阿基佩拉戈海灘度假村(Arkipelago Beach Resort)

The place is AWESOME, loved every moment of my stay there. All the staff are friendly and willing to assist you any time. We stayed extra days there and they helped us well. Did an experience diving the instructors was top, it was a nice time in the water. They will even go extra mile to help with extra things like to help get something in town. Definitely going back to visit again.

Very nice place and dive with them over here! The boss is a very knowledgeable course director!

Love this family friendly resort. Their family room is big enough for us 3 adults and 2 kids. We added an extra mattress so my mother doesn’t have to go up and down the stairs. We feel at home instantly. There was a typhoon going around in Philippines but the resort has a restaurant and shops are just a 10min-walk. The pool and dive center is just perfect! The crews are fantastic. Special thanks to Joy who helped to check our reservation, although it was paid through Trip.com. The best part is they are trying to reduce single use plastic by using big bottles of shampoo and shower gel. Better for the environment.

Nice beachfront with friendly staffs! Their restaurant is nice too if you’re looking for filipino dishes!

Le resort est très sympa. Leur objectif est que chacun se sente comme chez lui... Et on s'y sent comme à la maison. Dès la réservation, on est pris en charge avec la possibilité de réserver des bateaux taxi ou ferry pour le transfert depuis Batangas. Le port est à quelques minutes à pieds, mais un des bateaux du Club vient vous prendre en charge. L'accueil personnalisé est très chaleureux dès la descente du bateau, il est suivi d'un rapide briefing expliquant le fonctionnement du club avant de se rendre dans la chambre. Une heure après mon arrivée, je faisais ma première plongée... Les plongées... Rien à voir avec ce que je connaissais... Petits groupes de plongée, je suis parfois seul avec mon guide. Et parfois nous avons notre propre bateau. Chaque palanquée peut décider de l'endroit où elle plonge. Les heures de départ, c'est à la carte... 8h, 9h, 10h jusque 16h...et plongée de nuit à 18h... Je recommande tout particulièrement la journée d'excursion sur Verde Islands comprenant 3 plongée et le BBQ sur le repas sur l'île. Les tarifs sont plutôt attractifs, mais ce n'est pas au détriment de la qualité des prestations ni de la sécurité lors des plongées. Excellent restaurant, avec serveurs et serveuses aux petits soins. Je recommande sans hésiter, et c'est avec plaisir que je reviendrai...

I cannot say enough good things about Arkipelago Divers and Beach Resort. I stayed for 9 days and did 29 dives. The food was great, the service was warm and friendly and the vibe was one of family. Amy and Pedro Magsino have a well-run organization that goes all-out for their guests. I had a second floor pool view room and was very comfortable. The AC was so strong I had it turn it down. I usually went diving with Jay and Nicko. Those guys taught me how to muck dive and shoot macro photos. They identified nudibranchs and other small critters for me to take photos of. James showed me how to optimize my Olympus TG-6 camera for shooting small things. Chris, Lovely and Christine were awesome upstairs in the restaurant and Joy helped edit my pictures and made a really nice short video of my highlights at the end of my trip. I would love to return and bring friends one day. Maraming salamat po!

If you're diving, ask for the trip to Verde Island, which was fantastic! You're going to see lots of fish and feel like diving in an aquarium. You may be able to experience drift diving as well. Special Thanks to Joy and DM Jay!

I had an unbelievable experience at Arkipelago Divers Resort. I'm a new diver and wanted to get a lot of dives under my belt. Over two weeks, I was able go on 42 dives. I got to experience wrecks, shallow reefs, deep canyons, and muck dives. The best thing about it is that all the dive sites are within a 5 minute boat ride. The dive masters are very experienced and always made sure that I was comfortable. The diversity of marine life is incredible and I saw something new on almost every dive. All the staff are wonderful and Amy went above and beyond to make my stay memorable. She even sourced a hard drive for me and also got it to me when I forgot it at the resort (thanks again Amy!). The rooms are clean and the food is tasty and so convenient with everything right at the resort. I will certainly come back and stay again.
