Magic Island Dive Resort

Loved this place. Great food, comfortable room and excellent food. The diving was great too, particularly the night diving on the house reef to see the mandarin fish mating.

Sea view from the deck chairs close to the bar is so fantastic that we spent hours there. Diving center of the hotel is really great with an incredible support from all members of the team. Special thanks to Jason B and Jason L who are great nice and professional persons. We enjoyed a lot our 7 days stay at Magic Island with our daughters since we had the opportunity to dive with many turtles and a lot of muck. I had a surgery on my right ankle 3 months prior to the trip and the assistance of the diving team made my vacations wonderful indeed. Food is good and the choice of cocktails / mocktails / freshly squeezed juices at reasonable prices is excellent. Only one negative topic : there are jellyfish therefore avoid shorty and chose long sleeves wet suits preferably. Massage are good value for money too.

This has been the best dive resort we have been to. It was small and quaint. The dives were amazing. Food was really good. The staff was overwhelmingly friendly and accommodating. We felt right at home. We didn’t want to leave but we went to the sister resort magic oceans for our next dives.

Our stay at Magic Island Resort was superb. We were so well looked after by the friendly staff and the attention to detail was incredible. The food was delicious. We felt like part of the family. Nothing was too hard. The facilities were exquisite the diving amazing and the ocean views perfect. We can't wait to return again.

Band of Bubbles 2024 Philippines Dive Trip! This was the most SPLENDID vacation we've ever had! The Magic Resorts pair of Magic Island and Magic Oceans is just astonishingly great! The trip is long and grueling from the US, but it's worth every moment spent getting there! We spent one week at Magic Island and then transferred to Magic Oceans on Bohol. All of the transfers went without a hitch. What an AWESOME job they did at orchestrating all of that. Once we settled into Magic Island we had the most amazing week ever! The diving was awe-inspiring and the staff made our group feel like family. The pure joy and happiness was 24/7 during our stay. Not only was the diving incredible, but the food was seemingly endless and delicious! You won't go hungry here!!

We were at this same resort 10 years ago. Many majority of the staff are still there and make this resort a truly special place. Wonderful service and the staff is just great to interact with. The accommodations are soon to undergo a face-lift: 4 cabins being rebuilt and all getting bigger bathrooms with more counter space. We saw what the new bathrooms will look like come September 2024 and that will make these accommodations even better. Food was wonderful and you can pick from what's on the board for lunch and dinner, served family style, or order off the extensive menu is you choose. The grounds are lovely and the intimate nature of the resort (only 10 cabins) makes it and you feel special. The diving is good but still recovering from the typhoon of December 2021. You can see new life growing and there is still lots of beautiful soft coral. Lots of critters and the sardine experience is unique. All in all, the staff and the grounds make the resort excellent and the diving will continue to improve as growth happens.
