Blue Water Travel booked two of us for an 8 night stay at the El Galleon Resort and for diving at the associated Asia Divers in April 2014. We asked to stay in the budget accommodations at the El Galleon, and we found them comfortable, accessible, and a good value for our money. We had breakfast included in our package, and that was helpful. It was a nice buffet breakfast offered before the morning dives began with Asia Divers. For lunch and dinner, we sampled a variety of restaurants around the resort area.

I found the overall value of this package (lodging at El Galleon, diving with Asia Divers) outstanding. The marine life in Puerto Galera offers a great sampling of the diversity found in the Philippines, and it's easily accessible following a flight into Manila. Although Anilao offers greater macro opportunities, Puerto Galera offers more diversity, comfort, and accessibility.
