Atmosphere Resorts & Spa: a Luxurious & Eco-Friendly Retreat
Our experience at Atmosphere Resorts & Spa
Whenever we travel, it has become a tradition for us to cap our adventure with an overnight stay in a luxury hotel or resort. It's the perfect way to cap a week filled with activities.

And since we were celebrating our 3rd wedding anniversary, we wanted to splurge in a hotel that was special but worth its price. Atmosphere Resorts
& Spa was our choice and we couldn't be happier with our decision.
About Atmosphere Resorts & Spa
Atmosphere Resorts & Spa is located in Barangay Dauin in Negros Oriental and is about 40 minutes away from Dumaguete City. Situated in the heart of a
coconut plantation, Atmosphere Resorts & Spa is a sprawling and lush property that is nicely secluded from the outside world.
Our room
The check-in process at Atmosphere was a breeze so we wasted no time and immediately went to our Deluxe Suite Room. We had a good impression of our accommodation; it was like a bohemian beach house.
 |
| Deluxe Suite Room |
It had a high ceiling with a plush, comfortable bed located in the middle of the room. It had glass doors and windows covered by white curtains which you may opt to draw to let natural light in.
The Deluxe Suite Room is more than adequate for two people. In fact, an additional bed may be added upon request.
It had all the usual amenities such as a minibar and a widescreen TV but perhaps the most distinct feature of the room was the open-air shower. It is located at the back of the room and fenced high with a bamboo wall.
 |
| Shower area |
Not too comfortable with showering out in the open? Don’t worry; the bamboo fence is woven tight so nobody can see you as you indulge in a revitalizing shower.
Green movement
One of Atmosphere Resorts & Spa's advocacies is environmental conservation and this is very evident with the lack of disposable plastic bottles and containers inside the room. What you'll see are reusable ceramic pumps for the shower gel, shampoo, and lotion.
 |
| Exploring Atmosphere Resorts & Spa |
These toiletries are sourced locally in Negros Oriental and are certified eco-friendly. We are never particular when it comes to bath amenities but we
do love the lemongrass scent and slightly cooling mint sensation of Atmosphere
Resorts & Spa's bath products.
Meanwhile, drinking water is held in a refillable dispenser. And if you want
to bring water with you as you stroll around the property, the hotel provides
a glass bottle that you can use.

Dining at Atmosphere Resorts & Spa
At
Atmosphere Resorts & Spa's Breeze Restaurant, you may enjoy your meals to the soothing sound of the waves and the calming sea breeze. Aside from the regular food offerings in its menu, Atmosphere Resorts & Spa offers healthy food options for guilt-free dining.
 |
| Enjoying our lunch |
Our accommodation package came with a complimentary breakfast for two. It's not the usual buffet breakfast though because food is not laid out at the table where everyone can just take their food. You'll have to order breakfast food, which you can find on the Atmosphere's menu.
 |
| Breakfast buffet |
According to one of the servers, that method was to avoid wasting leftover food which we thought was indeed a wise thing to do. In most buffet meals. you really can observe a lot of food wastage.
Nonetheless, coffee, juices, pieces of bread and cheeses, cereals, and mini sandwiches
are available at the buffet table so you are free to get as much as you can
consume while waiting for the mains to arrive.
We ordered Spanish and Atmosphere omelets. We also got Filipino breakfast with tapa, bangus belly, corned beef, and eggs. We also requested a sausage plate with hash brown and a continental breakfast plate with waffles and bacon.
 |
| Cereal and bread station |
All Filipino breakfast plates come with eggs and rice but you may customize these by omitting the eggs and rice. So for a plate, you can have tapa and longganisa, for example, and just have a single egg and no rice.
Since our orders were quite hefty already, we just asked for a single cup of rice. While waiting for our orders, we helped ourselves to slices of Emmental,
Camembert, and cheddar cheeses as well as pieces of salami and pastrami.
This power breakfast is so heavy, it’s enough to fuel you until dinner or if you are doing any heavy physical activity.
For lunch, one may choose from any of the Atmosphere's signature dishes. Since we
had a heavy breakfast, we only opted for a light lunch of Aglio Olio Pasta and
Crispy Asian Noodles with Chicken Sate.
The pasta was good but we liked the crispy noodles even more because of its crunch and variety of flavors. The servings were big and good enough for two people.
 |
| Dinner date |
During our anniversary night, we booked a table at the Ocean Restaurant. The restaurant is likewise perfect for romantic dinner dates with candle lights that provide a warm, soft glow to the surroundings. You may opt to order from their standard menu or specials for the night.
We ordered Pork Adobo and Pork Bicol Express (there’s a version that uses chicken instead of pork). Both had huge portions; good enough for three people.
The Pork Adobo was a little sweet like humba. The Pork Bicol Express,
meanwhile, was mildly spicy and made even more savory with the full, creamy flavor of coconut milk. Between, the two we enjoyed the Pork Bicol Express even more although the Pork Adobo was also no doubt scrumptious.

Most ingredients that Atmosphere uses for its food are sourced locally or from locations very near the resort. Milk is bought from local farmers while fish is sourced from local fishermen to ensure freshness and, of course, to provide sustainable livelihood to the people around the community.
Things to do at Atmosphere Resorts & Spa
A day at Atmosphere Resorts & Spa is not enough to fully experience what it
has to offer. But here are a few things that you can do at Atmosphere:
1. Enjoy the swimming pool
There are two swimming pools inside the property that you can enjoy throughout the day. The one beside the pool bar is used for dive training, being
9-feet. in its deepest section.
 |
| Enjoying the swimming pool |
Be extra cautious while swimming though as there were no lifeguards on duty.
2. Have a yoga session at the treehouse
Sign up for a yoga session and enjoy the sound of the calming waves as you find
your center at the treehouse.
 |
| The treehouse |
Aside from being a yoga session venue, the treehouse also transforms into a
fine-dining spot where couples can have a romantic dinner with a view of the ocean. The treehouse can accommodate a maximum of 10 guests only.
3. Have a massage or pampering session at The Sanctuary
The Sanctuary, Atmosphere Resorts & Spa's in-house wellness center, offers a
variety of wellness treats like massages and nail treatments.
 |
| The Sanctuary |
 |
| Waiting for our complimentary head massage |
We took advantage of our
10-minute complimentary head massage here and the hands of the expert therapists
worked wonders.
4. Learn how to dive
Diving lessons for adults and kids are available at the Atmosphere Resorts
& Spa, courtesy of PADI-licensed instructors. For more information, you may check here.
5. Enjoy the Happy Hour at the Poolside Bar
Happy Hour at the poolside bar is from 5:00PM to 6:00PM daily. During this period, you may get two drinks for the price of one. We availed of our complimentary drinks as we enjoyed a serving of fried mozzarella sticks and live acoustic music.
 |
| The poolside bar |
Unfortunately, the beach at Atmosphere Resorts & Spa is rocky and the waves are strong so swimming at the beach is not a good idea.
You may,
however, arrange a trip to the nearby Apo Island which offers amazing beaches and good snorkeling sites. Along the fringes of the resort’s shore is a fish sanctuary when one may arrange for snorkeling activity.
Epilogue
We stayed for only a night but it was already an unforgettable experience. It
was hard to leave this beautiful place, so given another chance, we would
definitely come back to Atmosphere Resorts & Spa.
