Island View Beachfront Resort

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.

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.
