Delicious Meals

The food served was simply amazing! I particularly enjoyed the red curry with shrimp, which was one of the many options available at the restaurant. The meals were consistently delicious, and everything was cooked to order. I couldn't resist trying out all the different dishes during my stay.

Really good Diving Experience

The diving facilities were great! I had some of the best dives of my life at Apo Island. The dive site was amazing, with vibrant corals and an abundance of underwater life. I really appreciated the equipment rental, which was in great condition, and the dedicated dive masters helped ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

Peaceful Relaxation

I loved the tranquil environment of the resort. The gardens were beautifully landscaped with lots of flowering plants, providing a serene setting to unwind after a day of diving. There were plenty of lounge chairs around the hotel for relaxing with a book or enjoying the gentle sea breeze.

I had a great time at this beachfront resort, which is perfectly situated right across from Apo Island. The rooms were clean and spacious, featuring a lovely balcony with a beautiful sea view. However, the resort lacks proper security measures, which is a significant downside. The staff is helpful, and the amenities like the swimming pool add to the experience, but there are restrictions on pool hours that could be improved.

Wellbeach Dive Resort is a true gem! I had an unforgettable stay with stunning diving spots and a serene beach that felt like paradise. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the staff treated us like family. However, the beach is quite rocky, so water shoes are a must for swimming. The dining options were fantastic, but a bit too tempting to resist! Overall, it's a wonderful choice for both relaxation and diving enthusiasts.
