Had the pleasure of staying at La Laguna Beach Club & Dive Centre for a few days. The staff at the hotel went out of their way to ensure I had a great stay. They organized a private boat to pick me up in Busuangas as the public ferries were canceled on the day of my arrival due to a gale warning. The food was great, and I loved the boutique style and relaxed nature of the hotel. The hotel is beautifully located right on the shoreline only 600 meters from the center of Sabang. The dive shop is part of the hotel making diving a breeze. I have been scuba diving for +30 years and have been diving all over the world. Puerto Galera boasts some of the best shore-based diving in the world. The soft coral is stunning and the biodiversity is amazing. Great diving for looking at small stuff. Visibility averages between 15-25 meters which will disappoint some, but not me given the number of critters to look at. You will be hard-pressed to find a better and more professional run dive shop. Top-notch, new equipment; great friendly dive instructors and attention to safety. Most of the more than 30 dive sites are just 5-10 minutes away by boat giving you time to do more dives and rat the hotel in between dives. La Laguna Beach Club & Dive Centre is located only 3hrs away from Manila making diving possible even if you have only a few days.
訪訪客Absolutely cannot recommend this place highly enough. It's a litte further down the sea front but tucked away from the noise while still being right on the water. The room was immaculate and spacious, cleaned everyday and (surprisingly) mosquito-free. The resaurant offers fantastic food at a great price and the whole place has a family run vibe. And it's this that I rate so highly about the place. I was solo travelling over the Christmas holiday and the ladies that run the hotel were so so welcoming and friendly.They offered for me to join their Christmas dinner and kept breakfast open to me 15-20 minutes late so I could catch the 9am dive and still eat when I came back. They were all so lovely, it didn't feel like I was alone over the festive period. If I am ever to visit PG again, I'll 100% be staying at Out of the Blue.
Thank you so much fo rhaving me and for all the laughs.

JJessieca Marie TolentinoI booked for Family Deluxe Room with Kitchenette but what I received is just a Family Room with 3 beds without partitions which is way different what I have selected online. The manager asked to upgrade the room but with additional fee. We’re on a budget and could not afford to do that. I immediately asked assistance from Trip.com because the voucher I’ve received is no kitchenette and it’s inconvenient because instead of us can cook to save we need to buy pricey meals in White beach. Lucky, Howard offered us to compensate regarding the inconvenience because it stressed me out. Thanks to him.
訪訪客I stayed twice in 2 weeks and I was glad my previous establishment had bad service levels . I was recommended by a local person and from get-go the front of staff was keen to show me the available rooms. The pricing was very good for the level of service and more than adequate accomodation . check-in went quickly & smoothly and special request for a chair to be placed in the shower & additional pillows [ I am physically challenged ] was quickly responded to. The room was very clean & functional with a kettle, 2 bottles of water and sachets of coffee, sugar & creamer. The lock-box / room safe was key operated but large enough to store a laptop and a tablet and all other items. Was good to have a shower {after diving } with almost regular hot water. I showed the Lady attending to me how to make a Martini Espresso and she made it perfectly. Other cocktails were also very good. The chef was more than happy to cook what we suggested and or fresh ingredients bought as I was craving for Fresh ****ake Mushrooms and Vegetable Soup which he delivered perfectly. I was more than happy to wait for the chef to finish whatever I ordered as every meal was satisfactory and well priced. Additional request for transport was handled well & timeously. I would definitely return to stay at this venue and I am hoping by then that all building / alteration work has been completed as this was the only downside & a heads-up would have been good although even during the day I slept well throughout the building work taking place.
