Amazing stay

We had an amazing time at the Cauayan. We loved everything about it, the setting, the outstanding level of service, the nature surrounding it, the privacy. I particularly loved seeing turtles and baby sharks while snorkelling on the beach. We had two wonderful day trips to the nearby attractions and beauty spots and did some diving. Jeremiah deserves a special mention for making our trips even more enjoyable. We rarely go back to the same place, but the Cauayan might just become an exception.

Our stay at Cauayan was truly exceptional. The pre-arrival communication was smooth and efficient, and the airport transfer was seamless. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. They were particularly wonderful with our two young children, creating a welcoming and fun atmosphere that made our holiday truly special. The island itself is breathtaking, and our accommodation was perfect. Cauayan surpassed our expectations in every way, and we left feeling like we'd experienced a slice of paradise.

I wanted to share a few suggestions that may help enhance the overall experience for guests, especially those staying for multiple nights or who prefer non-water activities. While island hopping and hiking are wonderful offerings, incorporating additional on-site and land-based experiences can provide more variety and engagement. Some recommendations include: Non-Water On-Site Activities: • Pool Table / Billiards – Great for indoor entertainment during the evenings or rainy days. • Board Games & Card Sets – Readily available in the common lounge or for borrowing. • Foosball, Air Hockey, or Darts • Mini Library or Book Exchange Corner • Outdoor Movie Nights – Weekly or bi-weekly events can be a nice touch. • Local Cooking Classes or Cultural Demonstrations – Allow guests to immerse themselves in the local lifestyle. • Live Acoustic Music Nights – Especially during weekends or peak seasons. Land Tour Suggestions: • Cultural Village Visits – Showcase the local way of life, crafts, and traditions. • Farm or Garden Tours – If applicable, offer a chance to learn about local agriculture or herbal plants. • Scenic ATV or E-bike Rides – Explore nearby hills, forests, or viewpoints. • Sunset Viewing Spots – Organize land trips to the best sunset spots with refreshments. • Local Food Tours – Partner with nearby eateries or markets to offer guided tasting experiences. Adding even just a few of these could make a big difference in keeping guests entertained, especially dur
