Hotel in Puerto Galera
The best place to stay at is Blue Ribbon Divers, in Big La Laguna beach.
The name says it all, sign of excellence! The location is perfect: beautiful beach, central to all the dive sites, you even have time to come back for a coffee during surface intervals!
The owners are incredibly attent to the costumers, who end up leaving as friends.
The food is absolutely delicious; especially there theme nights; Indian night, Barbecue night, Thai night; you name it; they master the art of cooking. Quality Food, with a good sense for detail. For the big eaters, its great, because its All you can eat!
This is a place where during a life concert, you end up on stage with the owner singing “Let it be” from the Beatles. This is a place where enjoying life, sharing and the fun and friendly club house dive style life, still means something. Here you can acctually still exchange something more than just money for service. Here, you truely arrive as a client or a student and leave as a friend. Thank you Jon and Kelvin for making our stay in Sabang so rich and cheerful!
