This resort is located very close to the wrecks (up to 25 min max of boat to go scuba diving). Located on an isolated island, with a private beach, this resort is ideal to relax. There is not a lot of bungalows, you can easily feel that the beach is yours. The staff is very very helpful and friendly, the... More

On arrival in Coron I changed my mind in 10 minutes to jump on a boat heading for Sangat resort instead of staying in Coron. That was one of the best decisions during my 6 months trip; the resort is a real treat but worth and very reasonable. This is an all inclusive with 3 home made meals a day;... More

My experience falls in line with the other reviews. Diving was great, the resort is closer to many of the wrecks and this saves time. The boat dives cost 1700 php and 300 php to rent all the neccessary gear (wetsuits, fins, flashlight, etc.). This rate is cheaper than they advertise of their website. The food was above average. Always... More

Lovely beachside property - our hut/cottage was so close to the sea! So quiet and peaceful, and all the staff were lovely. The dive team looked after us well - especially as we'd had trouble getting to the resort (flight problems, not Sangat's fault) and were there for a shorter time than we'd expected to be. We had 10 dives... More

Beautiful location, very nice beach! Accomodation bit simple for the price, although great views. Food ok but not very special. Diving very nice. Close to a lot of wrecks! Good service! Enjoyed our stay!

We stayed here in April and had a great time, the resort is an island paradise. It's very beautiful and peaceful, sitting in a hammock and watching the stars and even the milky way at night really made you feel like you were on your own deserted island. I spent most of the 3 days we were there diving the... More

Situated right next to the wrecks of Coron, this island is your best bet for great diving around the Coron/Busuanga area. Only 15 cottages set around a small area, it is a great eco-resort with power coming only in the evenings. Meals are had together in their great little restaurant, together with free flowing coffee, tea or juice. Nice bar... More

I have visited a fair proportion of the growing number of resorts in SE Asia. Many are excellent but for me, Sangat Island Dive Resort stands out from the rest for its whole ethos and atmosphere. This description of Sangat is based principally on my family’s trip this month but also on my experiences there over the years since 1996.... More
