Nice and small hotel with only 10 rooms with its own diving center. Breakfast was good. Friendly Staff Massage was awesome. Dive Master au top and all other Staff as well. Nice snorkelling spot with very nice corals, sea turtles and sea snakes everyday. 2hrs drive from tagbilaran or getafe ferry pier. Would definitly recommend it for family but no with young kids or with people that cannot clim stairs. The hotel is located on a cliff = Amazing view.

“From initial room adjustments to a stunning final ocean-view upgrade, our stay at Blue Star delivere”
A Wonderful Stay at Blue Star! My time at Blue Star was truly memorable, and I can't recommend it enough, especially if you love being in the water! Snorkeling Paradise If you are a snorkeling enthusiast, this is absolutely the place for you. The resort boasts one of the best snorkeling spots I have ever seen right in front of the property. It is an amazing underwater world that is well worth the stay all by itself! Service and Room Experience We initially booked a garden pool view room, which offered a quiet, grounded location on the lower level. While our first night included some unexpected late-night activity from guests in the unit above—a gentle reminder of the resort's popularity—the staff handled it with speed and care. The very next morning, the team quickly moved us to a second-level room. This led to another small opportunity for them to show off their service when we found the air conditioning needed a quick check. Instead of just fixing it, they went above and beyond and upgraded us to a fantastic ocean view bungalow standard! This final room was the perfect finish to our trip, featuring an excellent view overlooking the ocean. The resort staff were attentive and responsive, ensuring our stay ended on a high note in a truly spectacular setting.

“Paradise!! A place where you'll want to come back.”
Amazing place, stunning views, magical reef just down the hotel, probably one of the best snorkeling spots ever seen. All the people working in the hotel are superfriendly. We took diving lessons and this just made our whole holiday. Jason, the diving instructor is very professional and the whole diving crew is fantastic. We were also lucky because we had the perfect weather. If you are thinking about learning how to dive, don't hesitate, this paradise is where you should do it!

“Very relaxing, super staff and incredible diving!”
The ocean view bungalows were set amongst the trees with a stunning view of the ocean from the balcony. Staff were very friendly and really did all they could to make our stay really memorable. Food was very good, everything freshly cooked for each meal. Despite it being rainy season diving was particularly good and Yam (divemaster) did a great job finding accessible dove sites each day. Incredible diving and superb staff at the dive centre. They really do everything for you apart from the dive itself!
