A Quick and Quiet Weekend in Exclusive Resort”
I had been to White Beach a few times a decade ago and had always found it to be too crowded and noisy. Therefore, I had long shunned Puerto Galera as a vacation destination. However, this weekend trip to Monkey Beach Dive Resort was a revelation - that I was basically ignorant of the best that Puerto Galera had to offer. Found on Sabang, MBDR (along with sister propert Verde View Villas) sits on a hill with a commanding view of the coast of Batangas and islands in between. It is isolated from the pier and town proper, but made convenient with the free transport provided by the resort. MBDR has 5 rooms. Though basic in design, what stands out are the extremely beautiful views and the high quality creature comforts inside the rooms (Apple TV, good wifi, large comfy bed, large bathroom, etc.). The pool is so scenic and perfect for a dip! Food quality is above average, but I think slightly expensive. This is not a place for budget travelers, so be warned.

A Flawless Stay - Best in Puerto Galera!!!”
Wow! My Husband and I stayed at Monkey Beach Dive Resort at Puerto Galera and had an amazing time. Our pick up and transfer from the city of Makati to the island was well organized and ran smoothly. Arriving in a welcome committee of singers, beautiful smiles and drinks were a wonderful start to our stay there. The hotel’s private beach is stunning - we took the most amazing photos there!! The water is so crystal clear and blue. We spent many happy hours there enjoying cocktails by the pool with a stunning view. The service at the pool was very prompt and attentive. They were helpful and friendly. The food at the resort is truly excellent. We ate an exquisite seafood platter and make a personalized choice too. Beautiful quality food and not expensive compared to prices in Singapore. We also loved how quiet and birds sound in morning.Sunset and Sunrise always great location in our room. Also, a special mention for housekeeping who kept special touch in the room for us one day! Such a sweet gesture which we really enjoyed. We had a lovely spacious room facing with ocean view, superb and stunning. A truly wonderful stay. I look forward to returning!

Outstanding. Our new favourite hotel in the area.”
We've been to Sabang and PG many times and stayed in most of the hotels at the mid & upper end of the market. Monkey Beach is definitely our new favorite hotel. The staff are outstanding, best service, nothing is too much trouble. 10/10 thankyou for making our stay so comfortable. Don't know why it's called a Dive Resort... There is no Dive Shop here or any instructors. Don't let the location put you off - no, it's not on the beach in Sabang or Small La Laguna, but there is a free car shuttle service into Sabang every day, or you can jump on the back of a motorbike for 40pesos. We stayed 2 times in November & December, in Villa 5 and Villa 6. Both are excellent rooms with very comfortable beds, fine linen, big TV (with Apple TV and lots of movies), very fast internet (was over 35MB most of the time, the best we've encountered in the area). Beautiful views. We stayed over a week and ate at the hotel most breakfast & dinners, the menu is varied and excellent quality.

Our stay at Monkey Beach was an amazing experience! A relaxing paradise away from the crowded streets of Sabang yet within short, convenient, distance of it. The resort itself is stunning with gorgeous gardens throughout which made it a pleasure to roam around, explore, and relax in the immaculately clean pool that always seemed to be the perfect temperature wether you wanted to cool off in the middle of the day or luxuriate under the stars at night. With views over the ocean and jungle and a rooftop terrace to view sunsets from it was the perfect peaceful getaway. The resort restaurant had a varied and delicious menu—with lots of hearty breakfast options! We stayed in Villa 4 which was comfortable and spacious for our week of diving and working remotely. The bed was huge and comfortable, the shower warm, and the air conditioner strong. The wifi worked perfectly and the TV in the room had an extensive catalogue of movies and TV shows available to watch.

I loved this quiet and romantic place It was 5 minutes by motorcycle from the crowd of tourists in the sabang beach. The room was very clean ,Large bathroom, Fast WI FI, Apple TV 4K , the ocean view is fantastic. The staff and owner exceptionally pleasant and accommodating. The food was extremely high quality....very exceptional. *My only note : There is no wardrobe and refrigerator in the room in my time! Will definitely stay at Monkey Beach Dive Resort again.

