Lalaguna Villas Luxury Dive Resort and Spa

We were only planning to stay 4 nights and due to Typhoon Carina, we had to extend our stay one more night since the ferry service from Port Baletero to Batangas City got canceled. Anne, the front desk supervisor, was very helpful and gave us similar rate to the Booking . com rate. We had 2 rooms reserved: the premium suite and a standard room for our daughter. The premium suite was spacious and had a large balcony with sea view. The standard room is in the older building & had a small kitchenette. We had to switch room on our 2nd day since the bathroom had foul odor that didn’t go away after maintenance took care of it. The resort had a restaurant/bar and the prices are on the high side compared to the other restaurants in the area. The Chef was accommodating to my special requests. They offer happy hour from 5-7 pm. Cocktails and wine are 25 percent off. Our primary reason for visiting Mindoro and staying in this resort was for scuba diving. They have state of the art equipment. It rained during most of our stay. I only had 1 dive per day during the morning. My husband and daughter dove twice a day. The resort location is close to town which is convenient. The staff were very nice, helpful, and friendly. They were also very responsive to my inquiry prior to arriving at the resort. It was our first time in Mindoro and figuring out the transportation options was a challenge. Overall, we enjoyed our 5 nights stay in this resort at the end of July.

The staff were friendly, helpful and very attentive. The rooms were large, clean, comfortable and had great views. The food and drink were great and the pool was lovely after a day in the sun and sea. The location was great, right on the beach and you could swim 2m or so from the steps up to the lobby area. I saw a turtle while snorkeling around 50m from the hotel! The tv in the room had loads of tv and films including some very up to date titles (I put this last as it isn't as important as some other details but it was nice to chill in the room on occasion with a good film!). Can't over hype Lalaguna Villas enough! If you are a diver or an aspiring diver this place is epic. I would love to go back and do a full diving course with them but just as a freediver doing my own thing or snorkelling with the family it was amazing!

From the first contact the staff were wonderful, organising transport from Manila. Upon arrival to LLV first impression was awesome. I had booked PADI dive courses the reason for my trip. Very well organised and professional a special mention to my wonderful instructor Jha, thank you for your patience and skills taught and also thanks for all involved in the dive shop all there to make your diving experience the best and another thanks to the great boat skippers getting us out to dive site and back again. Great dive shop both at LLV aswell as their shop in Sabang. Very clean well organised resort, nothing was to much trouble for the staff. Great location with less than 10min walk to Sabang, dive boat at the doorstep, and the awesome staff both local and expats, very welcoming. Overall had great time both in resort and the awesome diving. As this was my first diving experience it was a great introduction. I would definitely stay here again and recommend this resort if just relaxing or seeking a dive experience. Once again thankyou all for your hospitality. 5✨️

The team was impressive, cheerful, and friendly. Excellent caring service. Excellent food and drinks to enjoy between dives. Excellent dive shop, professional dive masters/instructors that took good care of us. Good and well-maintained dive equipment. The dive boat crew was good and caring too. Though we couldn't go to Verde Island due to the weather, they arranged a one-on-one dive at the Canyons, which was the most remarkable dive there for us. Obviously, sitting around good dive sites also contributed to our enjoyable experience in this resort. Room was well-equipped, clean, and spacious. Life was easy during our stay.

The resort itself is magnificent. Wonderful location and just a walking distance from Sabang PG. All the staff are friendly, helpful and caring to my family. They help us to organise all the transportation on the way to PG and back to Batangas. The foods they serving in the restaurant is top class. It’s a very safe place for my children. Very family friendly.
