The individual properties themselves inside the resort were fantastic. The resort, well kept and clean. The Staff were amazing... incredibly helpful, friendly and attentive.
The Salaya is a gem, no, a gem necklace studded with diamonds and gold! From the exquisite accommodations, to the ever so friendly, kind, and super attentive staff across the enitre hotel property, my stay was beyond extraordinary in every aspect, and this review, comes from a global traveller with luxury tastes and discerning standards.
Absolutely incredible stay. The grounds are immaculate, the rooms are clean and updated. The most incredible part is the staff. They are so welcoming and friendly. They made our stay unforgettable. The resort felt like our own little oasis.
We spent the days diving which had the best dive guide, dive manager, and boat crew who made the whole thing so smooth and easy for our group. We always felt safe and everything organized so well including snacks and drinks between dives. Lots of turtles, a sting ray, and even a blue whale was spotted!
The evenings we relaxed by the pool and the bar or took advantage of their incredible spa facilities.
This is my second visit to salaya and we'll definitely be back again. It is truly an incredible place! I cannot recommend enought!
Absolutely Amazing Stay – Already Planning Our Return!
We recently spent 20 days at Salaya Beach Houses, with 16 days of incredible diving, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
We stayed in a penthouse room, which was spacious, beautifully designed, and offered stunning views. The beds were extremely comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep after long days of adventure. The entire resort was impeccably maintained, making it a pleasure to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
We opted for the full-board package, which offered generous portions at every meal. However, as we were staying for an extended period, we would have welcomed some lighter options to balance the offering.
To add to the relaxation, we also had a couple of massages, and they were the best we’ve ever had—we would highly recommend them to anyone visiting the resort.
What truly made our stay special was the incredible staff. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel like family. Everyone was warm, welcoming, and attentive, making our experience even more memorable.
The dive operation was exceptionally well-run, with highly professional dive guides and crew who made each dive safe, enjoyable, and unforgettable. The diving itself was spectacular, and the team’s expertise made all the difference.
We had such an amazing time that we are already planning our next visit! If you’re looking for a luxurious yet welcoming dive resort with top-notch service, look no further than Salaya
The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Very private place. I like the fact that the snorkeling area is right in front of the resort.
Few villas mean few people on the place which we prefer
There’s nothing NOT to like ! Look and smell clean , management and staff are awesome… the restaurant and food is at par with any branded named hotels and resorts. I highly recommend it!

This is the resort of exceptions & BUTS.
Let me explain….for everything good about this resort there is an off-setting negative.
The property looks ok, BUT the road to get there is like a demilitarized zone, hazardous, bombed out, one lane, cratered, and you pass laundry, chickens and little maldito kids using bad language towards passers by.
The beach looks nice from above, BUT it’s a crappy beach, dirty, no one uses it.
The units are equipped with a full modern kitchen, BUT it’s one hundred USD to use the kitchen that’s already in your room. Seriously, there are warnings posted about not using the kitchen. I asked, luckily it’s ok to use the restroom. Seriously…. Can not use the kitchen that’s in your unit. No charge though to sit on the sofa.
Loads of windows and sliding doors, BUT half of them don’t lock.
Large and spacious rooms built for to entertaining (big sofa, table that seat 6-8, porch that seat 6-8) BUT, no guests are allowed. Period. None. Why not? That’s the rule sir.
The restaurant has really great food and really great service (Ellen especially) BUT, they literally kicked us out of the restaurant one lunch day for the sole reason we didn’t want to order sushi. I kid you not. Four adults and an infant, kicked out and told to go to the bar if you want to order lunch from the lunch menu. On sushi day, you’re forced to eat sushi. Crazy insulting and plainly bizarre.
Remote location BUT, there is absolutely nothing
Excellent hotel et très bonne cuisine
Les plongées sont hyper chères pour le pays mais vous êtes très bien encadré
Le personnel vous demande de signer des dérogations pour tout, aller à la piscine très jolie d ailleurs ou faire du snorkeling par exemple, ce qui nous a surpris.
