This was a trip of many firsts -- first booking with trip.com, first time in Puerto Galera, first try at scuba diving. And it was worth it and memorable! First off, Blue Lagoon is located at the perfect spot just outside of the busy Sabang beach, where my boyfriend and I were able to still enjoy some peace and quiet. Next, I was impressed with how clean and well-kept the hotel was. I was very comfortable in the room, bath, and common areas. Third, their service was wonderful. My scuba instructor, Pierre, was very attentive and patient. The other instructors (and even staff) were so encouraging, as I was completing my Open Water Course. I have to also thank housekeeping (for keeping the room clean), restaurant staff (for the wonderful meals), and hotel staff (for arranging our activities and transfers). Finally, the facilities were great. The pool is well-maintained, as well as the scuba gear. In addition, the people (both staff and guests) were so welcoming, that it was heartbreaking to leave. We will be back for sure!
