I went in 2019, and was more impressed. Don't know if I changed or the resort changed. I know Luke, the former manager, is now managing a resort he owns in Sabang. I had a room near the pool and the wifi took 5 minutes to connect each time. Maybe my standards changed as the room was similar to what I had before, but I did not like it as much. The instructor Rey is excellent. I did a refresher course in the pool and he taught me well. I learned never to dive without my equipment, which I left at home as I dove 4 of 19 days in Asia and did not lug my gear bag to 8 different cities. Romelle was my dive master, excellent. He was patient with me as I had some trouble getting used to their gear: weight belt vs. my integrated bcd, my fins are spring loaded vs. having to unbuckle theirs to get off. I should have brought at least my mouthpiece, as I have an underbite and cross bite so I was getting jaw fatigue, which is on me. The support staff are great: the front desk greeted me upon arrival using my name before I checked in and every contact with any staff, they always greeted me and used my name. The front desk arranged for transportation from Big Lalaguna to Batangas. German works in the dive area and was great. He helped me put on my booties, my 5 mm wetsuit and generally made sure that I was ready to go to the boat. He puts the tank on the bcd, hooks up the lines, and brings the bcd, the fins, and mask to the boat, even before you board. You bring yourself, carrying only your dive computer on your wrist. My biggest disappointment was the kitchen and the food. The kitchen staff/bartender was unattentive and the food was only so-so. I ordered fried shrimp today and got a cooked shrimp, but I had to peel it, which I hate. The onion rings were soft and no spices. The hashbrowns with breakfast was a hard hockey puck. This is a little thing, but they serve bread at breakfast, not toast on the Americana breakfast. Next store to Scandi is La Laguna Beach Club. Their food is better, cheaper, and more food. The staff is very attentive and have great personalities. LaLaguna Beach Club's menu was 20 pages, not the 10 at Scandi and the food was more inspired, like Scandi had a cook, but LaLaguna Beach Club had a chef. Maybe I nit pick, but LaLaguna Beach Club served toast with their breakfast, ketchup with their ”normal” hash browns, had nicer silverware, and salt and pepper shakers, and already had extra napkins on the table, wehreas at Scandi, i had to ask for additional napkins. The dining alone would make me consider LaLaguna Beach Club. I probably won't go back to Puerto Glara again and try an other islend in the Phillipines for my next trip.
