Whispering Palms Island Resort

This turned out to be very disappointing. I was looking forward to this resort out of all the places I was visiting in the Philippines. It turned out to be the worst. First, the room did not have A/C, no hot water and the bed was like a baby mattress! That’s just the beginning. They don’t take credit cards at the resort. The WiFi was terrible. I had to pay over $100 to get a room with A/C. The facilities were run down and out dated. The restaurant was nice but no A/C either. Felt like Castaway!! Hahaha. You are isolated so if you want to get away from everything, it’s for you. Be prepared for a sore back from the terrible mattress and horrible WiFi. I wouldn’t recommend this place.

I was at Whisper Palms for a 4 week quiet vacation with my wife. This resort is in an isolated Island in the Philippines which was perfect for us

The management maintain cleanliness of the resort.The food service is fast but a bit of expensive.Staff are very friendly and accomodating as well as the locals.What i like the most are the activities that are available for the family to enjoy ,to avoid boring ..The resorts amenities are good..But the only thing i don't like is the airconditioner on the number 14 room ..it doesn't work...my children are complaining because they are not comfortable because of the not working aircon. I hope you will fix this..But i'm highly recommended to my friends and relatives,,One of the best resort we've been stayed ..

Closes to early. Very quite ideal for families. No other aminities nearby. Excellent cheerful staff. No credit card access, no prior warning given!

It was a really good stay, but the check in time was different, Expedia listed check in at 11am but the actual check in time was 12pm, but the overall stay was very good 🙂

Friendly staff and beautiful place

GREAT PLACE AND FRIENDLY STAFF. FACILITIES VERY CLEAN

Great resort on a great island. The staff was very helpful. It is a really great place for families. The location, Sipaway Island, is an amazing place as well.

Very nice resort with nice accommodation & restaurant & bar with good food. Very friendly staff & manager

The place and accomodation are fantastic. We enjoyed a lot. It was a great experienced with the family. We hope to visit again soon.

Nice location and nice staff. Quite restful Place.

If you are used to pay w credit cards, forget this place. They don't accept them.. I had to make a boat trip n back to San Carlos to pick up some cash.. No ATM, no line on island..This is Philippines... Even one hour flight in the middle of Indian ocean, you can use cards ! And the paradox is that one does not use cash in resort.. no signature.. so when there is litigation it is a mess.. Staff is ok, except one person as pleasant as jail door when things don't go her way. Out of stock is common, mixed fruits the first day... and eggs the second day at breakfast...! Don't book the bungalow to expect more luxury : bungalow is only a 2 rooms space w living room. But it is standard comfort. Resort in the middle of nowhere. But bicycles are providedfor free. No nice beach and view is terrible at low tide. Snorkeling without interest in front of resort, no visibility and nothing to see. Disappointing...

Had an excellent time there. Very quiet and relaxing.

nice place, the only problem was that the public boat from San Carlos to Sipaway Island does not operate after 1600 h and the guys at the port asked for 700 peso for this 10 minute ride, which normally costs only 15 peso. When you arrive at the island you have to take a tricycle for 100 peso, that's OK. The resort is beautiful, nice staff, great bar, excellent food and not expensive. My room was with fan, which was OK it was not too hot. The WiFi was weak, sometimes I had no signal on the Globe mobile network, Can also rent bikes to explore the island. I will certainly come back.

It was relaxing and the view was amazing. The rooms are clean and they give a good service too.

I was so excited to stay at this resort Until I arrived. The management did not inform us about the pick up on arrival or how to get there. They did however offer this service to the other guests. I guess because I'm not German. I wanted to go snorkeling but I was told there is only one key to the dive shop and they were out. None ever came by to even ask if i still wanted to go. All of the properties activities are pay to play. (ridicules)! The price of the room is just that. Nothing is included. The meals were good but overpriced. In the end I spent more on food than the rest of the stay. One good note, the staff (not management) were extremely friendly and courteous! The local people are so genuine and nice, its a shame this resort had to be such a disappointment. They need to do maintenance on the entire facility. I was walking down the sidewalk and felt it crack under my feet. I has the potential to be such a nice place but it seems like a total lack of care the owner/management has toward the place. I would recommend a trip to sipaway island but stay at a different resort.

Wonder full Quiet friendly caring service Great food hard to improve on it and in such a emote and private location a masterpeice

The picture adverised or showed in the booking Portal is very decieving,there is no place to swim except to the Pool .. Its actually a Mangroves area full of sea Urchins and dead corals.

Very good food.very helpful and friendly.Cute baby monkey

The resort is beautiful and very peaceful, true eyecandy. Food is delicious. If someone wants a nice time away citylife,this place is the right place for it.
