Sandingan Dive Resort

Great place to chill out, a bit away from the hectic beaches of Panglao, but in reach of all attractions of Bohol. Beautifull and spotless rooms with lots of attention to detail. Nice pool to swim and play. The view from the deck is great. The restaurant is one of the best we have experienced in the Philippines. By far the most outstanding thing is the hospitality from all staff. They really went the extra mile to accommodate our family. If diving is resumed, I really love to spend a couple of days l to do a course or just a bit of diving around the islands!

Cleanly maintained little facility there are also diving courses offered and the boss is a cool guy.

We spent 10 days at Sandingan Island Dive Resort (SIDR) as part of our Honeymoon. It was our first stop on the Philippines and we never regretted our decision.
First of all the whole booking process was super smooth (we even changed our arrival date one day in advance! ). Communication was very quick, we usually got responses in less than 1 hour and even ironed out the final details via text message.
After transfer from Tagbilaran ferry port (organIzed by SIDR) we instantly felt at home at Erwin and Richelle's little paradise. Everything was clean and well kept, the rooms (there are only 8 rooms in 4 cottages) are spacious very pretty furnished and everything is provided for. The team are all (as far as we know) local people from the island and friendly and helpful in every way. They act like a little family and seem really happy to work there. We had a personal diving instructor for our open water certification (as we were the only people diving at that time). Diving Equipment was also in perfect condition and well kept.
There is a choice of Breakfast options included in the room rate, with more options to chose à la carte. Food is always fresh — which also means that some dishes are not available one day but certainly the next. There is also a free water station and water is provided at every meal or even when you just sit in the restaurant to read, study or plan your future trips.

We had the best possible time at the Sandingan Dive Resort — even as non-divers. (We joined the boat for snorkeling though which was great. ) The resort is beautiful, lovely rooms, restaurant with a view. Erwin and Rhian were thoughtful and very helpful hosts, the staff was fantastic. Thanks to all for making it a stay to remember. ♥️

Really wonderful stay! The rooms were lovely, with nice modern decor and a very comfortable bed. My boyfriend and I completed 2 fun dives, with a great guide (Gilbert) who took us to some fantastic spots. Massive thankyou to Erwin for helping us get to the ferry port on time! All the staff were so friendly with Shereen showing us around and everyone making us feel welcome. The food was spot on, 100% recommend trying the local dishes! Thankyou!

We arrived in the middle of the night. We could not have found a better place! Relaxing, friendly, welcoming and an amazing island to dive. But how can you keep a secret in the age of the Internet! :-)

Diving on the near places or area. The place is where we have a certain area inherited by my parents.

We had a fantastic stay at the Sandingan Dive Resort. The staff there is super friendly and if you have any questions or problems they are happy to help you out. The rooms are all individually decorated and very clean. There is a room service every day so the rooms stay clean and nice. Also the service in the Restaurant is really good and fast. The breakfast is delicious and you can choose from a fairly big range of food. Also the Dive Center there is amazing. The gear they have is almost brand new and clean as well. No ripped suits or dirty regs. The corals are really healty and there are heaps of fish around. I can just recommand you to book some night in the Sandingan Dive Resort and enjoy the holidsys there.
Big thank you to the great staff.

Relaxed and super comfortable stay! A perfect way to cool down and simply enjoy diving:
Many superb corals and great dives with a very entertaining dive master:)
Comfortable rooms, just like in the photos. Design is great, with alot of attention paid to details. Water pressure in the shower is rather low, but this is more of a luxury problem :)
Great, attentive personnel.  Food is absolutely delicious, but could have more condiments to make it even better!
The pool was great for chilling.
The surroundings in Sandingan are super nice though the island is missing a quality beach, the locals are very friendly and helping.
Just chill out and enjoyed the time at Sandingan, it was the perfect choice for our diving escape!

Nice view of the dining area.
