We have stayed here many times over the past few years and have always had a great visit. The staff is very friendly and helpful and Bong, the manager, does a great and personable job. Staff turnover seems very slight and now when we visit it's almost like seeing family again. A year or so ago they remodeled the dining... More

This is my first time to dive in Philippines. My dive club chose Aqua Venture. This is a very good place for diving, especially our dive guide - Allen - who can always find things for us, even though the place we thought there was not anything to find. Night dive is another wonderful dive during the trip. All in... More

My cousin who lives in the Philippines took me to Aquaventure to do some diving. We drove from Manila and arrived around 11 AM. The resort was still able to accomodate our needs and we got into the water right away. We did a total of 3 dives. As a PADI Divemaster, I was able to observe the resort staff... More

You should meet Steven, better known as T-bone, one of the best among the fantastic staff at the resort. I celebrate my birhday at the resort every year with my diver friends and each time we have a great time, diving, dining and partying. Make your reservation for your group before you come.If you start early you can do two... More

I stayed mid week at the aquaVenture Reef Club and I am pretty sure I was the only one there. However, the place fills up on the weekends with divers from Manila; I noted the staff activity increased Friday afternoon for the new arrivals. The breakfast came with the room and it could easily feed three people. I had to... More

In eight days diving from Aquaventure Reef Club, we found a lot of pluses and a few big minuses. Plus: Service was friendly and helpful, especially from the dining and bar staff. The dive setup area is spacious and comfortable, with ample rinse and storage facilities (we used an outside dive master and boat, so no review here of ARC's... More

Aquaventure is an Excellent Scuba diver's resort, but not necessarily the best choice if you are a non diver. Conveniently located 2.5 hours away (drive) from Manila. I have been visiting this resort for years now, and they have constantly tried to improve their resort to keep up with the new modern resorts along Alinao beach. They have new beach... More

Guide acted like a baby sitter. Did not point out much. Put in no effort to make my dive memorable, at least in a good way. These were basic check out dives more appropriate for a beginner, not someone with over 100 dives. Even though I was diving alone with the guide, he brought us up while I still had... More

I've been to Batangas many times these past few months from Laiya, Mabini, Nasugbu, and Anilao to name a few. We only stayed here for the night thinking it was close to Laiya but it's about an hour and a half to two away. That's how big Batangas is. And we didn't know. We were just going on an adventure...

We only stayed in Aqua Venture for the day and rented out a single room for a place to keep our things safe. The room was quite simple but very clean. The bathroom was quite spacious compared to the smaller rooms which are good for 2 persons only. There areshowers outside which are quite bigger than the bathrooms inside the... More
