Mike's Dauin Beach Resort  

On Negros Island in Dauin, about 20 minutes south of Dumaguete — a beachfront dive resort minutes from Dauin Church and within reach of Malatapay Market and Mount Talinis. It’s the jump-off for short banca rides to Apo Island, one of the Philippines’ best-managed marine sanctuaries.

A small, intimate hotel with just twelve rooms set only meters from the sand and a relaxed, friendly vibe. Rooms are air-conditioned with private showers and daily housekeeping, and the property features a signature lagoon pool with a waterfall.

Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and hit the water — on-site dive centre runs trips to Apo Island and local macro sites famed for frogfish, seahorses, flamboyant cuttlefish, blue-ringed octopus and sea turtles. Facilities include a lagoon pool with waterfall plus indoor and outdoor pools, a poolside bar, massage room, library, children’s playroom, concierge/tour desk, parking, laundry and car rental services.

Complimentary on-property Wi‑Fi and a 24-hour front desk. Free self-parking and roundtrip airport shuttle available for a surcharge.

On-site restaurant serves cooked-to-order breakfasts (for a fee) and meals for divers and families, while the poolside bar pours drinks between dives.
