Nice enough resort. Good snorkelling around the island. Black out curtains are needed for the rooms as the garden lighting is really bright. Food is ok. Good place for a couple of nights.

Very nice relaxing place to visit. Some of the most crystal clear and beautiful waters in the Philippines. Very nice infinity pool. Great snorkeling all around the island. Also decent hiking trail. Rooms are really nice, great views and very comfortable. A bit expensive but well worth it.

Super disappointing. Didn't deliver on promise

The website gives an inaccurate impression of the island. On the positive side, the staff were very friendly and helpful. On the negative side, I had to pay 3,500 PSP to get the boat from the mainland to the island. We had already arranged for a driver from the hotel to pick us up and get us to the mainland dock, but he didn't connect with the 2pm ferry, so we were left waiting until 4pm or pay. The whole island is infected with ants. They are everywhere, in the bathroom, the bedroom, the resturant. We paid for breakfast and dinner buffets. Neither were a buffet. Both were a very limited ala carte menu, and some of the items they had run out of. Beach is crushed coral, not sand. The hotel closed with 1 day to go on our booking due to Hurricane Kristine and made all the guests leave at 9am. This was a gross over reaction and I think was more of a commercial decision than a safety decision as there were few guests and probably not enough to make it profitable.

A nice resort, the pool area however is tired and run down and in need of renovation. We spent most of our time at the beach for this reason. Rooms are lovely and breakfast and dinner is great. Very overpriced compared to the rest of the Philippines - we paid US prices for a massage but got equally as good massages elsewhere in the Philippines for 5% of the price here

I didnt get offer with the membership! Also you cant really enjoy the island if you arrive later in the day because you have to leave to ride the last trip of the boat which is 4:30 pm. I think they should have A later boat too for the people who arrive late for the 2500 charge day tour!

The property has stunning views. The staff is very nice. The rooms are very spacious and nice. I saw a few people post about the rooms being out dated, ours was very modern. We had the private pool room and for $300 USD per night it was fair for the room that includes breakfast and dinner buffett. Unfortunately the food is absolutely terrible, ive had 2 and 3 star hotels around the Phillipines with much better food. The other negative would be the price of anything you buy. To give an example a can of coke is $5.50 USD, in comparison just down the road innthe same town, at a restaurant you can buy it for $0.50. We had a wedding on the main land and they only run boats back to the island 3 or 4 times a day. I said no problem I'll find a private fisherman to take us back after hours, they wont allow that, you must pay them $90 USD for the 9 minute boat ride. In comparison i had a local lined up that was happy to do it for $10. Another thing they need to address is the communication, they have a lunch buffett, they dont tell you it's not included or even tell you a price, but when you check out its $30 USD per person and they add it to your room. For comparison an all you can eat buffett style with much much better quality food 10 minutes away is $7. We definitely won't stay here again, we wont recommended this to any of our friends. If you're going to spend this kind of money in the Philippines you might as well go to Siargo or Palawan.

The restaurant staff was great — friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. The rest of the service felt pretty laid‑back, and getting assistance outside the restaurant wasn’t easy. The place itself is quiet and feels private, which is nice, but the food overall is just average with nothing particularly special. We visited the herb garden and the staff there were friendly and knowledgeable, which was a good experience. The biggest inconvenience is the layout. The check‑in counter is extremely far from the rooms. It’s manageable on arrival, but checking out is a hassle because you have to walk a long distance with your bags. They have a golf cart that could easily help guests get to the port, but it just sits in the garage instead of being used. Other than the few standout staff, the overall experience is just okay.
