Chindonan Dive and Beach Resort

The location is beautiful and the locals are very friendly.

Water pressure in the rooms is very low, often just dribbling out of the shower head. Also the concrete path has very tall steep steps w/no lights and can be very slippery.

Wife and I went for wreck diving and enjoyed the dives.

Everything about this property is in need of repair. The electricity only runs from 4:30pm to 7:00am. Rooms are not insulated and they never get cool.WiFi is spotty and the staff sits around and uses up most of the bandwidth. No daily room service or hot water in shower. Food was OK but they constantly ran out of drinks. The dive boats are old and worn out but they do run. The dive shop needs repair and the construction crew used the rinse tanks to wash their dishes. The resort is undergoing a major renovation but they really need to shut down until this is completed.

Amazing location for the Wreck Dives. The staff are all so accommodating and lovely. We have stayed there twice now and we love it.

Nice view relaxing And quite area

Sea view Beach

The local staff are really lovely and the food was amazing. The island and location is just beautiful. The resort itself is small, which is nice, starting though to be in need of some TLC and updating (we understand this is planned).

Limited equipment was available, although the staff very kindly went out and bought more snorkelling gear for us. Diving is mostly wreck-focused so if you are into looking at sunken japenese warships, then its great.

The room was spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable. The kitchen personnel were very kind and made a delicious dinner.

A lot... first we had no water coming from the shower or sink for at least two days, that was extremely uncomfortable. The price for the boat trip to get there and back is too high. For the amount of money they ask for the stay you wouldn't think the boat ride is that expensive. 750php ( which already increased to 1200php) per person per transfer. There is a lot of personnel laying around on the beach beds. We asked for laundry service and once we asked for it back after 2 days it was still soaking wet with the explanation that it didn't hang in the sun (it was clear blue skies..). So we had to hang every piece of clothing in our room the night before our departure. The diving was also quit disappointing. They say that they are a dive resort but they're not. Our boat broke down halfway and we had to be towed to the dive side. We were with to many people for the amount of space so the set up was uncomfortable and chaotic. There where no spare gear on board. By my own mistake I dropped my goggles and couldn't come with the dive and had to wait. In the afternoon we took another boat which wasn't equipped for diving so there where no stairs to get back in the boat after the dive. We wanted to do a shore dive on our own. They said that they would set everything up for us. After an hour we wanted to head out and our stuff was still in the basket or missing. There were no tanks so we had to call someone who told us to go get it ourselves. Overall you can't call this a dive resort. At the end they gave us the bill. There were so many wrongs. They wanted us to pay again for the room and taxes and fees. They didn't gave us a discount for bringing our own diving equipment which they said they would in the beginning. The diving prices are the highest we have experienced in the Philippines. And they wanted to charge us the 1200php 4x for the boat.

View was stunning, staff were incredible and extremely helpful, rooms had lovely AC and were spacious.

Great location for divers and also for snorkeling: you could reach the best diving locations in the area as well as the best beaches. Very helpful and supportive personnel working on the resort as well as diving center.

Resort management could be more present and more proactive in reaching out to guests

Great snorkeling a short Kayak ride away with amazing coral. Dive staff was knowledgeable and helpful.

No internet in the rooms and electricity was off during the afternoon so no AC for several hours a day.

the hotel offered extremely well-organized and exciting diving courses. Matt The instructor was knowledgeable and attentive to the safety of the divers. I truly enjoyed this opportunity to explore the magnificent underwater world of the region.

The resort is amazing, perfect position for snorkeling and diving with incredible views. Very quiet and relaxing. We really loved our stay and would definitely go back, highly recommend.

The room price was a bit high but for the tranquility of the area, it was still a wonderful stay.

The location of the restaurant where the the brekfast and dinner is served was great! Loved to have dinner there. The location is great if what you look for is diving, as is a few minutes by boat front the Japanese boats, which gurantee (at least in my case) to have the boats just for you and not find other dive groups which come from Coron. The area in general is gorgeous, just the boat ride from Coron to the hotel is a pleasure. The dive center and dive master were great as well, only think I missed, as we are speaking about a resort, is to have some more snacks or drinks into the boat.

There were no water in our room during whole first day and all the mornings, as fas as I understood, due to the lack of rains in the last weeks. The hotel is great if you are a diver, but if you are not, as the case of my partner, there is no much to do, as the beach is not great for swimming.

The dive resort is in a beautiful location with stunning views and the dives I did were extremely interesting with the option of reef dives teaming with life or Japanese Ships from WW2. The resort is full of lush green bush and the reef is protected around the resort which makes excellent diving and snorkeling.My room was lovely and comfortable with an amazing view. The restaurant offered delicious food and the buffet meals in the evening had so much variety and cooked to a high standard.It was easy and reasonable to arrange a boat to the island through the resort.

Nothing. Excellent place.

Location was stunning. And perfect for all the dive spots close by. The staff were super friendly and made the effort to ensure we had a great holiday.

We stayed 2 nights, but would have loved to be there for an extra night or two to be able to do more dives and more exploring of the area.

The location is ideal for wreck diving. The resort is nestled in a cove overlooking a beautiful bay. Dive operation is professional and the dive master, Naome is lovely. The staff are halpful and the food was very good.

If you are dependent on wifi, the rooms don't have it. But you can go the the bar or dining area for connectivity. Also, electric power is available from 5 pm to 7am only.

The fact that it is secluded and our daily rhythm. The staff is just amazingly nice.

nothing really. Just don’t go there if you need a real social night life.

Beautiful environment Nice diving spot

The room was barely cleaned.During the three-day stay, there was no water for two days because the upstream pond was blocked. Couldn't sleep because the nearby village was too noisy.Extra fee for the transportation.Also, I feel like the owner doesn't want to run the resort anymore?

the house reef is just amazing. you can kayak to a tiny nearby island and kayak for 100s of meters in many direction, huge beautiful corals and it feels as if you are swimming in a fish tank.on the resort there are also some large lizards which are a must see. they have a dedicated scuba diving centre with 2 instructors. Noemi was extremely attentive and great with us on our reef dives. the reefs and different ship wracks are all around you in a short boat ride away. the owner is a lovely guy and really hands on and the support staff are all extremely friendly and dinners and breakfasts are super tasty and healthy.. ;) can’t recommend this resort enough! you must experience it!

What a beautiful place. Nature pure and no stress. The housereef is verry nice with a lot of corals and fish. This is a perfect place for relaxing and to forget aour stressful work at home. Perfekt. We will come back.

At the beginning the cold shower but we understand, that to protect the nature, we need not all luxes like at home. The luxus on this island is the beauiful place where you forgot the time.

the workers were hospitable and friendly.

far from the tours, the room was hot and the air conditioner wasn’t working, and the owner was so rude!
