Great experience ”
It’s a magical place! The food is amazing, even for a vegetarian. Everything was perfect. The one little thing is that they don’t tell you they charge quite a lot for kayaks so you just find out on your bill.

Exceptional”
This place is paradise! Go if you love diving/snorkelling and want to be off the grid. The diving is top notch here with several interesting wrecks close by, some even a few minutes powerboat away. We did our open water PADI course here with Chris the dive instructor who was really helpful, organised some great dives and was a good teacher. The food was seriously good and healthy. No air con in the rooms but there are fans and it’s quite cool next to the beach. The WiFi is probably the only thing to mention that wasn’t perfect however, if you don’t mind being off the grid for your stay. Overall we had a relaxing time and really amazing dives.

Paradise”
The staff are attentive, helpful and friendly without being overbearing. The island is beautiful with a stunning beach and beautiful reef for snorkelling. The dive instructors were helpful patient and fun. For divers there’s obviously a lot of choice to visit. Meals aren’t always traditional but there is great variety, healthy choices and even a lot of vegetarian choices. Can’t recommend enough. I live in the Philippines but have never felt so welcome and they accommodated my disabled mother without hesitation.

Best in class customer service and amazing food! ”
We love everything about Sangat Dive Resort! The experience was superb special mention to Kat and Marjo who was very accommodating and really explained well about the island, the resort and his very entertaining storytelling about everything! We felt welcome in the island since mostly are foreigners are checked-in here. Not much of locals which can be quite expensive. The food was amazing too, kudos to the Chef and team! The monkeys are very entertaining. Just be careful with your stuff. Marjo explained it well so luckily we did not lost any of our stuff. It's very secluded which I really like and it's a very clean resort. It's exotic too and you have the sense of privacy to relax. But I think something is missing here to make the people come back more... maybe you need to hire a community manager to make everyone feel that Sangat is their second home and they'll crave to come back very soon. Like a community of divers hidden paradise in Coron. But overall, it was great!

Hidden gem for divers”
Sangat Island Dive Resort is a diver’s paradise. It has as many as 11 shipwrecks around the island (ask resort for confirmation) and lots of coral reefs to explore, all within 20-minute boat ride. Each trip is only 1-1.5 hours with the dive itself 40-50 mins at 9am, 11am, and 2pm each day. You have enough time to come back to the resort for a break or a short meal before heading back out again for another dive. Personally I find that super relaxing and convenient. If you decide not to continue with another dive in the afternoon, you’re not suck on a boat getting sunburnt. Also, staff at Sangat is the best I’ve met in all the resorts I’ve been to (I go to resorts all over the world at least 2-3 times a year). They’re not just nice and professional, but also personable. One of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Will definitely come back! Highly recommend!

Slice of paradise”
We didn’t know what to expect after booking this last minute with little research. The whole experience was great. It’s on its own island off coron, they offer free fast boat transfers to and from coron, all food is included in the costs as it’s the only restaurant on the little island (buffet). The staff were lovely and the little huts right on the beach were absolutely beautiful. Day tours are available from the hotel to see all of the coron island sites as well as snorkelling right out the front of the hotel. I did a discovery dive with the hotel and ended up enjoying it so much that we did a shipwreck dive later that day. The dive staff are extremely experienced and made me feel completely comfortable even though I didn’t know if I would enjoy diving. Would love to go back with the whole family.

Perfect place for diving or just relaxing”
I basically loved everything about this place. From the booking process all the way through to your departure they’ve taken a lot of care to make sure the trip runs smoothly. It’s a very organised and professional outfit. The friendly reception staff will help you through getting to the island - which is quite remote. The diving is world class. There are several large wrecks within a 10 minute boat ride. Staying at this resort is the most convenient way to reach all of them. The diving staff are very experienced (some have spent 15+ years diving these exact wrecks). They are cheerful and very helpful. On a couple of days they went above the call of duty and helped me repair some of my personal diving equipment instead of telling me to rent theirs. I just cannot recommend them highly enough. I would say that one of the dives through the wreck of the Morazon was amongst the best dives of my life. The accommodation is clean and peaceful. There is no air conditioning or hot water but the rooms are well situated so they get a sea breeze and are equipped with fans. Sleeping was very comfortable. The beds are all equipped with mosquito nets - although I was surprised that did not see a single mosquito for the duration of my stay. Food was plentiful, regular and delicious - you won’t go hungry. The cooks come up with great meals day after day - despite being there a week it was new every day. It has to be said that this is a remote island, if you’re looking for a place in town this isn’t for you. But if you want peace, quiet and some of the best diving of your life then this is the place for you. I will definitely be back.

Holidays at its best!”
We stayed 3 nights at Sangat island resort and had a great time. The island is stunning! We were staying in a beach bungalow with a superb view and going to bed with the noise of the ocean. The room was basic yet comfortable witha nice balcony overlooking the shore. We are not divers but really enjoyed snorkeling around the island, the reef is beautiful. If you are a diver i would say this is the place to be. There is a great dive centers and the forst wrecks are just around the corner. The evenings and nights are also pretty cool with 2 bars and plenty of people to meet and speak with. Great time overall and we would definitely be back.

