Impeccable service, polite and friendly staff, clean facility. Downsides: no TV in rooms, too secluded, almost impossible to go anywhere outside the resort so you are stuck eating their buffets for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's a perfect venue tho if you want to scuba dive. Overall, we were satisfied with our stay.

Excellent Dive and photo resort. Small boat for personalized diving and closer to 90% of the dive sites. Great food and staff. Very friendly, helpful and gracious! I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Anilao!

I was quit impressed with the resort and crew! The service and staff were great. The food was excellent ! Loved the blackwater dives. Glenn was a great spotter and keep me extremely busy even finding a blue ringed octopus! Thank you CBR

Great dive resort. Staff and service was 5 star quality. Highly recommended.

Enjoyable stay. Greta food. Great service. Awesome dives!

This is one of the premiere dive resorts in Mabini, Batangas. Outfitted with good rooms, a good restaurant, fast Wi-Fi and staff that's been well-trained, Crystal Blue is the resort of choice for a lot of journalists and marine photographers especially the ones from Discovery Channel and National Geographic.

Overall an excellent dive resort. For the underwater photographer it doesn't get any better. Great camera room, excellent guides and Mike Bartick is a great teacher and photographer. The resort is very well maintained and the food was splendid. Very courteous staff. Can't wait to go back.

A real gem of a place, and it's only 2-3 hours from Manila. The staff are super accommodating, and you'll honestly feel at home here. The rooms are cozy, and the place itself is very well-maintained. We took a boat out to a couple islands and the experience was amazing for a city girl like me. The food is also really great--they have a rotating menu, but each meal there were three to four dishes, so you won't feel like the menu is monotonous. Overall, this place truly deserves 5/5 stars. We went in September, so it's obviously not the peak summer season outing--but the diving was great and the resort itself was a delight. Come check them out!

The diving here is fantastic. The resort takes great care of you. The photo room for all your camera gear is the best I've ever encountered on a dive trip.

Great place and the staff are very nice. This is great diving resort

Amazing resort. Great food and atmosphere. Met the owner and was very happy with the whole experience. Would definitely go back!

This resort is heaven for underwater photographers and videographers. Perfectly organised, the best camera room imaginable with literally every possible detail taken into account. Mike is truly passionate about top notch underwater photography and has surrounded himself with some of the best people in the field. I did the Blackwater workshop and have learned so much! Will definitely be coming back for more. Also, staff is amazing, the chef is really talented and the rooms are comfortable and clean. Couldn’t give a stronger recommendation, already trying to book the next one!
