Atlantis Dive Resort Dumaguete

The Atlantis resort needs more than 5 stars. Top to bottom the staff is amazing, resort is beautiful and food is great. The diving here is second to none, absolutely amazing. We dove with the dive master Harnold and words cannot describe how amazing he was this week. Super knowledgeable, very friendly and kept us laughing the entire week. His ability to find nearly microscopic creatures was a sight to behold. Upon arrival, everyone knows your name and you are treated like loyalty by all. It was our second visit to this resort and certainly we will return! I highly recommend this place to all divers!!!

PRE-Trip: Reservation team were the most outstanding communicators I’ve experienced in 30 years of dive trip planning. Timely, concise, and on point. (Jacky, Mench, Emily, Maribel: You ROCK!). DIVE TEAM: Very professional, friendly, and over-the-top helpful. Dive Master Cyrus took incredibly good care of us - we’ll be recommending him by name to our friends that plan to travel here soon. The other DMs were fantastic too, we just got very attached to ours (Cyrus). Great dive briefings, accompanied by hand painted maps of the sites (delightfully professional). And as with any well-run organization, we also noticed that the DMs have a POD mtg every morning (Plan Of The Day). DIVE SHOP/GEAR AREA & CAMERA ROOM: They obviously took great care in laying out the arrangements for divers. From where and how you store your gear to dry in between dives, to the benches laying out, to the awesome camera room, this is exactly our kind of place (a divers paradise resort!). DIVING: I wanted to see new and different things, and my mission was accomplished. Multi-colors of feather stars, sea horses, octopus, giant turtles, vibrantly colored fish, ETC! FOOD/RESTAURANT PERSONNEL: Food was outstanding. More over-the-top friendly and helpful staff. Chef was a good sport about my continual special orders. Annie, Tim, Allieta, and King (Bar), and others: Thank you for taking such good care of us. RESORT: Beautifully appointed. Very peaceful and quiet location. EXCURSIONS: Apo Island trip was a treat. They bbq the meats on board and lunch was waiting for us in between dives. Here again, the best on-a-dive-boat-lunch we’ve ever experienced. And then some fine ladies of Apo Island rowed to our boat and boarded to present their wares for sale. Talk about luxury service! We also did the whale shark excursion. Recommend doing this on a week day as it’s a bit of tourist attraction. The Atlantis team was very professional about giving us a PRE-trip briefing the afternoon before (what to expect, timing, what to and not to do, like no sunscreen). Brilliantly carried out. And another chef-cooked meal waiting for us after swimming with the whale sharks (DEluxe!). RESORT MGMT: Joseph (Resort Mgr), Cedric (Asst Mgr) and Albert (Wait Staff Mgr) were very attentive to us. They made my birthday very special. We also lucked out in getting to meet CEO Steve who was on site during our trip.

12 days and 11 nights of genuine, kind, consistent impeccable customer service‼️Our scuba dive team, based in FL, but from several states encountered the most amazing personnel during our stay. The dive masters and their support team, all went above and beyond for our safety and joyful diving experience! If weather wasn't conducive to diving, we were invited to classroom presentations by the dive masters on the sea life. They were very informative! It's exciting to witness their brilliance and uniqueness but to also learn their life span, habits, etc elevates the diving experience. The restaurant, bar, spa, housekeeping, transportation, dive shop, landscaping, office..... are all staffed with professionals!! We were treated with impeccable service!

Amazing! Resort was great. Rooms were clean and modern. Staff called everyone by name. Diving was close and always a pleasure. Liveaboard was also a great experience. Staff just a great as the resort. Dives were amazing. Food was amazing both in the resort and aboard the liveaboard. Really - not a single complaint.

This is the top of the top. This is a resort where you will leave crying as theu will offer you so much you won't believe it. The restaurant is providing a la carte menu that is different every day. The mango cocktail is recommended. The accommodation is clean, tidy, cool, quiet. The diving (macro) is just superb. The guides are skilled and so dedicated.