Notre appartement était immense avec une très grande terrasse, dommage qu ll soit impossible d y prendre le petit déjeuner alors qu il y a un espace salle à manger
Sinon nous avons passé un excellent séjour
This is a great boutique hotel with lovely grounds , the villas are brand new and perfectly decorated .
We had to cut our stay short due to a bereavement, and the Manageress Carol kindly agreed to keep our extra nights as future credit .
The pool area was great overlooks the sea.
We had a great dinner at the restaurant .
Pros:
Marc and his team are wonderful! They serve with heart, trying in everyway within their limits to make our stay a pleasure. Big thank you to all the restaurant staff, especially Kathy. And Dave & Christian as our snorkelling and dive guides. Also, all the masseuses that we have experienced are attentive to our needs and have very good touch.
The rooms are spacious and bed is of excellent firmness.
The grounds are beautiful and immaculately cared for, with a few proud looking free-range chickens roaming around, very delightful.
The dive boat crew is great, helpful and thorough. Most of the dive sites are quite close (10-20 minutes) to the resort. Some wonderful snorkeling is available at several of the dive sites. In fact, nice snorkelling is available right off the resort grounds.
Cons:
Choice of food is very limiting, the western dishes are more successful. The wood fried pizza is world class, hopefully they will serve it daily instead of only on weekends.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The property was very nice, clean, scenic and comfortable .. the apartments were spacious and with good interiors. However, there needs to be a pest control that is done. There were insects in the apartment and my bed had bed bugs too that has left me with a rash
Great resort-the rooms were spacious and clean; the beds were comfortable; the food was consistently good; the staff was warm and well trained.
During the snorkeling trip to Apo Island arranged through Salaya, Klaus was wonderful company and Dave really looked after us. The chef packed us a delicious lunch and snacks.
We were disappointed that all the paddle boards were busted. Also, there isn't a lot of room for riding a bike within the grounds. But the massage at the Spa was great, and there's fast wifi and a nice pool for lounging.
It's important that I recount our terrible experience with a local businessman named Barry who rents out cars- he tried to change the conditions of the rental midway, and raised his voice while arguing with us. While we got Barry's name and number from Salaya, he is actually not employed by Salaya and we dealt directly with him. I only mention this incident because, when Salaya's manager saw how distraught we were at Barry, it was she who tried to pacify us and who made a wonderful gesture of sending us a bottle of bubbly to try to make up for Barry's shortcoming.
We highly recommend this resort and will definitely return!
We had a wonderful week at Salaya Beach Houses, it was to celebrate our 60 th birthdays. The staff were all fantastic and couldn't do enough for us, our meals could be taken in the restaurant, on our balcony, by the pool or at the bar. Whilst we were there,we had an introduction to diving followed by two amazing dives off Apo Island, the tuition was first class encouraging my anxious husband to actually complete two dives, he is now hooked. All the crew were so helpful, they even provided us with a fabulous hot lunch on the dive boat, I don't know how they did it! On our last night a special meal was organised for us as a surprise, they set up a table on the edge of the beach with candles,flowers, a wonderful 3 course Thai meal with some extra courses thrown in and just to cap it off they also arranged for an acoustic guitarist to play very discretely for us. We also had a visit to the local food market with the chef who then cooked a meal for us with her sous chef in our apartment, great experience. A trip to the nearby waterfalls past the sulphur bursts with dips in the cold waterfall pools and the hot spa pool was a great chance to see a little of the local area as well as enjoy the waterfalls. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. It is really well run and we definitely hope to return!
The resort opened relatively recently, and is geared mainly to divers. The rooms are spacious and beautifully appointed, the food is great and the resort is small enough that the staff can lavish attention on the guests.
The beach is not particularly picturesque, but is part of a marine sanctuary and so the marine life off the beach is amazing. The dive boat is large and spacious and expertly crewed, which allows guests to dive off sites further off such as Apo and Syquijor islands.
The dive facikities, dive instructors and dive masters were all really great, and able to accommodate divers of different levels of experience.
The resort and the managers should be commended for making an effort to operate and eco friendly facility that tries to promote and preserve the rich marine ecosystem of the area.
