Capt'n Greggs Dive Resort

The hotel’s location is quite good👌, but my room, Room 6, was on the ground floor next to the kitchen and a public restroom. This meant there was a lot of dirt and grime around the room, and cleaning equipment was placed right in front of my door. In the morning, I woke up to find piles of used towels and bedsheets left outside my room. The room’s amenities were old and dusty, and the bathroom window was covered in grease from the kitchen’s exhaust vent. Some areas inside the room had exposed water pipes, which caused loud water noises. Additionally, the room was extremely noisy at night—I am not exaggerating. Party music, people screaming, and cheering went on until 3 AM. I have no idea how this hotel got an 8.1 rating on Agoda. To be honest, this wasn’t even a proper room—it felt like a converted storage space. Strongly not recommended.

Accommodation: I stayed for 8 nights and had a fantastic experience! The room was excellent — clean bedsheets and linens (which I’m very particular about as someone with mysophobia — I even bring my own bedbug spray). The bathroom was spacious and met my cleanliness standards. I especially appreciated the multiple hanger rods, which were perfect for drying my diving stuff after each day. There was also ample storage space for all my belongings. The housekeeping staff were incredibly friendly — even remembered my name and always checked if I needed any assistance. Diving: Huge shoutout to the incredible dive team — Kexia, Ruby, and Mark! Kexia and Ruby are experts at spotting the little stuff, making every dive a treasure hunt. Mark brought a fun and calming presence underwater, making each dive feel peaceful and enjoyable. Important Note: They accept credit card payments with a 5% surcharge and GCash payments with a 3.5% surcharge. However, GCash only works via QR code scanning, which didn’t work for us as foreigners trying to use GCash via the Wise app. All in all, I truly appreciated every special moment spent here and will definitely be coming back!

Room and Location Hotel is perfectly located, clean and we paid a fair price. Service I once ordered Breakfast and the Sausage was raw inside. Personally, I think it's better to offer a smaller Menu. I saw a lot of half eaten plates going back to the kitchen. Also we couldn't turn on the TV in our room. We let the Service know about the issue but never received an answer.

Amazing place to stay for a diving vacation. Really good room / dive packages and very responsive to both WhatsApp and Facebook messenger. Helped me with transport info from Manila as well. The boat crew is lovely and very helpful with changing tanks and getting your gear on, you even get hot towels when you get out of the water and free soup and showers at the shop. Will be back, thank you to everyone 🙏

Good location, spacious room, staff were helpful. For the dive shop, good equipment, nice and kind dive guides and reasonable dive rates.

You won't find a more characterful and fun place to stay in the Philippines. Happy staff, great drinks, awesome diving.

My wife and I just completed a 10 day holiday at Capn' Greg's. The Philippines was the 19th country we have SCUBA dived in and the 57th country we have visited. We LOVED the entire stay at Capn' Gregs. Chuck made it very easy. We contacted him for transportation from Manila to the resort. Everything was handled. A very nice van picked us up at our airport hotel and dropped us at the ferry terminal at Batangas. We purchased our ferry tickets to Puerta Galera at the terminal and it was an easy 1 hour ride to Puerta Galera. The resort is very nice!! Centrally located right on the water in PG and right in the middle of town. The thing we liked the most was the ease of staying at Capn' Gregs. Our room was on the 3rd floor. The restaurant was on the 2nd floor. And the dive shop was on the 1st floor. It could not be any easier!! The rooms: They are basic but very clean and well maintained. The room we stayed in had a small balcony and was ocean facing. This isn't a luxury room. But the bed was comfortable, the air conditioning was cold, and the shower was hot!!! We don't need more than that on a dive trip. The meals: The restaurant at Capn' Gregs is excellent!!!! Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all served there and each meal offered lots of choices. The quality and service were top notch! The prices and value were excellent as well! The dive operation: Was the best! All the equipment was new and well maintained. The shop was clean and organized. The operations were were well run and there was 100% emphasis on safety and communication. Each dive was briefed in detail. Every tank of Nitrox was measured. And question or concern we had was answered. We had Ruby, Keizha, and Jay all took turns guiding. All of them were exceptional. Make sure you sign up for a day at Verde Island!!! It is worth it All in all we loved Capn Gregs for its ease and convenience. The value was excellent. The experience was fantastic as well. We would 100% return and hope we have the opportunity to do it. Don't hesitate...book with Capn' Gregs for a great dive vacation in Puerto Galera.

I stayed in Puerto Galera a few days to join the Puerto Galera hash and dive. Chuck, the owner, and Leidy, the manager were fantastic and welcoming. The food was good and well priced. Especially, the nightly grill and side dishes. On the diving side Jay was an excellent knowledgeable head guide? and Kexia, Ruby, and Rommel were all incredibly friendly, talented, knowledgeable, and safe divers. I'd highly recommend going here for diving in Puerto Galera.
