Absolutely loved this place. The only issue we had was that food we had for our evening meal was not great. We ate there on our first night and it wasn’t great. We ate again on our second night thinking it must be better but it wasn’t. Our third night we decided to venture out for dinner and ate at a place very close called Soga and the food there was so good. Apart from that the hotel and staff were amazing and I would definitely return
The sanctuary just in front of the beach property was outstanding. However, they didn’t have life vests available for snorkeling.
The dive staff was kind enough to lend a life ring in lieu of the vest though. All good.
We had a great three nights at Pura Vida. Beautiful property with perfectly manucured gardens and excellent accommodations. The buffet breakfast was lovely with a different theme everyday. The resort is a short walk to a marine sanctuary that had some of the best snorkeling we've done in the Philippines. Highly recommended this resort. Wonderful helpful staff as well.
Room (Stargazer) was clean and bed was comfortable. It’s on the top of 2 smaller rooms below. So it does have stairs. It had a mini fridge and a big porch with a table/chairs and lounge chairs.
Food was good that we had. If you can’t eat it all the kitchen will wrap for you and keep it in their fridge and you can have them reheat it for lunch the next day.
Breakfast has a decent buffet with a different theme each morning.
Grounds were clean and we enjoyed the cushioned sun loungers and that there were 2 different adult pools and 1 kids pool.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Experience from Top to Bottom.
Pura Vida Dive Resort delivers on every level. What sets this property apart is not just the beautiful setting or quality amenities — it’s the team. From arrival to departure, every single person contributed to an outstanding stay.
✨ Team Excellence Across the Board
This is a property where every role matters and every team member shines. The gardener ensures the grounds are immaculate and welcoming. The restaurant staff serve with genuine care and attentiveness. Reception made check-in and check-out effortless. The spa team provided professional, restorative experiences. Every interaction felt personal, respectful, and consistently excellent.
🤿 Diving Department — World Class
The dive team is a key reason Pura Vida stands out. Highly professional, well-organized, safety-oriented, and deeply knowledgeable about the local underwater world — they elevated the entire diving experience. Whether you’re new to diving or a seasoned pro, this team delivers.
Overall, Pura Vida Dive Resort is more than a hotel — it’s a community of professionals proud of their craft. Every part of the operation works in harmony to create an unforgettable stay.
Highly recommended for travelers who value exceptional service, genuine hospitality, and a top-tier dive program.

Not a 4/5 star resort.
This resort is fine, but has neither the facility nor the staff to be considered four or five stars. As such, it is overpriced.
Pros: Location is beautiful and the grounds are well tended. The food, though extremely limited, is good. The staff are gracious.
Cons: Meager breakfast options with no a la carte menu, limited dinner menu and you must order before 5p. No room service. No pool-side service. No 24hr service. Running water failed twice during my 3-day visit (zero water pressure to the entire facility). Pool towels not stocked or refreshed. Architecture is motel-style with public walkway and entrance outside of the window, so you have to choose between privacy and daylight. Older, dark decide and fixtures not meeting the high standards of a 4-star property.
Helt fantastisk boende. Vi var d är på dykresa. All personal på dykcentret, receptionen, restaurangen, barerna och städningen är så trevliga och gästvänliga. Finns ingenting att anmärka på. Vi kommer tillbaka.
Een van de betere resorts van Dauin. Resort heeft 3 zwembaden. Kamers: van mooie bamboehutjes tot stenen bungalows vlakbij en aan het strand. Verschillende bars. Groot restautant. Alles wordt zeer schoon gehouden
Eigenaar is Zwitser ( gezien de Zwitserse vlag).
Prachtig resort met strand aan zee met verschilende zwembaden. Leuke vakantiehuisjes van mooi bamboe.
Jammer dat er bij binnenkomst geen flesje water op de kamer stond..

relaxing resort, dive centre good value and helpful, spacious rooms.
Good meals at the restaurant. Jacuzzi not working in either available room. could be more lounges and the pool is small.
Had a great time. Beautiful, safe, and quiet location. They arrange diving, and snorkeling tours directly at the resort. Gear rental and even certification done on site. Guides were really friendly and helpful.
The stay was amazing & the service impeccable. The staff was exceptionally helpful & the food is great. Shoutout to the ladies at the bar for taking good care of us & making espresso martini when we shared how to make it.
