    Lovely boutique hotel right in front of Apo Island!

    The rooms are modern, spacious and lovely :). The food was nice, the swimming pool is big and with a deep side. We appreciated the additional touch of providing wooden (and not plastic!) toothbrushes to guests :). Something we can actually keep using. We also loved the black sand beach with hammocks and sun beds which is accessible right from the hotel! Apo Island is right in front of the hotel, a convenient short boat ride away. Wonderful place for snorkeling and scuba diving. The staff was very nice. We highly recommend Mahi Mahi to future travelers!

    Let me tell you, this is a gorgeous Hotel and we would definitely recommend it. We went there for some relaxing days and diving around Apo Island. First of all the whole staff is so kind and tries to serve you as good as it gets. It's really clean, with nice rooms and the Dive Center is inside the hotel. The offered food is a mix of domestic and international dishes, as a vegetarian you get an extra menu and everything tastes great. Ok, the hotel is a bit outside of town and you have to take a dusty road full of Palm Trees from the main road to get there, but if you want to hang out and relax it's the perfect place. So if you want to have a great time with some fun dives with great people we can highly recommend this place!

    Transportation into town wasn't cheap but limited public transport means you need to buy stuff you need coming in from the airport.

    Friendly staff,. great.food, large clean and comfortable rooms with amenities. Swimming pool is great after a dive. Went during monsoon season so the sea was a little rough with high winds but otherwise, dive operation was excellent

    The dive gear could have been a little bit better maintained but was safe and functional.

    The tame dogs were our kid‘s favourite. They accommodated all our special wishes and even made two diving days at Apo possible just for our family. Great selection of tasty food in the restaurant - also for kids.

    unfortunately for the price i would have loved to be able to sleep :) no curtains so the daylight comes in early and wakes you up + they have dogs that will bark all night long it is very disturbing. it is impossible to sleep after 6:30am so for the price not good. the dogs are also very present they want your food so they spend all your meals with you and they do not smell good so good luck eating with a smelly dog on you (if you’re afraid of dogs like me do not book there.)

    it was very clean, the restaurant served good food and the view on the sea is very nice.

    Location is far from everything, so good for 1 or 2 nights to see Apo Island. They ordered the taxi at the wrong time, an appology would have been appropriate.

    Nice room, spacious. Good pool and nice chairs at the beach. We did a great tour to Apo Island, with a packed lunch. Food was good, but a bit more expensive then at other places. Had a great massage at a lovely location!

    The Location was great for visitors with private vehicles, very isolated, and the roadway was very narrow passing by farms and houses, the you will miss the Sign of the Resort as it was not visible from the hightway, We passed by it several times when we went to the city center.

    the place was great very cozy

    The location is a bit isolated, but for a couple looking for isolation, it was perfect..

    It was a very enjoyable experience, the staff was great but the owners were especially accommodating , going out of their way to take me diving, and after I develop a case of divers ear, they gave me medication to treat the infection..Mahi Mahi is a small but very delightful resort, from the dive boat to the kitchen, everything was well thought out and the food was delicious..I will go again and can't recommend Mahi Mahi ,.. enough..

    It took me a thousand and three hundred pesos to get there by motorcycle from Sibulan port. You should ask resort to call you a car and that will be more comfortable!

    They helped me arrange a tour to Apo island. It was really a nice day. The room was clean and cozy, and the dinner there also good!

    The dogs. They bark constantly and beg for food when you're eating. One dog on the next property was barking well into the night non-stop. I don't get why they have them, they're more annoying than endearing and I love dogs. My only complaint. Oh and the internet isn't great.

    Everything! Room was clean and comfortable, great food, very helpful and friendly staff, and incredible diving!

    very clean and relaxing. they have dive trips to Apo for the two days I stayed. I went on the first one and it was amazing. food was also good and reasonably priced with big portions. drinks were also good.

    In general, I think Mahi Mahi reaches the ceiling of a resort in the world (from a person who travels to over 15 countries and zones). It could fit in all the imagination of a resort that you could have. I will definitely go back there again. 1. Hospitality - Everyone would say hi to you with a big genuine smile, 'Hi Sir~' 😊 is the most common word I heard there. - Helped to check out everything with Aplipay when I don't have enough cash (which really rescued my holidays) - Delivered all the requirements I had with patients all the time: e.g. helped to book a boutique 🌹 for me so I could propose secretly and surprise my fiance 2. Amazing view with an amazing price - The resort itself is a modern designed place and can easily stand out from other resorts in the Philippines - LOVE THE VIEW OF APO 🐢 🪸 🐟on both sunny and cloudy and rainy days - Even tho the price of food&Diving is slightly more expensive than in the town (Dumaguete), the quality is much better, even better than most of the popular restaurants in Panglao (Bohol) 3. SEA TOUR (Snorkeling, Diving or just laying on the beach) - A private boat that could take you to the diving spots (where you can see all the coral reefs SUPER clearly even that they are 10-20m deep) - NO ONE SELLS YOU ANY DAY TOUR (I went to Bohol later and it was so annoying that everyone sells and bothers you for their day tour) - 👏RELIABLE GUIDE (Talked me through and practice with me in the resort pool before I start diving) - 🥹RELIABLE GUIDE (calmed me down 10m under the ocean when I got panicked) - 👍RELIABLE GUIDE (who took our packed lunch for us even when we forgot) 4. Day Tour - We went to Valencia and saw the most incredible natural hot gas view with some amazing waterfalls 5. LGBTQ Friendly 🌈 There are so many things I want to write it down there...I just love there and it definitely gave me the best experience I ever had when I'm travelling around the world.
