I too have had the priveledge of staying with Atlantis, both in Puerto Galera and aslo in Dumaguete. My girlfriend and I stayed there a couple of years ago and reading your report brought back many happy memories.
I loved the diving, but my special memory is of the people at the resort and the care they took of us and the incredible friendliness of all the local population we came into contact with, and yes we too went to the Malatapay market, having roast pork for lunch; sadly we missed the guy with the banjo.
Thank you for such a well worded article, I will definitely be returning there some time soon.
