Been to Dauin 2 times now, stayed at Eldorado last year, Mikes this year. Never heard about this kind of hidden fees, tipping or expensive bills.... By the way, Mike is from the U.S., Eldorado seems German owned. Service was absolutely top notch, from every employee.. We had to disappoint them a bit, since we have our own Dive guide,and he took care of all bookings for a,very fair price (yes, we are friends, all the way back to our Nitro cert. In 2011). Private guide, just us 3 in the water.... All diving with Harold 's, from his beach 10 minutes walk from Mike 's. .. There are fees for a lot of things in the Philippines, and if you are visiting for the first time, you may be surprised, but it's not that expensive... The Philippinos are very friendly and honest people, so much that we plan to retire there in the future... Paid less than 70 000 pesos for 12 days at Mikes, including food and drinks for 2.
