Out of the Blue Resort — Restaurant in Puerto Galera

If you’re ever in Puerto Galera, you have to check out Out of the Blue. I stayed there recently, and it was one of those trips where everything just felt right. The villas are gorgeous—huge, comfy, and with the kind of views that make you just sit there, coffee in hand, doing nothing but staring at the ocean.

But the real highlight? The diving. They’re partnered with Action Divers, so everything is super smooth. I literally walked out of my room, got my gear sorted, and was underwater in no time. The dive sites here are insane—walls covered in colorful corals, schools of fish everywhere, and we even spotted a turtle just cruising along. The dive guides knew their stuff, too, so I felt totally safe the entire time.

And the food—man, I still think about the meals at The Verandah. After a long dive, sitting there with a cold drink and a plate of something delicious, watching the sunset? Perfect way to end the day.

Honestly, Out of the Blue just nails that balance of adventure and relaxation. If you ever want a mix of epic diving and a beautiful, laid-back place to...

The Out of the Blue team make me feel so welcome each time I come, and there's no better feeling!| |I first discovered Out of the Blue when my friends and I were backpacking around Asia and I just fell in love! The classic Mediterranean inspired architecture with traditional Filipino flare was something I found really unique, very welcoming and relaxing. I knew I had to make my way back - and I did! This time around, I went with my partner over Easter and we had an amazing time!| |The spa suite we stayed at was great, overlooking the pool and with a sea view. The in-house restaurant, The Verandah, is amazing, as always, with a huge variety of both familiar and new dishes we were excited to try. To top it all off, was the great hospitality and service shown to us by the team at OOTB. Always with a smile on their face and ready to help - they made everything so easy! Thanks to them, also, we were able to explore a bit more of the island and surrounding beaches and really immerse ourselves in our stay. So many great memories, ones we will be talking about for...

Absolutely cannot recommend this place highly enough. It's a litte further down the sea front but tucked away from the noise while still being right on the water. The room was immaculate and spacious, cleaned everyday and (surprisingly) mosquito-free. The resaurant offers fantastic food at a great price and the whole place has a family run vibe. And it's this that I rate so highly about the place. I was solo travelling over the Christmas holiday and the ladies that run the hotel were so so welcoming and friendly.They offered for me to join their Christmas dinner and kept breakfast open to me 15-20 minutes late so I could catch the 9am dive and still eat when I came back. They were all so lovely, it didn't feel like I was alone over the festive period. If I am ever to visit PG again, I'll 100% be staying at Out of the Blue. Thank you so much fo rhaving me and for all the...
