A week after booking an offers was posted on the website, we asked about if we were eligible for the offer but wernt as we booked outside of promotion time, a good will gesture of wine and T-shirt was given though. If you are wanting to go out of season possibly wait closer the time to book so you can take advantage of the offers they may do.
The resort is 500m down a dirt track off the main road, you can get a tricycle from the resort to Robinsons mall for 350pesos or you can go to the main road and get a public tricycle for 20peso per person, we also bargained a private tricyle from the main road.
Resort has 2 pools which we didn’t use, looks like 1 for dive training and another recreational pool.
Grounds are kept clean and well manicured.
24 hour security to the resort.

Diving – Dauin is renowned for muck diving so dont expect many coral dives. The muck dives have plenty to see with a good variety on each dive, including a few wreck vehicles.. the house reef was a nice coral drift dive with plenty to see to.
My guide, Jun, was fantastic, very good at seeing tiny critters, tried hard to find what I wanted to see, very helpfull setting up equipment, friendly and funny to. He has been diving a while but still has the diving passion and still enjoys every dive!
The equipment used is still in OK condition, I only used the reg and BCD but had no problems with them.
Most dives are close by so transport is usually in a jeepny, the odd close dive like san migel or mainit are in a small transport boat.
The Apo island dive there was problems with the boat they hired, battery problems ment we were waiting about 40mins before we set off to Apo and was also an hour late comming back as the battery discharged again on the last dive, hopefully they use a different boat in the future or make sure all boats carry a spare in future.

Lodges – If you want a lodge with a sea view you need to choose 1,7,8 or 15. We were stayed in number 11 and i wouldnt reccomended this one. It backs onto the restaurant/bar so think it might be noisy during high season also your privacy is non existent here, the walk ways to the bar and restaurant split off here so a lot of human traffic passes you.
Room was clean, shower hot and bed was comfy.
A mini bar, laundry service, hair dryer and shampoo are all available in the rooms. A small TV also provided if you want a relaxing evening after a busy dive day.
I do like a safe in rooms but unfortunately there are none in rooms here.

Food/drinks – Food is very good here. The food was well prepared, tasty and a decent portion size. There is a good variety on offer with a very good selection that caters for vegetarians. Drinks also have a good selection from smoothies to flavoured beers and also the popular happy hour 2for1 cocktails that run from 16:30-18:30.

We stayed for 8 days and can give you a rough gide of price for your budget.
AC Room- 32000peso or $600
BCD and regulator hire, 9 dives at dauin, an apo day dive all with nitrox, your sanctuary charges and your underwater camera charges – 26500peso or $500
All our food and drinks 14000peso or $270
As you can see its great value!!
All staff were friendly enough but a special tanks(excuse the pun) goes to Jun, Rhanda and Adrian who excelled in customer engagement and made the whole experience a lot more fun!!
Overall liquid is a very nice place for you to use for your stay in Dauin! read less

Located in Dauin just 10 minutes from Dumaguete, the resort is at the end of a mostly paved narrow road. Reservation was done over the phone 4-5 days before. Booking confirmation at reception desk was fast and we were escorted to our cottage. With 15 cottages facing the sea in a U-formation, cottages 1, 7, 8 & 15 are the front cottages. Highly recommend you get any of these 4. The room is nicely sized, with a double bed and a rack with hangers. There are no cabinets, no mini refrigerator, no TV. Air conditioning is good, and for good measure, there is a ceiling fan. WiFi is free but spotty. The beach is lined with rocks so no swimming there. There are two pools, one for guests and another deep one (max 12 feet) for diving and scuba lessons There is a bar restaurant for lunch & dinner. Pizza we ordered was very good. But flies were buzzing and trying to steal our pizza. There is free complimentary breakfast (for checked in guests.) Choice of continental, American, healthy (granola) and Filipino. We ordered Filipino breakfast of Cebu pork longganisa, 2 fried eggs, garlic rice, a slice of pineapple. The sliced longganisa was so minuscule I jokingly told the waitress to go back to the kitchen as she forgot the longganisa. Anyway, it was good enough.

The cottage area is very quiet a night save for a gecko and insect sounds. There are also plenty of small flying biting insects.

In the bathroom, the Toilet is small and quite low and may be a problem for tall people. Shower has water heater but dispenser for shampoo was almost empty and body wash dispenser was empty. Apparently, these are not regularly checked. Save for a bath towel, there is no face or hand towel.

Though the resort caters to “divers” if one wants a quiet place for rest and relaxation, this resort is recommended

We had no plans and went to a couple of different dive reaorts enquiring about courses and accommodation. When arriving at Liquid the staff at the front desk were friendly and helpful and when we started talking about courses Jim came out from the office and spoke to us. He made us feel super comfortable and we knew this is where we would do our OW. He organised a driver to pick us up from where we were staying the next morning. The next day we met our instructor Aronne. An absolutely amazing instructor confident, professional and passionate. She was very thorough, clearly explained the topics and procedures and ensured to answer all questions and queries and we felt safe and comfortable at all times. All other staff and guides are extremely friendly and helpful. Sitting around the bar in the evenings feels like your with family, we made some great friends while at Liquid and highly recommend anyone who gets the chance to stay and dive with Liquid. The diving along the Dauin coast is absolutely amazing and we will be making a return trip.

The staff was super friendly, helpful, and well organised! We decided to take a refresher course because it had been a few years since we last went diving and Michelle was fantastic at walking us through everything, as well as taking us into the water. The following day we went to Apo Island for some dives – 100% worth it! I couldn’t believe all the coral and fish. The trip consisted of 3 dives and snacks + lunch – I’ve never experienced a dive experience like it!
The resort itself was great. Our room was large, had AC, and was just a 30 second walk from the ocean. Food at the resort was also delicious and I recommend the breakfast burrito for breakfast!
If we ever return to Dumaguete, we will definitely stay at Liquid again! read less
