There are also several communal spaces where guests can sit back and relax while enjoying the view of the sprawling garden or the sea. For foodies, Café Sans Rival at The Henry is one of the city’s most known dining spots. 

Because Dumaguete is a perfect jump-off point for dive tours, the owner has also made sure to build an eight-foot dive pool and it’s currently the only resort in town to have one.
