I stayed here and dived for 1 week and it was just perfect for me. The restaurant is not fancy but the food is good. The snack bar on the ground level is really cute, too, and Alex is there to serve ice cold drinks or coffee day and night. Everyone working here tries really hard to make their customers... More

I lived in Manila for 6 years and cam back to Arthur's several times. The food quantity diminished slightly over the years but you do not come here for the food. Come to Arthur's for the lawn and picnic tables to relax after a day of diving. I had a mix of dive masters but for the most part they... More

I was traveling alone and stumble into this place. Room was indeed very simple but clean. Staffs were friendly and helpful; they went out of their way to assist me. This small resort has a restaurant, which had good local Filipino cuisine. Very quite and peaceful resort with awesome dive sites about 5-10 minutes boat ride away. You cannot ask... More

One of very nice dive resorts in Anilao! The rooms are very simple but clean, quite, comfortable and well maintianed. Enjoy the diving vacation in "Macro Heaven" and after diving enjoy yourself by hanging around with a beautiful environment. Staffs are friendly, pro-active and really helpful. Recommended!!!

Anilao has plenty of resorts I'd put in the 'rustic' category but Arthurs really stands out above all the others. The rooms are very clean and well maintained, the interiors are quite simple but this add to the charm of the resort. The grassy area outside the room is great for just lazing around while the restaurant serves great food... More

Arthur's is a good get away from city life in Manila. Cute aesthetic. To enjoy your stay, bring the following: toiletries, insect repellent, bug spray, and snacks. (They can prepare meals, but they don't sell packaged foods like crackers, nuts, chips, etc). The food is really good and cheap -- especially the seafood. This isn't really a place to relax... More

Aside from the very common misuse of the word "resort" (this always is a problem in the Philippines!), Arthur's Place is just what you need if your visit to Anilao is focused on diving. The rooms are clean (try and get the family room in the front...views are amazing), the food is decent and reasonably priced. The rental dive equipment... More

We stayed in Arthur's Place for a 4 days/3 nights diving package in June 23-26 of 2012. The price is in budget level but the service is good. Rooms are basic and simple; the air-con has big noise; the cleaness of washroom is just Ok but they clean it everyday. Hot water is not quite enough for shower and there's... More

We went to Arthur's on the basis of a very positive review from a friend and were very happy. The rooms are basic but comfortable enough and the service is great. Little extras, like free coffee and tea available all day long and water refills make it stand out. The service is really friendly and they are very laid-back. You... More

This area is full of dive resorts to suit all different taste. We chose Arthur's based on recommendation and were pleasantly surprised. Rooms are simple but clean. Our group was big and included experienced divers and non-divers. The staff were very accommodating to our requests for diving, snorkeling and first time discovery dives. The instructors were knowledgable and paid good... More
