    The "1/2 day snorkelling trip" organised through the hotel with a local boat operator, was around an hour and a half long at most and the spots visited weren't nearly as good as the island hopping tourl which was on one of the hotles own boats.

    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!

    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.

    I was trying hard to think of something, but there is nothing to complain about

    Everything was just great: the hotel itself, clean and comfy room, delicious food, top notch dive shop, last but not least - staff is amazing! Great atmosphere and you are being looked after whatever help you need.

    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✨️

    This is an excellent hotel on a number of levels. It's on the beach of course - so handy for diving etc. The staff is first class. The food is fab. The facilities- now with a new gym/fitness suite - are all excellent. There's a pool table in the bar/cafe - free of charge. The swimming pool is also lovely - both for swimmers and learner divers. The service privided by the staff s like what you get at Singapore Raffles. There's free hot and cold water in the rooms. The rooms themselves are excellent. Fab shower. Comfy bed etc. In summary, if you're staying in Sabang then LLV is as good as it gets I've stayed here a good few times and it gets better and better every year.

    The good at the resort was first class. The whole place exceeded my expectations. I am planning a return trip early next year with my family. My major reason was scuba diving which was good. The dive shop is probably the best shop with staff and assistance in diving I’ve ever used. Totally recommend

    It’s a bit of a walk to main area, about 750m, but that means it’s nice and quiet. Hotel is set around pool and climbs up the hill creating a bit of an amphitheater. Bar is next to pool and noise can drift up from there if people are rowdy ( although this only happened around dinner time, it was quiet during the night) There is no beach at Sabang, diving is the main focus, quite a small town but nice people. we didn’t dive but hired scooters and plenty to see around the area such as beautiful white beach

    well appointed, very comfortable beds, beautiful new renovation, a top class accommodation. A water dispenser provided in every room giving you fresh, pure cold water for drinking etc and hot water for tea and coffee. lovely pool to lounge around. Exceptionally food, we ate in every night, really top class food and chefs cooking. wonderful staff, thanks esp, Mitch, Mel and Ben

    Cant fault the hotel at all.

    Everything you need is there and the standard is excellent. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The two dive masters I dived with (Anto & Robert) were very knowledgeable and experienced. Also the dive sites are amazing. I’ll definitely be returning at some point to dive with the team again.
