Loved our stay at Pintuyan. Staff were great. Rooms were clean and beds so comfortable. The restaurant had great variety. Would definitely stay here again.

Our stay at Pintuyan Dive Resort was truly wonderful! Its prime location made it perfect for diving and whale shark watching. While the room was simple, it was spotlessly clean and well-maintained. What really set this resort apart was the extraordinary atmosphere; we enjoyed fantastic, tasty dinners at the communal table and had engaging conversations with the host and other guests. This unique experience far surpassed the luxury of any 5-star resorts we visited on the same trip.

Although we did not get to see any whale sharks due to environmental factors beyond the resorts control. We were met by the staff with smiles and checked into our room immediately. once we settled in our room we went to sit and enjoy the ocean side and were met by Ralf the owner. he along with all the staff were very welcoming and informative as to the diving activities and gave us a personal tour of the resort, I noticed he does this for all guests. the food was excellent and we enjoyed the group meals together. It was a nice way to meet the other guests. the dive guides were excellent and dive boats were a nice change from the usual Philippine dive boats. The kitchen staff were all so friendly and helpful, and caring. When we left they all came out to say bye. Pintuyan Dive resort is a very personal experience. We didn't feel like we were just a customer, more like a house guest with friends. We will definitely be recommending Pintuyan Dive resort to Friends and Colleagues.

Sehr gut ausgerüstetes und organisiertes Tauchresort in dem sich Gäste wohl fühlen. Walhai Touren ohne Anfütterung mit Respekt vor den prächtigen Fischen.

The owners and staff were great! All of the guests were friendly. The room and food was great and affordable! The staff really couldn’t be any more helpful! Unfortunately we didn’t see the whale sharks on our 4 tours but hey that’s fishing! They did see them a day or 2 before but we are told this part of the season (December) is not so good any more due to the lack of food sauce for the whale sharks. We will try again a different month.

We were so pleased we came across Pintuyan in our search. The whale watching experience in ethical, natural conditions was perfect and we saw a number of turtles from the boat too. The facility had everything you needed, clean and comfortable and the restaurant/bar offered lots of food options. We are not generally very social but enjoyed the social breakfast and dinner (which you do not have to join but it nay appear strange if you don’t) the other guests were very nice and relaxed which is an indication of the type of people drawn to the area. You can walk along the beach or road for a walk around the local town, other than that the location is simply for the whales from what we experienced. My only negative comments would be the music played quite loud in the restaurant early one morning which woke me up after arriving at 2am was not ideal. This only happened once though. Secondly the boat guide got in the way a lot whilst swimming with the whale shark to take his own video and made me unable to keep up with it at one point. Guests should be the priority and he should stay back ensuring the guests have the best experience.

L'etablissement est incroyabement bien tenu, en front de mer sur une plage de galets, les requins balaine sont dans la baie juste devant. Le restaurant de l'hotel est pas cher et vraiment bon. Tout est vraiment parfait, le cadre est idyllique. Sachez juste que les paiements par carte sont soumis à une charge de 5%. Prévoyez des de l'espece car la facture en fin de séjour oeut etre salée entre les excursions, le snorckeling, le scuba diving, le resto etc...

We had a very pleasant, although short, stay at Pintuyan Dive Resort. We are not divers, but wanted to try to see whale sharks in a more natural and ethical setting. After researching several other resorts, I chose here based on its proximity to where the whale sharks are often found, the ability to go on a whale shark watch any day of the week (was told by some other places it only possible on certain days), and due to the ability to go with just my husband and I if needed (some places required minimum number of people- or allowed for very large groups, which we also wanted to avoid), as well as the good reviews for the resort. They were responsive by email ahead of time to answer all of my questions. We were very happy with the decision to stay here. It was such a beautiful area, and very quiet and peaceful. The room was spacious and had everything we needed. The food was very good, and there was a large menu of items to choose from. The owner, Ralf, was very friendly and welcoming, as was the rest of the staff. We were able to enjoy snorkeling right in front of the resort. And we were fortunate enough to get to swim with a whale shark on the watch we took, which was such an exciting start to our time in the Philippines. Even without, however, we would have enjoyed our stay here. Highly recommend!

An absolutely superb dive resort. I thoroughly recommend it to divers and non divers alike. The staff were attentive and professional. The location, amazing. The food was better than anything I could have imagined, and I’m fussy! As a dive professional who has experienced a fair amount - I would say this is the best place I have ever been. Thanks to Ralph and the crew. Looking forward to seeing you again.

Ihanan idyllinen paikka, jossa vieraat otetaan lämpimästi vastaan. Valashait kruunaavat paikaikan. Turvalista sukeltamista.

Fantastic dive resort! Ralph and the crew were so extremely nice and welcoming. They really went the extra mile to make our stay and dives amazing. Rooms were clean and comfortable, restaurant was excellent, and the whale shark spotting tour was unforgettable (we swam with them 5x in one tour!). We highly recommend this resort to anyone looking to swim with the whale sharks in Sogod Bay and/or dive in the area.

Juan Carlos • Couple Trip

El resort es magnífico en un emplazamiento muy bonito, la playa de cantos rodados espectacular, con muy pocas habitaciones que lo hace muy familiar. Destacaría lo bien organizado que están las zonas comunes y la limpieza del lugar. Las habitaciones son amplias y se echa en falta un minibar. El aire acondicionado tiene un contador y el consumo lo pagas aparte. Se bucea, pero también, como en nuestro caso, se realizan expediciones para avistar el tiburón ballena para quienes practican esnórquel. Pero incluso si no quieres hacer nada enfrente del resort hay un esnórquel muy bueno. La cocina es de las mejores que hemos probado durante un mes y medio en Filipinas. La gerencia y el personal es excepcional. Las cenas son en una mesa comunal para decidir lo que se hace al día siguiente y cómo, y esto, quizá, puede ser un inconveniente para quien no sepa inglés, o alemán, pero nada insoslayable si te gusta interactuar con la gente. Un pero que le pondría al lugar, que se tiene por respetuoso con el medio ambiente, es que no hay depósitos donde rellenar las botellas de agua viéndote obligado a comprar varias al día con el plástico que eso comporta. Se nos hizo corta la estancia de cinco noches. Echamos de menos a Rocky. Volveremos.

Stayed for 4 nights and enjoyed every minute of it . You could snorkel 30 m from your bungalow. The whale shark trips were a succes, saw them on both trips. Fantastic experience. Breakfast and dinner both very good and the owner couple made me feel very welcome. Not much to do or see outside the resort, but if you snorkel or dive, you won't be disappointed.
