Great resort if u like a peaceful life under a palm tree, on a beautiful beach. Lying in a hammock under the perfectly black night sky, canoeing and diving are the basic attractions. Not for party animals! :) the rooms are quite basic, but u have a big bathroom, aircon, comfortable beds and amazing seaview. So what else do u... More

I was part of a larger group of divers travelling to Ticao Island Resort in February. We boarded a Cebu Pacific flight just after midnight from Singapore to Manila and waited at the airport for about 3 hours before boarding the domestic flight to Legazpi. The baggage transfer from Manila to Legazpi was seamless and I would recommend using services... More

We went to Donsol to do the whale shark interaction and then to Ticao for some diving. Nice place. Quiet and relaxed. Good for chilling out. Good food. Closet place to stay if you want to dive Manta Bowl which I recommend for eager divers. Of course not guaranteed but we did see mantas on about 50% of the dives.... More

The staff picked us up from Donsol to Ticao Island Resort. And upon arriving Ticao, we were surprised by the warm welcome from the staff. They made us feel like right at home. The staff also remember our names and refer to it everytime they see us. The cabana that we stayed in was spacious and we love the sea... More

Although I've returned for a while, I feel its only fair to share my great experience with you about this lovely resort. I've been longing to see Manta again so I did some research on the internet and discovered here. I thought it would be great if I can also get to see Whale Shark in Donsol as well. I've... More

Our objective was to dive Manta Bowl in Ticao. We made arrangements for a 6 dive package with Ticao Island Resort. I must say the airline, airport and boat transfers were all in order. Even our one night stay in Legaspi with another hotel was all done with no hassle. Ticao Island Resort have very helpful staff, Comfortable and clean... More

Amazing island, superb staff and beach with lots of culture and wildlife. Stayed in budget room for 11 nights with my girlfriend because we couldn't leave. Thanks to the amazing dive staff GL and the excellent instructor Rico. I saw 8 whale sharks at Manta Bowl. Great diving at San Miguel island too. Lots of other things to do too.... More
