What Guests Say About Their Stay

Overall a great experience! We were only there for 2 nights but it was probably enough because food and drinks are pretty pricey there. Glad breakfast was included. Staff is very friendly. Just a few odd things to point out: no bananas, mangoes, or fruits native to the area (only watermelon, pineapple and canned peaches) and no longanisa or toscino at breakfast. We’d come back!

From the welcome center to the boat transfer to the food to the friendliness of the staff (especially Lucky) to the performances to the cleanliness of the property and to the comfortability of the room, the entire stay was absolutely amazing! The property is well maintained, and they are constantly cleaning and upgrading the grounds. I highly recommend it to couples and even to families as they have activities for all ages. The food in the restaurants is a bit higher priced than expected, but aside from that everything else was spectacular!

The resort was clean, and the views were beautiful. However, one major disappointment was that guests are not allowed to swim at the beach after 6:00 PM. Since the weather during the day can be extremely hot, many people would prefer to enjoy the beach later in the evening when it’s cooler. The biggest letdown, though, was the food. During our two-night stay, we didn’t have a single meal that we truly enjoyed. The food was significantly overpriced, which I wouldn’t have minded if the quality had matched the price—but unfortunately, it didn’t. We even tried the resort’s fine dining restaurant, expecting a much better experience, but it was just as disappointing as the other restaurants on the property. If there’s one area the resort should prioritize improving, it’s the dining experience. Great food is an important part of any vacation, and unfortunately, it fell far short of expectations during our stay.

My family and I loved this resort and used almost all of their activities. The location, food, and service quality makes it a 10/10. Many activities to choose from, we did the banana boat, jet ski, pools and photo shoot with the clear canoe. It was a standalone Boracay! The staff is awesome, aside from taking your orders, they point out things to do to make your stay more enjoyable, where to take instagramable pics, offer breads to feed fish so they gather around you. They go above and beyond! We’ll definitely go back.

Rooms are in great condition. Very spacious and very high ceilings. The resort is very beautiful. Food is average for the price. The final day experience was not good at all. There seems to be so many people manning the concierge but no organization. Nobody seems to remember a very important instruction on the boat ride- to give the boat pass to the guard by the dock. This guard also failed to tell us about the boat pass. They transported us to the dock but not tell us that the boat ride was first come first served. When the boat arrived, it was logical for us to assume we could board the boat, the guard yelled at us and said it is first come first served!! They expected us to sit in there for another 2 hours to wait for the next boat. For a resort that is so expensive, why is the boat ride so disorganized? This is something that really needs improvement as it is the final experience.

The great: The facilities here are second-to-none, whether in the Philippines or almost anywhere around the world. Beautiful architecture, well maintained, clean, and well appointed. The pier is beautiful, and they have fast, high-quality, air-conditioned catamarans to transfer guests to and from Davao. We stayed in the Junior Suite, which is the entry-level room choice. I am 100% satisfied with the room appointments, furniture quality, bed comfort, bathroom functionality, and aesthetics. The view is fantastic from the balcony, and the air conditioning is great. Everything related to the room works properly and fits the decor. The room is very spacious with high ceilings and a nice ceiling fan. The staff is 100% fantastic and always friendly and outgoing. This is partly a Philippines thing, this is a country of friendly and happy people, but the staff here is even very friendly to each other, waving to peers when the opportunity presents itself. The food is generally fantastic, and there are multiple restaurants inside the resort. The BAD: 1. The internet is not good. Bandwidth is not adequate for volume of users. On the weekends it slows to almost a stop. 2. On our stay of 5 nights, 2 of the nights the bar was closed for private events. I feel I paid for use of the entire facility, and they denied access to a portion of it without my knowledge or agreement

Property is nice but not a lot of dining options. They should add a cafe with sandwiches and salad options if you want a lighter meal. My son broke a drinking glass inside the room and got charged $30 for it, outrageously expensive and I felt taken advantage of and robbed!
