Whalesharks galore!

Posted on December 16th, 2011 in Resort Life by Mike

 

Recently we have been having the pleasure of the company of up to 6 whalesharks that have been hanging around near Sumilon Island. It has been an amazing experience for all as the whale sharks swim around you. Hopefully they will stick around a bit longer and we will get to see them again.

The Adventure Dive boat is back and we can hardly recognize her! She has become a beautiful dive boat with loads of space and comfort for the perfect dive along Dauin Beach or Apo Island. Hope to see you all soon at Mike’s Dauin Beach Resort for diving and relaxing on the brand new Adventure Dive boat.

“What an great new place”

5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 1, 2011

This is my 5th trip to dive n the Philippines, always going to a different place. This is, by far, the best accomodation/food/diving I’ve experienced in this country. From the first email I felt welcomed and comfortable with what I was going to experience. Pulling into the resort from the small road was amazing. Right away, the place was classy. With 8 guest rooms in the main building, it was cozy. The outside looked top notch and the rooms were absolutely great. The bathroom was first class, wi-fi that always worked, great details in the room and the restaurant/bar area served great food, both American and Filipino with fair prices all around. The dive staff was great and they spotted all the critters for us. Big comfy boat and attentive staff. Mike and his family live on site, so there was definately a friendly atmosphere around the place the whole time, and he really looked after our needs and made our stay great. This is truly the best place I’ve stayed in the Philippines, and will be back next year for sure.

Thank you guys for such a great review it was a pleasure having you stay with us, hope to see you again soon.
Take care

Mike and JoeAnn

Adventure Dive boat stripped back to the essentials!

Posted on July 25th, 2011 in Resort Life by Mike

As you will see from the pictures the Adventure Dive boat is getting a major over-haul. She has been stripped back to the minimum and will pretty much be a new boat. Fingers crossed she will be back in the water for September.


Apo Island School gets some supplies

Posted on July 24th, 2011 in Resort Life by Mike

A special thanks to Hans Hess for his very generous contribution which allowed us to meet the full materials requirements of Apo Island school at the beginning of the school year.

Apo Island school has an ongoing need for educational materials which we, here at Mike’s Dauin Beach Resort, have been supporting for several years now.

If you would like to help out with this please contact us via email at info@mikes-beachresort.com

Message from Hans

Hi Hilary and Mike, 

nice to hear from you and well done with the school supplies. Anything that
helps to kids to learn is an investment in a better future: better jobs, more
environmental actions, more happiness.
All my best from a rainy spot in eastern France

Hans  .....hoping to return next year to you

The family is on the move!

Posted on March 31st, 2011 in Resort Life by Mike

The kids are getting bigger and a bit more boisterous! It is time to move a little further away from the resort.

The once upon a time pump house, located beside the resort entrance, is currently being converted into a spacious family home for Mike, Joeann and the kids.

Progress is slowly, slowly but by April the Feeney family should have a place they can call home and room # 4 will finally become what it is meant to be, a comfortable haven for tired divers!

Congratulations to EunJae!

EunJae Im our talented return photographer guest, was recently awarded a place position in an underwater photography competition. The photo of a garden eel is amazing considering how difficult it is to get close to these shy creatures. Congratulations to you EunJae on your success.
