It’s a small piece of paradise! Really liked the infinity pool facing the sea, with a tree in the middle. It’s really peaceful. Staff is great also. A few mishaps with the transportation back and forth. Just set the rate and apply it consistently.

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.

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 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.

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!

Lots of activites to do like trekking, kayak and biking. Had fun doing the bike trail. Food is delicious and worth the spend. I especially love the sand bar and infinity pool. Will definitely book and stay longer on the next visit.
