“Big Apple Dive Resort quickly became my go-to spot in Puerto Galera, not just for the surprisingly massive pizzas and bargain beer, but for the genuinely welcoming atmosphere. The gardens surrounding the rooms and pool create a lovely, relaxed vibe, while the staff, always busy, manage to be both incredibly efficient and delightfully fun. It's a place where the convenience of having everything-diving, dining, and a soothing spa-under one roof truly shines, making it easy to settle in and enjoy.”
