Hotels in Mabini

"Three friends and I stayed here during a trip to the Philippines. From Manila Airport, we first traveled to the bus terminal in Manila city, then took a two-hour bus ride from Manila to Batangas, and then a one-hour taxi ride from there. If possible, I think it would be easier to charter a car from Manila. The hotel was very clean and comfortable. We had a great time relaxing by the pool and trying our hand at diving. There's nothing around the hotel, so we had to eat at the hotel restaurant, but the food was of very high quality and delicious. They also had a few Japanese dishes, such as tonkatsu, which was nice. Overall, the prices were high for a resort hotel, but it was a great experience worth the price."

"The most famous spot here is the Anilao diving area, considered a ”macro paradise” by divers worldwide—not for grandeur, but for detail; quiet, yet captivating. Even if you don't dive, it's a great place to sit by the sea and watch the clouds, waves, and the slowly shifting light. Disadvantages: The hotel room Wi-Fi was broken and not properly fixed. There are mosquitoes, so bring mosquito repellent. The food is on the pricier side, probably to match the beautiful scenery."

"Very good value for the money. Friendly and helpful staff. Reasonable dive shop and DM was great."

"First time to visit a resort and beach in Batangas, and I must say that Altamare exceeded my expectations. I love the activities you can do, though it is limited, but still worth it. The vibe of being so peaceful and calm, since it is away from the noise, is the best thing of this resort. The services and foods are very good. You just need to be prepared of the stairs, it is very challenging! Overall it was really really good experience."

"Excellent get away, the service is outstanding and the staff are friendly and very helpful..."

"The hotel's excellent environment and design are truly eye-catching. The ocean view hotel is right above the sea, perfect for diving. The hotel management is very professional, the service is good, and the food is also quite good at a reasonable price!"

"Perfect if you love diving and snorkeling. Lovely Italian restaurants 1 km away. Very sweet people, but I think much too expensive for the Philippines. Free canoe and equipment available from the resort. Tip: book directly through the owner."

"Super beautiful hotel, the hotel is built near the sea, you can go snorkeling or play rubber boats directly without leaving the hotel. The water is crystal clear and there are a lot of corals around. The hotel’s meals are great value for money, each dish in the hotel has its own creativity, and none of the dishes we ordered were overturned (I am very picky about food)"

"We stayed in Porto Novo Anilao Dive & Leisure Resort for 7 days 6 nights. The rooms are very clean and the food in their restaurant is very good. The F&B staff are friendly and the food is yummy. We did 16 dives with them. Thanks very much to instructor Mervin, JM and their dive team. They are professional, very friendly and make you feel like a VIP. They took us to several beautiful dive sites which I never think Anilao have them. I strongly recommend this resort and I am sure I will come back again. Special thanks to Janet for the Lo Mei, JM for the Mei Hon and Halo Halo. Hope to see you all again very soon."
