I had a wonderful week at Sangat Island Dive Resort. Really I cannot overstate how special the place is. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the room is clean and comfortable (no problem without air conditioning, there is a lovely breeze), the food is delicious, the location is beautiful and so peaceful, and the dive shop is fantastic It was beyond my expectations, just perfect. I did my PADI advanced certification (big thanks to Tom!). The wrecks are very cool, spectacular coral and a variety of fish. I also enjoyed the Coron Island Adventure with Clyde - such a fun, well-planned day to more spectacular places. I should also note that I was completely comfortable traveling alone there. Sangat proves that we can have a lovely vacation and still respect the environment. We can minimize our impact. I’ve heard other “eco resorts” aren’t really protecting the local environment. Sangat is genuine.

Pulling up to the island on the boat felt like a dream. It was GORGEOUS. We were welcomed and shown to our hut. I felt so lucky we stayed here and really wished we had another week. It wasnt too hot so it didnt matter we didnt have AC in our beach hut. We did have a problem with 5 monkeys getting in while one of us was napping but that was her fault for not locking the screen. We had a beach massage our last night which was relaxing and great. The final day I did a half day excursion with another couple we met on the boat on the way in. I have never snorkeled in as beautiful spot as I did that day. The coral garden was beyond words. I could have spend all day swimming and watching all the underwater life. The hot springs as sunset was the cherry on top. The resort was worth every penny and more. Id love to plan a time to come back and stay much longer.

We love this island resort. We got sad leaving this place. If you’re considering booking here, just do it and you won’t regret it. Great food, awesome people and great diving amenities. The only downside was getting sad when it’s time to leave. We will definitely come back.

Eco does not mean lack of cleanliness and thoughtfulness. It has taken me a long time to review this property as I rather not complain about personal experiences. But as I look at the scars from insect bites on my arms, I feel others need to be aware. The hotel customer service is poor. There is a strong mentality of ‘not my job’ among the staff. Except for the room where the owner stays, rooms have doors that do not lock, insect nests by the doors, flees in beds and generally not very clean. I also got food poisoning from a tour arranged by the hotel which makes me think they do not qualify their vendors yet charge commission for arranging. I stayed here for the diving place which has a very good reputation but could not wait to leave. The positives were the excellent chef and a new receptionist who was trying her best with very little help from the management.
