boat, bus and tricycle travel. We were in a delux bungalow, a little small at first but as we didn't spend much time there anyway so it didn't really didn't make much difference. The super clean bathroom... More
