Bontoc Seaview Guesthouse

The food and hospitality alone make this worth a stay of at least two nights, and the service is superb with great attention to detail. For diving or snorkeling, the stories and insight from conservationist and Pawikan King himself, Mr. Trono, make the trip worthwhile.

I came with a good friend who stays here regularly, and now I can't wait to return. The daily menu is based on what's fresh, and the food was fantastic; the service was excellent too. For diving, make sure you go with Jeorge. He's a dream dive master. What a find, a real diamond in the rough and a perfect dive resort.

The place has such a thoughtful, cared-for feel, and I love its whole aesthetic. You can tell they care about the ocean and nature. We were curious about the Bontoc-like look for ages, and it absolutely lived up to it. Jorge, Abby, and their family were so kind and accommodating that I felt like part of the family. The food was so good we kept asking for more, and they were generous with the extra helpings. Can't wait to book another stay. Thank you so much, Bontoc in Batangas! 💕💕💕

The meals were a standout, 10/10. Everything was fresh and imaginative, and I liked how the chef explained each dish. The dining and shared spaces feel like home. Our room was comfortable, clean, and nicely furnished; the bathroom was clean, stocked with toiletries, and had a heater. The staff were polite and looked after us so well. We only booked one night and wished we could extend. The diving instructor was first-rate and we really enjoyed the dive. Great choice for individuals, couples, or groups wanting a place to stay and try an intro dive. We had an awesome time and highly recommend it.
