    Not the best of beaches as full of seaweed and quite rocky. Although all inclusive, very limited food options ( breakfast, lunch and dinner). Happy hours could be longer.

    Exotic and beautiful location/scenery. Breathtaking. Amazing atmosphere. Beautiful tree houses! Staff are great. Snorkeling ok. Scuba diving fantastic!

    Didn’t love that there was no hot water in the rooms. Made showering quite a mission. Also didn’t like how expensive the drinks on the island were, it is double that of what you can get in town.

    The view from our room and the diving were incredible. Complete paradise on the island. The staff were also exceptional.

    Paddle boards and kayaks should be free of charge, not an extra cost. Wifi should be available throughout the resort and nit just at the restaurant and reception.

    The resort was an a beautiful island and the snorkeling from the beach was good. Meals were provided and were philipino, which was great. Recommend adding more snacks as I am a diver it would be nice to have a small snack between dives.

    a week's stay in the last bungalow on the beach, simple accommodation but simply wonderful to fall asleep lulled by the sound of the sea. resort dedicated exclusively to divers. good offer of island hopping tours. note : the bungalow had no air conditioning but we survived anyway.

    We stayed for 3 nights in January 2024. From the transfer from the airport via taxi and speedboat pulling up to this gorgeous island, through to great dive instructors (Jazz and Gabriel) and dive spots, this place was fantastic. Definitely recommend for those looking for quiet remote island life with such easy access to good varied dives, great quality full board food and spotting wildlife as well- we saw monkeys and a hornbill! The dives themselves included WW2 shipwrecks and multiple reefs and night diving which was a first for us! Esther in the restaurant, Tom at the dive shop, Asma on reception and all the other staff were so friendly and made our stay so memorable thank you! We are so glad we opted for this over coron town for the majority of our time in coron (we did 1 night in town at the end which was much more bustly, still fun but more lively!). We were able to take the day tour to coron island from Sangat resort as well (and they let us take our luggage and dropped us to our next stop in coron town on their way home too which was a touch). We would love to return so hope to be back again some day! Thank you Sangat

    This hotel is a magic place. Hidden from the world - not easy to get there ;) We were enchanted from the first moment. Beautyful beach with the coral reef everywhere around. Many diving spots in the area and great dive center team! Good restaurant. I would really like to come back

    The dining room ran out of main course and side item options several times, leaving guests to fill up on salad and rice. Needs better organization and servers to portion out meals until everyone has been served. No excuse for running out of main course when there is only one option.

    The snorkeling was excellent. Beautiful coral gardens just off the beach from your nipa hut. Pass Island tour was also very nice and included snorkeling a gunboat wreck from World War II.

    The internet access was terrible. Would have liked a curated seminar on the marine life or coral reef that we were exploring. The dive-shop personnel are excellent with the technical aspects of diving but less informed on marine life. Even a few youtube videos specific to this island providing knowledge about the reefs, the area, the typical life we would explore. Provide a plastic fish chart.

    The service staff was fantastic, providing custom meals as needed. The facilities are always clean. The activities are easy to access and schedule. The remote, quiet atmosphere exceeded our expectations.

    I really need to scratch my head to find something to improve... The huts are a bit old so do not expect a fancy place. The rental material (Kayaks and SUP) needs upgrade. The kitchen staff do not understand English so we got our orders lost or mixed up a few times.

    We booked that place for diving and I was very satisfied with its location right next to the wrecks. The resort took charge of us at the ferry and drove us to a small port, then a boat ride to the island. Same when we left. There is a very nice house reef for snorkeling or diving from the hotel. There are hammocks everywhere if you want to just read or chill and there is a pool table. There is WIFI connection and it works (only in the common area) We took kayaks and SUP to check out the nearby hot spring. the access was a bit difficult, but its a nice activity with the kids. The staff is nice and friendly. Thanks to Esther who took the time every day to check on how was our stay and take care of our many special food requests :-)

    I am always hungry so meals and snacks could be bigger :). Nothing major - just personal preference

    Hotel is located on a beatiful private beach with coral reef 50m from the hotel. All houses are front beach and equipped with all you could expect in such a place. Staff is extremely nice, professional and helpful. You can arrange privatw tours at decent price.

    Diving: what is not to love about the close proximity to the wrecks. The onsite dive and support team, managed by Tom, were excellent. We also enjoyed shore diving the house reef, particularly for night dives. The location: beautiful natural surroundings and cheeky monkeys. The hotel property: all the buildings were simple, elegant and designed to compliment the natural environment. We particularly loved the hammocks underneath our bungalow which were perfect for a post diving reading/napping session. Food and drink: authentic Filipino food. We thought the meals were delicious and varied with most including a meat dish, a fish/seafood dish and a vegetable dish. Depending on the number of guests, meals were either served to your table or presented as a buffet. We also loved the cocktails... The staff also took note that hungry divers appreciate a snack between the 1st and 2nd dives which was the only thing we thought was missing. Hospitality: relaxed island vibes. All the staff were kind and welcoming. We also enjoyed chit-chatting with fellow guests over drinks. We recommend and would love to return.

    Breakfast ends early (at 09:00 am). Daily tours are very expensive. There is no too much variety for breakfast. There is little fish in number and variety in the corals in front of the resort. Most of the day time, it is liw-tide. And, the beach part of the sea (event some parts of coral reefs) is almost fully covered by sea weeds. Hence, the beach is not good to swim. There was no black tea served. Internet is very poor.

    The coral reefs are just in front of the Resort. The staff, particularly the manager of the restaurant, were very friendly.

    Sangat Island is a testament to the sustainability of life. Not only in terms of achieving 80% of self-generated water and power required for the island's needs. But to be at the best front row seat of mother nature's greatest show on earth. The serenity of the place, the familial feel of sincere staffers and the simplicity of farm to table dining. Diving and snorkeling the beautiful under water landscapes together with the most beautiful creatures of the sea is awe inspiring.
