Fabulous resort. The staff were friendly, helped organise transfer there from the port, scooter rental and were generally lovely. The restaurant has excellent food. The beach view cabana was 100% worth it - felt so luxurious and was quiet and comfortable. Loved our stay here.

This hotel completely exceeded our expectations. The location is unbeatable — right on a beautiful stretch of beach with crystal-clear water and great for spotting turtles (we saw 4 whilst kayaking). The rooms were spotless and really comfortable, with everything you need for a relaxing stay. The staff were so friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had the best time. Every meal we had was delicious. It’s the kind of place that makes you instantly feel on holiday — peaceful, welcoming, and unforgettable. We honestly didn’t want to leave. Highly recommended!

Thus hotel is exceptional in all the right ways. The staff are all super friendly, Peter is an active owner who looks after his guests, and the grounds and position are all wonderful. As other guests have mentioned, the beach is not deep, and is mainly covered in high tide, but in low tide, you can walk to along it to the town, or the diving cave pool. The food is of a very high quality. I cannot rate this Hotel and the whole experience highly enough. The diving instructor, Hubert, and his wife Delphine, who is the yoga teacher, add hugely to the overall experience. It’s unlikely we will go back given it is an 18 hour trip from home, but if we are ever able to, we wouldn’t hesitate. Do visit.

Peace and quiet. Beautiful scenery, amazing experience.

Terrific grounds, delicious food very reasonably priced, beautiful pool, and very, very accommodating staff. Rooms were attractive and it was nice not to have a tv. Beach was very small; okay early in day. Not so later with low tide.

I have rarely seen a legitimately 10/10 hotel/resort but this is very much it, if you’re looking for what it offers. First off, this place is remote and some of the quietest I encountered in the Philippines (apart from the gecko sounds, I must add). It has amazing rooms, which are stylish, spacious and modern in their own way. It has its own restaurant where the food is overwhelmingly good. Some dishes are even excellent and definitely make up for the in part higher prices compared to other areas in the Philippines. The private beach access is convenient and adds to the relaxing and unbothered experience. If you’re up for it, you’ll experience a vast amount of sea wildlife right there only a couple of hundred meters in. In addition you’ll be able to relax on the premise by laying next to the well maintained pool or at other spots along the preserved plantation area. But what really stood out was the professionalism, friendliness and overall excellence of the staff. Everyday they not only tended to all our needs but sometimes even anticipated our desires it felt like, while still giving enough space. Jiar (not sure of the spelling) really stood out in providing everyday help and interesting snorkeling insights. He even made sure the kayakers are safe during their expedition. I hope that Peter, the owner, acknowledges that and understands the importance of that. In the end, the staff is really what stood out and the thing to come back for.

Small resort which is very quiet and relaxing. The sunsets are beautiful. The staff is friendly and helpful. There is an excellent scuba diving centre at the hotel, very practical.

Place is quite and peaceful and next to to beach. I like the atmosphere and staffs are great. I can’t say anything bad.

Island View was superb. Peter and his staff were welcoming and always had a smile. There was no reason to go anywhere else while we were there. Secluded and peaceful with amazing grounds and private beach. We will be going back!

Our Cabana is overlooking the Ocean side . Scenario is very nice .

Beautiful resort with friendly staff. Food too was excellent. We had a great time here. David Dodge

We had a wonderful 7 day stay at Island View Beachfront Resort. Peter was a great host and the staff were friendly and helpful. The customer service was exceptional. The property is set among beautifully maintained tropical gardens and our room looked out onto the beach. The atmosphere is very tranquil and serene which made for a very relaxing holiday. The Old Plantation Restaurant on site provided wonderful meals, drinks and service. Overall a memorable stay and would definitely recommend.

Cet hôtel reculé nous a grandement impressionné par la qualité des installations. Salle à manger de grande qualité, avec beaux matériel. Villa spacieuse avec douche extérieure (pour la villa supérieure avec vue). Nous avons grandement apprécié notre séjour. La route pour s'y rendre est plutôt difficile en raison des trous dans la route de terre. Nous recommandons de passer par la route qui arrive par l'Est.

Check in fast with a personal greeting by Peter the owner. Most if not all rooms have ocean view. Diving on site. Beach lounger’s. Excellent pool! Awesome staff! Personal in door and outdoor showers in cabanas. Would definitely return.

Excellent, one of the finest restaurants in the area!

If you're looking for tranquility, this is it!! An amazing hotel. Service is excellent, the rooms are clean and comfortable. Water heater and air conditioning work excellent. The staff goes above and beyond. The Old Plantation restaurant at the hotel is excellent. Fresh ingredients and gorgeous scenery. We flew into TAG and rented a car since the hotel is 2.5hrs away, but it is worth every minute. If you desire busy and bustling beach board walk this might not be for you, since its wonderfully secluded. Also, if you're wanting a full beach swimming experience, this one might not be for you. The beach is shallow which is common for the majority of the Bohol coastline. The hotel handsomely compensates for its virgin beaches with a beautiful infinity pool. The hotel only accomodates a handfull of guests, which adds to the tranquil environment. The only thing that suffered was the internet signal (data and wifi) in our room, but both can be accessed in the restaurant. Would recommend this to all my family and friends

The view and fall right out onto the beach

I have never rated a facility a 10....until now. The staff was far past excellent, there are no words for the level of service given to us. If you cannot totally relax here, you are most likely clinically dead. It is a 2-hour drive from the airport, and the beach is wonderful for us, but many most likely would not call this a beach. We loved the walk to the local town beach at low tide, great walk and well worth the trip, with many dining options available there. Our chef was world class, I am still in shock that she was not trained in some high-class culinary institute, but in fact is a local Filipina chef. Every different item we had were fabulous. the grounds were fantastic and recommend climbing the on-site tower for a breathtaking view. I cannot compliment this resort any higher, if you know how to chill...this is your place, period!

The road to the property is so bad.

The most friendly staff I met in the Philippines in 25 years. Thanks also to Peter