Fantastic dive resort - perfectly located for wreck diving”
We had a fantastic time at Sangat. There are numerous wrecks that are accessible within minutes of the resort. They can be easily accessed by anyone with PADI Open Water (but equally the dive centre can help you to get certified too, which would also include some dives around some of the shallower wrecks). The rooms are large and rustic but charming. The food was on the whole delicious and balanced, including lots of vegetables/salad (which we found to be difficult to track down on menus in other parts of the Philippines). The beach itself and the beach bar are stunning, with an extremely laid-back atmosphere. All in all an incredible experience.

Great place to rest and dive, a bit isolated from Coron! Ideal for couple’s or family holidays!”
The resort is beautiful and the staff is 5 stars, it is a great place for diving adventures and to get some rest away from the noisy crowds of Coron. The only downside I would say is that nothing is included in the room rate so expect meals, tours and drinks to be an add on, the resort is also an eco resort that only has cold water for showers, food is standard quality. Appart from that everything was great!

A perfect place to relax and dive”
A superb setting - one of the most picturesque beach locations I've stayed in. Very friendly service and spacious, clean rooms opening onto the beach. Perfectly located for the famous Coron wreck-diving and very experienced and personable dive instructors (with the speedboat making trips much quicker). All meals are included and the food is very good, though could potentially benefit from more variety for longer stays. Generally though, absolutely superb.

The island and resort were paradise. ”
The private island was beautiful and very well laid out. You had your private cottages well spaced for privacy. We were greeted by a family of monkeys, the only ones we saw on the whole trip. It’s location for scuba diving and snorkeling was the best!! 5 minutes from the best wreck diving in the Philippines. The garden reef was spectacular. The dive shop and guides were very professional with excellent diving. The only subject that could use a little improvement was the food. There was plenty with lots of variety but there entres could have been better. Best stay in the Philippines our whole vacation.

Amazing getaway!”
Sangat was the perfect escape, with everything that you need right at your doorstep! Pro’s: Simple but tasteful accommodation, beautiful stretch of beach, lovely and incredibly helpful staff, tea and coffee available all day, plenty of entertainment with books, board games and a pool table, wonderful snorkeling... I could go on and on! Con: An area for development is that replies via email seem to be copy and paste - it was quite challenging arranging the transport from Coron to Sangat. We were unable to get through on the phone so had to email and the person responding kept on saying that I need to call 2 days before arriving, despite me explaining that we couldn’t get through. In the end it was sorted out after I managed to get through on a call but A trike was arranged to pick us from our hotel without our knowledge and we were charged triple the normal amount! This left a not so good taste and could have been avoided with proper communication.

Incredible location”
The location is unbelievable. The staff is really helpful and caring, thank you Eliza for spoiling us and accomodating all our requests. We really enjoyed the food and coming from Italy we tend to be very picky about it.. There is fresh fish every meal, many choices of fresh fruit and vegetables beautifully cooked. Alcoholic drinks are very cheap as well. We particularly enjoyed kayaking around the island with stunning views of the islands and bays nearby and litterally no boats around. Diving is well organised even though we haven't been particularly lucky in terms of visibility. No complaints about the cottages. There is no air con and hot water but you don't really need it and to me it was a plus. Wi fi is very temperamental and signal is very poor. My only advice would be to provide some shampoo and an extra towel for the beach. Highly recommended!!!

Amazing location for wreck diving ”
We stayed at Sangat for 4 nights and loved it there. Being in a remote location, some amenities were basic (such as no hot shower). The resort ground was large with hammocks, pool table, outdoor bar, little caves to explore to keep us busy. The cottages were well spaced apart so there was plenty of privacy. Food was okay but definitely plenty to keep you full. Very professional diving outfit - the divemasters knew their way around the wrecks very well. This was very important to us as some of the dives could get fairly technical. The resort staff were super friendly and helpful. Will definitely recommend this to friends.

It is expensive. Many people stopped for one night. I feel you pay for location and services. ”
Don’t just drop in to sleep. One night stand is shallow, but if you must... I had 8:40 am arrival and spent much of check-out day at resort. The resort is located near many of destinations of tours and dives. Lovely facility built by a life ambition of Andy and his wife. Snorkel in the bay, kayak to Coral Garden. Three delicious buffet style meals. Paradise setting. Well run and managed.

Amazing location”
Pros: snorkeling from your doorstep is amazing. Many things to do in resort: diving, snorkeling, kayaking, paddle board etc. Amazing ground, friendly staff Cons: limited food options. We don’t mind paying for snack in between meals. Traveling with kids can be tricky. Overall a fantastic experience! Will come back

Not nearly long enough”
My girlfriend and I spent 4 nights here. The staff was more than accommodating, food wonderful, and views.. even better. We weren't necessarily there for the diving but did manage to sneak onto one of the tours as snorkelers which was awesome. Seemed as though we brought the winds and rough seas with us as we didn't get to do as much as we maybe would have liked due to this. All and all it turned out to be for the best. We enjoyed every meal prepared by the chef. Being a chef myself, I was pleasantly surprised with the authenticity, presentation and overall quality of each meal. Marie, Glad, Annalynne, Bryan were amongst the stellar staff members that waited on us hand and foot. Thanks in advance for your hospitality! We're already planning our return for next year. It was more than we expected and were sad to have only booked 4 nights in paradise. More reason to come back to share this beautiful place with our extended family. Thanks for the unforgettable time.
