Mayumi Resort

Rooms: The bathroom had a funky smell. Had small roaches. Water is a bit salty. It's pretty decent for sleeping quarters. Balcony doors were hard to open. Airconditioning was noisy. Service: Crew doesn't quite feel hospitable. Location: The flight of stairs was steep. No service nor crew to help you on the way down. The area has no reception. Beachfront looked pale. Verdict: Would ONLY go here for the Freediving. I wouldn't stay here if I had a choice.

The resort is not fancy but they do take care of the guests. The rental gear is well maintained but myself and one other diver got headaches the last time we dove; we can only assume bad air. Cheap only goes so far.

A superb, small and friendly dive place. There is direct access to superb macro dive sites by local boat. Payment is per dive, paying for boat and DM and tank, plus daily fees for diving and kit hire. Nearby dive were 900ps while island sites 1700 each. DM per dive cost 800 and tanks are 200. Depending on what kit your have or need it soon adds up, esp if you are solo diver (like me) Food is excellent value and quality if you have the set food option 1100 per day for breakfast, lunch and evening meal. Photos show the amazing spread each time. WiFi is patchy& runs off a dongle only. There is no pool and no tv in room. I have had superb DM with 5 dives that were variety of sandy bottom, coral rubble and coral reef and wall sites. Huge macro variety to see with very managable currents.

I guess the place is alright, clean , reasonably nice. But we weren't really satisfied with the cost\value ratio. We went for diving trip for a weekend and all considered (rooms,food, diving, equipment rental etc) the experience was a little bit worse then what we had in several places in puerto Gallera but the overall price was almost double.

Rooms and amenities 2 stars but service is amazing. This is a great dive resort with great dive leaders and equipment for rent. There is only one room that is on the beachfront and thats room #1 with a small patio facing the ocean and we’re lucky we got that room. Room #2 is at the back of room 1 but no sea view cuz no patio. The rest of the rooms are up hill and u have to walk up and down. Their local food such as Sinikang, Tocino, and etc are good but their international food and cocktails are not exactly what u’d expect so definitely go for the local menus! The room we got has 1 queen bed and 1 twin making it very small for diving gears so we had all our gears on the twin bed that we dont use. We dive during 1-5 Dec 2017 fullmoon so all sites were murky but others did come during christmas and they didnt get any murky water once. Water temperature is approx 28-29c. A lot of small critters but not as rich as Malapascua or Boracay.
