Its my first going there on November of 2011. we arrived there for just a daytour with a group of 4. Beware of tricycles who overpriced in going to the meeting place usually should be around a P100. First impression was a waste of time cause the pickup station is a beach with full of trash but when the boat... More

We're having a Family Reunion this past Holidays (Christmas & New Year- 2011). My Brother Arnold invite us to this place called Potulano Diving Resort. This is my first time to Dive to the open sea and which I couldn't imagine with my own to eyes that under sea world, life was awesome, full of life, and peaceful. More

Everytime I go on a vacation I always wanted to make the most of it -- activities planned the whole day, no idle time, itinerary polished etc. However, when I feel like escaping and just sleeping for more than 8 hours (excluding siesta), I always make it a point to go with Ferdi to Portulano. Portulano is a divers resort... More

I have taken both my Open Water and Advanced at Portulano in 2009 and since then I keep going back. The resort offers great diving nearby and now thanks to the new speedboat even far away sites can be reached in as little as 15 mins which allows for a great variety of dives. The owners, Arnela and Carmela, are... More

Rooms were comfortable and a highlight was the amazing views of the sunset over the Philippines Sea. The food was consistently good and staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. The house reef offers excellent quality scuba diving (I... More

Lovely resort with nice simple, big and clean rooms at affordable prices. The balconies looking out into the bay gives you a nice view of the sunset! The owners, Arnel and Carmela are helpful and friendly arranged for transfers to and from Manila Airport which is about 2.5 hours away. I was there with a group of friends on a... More

I went to Portulano with a couple of friends over the weekend for a short overnight stay and I regret not having extended my vacation! We were completely happy to know that the place was very private. We were surprised to discover that the buffet included with our stay wasn't the usual "fried, Filipino buffet." We initially thought that the... More

I stayed here during the Holy Week holidays in April and got the fan room. There are only 2 fan rooms at the resort and they're located below the owners' family home and it has a nice view of the water. It also lent to my feeling of being isolated (which was what I wanted) because even if there was... More

...because, reading further you’ll absolutely want to visit this place and then friends of you will follow and friends of colleagues of friends of nieces (really nasty people, these ones) of friends of mothers in law,… and before you know, Portulano will have turned into a crowded, noisy mass tourism destination with grumpy staff, disgusting food and lousy diving. My... More
