At Punta Ballo Beach, the sea is close enough to turn the walk back from the water into a matter of a few steps rather than a transport problem.

Easy Diving & Beach Resort is made for you if your ideal timetable involves the sea, a proper meal, and somewhere to sit without having to leave the property. The resort stands directly on the beachfront in Sipalay, with a garden, sun terrace, outdoor seating, and sea views built into several room choices.
The mood is straightforward rather than over-designed. You can move from your room to the shore, settle on a sun lounger, or retreat to the shared lounge and games room when the weather or your legs call time. A swimming pool, bar, restaurant, and on-site minimarket keep the useful parts of the day close at hand.
Couples have the option of a sea-view room with a super-king-size bed or a private balcony, while twin-bed bungalows suit two divers who prefer separate sleeping arrangements. Children of any age are welcome, so the resort also works for a family trip without turning the description into a parade of cartoon equipment.
You are in Sipalay, Philippines, with direct access to Punta Ballo Beach. The shoreline is only a few steps away, which matters when you are carrying nothing more ambitious than a towel, a book, and the energy required to reach the water. The resort also has a garden and outdoor areas for staying close to the coast without sitting on the beach all afternoon.
Sipalay’s city parks give you a reason to leave the resort when you fancy a change of scenery. Sipalay City Peoples Park is about 2 miles away, while Sipalay City Public Park is roughly 3.5 miles away. Bacuyangan Public Plaza is around 7 miles from the property.
For food and coffee beyond the resort, the nearby choices are in and around Sipalay rather than next door. R. Torita Kapehan is about 3.5 miles away, and restaurants including Kylas Restaurant, The Mixed Food Restaurant, and Pakals Bar and Grill are roughly 3.5 miles away. A car, hire car, or arranged shuttle will make these outings considerably less heroic.

The room choice changes the way you use the resort. A Standard Bungalow with Sea View gives two divers twin beds and a private outdoor area, while the Superior Queen Room with Sea View is the one to choose when sharing a large bed and looking out towards the water matters more than having separate mattresses. The Deluxe Double Room adds a balcony and a king-size bed for a couple who want outdoor space attached to the room.
Air conditioning is available for cooling down properly when the day has involved heat, salt, and several layers of kit. Fan-equipped accommodation is also available for you if you prefer a simpler room setup. Sea or garden views, plus a balcony, terrace, or patio depending on the room, give you somewhere to sit before dinner without borrowing a chair from the restaurant.
Each room has a private bathroom with a shower or bath, towels, toiletries, and a hairdryer. A mosquito net, clothes rack, and drying rack are useful small details in a tropical resort; the drying rack is for your clothes, not diving equipment. Daily housekeeping, a private entrance, and a socket beside the bed round out the practical side of the room.

The restaurant covers Italian, Mediterranean, seafood, and local cooking, giving you more useful variety than a menu built around one predictable resort theme. Seafood fits the setting, while Italian and Mediterranean dishes offer a familiar route back to dinner when you have spent enough time thinking about what is on your plate.
There is one bar and a snack bar, so you can order a drink or something lighter without turning every hunger pang into a full meal. Outdoor seating keeps the meal connected to the beachfront setting, and the restaurant also offers a child-friendly buffet and children’s meals.
Special-diet menus are available on request. Fruit and wine or champagne are also available, with the latter better suited to a slow evening than a rushed return from the water. Breakfast and the board arrangement are not part of the details here, so check the chosen accommodation conditions before you book if the morning meal needs to be built into your plans.

A swimming pool gives you a second piece of water for the hours when you have had enough of the sea but are not ready to sit indoors. Sun loungers and umbrellas are available around the wellness areas, while the sun terrace and garden offer quieter places to dry off, read, or conduct the serious post-dive business of deciding whether lunch comes before the nap.
The spa and wellness centre includes a relaxation area, foot bath, massage chair, body treatments, facial treatments, manicures, pedicures, waxing, and massage. Some treatments are available as spa packages. This is the useful sort of non-diving plan: your companion can book a treatment while you do very little, and both schedules remain intact.
For a more active afternoon, bicycles are available, with cycling, bike tours, walking tours, hiking, snorkelling, canoeing, archery, badminton, darts, and a games room among the options. Billiards is available too. Board games, puzzles, and a shared lounge with television cover the occasions when the tropical heat has defeated every ambitious plan.

Sipalay - Easy Diving, the hotel's own dive centre, affiliated with PADI, SSI. With the diving centre integrated into the resort, your route from breakfast to the day’s diving starts on site rather than with a transfer across Sipalay. That short walk is particularly welcome when the first decision of the morning is already difficult enough.
Easy Diving offers nitrox and night diving, giving you more ways to shape the day or add a dive when the light has gone. While the centre’s own page carries the operational detail for planning the diving itself.
Your room, the shore, and the departure point all sit within the same resort, which keeps the diving element firmly attached to the holiday rather than bolted on afterwards.
Sibulan Airport is about 100 miles away, so the journey is a serious part of the arrival plan rather than a quick hop. An airport shuttle and a general shuttle service are available through the resort, and car hire can also be arranged. Private parking is available on site, with no reservation needed.
Check-in starts from 14:00 and check-out runs until 12:00. You need to tell the property your expected arrival time in advance, which is sensible after a long transfer. A 24-hour front desk, private or express check-in and check-out, luggage storage, a tour desk, currency exchange, and wake-up service cover the practical edges of the stay.
Wi-Fi is available throughout the property. Laundry and dry cleaning are available, and packed lunches can be arranged for days when your schedule starts earlier than your appetite. Cash is an accepted payment method, so plan your spending accordingly. Children of any age are welcome; an extra bed can be requested for children aged seven and over, while cots are not available.
