Our objective was to dive Manta Bowl in Ticao. We made arrangements for a 6 dive package with Ticao Island Resort. I must say the airline, airport and boat transfers were all in order. Even our one night stay in Legaspi with another hotel was all done with no hassle. Ticao Island Resort have very helpful staff, Comfortable and clean... More

Amazing island, superb staff and beach with lots of culture and wildlife. Stayed in budget room for 11 nights with my girlfriend because we couldn't leave. Thanks to the amazing dive staff GL and the excellent instructor Rico. I saw 8 whale sharks at Manta Bowl. Great diving at San Miguel island too. Lots of other things to do too.... More

We stayed for 4 nights in one of the beach front bungalows. The bungalows were cleaned every day and we found them very comfortable. The staff were always keen to help. The meals were of a buffet style, with a variety of different main meals and soup each night. We went diving with Jesse our dive guide, he took us... More

Enjoyed this off the beaten track hotel. After a 3-hour wet boat ride from Donsol the quaint beachfront bungalows were a welcomed sight. The rooms were basic but very functional. Door could be left open during the day to allow steady breeze to flow through. Beds were comfortable and bathroom was spacious with on-demand hot water. Meals were served buffet... More

We stayed for 6 nights in one beach front bungalow in end of January 2012. Family with 2 kids below 10. The bungalow is big enough for a family and has what is needed. A perfect place for combining beach, diving and family holiday. Very friendly, flexible and helpful staff. The dive center run by Rico ,fundiveasia, was perfect for... More

We went "out of season" (still hot though), and it was quiet, but the staff were kind and attentive. This is a lovely place to relax. Two neighbouring villages are interesting to visit, and the locals, like most filipinos, are delightful, and friendly. The local village children will probably find you and you'll be enchanted by them. Good for diving,... More

My partner and I stayed here for 3 nights in May. We came here specifically for the diving - to see the Manta Rays at Manta Bowl. As the Philippines had just had a Typhoon we were concerned the diving would be affected and the long trip here would have been in vain. In fact a lot of people had... More

The resort is reached by a 2 hour boat crossing from Donsol & we stayed in one of the 9 air-conditioned beachfront cabanas which are simple yet pleasant... More

The bay at Tucdugan is idillic, well protected and postcard material. Upon arrival you get to experience the wonderful hospitality of the resort staff. Accommodation has been designed to fit in with the surroundings and is of a high level of comfort. All the meals were to die for... variety and presentation second to none. Loved the way all the...
