We enjoyed our 3 nights stay at Planet Dive Resort.It is very near Twin Rocks and its hoise reef is great for snorkelling. We had our skin diving practice there. We spotted huge porcupine fish, trumpet fish, many colourful Basslets, Anemone fish and even a lobster. The resort has many rooms and we stayed at Red 1 room which has a nice shower room and more than enough space for our luggage & sea activity gear. We hope they have a portable towel rack in the future so that we can hang our wet swim wear outside the room. We love the fullboard meals. We had fresh & scrumptious seafood and generous spread. The Chef also prepared diffetent dessert for us daily. There are free coffee & tea at the dining area that faces the sea.. The swimming pool is new and we saw that the staff cleaned it every morning. The whole compound was kept very clean. However, there was no diving actvities on Tuesday when we wanted to scuba dive. They could arrange a Dive master for a very affordable price but only for shore dive as thete was no other divers that day to share a boat out. All the staff were friendly and helpful - they are mostly from the village next to the resort. We highly recommend staying here as a base for water activities in Anilao

Absolutely fun stay for me and my family. Our small bulldog had so much fun at the beach playing with other dogs. The staff and owner were very accommodating. Snorkeling was so much fun. I have lots of great reviews about Planet Dive. Will surely book with them again soon!

Comfortable, spacious rooms
Plenty of room for our bags and belongings, and a very comfortable bed. I especially liked the large, minimalist room and bathroom. Good A/C and cellular access on Globe. Food was honest, tasty and abundant Filipino cuisine. The infinity pool was fresh water and delightful. The staff was very accommodating. Only a couple of suggestions to management:. Please make the sliding doors slide more easily and install wifi in the rooms. In general you are doing a great job. The diving was excellent.

Traumatizing
For my birthday, my friends and I went to Planet Dive for island hopping to visit 2 islands and we rented a boat for 3,000 for the said package. When we got there, minutes into the very dangerous boat ride (I was with 3 friends and we all thought we were about to die), we were informed that we needed to go back to the resort. Once we got back, I tried to dispute the 3,000 price since we were promised a package for island hopping, we almost died and we didn’t get to visit any but the front desk attendant (I think her name is ate Nene) was very RUDE and showed no concern to us, their guests. At first, after explaining our horrible boat ride, she was very persistent that we still pay for the whole amount. She then talked to the manager and eventually told us that we can pay 1,500 saying “sige, bayaran niyo na lang yung kaya niyo” (“ok, just pay what you can afford”). It was very HUMILIATING since she was trying to imply that we were disputing the charges since we don’t have money, when in fact, I was disputing the charges because they weren’t able to provide the package that they promised and WE ALMOST DIED. Upon checking out, no one even thanked us for staying with them and no one even apologized for putting us at risk and when they found out that we’re commuting back to Manila, they even tried to belittle us even more.

Great place for Divers!
I really enjoyed my stay at Planet Dive. I initially found it difficult to contact the hotel as I couldn't find a current email address on their website. I needed to contact them as I had booked the hotel on Expedia, but needed to add the diving I wanted to do and a transfer. I ended up contacting a Dive Master (DM) I'd previously dived with who told me the email address. Having said all that, once I had the email address, the responses were very efficient and accommodating. (planetdiveanilao@gmail.com for anyone who may have had the same problem). The hotel organised the transfer for me to and from Manila. I preferred to do this as I was a female travelling alone and my flight landed at 3:30am! I was solely there to dive and crammed in 10 dives in 3 days and loved them. The DM I dived with was a good spotter and found me some macro life/critters to photograph. He even managed to find my request of a Harlequin Shrimp, although obviously finds like this aren't guaranteed! The room was clean and quite big with a lovely view overlooking the sea. I only had 1 encounter with a cockroach in there. I found the food tasty but there was so much of it! On the days where there were more guests, they served it as a buffet/help yourself affair. There wasn't a choice from a menu as the meals were set but different every day. There is a bit of a steep climb up stone stairs to the rooms so if mobility is an issue, it wouldn't be easy to get around. I would definitely go back there again.

Truly a "Dive" resort. Dilapidated. At best a 1 star. A ton of trash on the West beach. Very few fish. Nothing else to do in the area. Construction noise from 7 to 7 every day.

BEAUTIFUL and relaxing :)
This resort is absolutely GORGEOUS. The views of the water/sunset/palm trees from every room are simply divine. The rooms are charming, clean, and spacious. Water in the showers was only luke-warm but that seems normal in the Phillipines? Wifi is only in the public areas but I found it nice to unplug. The beach is rocky, but great snorkeling/diving options! They have a lovely deck where they serve dinner right on the water and comfy beach chairs to lay out on. :) The food is a buffet style- 2 meat dishes, a vegetable dish, always rice and sometimes pasta- very good! They have beer/some wine but if you want hard liquor you can buy it in town and bring it in! It is a 30+ min tricycle ride from the town of Mabini, so if you want to go there to explore/eat, budget a bit of time/money for the ride. This place is great for a romantic getaway but could also be amazing to bring a big group of friends (make sure to get everyone dive certified before or plan to work with their schedule to get trained there!).

Very nice place for snorkeling and diving.
* You must always keep in mind this is the Philippines and certain luxuries come at a premium. You also need to keep in mind the quirks of being in a country like the Philippines. All things are relative when traveling. I live and work part of the year in the Philippines and Batangas is a great because it can be a short vacation trip without flying. Planet Dive was a new resort to me and was very pleased with location and atmosphere. Like a lot of reasonably affordable places in the Philippines it has some quirks but relative to other places I stayed Planet Dive had few. Overall very happy with Planet Dive Like a lot of resorts in the area they are right on the beach. For those not diving you can go a couple meters into the water and you are swimming with coral and fish. For the diver you can dive by the resort or take a boat further out. A lot of options for the underwater explorer of all skill levels. I would not say this reef in front of the resort is the best, but it is good and worth the time. I can not speak for the diving because I have not gone in the area yet, but I have heard it is even better the the resort reef. The resort itself had many rooms scattered over the property to adds the the level of privacy. The dining area is great, with a nice view and amazing Filipino food. They use local coffee from Batangas which is perfect in the morning. Not a white sand beach and this is for people that want to snorkel or dive. Allow plenty of time for travel, it is the

Fantastic place for diving vacation
Very friendly and helpful resort staff & dive centre staff, provided lots of services which more than my expectations. Nice and quiet location with beautiful views. Although there were only basic facilities, we felt relax and safe to stay in the resort. The room was clean, with towels changed everyday. The sunbath area was great. Food was buffet style. We like the homemade apple pie as our dessert after dinner. The weather was fine for the whole week (early March). The professional DM took us to many different dive sites. We could see lots of marine life in each dive, and even for the shore dives.
