Wonderful dive resort with excellent staff, but has some important changes to make. We visited this resort in February 2023. We had a great stay with the staff and the accommodation and the diving. The resident, in-house dive instructor is incredibly helpful and has a knowledge about the wrecks and the resort, that is very rare to find. Their Divemaster was also really good. The kitchen staff prepare the best food. A great team. The Danish owner, Per, is also a great guy... If you catch him before 10 in the morning. After that, he starts drinking a strong local beer called 'Red Horse' and his mood quickly changes to paranoid and aggressive. He lets everyone know that he 'doesn't trust anyone'. Even his own family 😢 But the next morning, he forgets everything he has said and expects everyone else to! We noticed that most of his staff disappear between lunchtime and the evening, probably to avoid his increasing paranoia and bad mood. When he is drunk, he has absolutely ZERO management skills and instead shouts at his most loyal staff. He screams at them, in front of guests, calls them 'stupid ******' and it's unbelievable that anyone stays with him. We even saw him throw a dive mask at the dive instructor because the strap was broken! We would love to go back to Chindonan Dive Resort if he either isn't there or he changes his behavior. All of the guests there at the same time as us, talked about his bad attitude. Everyone said they will not go back if he is there. He will eventually destroy his business if he continues drinking all day and bullying his staff. The best people that work for him, will certainly leave him one day if he doesn't change. But even when that happens, he will probably not understand why and still blame everyone except himself. It's a great resort but it has a questionable future with an owner who tells anyone who will listen, that he is 'the boss'. He openly tells his staff 'you are here to serve me''. The staff there seem so afraid of making a mistake that they do nothing, because he lets everyone know that 'I do everything alone'. 'I have no support ' and 'I am alone'. He gets upset when staff do not do what he wants them to do but when they do anything at all, he complains that it isn't good enough! He doesn't know how to manage people except for shouting at them. Very sad to see. A beautiful resort, wonderful people but an owner that is risking everything by behaving so badly.

It's worth coming! This is the second time I have come to Palawan. The first time I lived in the town of Coron, this time I booked one island and one hotel. Sunlight deserves to be the number one resort on Colon Island. Due to the epidemic, the resort was closed for 2 months and reopened. I flew from Manila on the resort’s private jet on the fourth day of the reopening. At first, I used the resort’s private jet plus the package price of 3 nights to stay. Later, I really liked this resort island so much that I renewed my booking for 3 nights with Ctrip. Because of the new opening and the government's epidemic control, the hotel can only open 30% of the rooms. The resort saw me staying alone and directly upgraded me to a high-end water house! Everyone, you must live in a water house. It really kills ordinary rooms. The facilities of the water house are upgraded as a whole. The floor and balcony floor are all glass. You can directly see the corals and small fishes underwater. The resort occupies a small island with two large white sand beaches. You can see large corals and fish in the waters at the door. You can go to the coral garden with a banana boat. The hotel's service is very good, parking on call, the resort also has Chinese hot pot, Korean barbecue, Japanese cuisine, which really caters to different tastes, and a variety of live seafood. Five-star recommendation!
