A colourful shot of a Coleman shrimp to start off 2023. Thanks to Hanno Jansen who has been coming to El Galleon for many years now for this sparkly image to bring in the new year. We always look forward to seeing him here and keeping up with his many adventures.
Anticipation was at its peak as the kids started lining up very early awaiting for Santa to arrive. For the 29th year in a row at El Galleon Santa travelled across the globe to Puerto Galera to give Christmas gifts to the local kids. Hundreds of kids showed up, all super excited that Santa was there to deliver presents along with a snack to fill up their tummies afterwards.
Year after year Antoine, Toto and the whole team really outdo themselves with a delicious menu prepared for the festivities. It was a wonderful night of good friends and family, and special times at our Christmas Eve dinner. So nice to get Antoine out of retirement to come in and prepare it along with our awesome team once again.
So great to see Chris and Julie back again….Their journey together started here many years ago. It’s been a fun family and friends holiday this time for the Hoare and Sallons families and with new friend Paul.
The whole team was well prepared for Christmas dinner in their lovely new uniforms, which will soon be available for purchase in the dive shop.
2022 left us and 2023 arrived with a fantastic dinner, fun times in the Point Bar and a spectacular fireworks display
Happy new year from everyone here at El Gal! Check out our new thresher uniforms…NICE!! Soon to be on sale in the dive shop.
Whats been happening
Check out our new cozy lounge area. A great location to hang out, read a book, do some computer stuff or just chill and watch TV…and it happens to be situated right beside our wine fridge. How convenient!
