Marco Vincent Dive Resort

"March 2025 This was my second time staying at Marco Vincent Dive Resort, and once again, it did not disappoint. When I travel to the Philippines, I’m often accompanied by a group for volunteer work, and Marco Vincent always offers a much-needed reprieve after our long days. With exceptional customer service, the most welcoming staff and beautiful amenities, our few days of relaxation are always made even better by this wonderful resort. While the entire staff is consistently warm, attentive and helpful (always greeting us with a smile), I’d like to give a special shoutout to Che Viray, the Front Desk Supervisor. From start to finish — whether communicating over the phone or via WhatsApp — Che was incredibly responsive to both my needs and those of my group. She assisted us with payment arrangements, coordinated transportation to and from the ferries, booked excursions and even helped us with laundry and currency exchange. Che is patient, understanding and flexible, always willing to accommodate our requests. It was especially heartwarming that she remembered us from a previous visit years ago. Overall, my group and I had a fantastic experience. I highly recommend Marco Vincent Dive Resort to anyone looking for a relaxing escape not too far from Manila, especially if you're interested in beach time and ocean excursions. We will absolutely be returning!"

"The hotel is a nice place, 3 minutes walk from the beach and restaurants and bars. The hotel has a potential, the staff was amazing!!! very welcoming and responsive with any request we had, always with a genuine smile and willing to assist in anything. The rooms are small, old, we had spider nets and mosquitoes in it. The bed was neat but I felt it was dusted and uncomfortable. Breakfast and dinner was basic and edible."

"All the staffs are very friendly! Some concerns were the door that was poorly constructed and was hard to close. The place is very close to White beach so I liked it but we can't see ocean view so if you prefer ocean veiw, may need to consider or compare with others as well. Overall, I enjoyed the stay!"

"Absolutely loved our stay at Marco Vincent! The staff were wonderful. So kind and welcoming. They went above and beyond for us, even after we had multiple airline delays. Diving was amazing. Highly recommend."

"Great communication and logistic support to get us from Manila to the hotel. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Rooms are large but basic. Bed is big and mattress is very firm. No kettle in the room but lots of fresh water provided due to non potable water. Plenty of hot water. Pool was clean. We are the only guests this week and there are four of us so only two of 38 rooms occupied. They are building a new resort focused more on just divers to be done in 2026. Meals have been good BUT the hotel largely deals with groups. So despite having a menu it is a set meal. I Get it for large groups but not so much in this scenario. Diving today and tomorrow then a tour our last day. Beach is only minutes walk away and there really are no grand resorts facing white beach after walking the length of it. It ain’t cheap but if diving in comfort I didn’t expect it. Nicest dive boat I have ever been on. It’s more like a live aboard. Wi-Fi included and capt Stubing (70sLove Boat show) in full uniform driving the boat. 😁 First 3 dives went very well. Well organized and safe. Lots of cool sites to see with some unique marine life surprises. They are very organized and great with the personal touches. Personalized welcome folders, cups and gear boxes with printed name labels. The effort is noticed and stands out. Our day of touring was adventurous and the hotel had someone with us and the van driver the entire time. It has been a very enjoyable and pleasant experience. I can see this being a recurring location to stay and dive. Looking forward to the new building at the waterfront."
