Loved Slams so much. Really dialed in place, all the way from the staff, to the location, to the food. (Every meal off the lunch dinner menu was unreal).
Super clean. Quiet. Peaceful. Kind staff. Dive shop on site. Bar and restaurant on site. Wifi worked perfect. AC worked perfect. They have some solar lighting outside. Bug zappers. Outdoor fans. Filtered water and ice. Amazing pool. Can’t say enough good things. We will miss this place.

Hotel with a good location
Well-situated hotel 5 mins away from the jetty. Rooms were big but not well equipped. Cleanliness was expected of a dive resort but could have been better. Bottled water was not provided and had to be paid for at the reception counter from a dispenser.
Staff were very friendly and accomodating and pool was clean

We were very happy with our stay at Slams. Friendly staff, spotless rooms, good breakfast and a great and very useable swimming pool. We also dived with their dive centre, they have a large comfy boat and great boat crew, very happy with our guides, Jay and Jino and they offer very good rates. Not a criticism but 2 things I would change are, I would add more pool loungers and swap the existing ones for ones with adjustable backs and also while there was plenty of hot water, the shower head was useless and had to removed from the cradle and hand held to get wet.

Decent place, with nice staff. Great value.
Perfectly acceptable hotel with a pool, large rooms and a restaurant.
Pluses: Huge room with a separate toilet and shower room. Large beds with comfortable mattresses and decent pillows. Decent sized pool. On site restaurant. Close to the pier.
Minuses: No fruit for breakfast. Pool very deep very quickly with no ledge to stand on so everyone gathers in one small corner. You need to pay for drinking water, Dive centre can be noisy early morning. Restaurant did not serve any fresh food, everything seemed to be out of a packet.

Nice good size refrigerator in room, good aircon, hot water, nice bed, great pool. No complaints. Grounds were pretty and immaculate. Only had breakfast in the restaurant because it came free with our room. It was ok. Can't speak on the rest of the menu. Dove with another scuba shop because a friends brother works there. So can't speak to that either, but the shop looked clean and organized with nice dunk tanks for your gear.

This resort is the only property with a relaxing pool located in private, gated area close to the pier and market. Be aware this resort is not along the white sandy beach where all the resorts are lined up.
The rooms are huge but make sure you choose the Aircon rate or else you’ll just get a fan in your room which would not be enough for some to get comfy. Wifi is strong inside the resort as the cell tower is just behind the property.
The Ocean Passion Dive Center offers daily trip to see the Tresher Sharks and Gato Island. Dive staff are all very friendly and will take care of your gears.
Food at the restaurant is outstanding. Free Continental breakfast with a variety of choices.
Lastly, bring CASH. Credit card payments may entail additional fees.

Had a great stay at Slam Resort! The staff were super friendly, check-in was smooth, and we even got free juice on arrival. We upgraded to an aircon room the next day with free breakfast and coffee, worth it! The place is very clean and accommodating. Only suggestion is maybe add a TV in the room. Even though it rained in the afternoon and night, our stay was excellent because of the warm and friendly staff. Highly recommend!
