Salaya Beach Houses

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.

What can I say? Great, safe, diving! Dive Masters are very good (Gomer and Joal). Food is over the top; underwater ocean specimen were exotic and plentiful. A diver's dream come true. Staff was superb! Would definitely book here again!!!!!

This place is magic on earth. Salaya is not just a hotel/guest house - the ambiance and feel is like no other place we have stayed in the Philippines. All the staff were incredibly welcoming and passionate about the property and made sure we had an experience to remember. The gardens and pool area is so tranquil, with all rooms having a beautiful view of the sea. We stayed in Porcelain which was a two bed apartment - our family was 2 adults and 3 children - we had plenty of space. The diving is like no other. The service from the initial briefing and getting kitted up to getting out of the sea after a dive to warm towels (!) is first class. We literally didn’t lift a finger (we felt incredibly spoilt!). We enjoyed exquisite drinks and food on board, and snorkellers in our party were welcome with reefs we dived at were also catered to them. We dived on three days of our stay with our Junior Open water qualified children (but there is an opportunity to do Discover Scuba Diving if you are not qualified). We thoroughly recommend the day trip to Apo Island - turtles guaranteed, a beautiful crossing and wonderful staff on board to cater for your every wish. A special shout out to Jomer and Joel who were incredibly kind and patient with our young divers (aged 10 and 11) giving them confidence to experience some incredible dive sites. Salaya is heaven on earth, and what has been created here is incredible. There is nothing they haven’t thought of to make your holiday perfect. We are already saving for our return trip.

Salaya Resort was great. Service was impeccable. Food at their restaurant exceeded our expectations. Everything was expertly prepared and delicious, even better than the food at many 5 star resorts that we've tried. Kudos to the chef. Massage at the spa and yoga with Lino was excellent.
