Ticao Altamar Boutique Resort

📍 Ticao Island, San Jacinto, Masbate3.8 (12 reviews, Tripadvisor)

The best-known place to stay on Ticao, and the one divers pick: an on-site dive shop (Big Fins), a private beach and a kitchen guests rate far above the room standard. Remote by design — you arrive by boat and the WiFi comes and goes.
