We stayed at BR for five nights. It’s definitely a good dive resort. We are snorkelers who snorkeled every day. The beach is pretty rocky so wear water shoes. The food was good. Lots of selections, and a very good selection of breakfast foods. We ate there every day. I would recommend most of the items we had, except maybe the Ceasars salad, the dressing was strong for me. And have your bread toasted if you get a sandwich. The beer was very cold. Good shakes. Ice bucket was provided if asked for. Two great waiters, Justin and Zed. The room was small, but luggage fit under the bed. We spent a lot of time on our balcony which was fantastic and overlooking the bay. Very comfortable chairs and table. That’s where we spent our time if we weren’t eating or snorkeling. Dave the front desk guy was very helpful. He helped me pay a bill from our last hotel that got overlooked by using g cash, which I do not have. The staff was great. Be prepared for a workout with the stairs, but the staff muscle helped with heavy luggage. Anilao town a ten minute drive. Paid cash at the end cause credit card reader wasn’t working. I thought our last bill was very reasonable. We ate and drank for five days and it was about $110 USD. We enjoyed our stay.

Just ideal
The resort is very comfortable and clean! Staff are very friendly helpful and good at what they do. I thoroughly enjoyed my time and will definitely visit again. I work in Manila so it is less than three hours from Manila to the resort.

A simple diver resort, which conveniently does single dives in the afternoon as well as double dives in the morning at a reasonable price. We have visited the area several times in the past, in this resort we did not feel particularly well, including after the dives (the reason is hard to pinpoint, may or may not have to do with the resort). Room 1 had some half-dead cockroaches crawling around. Otherwise, the dining area on the terrace is nice and serves good local dishes, including coconut-based curries. The aircon is not particularly strong but can cool the room down to 22-23C. Wifi is not bad most of the time.

We loved Blue Ribbon - a small hotel designed for divers. The diving was excellent and Jeff was a first class frogfish spotter (although we tried but ultimately failed to find a waddling one...). All the staff working at the hotel/dive centre were kind, friendly and hard-working. The rooms are basic but you have everything you need, and the bed was comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the food offered by the restaurant. For such a small hotel there really was an exceptionally large menu and everything we ate we would have re-ordered. We recommend.

Myself and my girlfriend have just stayed for 11 nights at Blue Ribbon Dive Resort in March 2023. Basic accommodation but with sunset views to die for each evening from the seawiew balcony. What a great place with fantastic diving every single day at so many different locations! Quite simply it is run by divers for divers. They have wonderful coral reef diving with exceptional sites, some just minutes from the resort, providing daily sea turtles, amazing brightly coloured nudibranch and sea creatures for macro photography. There is also a wreck dive or the beautiful Sombrero island that is sightly further away. Every dive instructor we had was so professional and knowledgeable, especially Jeff, Dang and Ogie. The office and bar staff were also friendly and extremely helpful when needed.  The resort has a first class local and international menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner with all meals cooked to order (a lot of the divers staying elsewhere would eat there before returning to their hotels). We would normally go out to eat in the evenings but there was simply no need to. They have some lovely, well looked after dogs It's fairly obvious that all of the Blue Ribbon staff are happy in their work, which is usually a very good sign, and this is one of the reasons that we will definitely be back again 😁

A bit underwhelmed & room for improvement
Check-in: There’s a steep flight of stairs heading down to the resort. We tried the intercom to ask for assistance, but it wasn’t working. We eventually lugged down our own luggages. Upon checking-in, they only prepared one room instead of my two room booking. It was eventually resolved, but I was scared we wouldn’t have enough accommodations for a few minutes as it was a small resort with few rooms. Room: Pretty basic, but clean. What I didn’t like though was that we could hear the sounds of footsteps from the floor above us and there seems to be some cigarette smells coming in from somewhere. Property: Landscaping could be improved for a better vibe. A few more plants can go a long way. Seeing just a lot of soil looks kinda sad. Common areas are just okay. Wifi connection is on/off, but this is expected in the area. Food: Hit and Miss, I personally recommend the Tikka Masala, Fajitas, and Curries. Serving is quite big, can be shared by two in some instances. For breakfast, stick to the Filipino options or the omelette. I think some of the menu items are a bit overpriced. Dive Shop: Quite good and complete, price is competitive as well among the options in the area. They tend to group divers from the resort into one boat that typically leaves at 9AM. Others: I like that their checkout time is at 2PM, right. Take note that in settling your balance, there is 5% surcharge if paying by credit card. Should have informed us beforehand so I could prepare cash.

maybe again, but
There are 101 stairs from the road down to the resort, so if you have any problems with your legs, this place is not recommended. Down somewhat easier, but up.... Worst thing was that owners dogs and cats were all over and that was very annoying. One dog urinated on my bag on the floor at the table while we were eating. What kind of restaurang is this? Disgusting. Otherwise place was nice and staff friendly and professional.

The staff was friendly and helpful, but were talking loudly early in the morning right outside the guest rooms. We loved the deep pool. The roof had a leak and the restaurant menu didn’t have much variety. But the hotel allowed us to use snorkeling gear and arranged a nice boat trip for us. Beware you must be able to climb a long flight of stairs to go to and from the hotel!

Location of property close enough to Manila. I like that it is small and personalized. Dive was amazing. Instructor and guides were great. Staff were very friendly and the meals were very good. Only drawback is the looooong stairway up and down to the resort. But to someone who is more fit I'm sure it's a minor issue. Thank you, John for an overall excellent stay! We enjoyed it very much and no doubt you will be seeing us again.
