I stayed at Seadive because of good reviews and comments but here is my piece, I give my 2 thumbs up for the management and staff for making my stay worth remembering.

The driver took me to a narrow entrance and I walked the narrow passageway adorned with clinging vines and crossed a concrete footbridge that connects to Seadive. I was greeted by friendly staff as I stepped inside their reservation area. I supposed to have a fan room but I changed my mind because I want to have a good view of everything so I took the A/C upper accommodation instead. I can say that I hit the right resort with own restaurant (Seadive restaurant) where you can have free coffee and free wifi connection, dive shop (Sea diver) that offers PADI scuba diving courses and diving services (check their website for their rates), bar(Helldivers), they arranged tour package and selling some souvenirs as well. The accommodation for me was perfect because of the panoramic view of the surrounding islands, the Coron bay. It’s very relaxing having my breakfast in front of the sea watching boats sail.

Sea dive have efficient staff. They respond immediately to my every request and gave what I needed. This is very important because most tourists want a stress free environment where one can just relax and unwind without bothering about problems in hospitality. They made jokes that sometimes made me laugh some are a little ***y but not offending. In fact they provided me all the information for a lone traveler and I am forever grateful for that. I have one experience when my room shower is not working (Sometimes happen). I reported the matter to their front desk offficer and their maintenance responded immediately and He fixed the problem.

I had the chance to peek on some empty rooms and I can say that all have simple design and decoration. The size depends on what type of room. All rooms are made of light materials so expect to hear voices coming from other rooms if you are not lucky to have a silent neighbor. If ever you have this kind of problem, don’t hesitate to inform the front desk and they will do the explanation to the person concerned like what I did. I had a great and sound sleep the next night and no human alarm clock the next morning. For me the best accommodation is the deluxe room located at the 2nd and 3rd floor of the resort with its own veranda. It is also one stair away from the rooftop where you can try their hammock and enjoy the sea breeze blowing to your face. You can also have a view of Coron town, Mt. Tapyas and the sea.
What I also like is their prompt reply to myqueries which is very important on making travel plans. They even called me on the final stage of room reservation and if I saw the driver at the airport. They made a good impression by doing that.

If you are on a very tight budget they have fan rooms with common bathroom for only P400.00. Other room rates are as follows:
A/C Room (ground floor) – P900.00
Fan Room (2nd Floor) – P800.00
Superior A/C room – P1000.00
Deluxe A/C room – P1400.00

All rooms are clean with private toilet, hot and cold shower and the charge for extra person is P150.00 and P200.00 for extra bed.
They also accept visa and master card payment but with 5 % surcharge.

My only suggestion, They should work on making their WIFI reach the rooms especially on the upper floors to lessen the number of guest at the restaurant who just checking their favorite social networking site.

All in all, I can say that I had a great time at sea dive where I met new friends local or foreign tourist alike. Because I’m satisfied , I bought a Coron Seadive resort souvenir shirt for P250.00.
Kudos...
