The Three P Beach Resort sits on the beachfront of Barangay Lonos on Romblon Island, seven kilometers south of Romblon Town near the Verde Island Passage. Named after the three brothers—Patrick, Peter, and Philip, the resort specializes in macro diving and underwater photography since 2009. With 12 rooms accommodating up to 24 guests, Three P operates as both resort and dive center with a house reef accessible directly from the beach.
The 12 rooms include three seafront bamboo cottages, two deluxe sea-facing rooms, and six superior rooms in the main building. All feature air conditioning, WiFi, mini-fridge, and private bathrooms. Photographer-friendly touches include large desks, drip mats, lamps, and multi-socket charging stations. The on-site restaurant serves American, Mediterranean, and pizza cuisine with vegetarian and vegan options. Half board and full board meal plans are available. Additional facilities include a private beach, garden terrace, room service, and tour desk. Non-diving activities include island hopping, night hiking, and historic tours.
The dive center partners with Ducks Diving Romblon and follows PADI, SDI, and SSI standards. Operations focus on macro and super-macro critter spotting with trained guides. Three package options accommodate different needs: Classic (up to 4 divers per guide), Superior (2 divers with dedicated spotter), and Professional (private one-on-one service).
The house reef features sandy areas, seagrass beds, tiger shrimp, mandarin fish, and marble shrimp. Boat trips reach sites like Bonbon Fan Coral Collection for pygmy seahorses and nudibranchs, and Lunas for muck diving with Wunderpus, flamboyant cuttlefish, and blue-ring octopus.
Black water dives run at night over the 200-meter Romblon pass. Diving operates year-round with main season November through June. Water temperatures range 26-30°C with visibility typically exceeding 20 meters.

The Three P suits macro photographers and critter enthusiasts seeking dedicated spotting assistance. The tiered dive packages work well for photographers who need unhurried time with subjects. Couples and solo travelers fit the intimate 24-guest capacity. Multilingual staff speak English, German, and Tagalog. The remote location requires longer travel from Manila but delivers uncrowded sites and endemic species. Those wanting nightlife or large resort amenities should consider other destinations.
