Donsol – 14 hotels and places to stay

Set just footsteps away from Donsol Beach with its own private beach area, Vitton Resort offers an outdoor swimming pool and 2 dining options.

The place, the wonderful staff: Annie and her team at the reception, the restaurant with delicious food and very nice staff. I am sorry to give a 6 because for this price, you are waiting for more amenities in the room: No glass to clean your teeth, the shower is broken, no tissue box. My friend forgot his tooth brush: The guard was so sweet and helpful that he took his bike to get one in Donsol at night, asking nothing in return.. You should think that they would have a few toothbrushes available in stock, in case. NO bottle of water, no access to purified water. In many resorts in the Philippines, even 2 star, you have access to cold and hot water on a dispenser. I told Annie at the reception that if that hotel was not close from the Whale shark center, they would have no guests coming back! I would recommend to make an effort on amenities and when I come back, I will be happy to give a 10/10 to that hotel.

Boasting air-conditioned accommodation with a private pool, sea view and a terrace, Villa Kulintang is set in Donsol.

Villa Kulintang is hands down one of the most magical places we've ever stayed. From the moment we arrived by boat, we were blown away by the beauty and tranquility of the setting. The location is absolutely perfect – remote enough to feel like a true escape, yet Chris is happy to accommodate any requirement to go back to town or any other island. The villa itself is immaculate – clean, well-maintained, and beautifully designed. But what truly makes Villa Kulintang unforgettable is the incredible staff. Chris and Sylvia are absolute stars. Their warmth, kindness, and attention to every little detail made us feel right at home. They go above and beyond in every way to make your stay special – nothing is ever too much trouble. And the food... just wow. Every meal was a delicious, fresh, home-cooked masterpiece. Dining here felt like being spoiled by a private chef every day, because that is exactly what it is! If you're looking for somewhere truly special with world-class hospitality, stunning surroundings, and that extra something that makes a holiday unforgettable – Villa Kulintang is it. We can't wait to come back. Thank you Chris and Sylvia for everything!

Complete with free bikes and a garden, Donsol Aguluz Homestay is situated in Donsol, 45 km from Cagsawa Ruins and 44 km from Ibalong Centrum for Recreation.

It was a very lovely stay with very nice and helpful people! You really feel at home 🥰. The location is great to do the activities in Donsol but it's right across a karaoke bar which kind of kept us awake until midnight. The hostess is very friendly and offers a great breakfast (at additional cost but worth taking for sure).

Set within 45 km of Cagsawa Ruins and 44 km of Ibalong Centrum for Recreation in Donsol, Yana's Place offers accommodation with seating area and a kitchen.

The room was a pleasant surprise: modern, spotless, and outside a small kitchen fully stocked with utensils and a fridge. We opted for the non-fan room, and thanks to the rainy, cooler weather, it was totally fine. Hotter months? That might be a different story.

    I imagine that most people would stay due to proximity to the whale shark centre. Due to changes in the weather between December 2024 & March 2025 there have been 4 sightings only. Try to get a photograph of the sighting board from the whale shark centre before you book. No other real reason to visit unfortunately, victim of climate change.

    Butanding!!!!!! That's what Donsol is for.

    Butanding!!!!!! That's what Donsol is for. Oh for peace of mind at a beach resort too. But once you land you will be tempted to go for the whale shark viewing. When I say viewing, please remember that the best viewing is when you jump into the sea and not from the comfort of the boat. Even if you don't know how to swim, worry not they will give you snorkelling masks, life jacket and flippers. So you can jump into the open sea and earn bragging rights. Seeing these gentle giants is a privilege. Be sure you will be well taken care of by your Butanding Interaction Officer - who will accompany your group of 6 in a boat, and if you are in the water and are panicking, he will be your life-guard too and pluck you out and bring you back to the safety of the boat. Close to Donsol is the volcano Mt Mayon. Its so huge that when you go for your Butanding, while the spotter search for the elusive whale sharks, you can marvel at Mount Mayon rising up from the hinterland beyond. In fact the volcano in the background makes for an awesome pic on a clear day. However, I request Booking.com to try and sign up other resorts in Donsol also. I saw at least two other resorts which the Booking.com members should have as an option when they are planning their trip. One had better maintained rooms and the other had better food.

    The property is located exceptionally well on top of a hill of an island, hence only accessible by boat It is beautiful appointed in a European style The views from the property are amazing- and it is so quiet But the highlight must be the staff who took care of me incredibly well, nothing was too much; and the meals cooked by Chris were all delicious I have stayed in many 5 star Hotels around the world, but this is certainly something very special Thank you Chris and Team for an unforgettable experience