Great place to stay, we felt like Family. The staff is very helpful and responsive to every request. The view is Amazing from Sunrise in the morning to Sunset in the afternoon. This is a clean and peaceful place to stay, the best in Puerto Galera! We really enjoyed the snorkeling at Monkey Beach and discovering new place and experiences around Puerto Galera. We will be back.

Jo-Ann, Thank you so much for your visit. You are correct just like Family. We look forward to you and your family return always to our place. We wish you could move in with us forever! :) Thank you again. VVV Team
One word: AMAZING”
Amazing, amazing resort. MBDR was very clean and well maintained. Location was up the hill which gave you a great view of the island, also away from the crowd so it’ quieter. There’s also a small private beach. Staff service was better than most 5-star hotels I’ve been to. They surpassed all expectations, and went the extra mile to make our already comfortable selves even more comfortable. They were extremely attentive and accommodating. Could not have asked for more! Would definitely recommend to all friends and family visiting Puerto Galera. Would definitely come back soon.

Exceptional views, staff and relaxation ”
The resort is located up the hill from Sabang - 5 min by motorcycle. The view is fantastic! Watching the sunset from the roof is thoroughly recommended. It is a calm and relaxing environment and the management and staff are exceptional. Meann and her crew (Deng and Jam) are without equal in ensuring their guests are looked after. They are warm and genuine and a little bit cheeky and our holiday experience was all the better for having them around. The food here is also very good and step up from standard Sabang fare. The house Beach is a step climb of 200 steps but the snorkeling there is excellent. In fact the reef there is a popular dive site and well worth the effort. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle this is the place for you.

Great stay!!”
Easy booking. Met at the pier by VVV staff and shown to the resort. Cold drink on arrival then to my room. Very clean with nice bedding. Quick rest then ordered lunch from the ample menu. Nice restaurant with the most friendly staff. Then a swim in their super clean pool and reading under the shade poolside. Down to Monkey Beach for some snorkelling in the warm water of the ocean. Coral and tropical fish abound a short distance from shore. Explored the local village and enjoyed the views as you walk the area. Another great meal then the hi light of the evening was the awesome sunset right from the terrace in front of your room. Cool drink in hand as the sun goes down over the ocean. This is a must see. Early night for us after catching up with friends with the strong WiFi. Power is guaranteed with solar and generator. Check out the entertainment on the TV with access to over 4000 movies. Quiet aircon and nice bedding made for a restfull sleep. Up early to see the sun come up then a hearty breakfast before heading out to Manila then home. Will be staying here again on our next trip and will take our scuba courses then. In short a nice quiet spot with service being number one.

Great!!!!”
We have been going to Puerto Galera for 20 years already. This was the best experience we had so far. The hotel is beautifully located on a cliff with great views all around. Food is excellent. And the staff are the best. Meann, Faye( my old friend), Kay and the others were all very helpful, cheerful and efficient. Well done. We will definitely be back. Great Value for money. Thanks Anthony.

Paradise”
The only downside to this paradise is the road getting there. Only part of the road is done while they are still doing construction in other areas (we were even stranded one afternoon because they had to close the road to get to Sabang)! Upon arriving, however, that's when it felt like our vacation truly started! We were greeted by name even before we introduced ourselves, so they were already expecting us. We had the very tasty welcome drinks while we signed papers and were waiting for a mechanic to replace our car battery (lucky for us we made it to our destination before it decided to die). The staff quickly called for a mechanic to come over so we didn't waste much time waiting and worrying. The food was amazing even the ostrich steak which I never thought I'd try. We were told a plate was enough for one person so my husband and I ordered different foods and shared but everytime we left the table stuffed! A few times we had eaten from our balcony and the women were always so kind to deliver and clean up. The view from our villa every morning and just before sunset was worth what we paid for! And even better was the view from the rooftop! We spent a glorious day on the private beach which took some effort getting to as the concrete steps were only partially completed and the wat was rather steep. By the time we made it down to the beach, my quads were quivering for most of the morning! And on our way back up, we had to stop after every twenty steps to catch our breath! My legs were sore for three days but it felt good! While my husband snorkeled and saw some beautiful fish (he found Nemo!), I went hunting for shells and rocks. We even saw a starfish! Lastly, we would like to applaud the staff for being very kind, hospitable, welcoming and caring! If we needed medicine, they were worried and went out if their way to get medicine at the pharmacy in the other town! When we needed beach gear, they brought it to us and even carried it down to the beach and back up to

