“SIMPLY RELAXING AND BEAUTIFUL”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2011

Me and my sister stayed here for two nights. We chose the beach front room and it was located on the second floor of the new building. The room is new and fully furnished. The view from our room was breathtaking. This beach club has a bar and swimming pool. The swimming pool is quite small but we don't mind. The people were friendly and approachable. Maam vicky and maam Ivy they were the people who accommodated us. You can easily go to small La Laguna and sabang just 15-20 mins walk. The beach is clean and well maintained. Most people who stayed here were divers but I highly recommend it to many young and old. Can't wait to come back and stay here.

“True Paradise with Service Excellence !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 May 2011

I have stayed at LLBC on a few occassions now and will never stay anywhere else again in Puerto Galera ( have stayed at a number of other places )

The hotel is well located in my opinion being out of Sabang so you get the peace and quiet when you choose to do so but also only a 10-15 min walk when you wish to go to Sabang. White Beach is also fairly easy to get to when you need to

The rooms are fairly basic but have everything you need and always very clean and comfortable. The swimmimg pool is quite small but very nice and an excellent temperature in my opinion. There is a lovely beach strip right in front of the hotel great for swimming and snorkelling.The big highlight is the "Gecko Bar" which is a simply magnificent veranda style bar overlooking the pristine area. This bar has absolutely everything with TV with international channels, music, movies and a nice pool table to play on. This area is so relaxing and a great place to mix with others. The menu is incredible with so many choices to cater for all tastes imagineable and the quality of the food is exceptional with absolutely outstanding attentative service

The waters in the surrounding area are just gorgeous and relaxing and outstanding swimming, snorkelling and diving

Massive tick for LLBC and the actual place itself as it is a pleasure to stay at such a friendly fun resort. Do yourself a favor dont stay anywhere else !

“Great experience - relaxed vibe”

One of the best experiences I've had in the Philippines. I came here with colleagues two weeks ago to dive and liked it so much I came back two weeks later to get my PADi certification. Oying, my instructor was great, the food was good, the rooms comfortable, and the bar was nice. i got in 6 dives in 3 days, and I'm going back in a month to get my next certification.

“Will be back, again and again”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 March 2010

This was my third trip to LLBC and the best. I finally did my open water dive certificate and passed thanks to our instructor Frank. For serious divers the facility has everything you need.
The food is great and the Gecko bar a great place to unwind after a serious day of diving and relaxing!
The staff are very attentive and you never wait long to be served. Sabang is a short walk for anything you need. There is a great bottleshop that sells good wine from across the world, right across from Western Union.
Island hopping is easy and cheap using any of the banca boats available.

“Great place to stay for some fantastic diving - i'd definitely go back”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 May 2009

Over all i really enjoyed my stay at La Laguna Beach Club; rooms fairly priced and clean, service was good and prompt and food was delicious. The bay where the resort is based has a really relaxed and chilled vibe, a lot less hectic than the bays round the corner. Worth noting that you can't really swim in the sea as there are bancas coming and going all the time but if you really want to bring reef shoes as it isn't a sandy bottom and the rocks are quite sharp. I wouldn't choose a beach front room again tho as despite having your own little balcony there were loads of people wandering around and we felt the need to lock it even if we were just popping away for a second. The pool is also tiny and there are only about 5 deck chairs so if you wanted diving break to sunbathe or chill there was never space to relax. The beach isn't a fantastic option to do this either sadly as the sellers are incessant. It would be nice if they had a slightly roped off part of the beach with loungers to lie on where you weren't constantly approached as there have been in other places i've visited.

If you are going for the diving i would really recommend you purchase a diving computer. As a fairly new diver i didn't have one and was a bit concerned about depths / bottom times, limits and number of dives - these all go off the charts you are taught to use in the Open Water but those with computers didn't bat an eyelid as they had computers to regulate them. The diving is absolutely spectacular. Get your Advanced Open Water before going or whilst you are there. The MV Alma Jane wreck was my favourite dive. Worth having your own safety sausage as we got separated from a diver in our group in rough water and only found him when he inflated his own one. I would totally go back again and hope one day i do!
