Mahi Mahi Dive Resort

Wonderful resort right across from Apo island. I loved my time here and everyone was so friendly and helpful. The diving was superb and the restaurant at the resort had great food. It was really a place to rest, recharge, and truly enjoy nature.

My wife and I are staying at the MAHI MAHI Dive resort as I write this review. The accommodation is modern, stylish and to a very high standard. Our room and public areas are kept super clean every day. The beds are very comfortable and pillows/ bedding of high standard.The gardens are beautiful and the pool is a joy to swim in. The sun loungers are very comfortable and clean beach towels are readily available from the friendly and super helpful staff. Our breakfast is included and very nice. We have eaten at the restaurant once or twice and found the service and food to be good. So far I have taken part in three dives with the dive centre at APO Island. Prices are fair and reasonable.The dive team are fun and provide a professional service at the same time. I am an older diver and have one or two physical restrictions. The guys on the boat could not do enough to help me in every way possible.Thanks so much I had a fantastic days diving. The general ambience at MAHI MAHI is one of quiet tranquility and friendliness. Looking forward to our remaining two days Big thank you to all the staff Tom & Georgie UK

BOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE! We spent 3 weeks in 8 accommodations, and this is the only one we weren't happy with! BEWARE - tax is charged on top of the price that you see online. This is not the same for Philippine-owned hotels, only for this Russian-owned hotel. RUSSIAN OWNER ARGUED WITH ME OVER FOOD - in a painful situation that I struggle to forget, I ordered ribs. The smallest portion of ribs you've ever seen came out, and I ate them. I then asked if that was a full portion or not, and suggested that it must have been a starter portion. The female Russian owner came over and argued the toss with me for 20 mins at the table! I tried to back out of it and say I'd pay, but she wanted to continue to make my night even more depressing. DON'T BOOK THIS HOTEL! Ok, from the top... the place has a depressing atmosphere. The Russian owners are always sat, smoking in the non-smoking area, creating a strange, unfriendly atmosphere in the outdoor restaurant. People in the Philippines are happy, but all of the staff here seem depressed! The waitresses can't forge a smile, and the reception staff can't even manage to make a phone call to find a boat to the next island for you. We tried for 45 mins, and I ended up working it out myself! Some of the portions of food are small and EXTORTIONATELY over-priced. Wild dogs bark all night, like you've never heard in your life. The diving instructors are the most work-shy we saw in the Philippines. We attended a scuba trip just to snorkel on Apo Island, and unfortunately the instructors tried to end the trip after just two dives, which was at 1.30pm. We'd arrived at Apo at 1030. After discussion with the instructors, they agreed to stay another hour, but they made sure it was painful for us.