Epitome of awesome customer service”
First the service we received from th staff was epic, they have awesome customer service from when you enter to when you leave, i was thinking twice about staying in sabang but it was awesome that I stayed at your resort. Love the view and the room, worth the price. Only thing I would suggest is to add a refrigerator, but i would give you a 5/5 stars no matter what. Thank you for the warm hospitality and the awesome staff and a beautiful weekend! Hope to visit again soon

Secluded retreat with attentive staff”
The most memorable part of my stay was the staff that worked there. For the price I paid for the hotel room, I would have thought I was staying at a five-star hotel. From the moment I walked in, everybody greeted me by name. My room was located in the back facing the ocean. The hotel is located far from the main strip of restaurants and bars so you are limited on what you can do unless you get dropped off by car service. You get 1 roundtrip ride a day. The service at the restaurant was great, but the food was not that good. The tours are pricey. 2,700 php just for a boat to take you out and 600 php for a guide that will take you to a cave, coral garden, fish feeding, and an unremarkable beach for more snorkeling. I would skip the beach. Their private beach is sufficient for more snorkeling. I wish most of tour was spent in the coral garden not that beach.The clam was unimpressive from a distance. For nightlife, it would be best to leave the hotel and have them drop you off elsewhere.

Excellent food and very accommodating staff”
We stayed at the resort for 3 days and 2 nights and we are definitely going back! The staff are so caring and attentive to our needs. The owner, Anthony, is very friendly and nice, too! The rooms are so spacious and the view at the pool area is breathtaking! We tried all the seafoods in the menu each day and they even customized a meal for my husband and me based on the fresh catch of the day. They have an exclusive beach front and it is the best resort when you want privacy. The service is also so personal that we felt truly at home! Thank you for making our stay superb, we had a wonderful experience! We will definitely recommend your place to our friends and relatives! ❤️

Thank you Daiza for your wonderful review, We try hard always to make sure everyone who visits is treated like family and has a wonderful unique experience. Our ocean front access is being upgraded to make it even better for night time visits. Trekking through the jungle at night, camp fires, Karaoke. Life is Awesome!
Excellent place, great staff”
Very nice and quiet little resort. Great views of both sides of the peninsula. Small but nice and clean pool. Slightly pricy but excellent restaurant. Very good rooms with aircon, spacious, clean, excellent beds, good bathroom, private terrace. Staff is simply terrific, friendly and helpful, always with a smile without being submissive, perfect. No access to the beach, hopefully that problem will be solved by the time we go again.

Outstanding Service”
Everything has been handled smoothly for the staff, from the coordination of my transportation, to checking-in, stay... They helped me out to book my dives, book my boat ticket, travel in and out of the hotel... The staff made me feel like home and the owner was very friendly and keen to share his experience and knowledge of the Country. I really recommend this place.

This is the second time I stay at Anthony's property and it was as perfect as last time. Amazing service, excellent food, great rooms and incredible scenery. Will come here as many times as my agenda allows me to., especially once the dive shop opens.

Thank you Inigo and Team. What a good time it was indeed. I believe you were our biggest group of people to date. Our steps to the ocean are about complete and we will be working for dive operations soon. In the meantime. Eat, Drink and Enjoy Always. We have also just acquired the house and property next door to us overlooking the ocean which is also an ideal location for small private parties as well. Cheers Anthony
Nice staff and quiet location”
The staff is very helpful and nice. Check-in was easy and they provide shuttle service to Sabang for free for the first time of the day and 300 Peso/trip additionally. The room lacks of furniture, which is a bit inconvenient. There is no closet or dustbin in the room, nor fridge. There is no hair dryer.
