    A really peaceful, relaxing place - accommodation, restaurant and pool are all good. Diving is the main reason we went and it is great - the dive sites themselves are beautiful, equipment good quality and the dive crew - instructor, dive masters and boatman are all excellent.

    The room was nice and the location was peaceful and nice. It is placed a bit distinct and requires a bit of travel to reach. However, we were prepared for this, why the accommodation reached our expectations.

    The safe in our room wasn’t functional and the door was a bit rickety. But otherwise everything was lovely.

    Excellent and friendly service. Such a relaxed and quiet atmosphere in beautiful surroundings. Great to spend a few days for some R&R.

    The resort is by nothing and it’s by it’s own island and it doesn’t say on the website that you have to take a boat on and off the island to get to other places.

    Absolutely great hospitality and amazing staff, very helpful staff. Room was great and clean and pool was very clean and fun. Has lots of chairs to relax.

    I didn’t like that I stayed only for less than a week

    An extremely clean, well maintenanced place. Staying here is like staying in paradise. There’s a new Billiard table, a lot of books, games, a clean pool and everywhere great view on the ocean. Also the massage is really good for the price. The diving staff is great aswell. They took their time with me, showed me a great world underwater.

    Nothing!

    Cabilao was absolute paradise! From the moment we arrived the staff were so kind and accommodating. The beach and view is just stunning! There were so many little extra touches to make our stay more special/comfortable. The food was excellent, and they were brilliant at catering to me as a vegan, even though it isn't common in the Philippines. Anything they weren't sure of they came to check which was very reassuring. The location is perfect and so remote. We always had the beach to ourselves. The owner Lucy was so kind and gave great recommendations and made us feel so welcome. We didn't dive but heard that it was fantastic with lots of sightings of sea turtles. We loved snorkelling and the pool area is fab. We had the best time and it was the perfect start to our Philippines trip, we didn't want to leave! We definitely want to return in the future! A special shout out to Mafette and Ivy who looked after us so well, but really all the staff were amazing. Thank you for the most incredible stay!! Lucy & Ethan x

    Everything was excellent.

    My visit to Cabilao Resort in the Philippines was an amazing experience in every way. The atmosphere was excellent and a big thank you to the reception staff, the restaurant staff, and to Sir Julien and Roni in Cabilao Divers Center. I was very happy with my visit to this resort and I hope to visit it again. The diving was an excellent experience, without a doubt.

    Some may critique that wifi does not reach (at least our) room. For us that was perfectly fine to wind down.

    Incredible value-for-price. Especially in low season. Top tier performance, extraordinary food and quality despite at times being almost the only guests. The diving nearby is excellent, very calm and friendly dive master. The restaurant is superb. Don't worry you can pay everything at the end as room charge with credit card. For us 4 days was the perfect time to experience all highlights at least once. The transfer package and bohol tour may be a little pricy, but took a lot of organizing load off our shoulders (and gets cheaper the bigger the group, it's a group price) so was absolutely worth it. If you stay in cebu/bohol I suggest you adjust your trip to be able to stay here.

    Everything was great

    The location is perfect. Highly recommended for those looking for relaxation and disconnect from the bustling routine of city dwelling. Everyone in the team was really kind and helpful. The short snorkeling trip was great - really amazing views of the marine life, super recommended for scuba and free diving. The food was great, everything was delicious. What really struck us from the place was the quietness and peaceful atmosphere we were immersed on during our stay. Totally worth it.

    At first the Resort organized a private transport from the port in Tagbilaran to the pier perfectly. At the pier there was a boat already waiting for us and it brought us to the Island Cabilao. The boat ride took around 20 minutes and we had a nice view on Bohol and also Cabilao. We saw a few fish jumping next to the boat. After we had arrived at the Resort beach we got a lovely welcoming with cold ice tea! The reception asked for our passport and did the check in by their own so that we could relax with our welcome drink. After the drink they showed us our rooms. The luggage had already been brought into our rooms The rooms are really cozy. A big bed, enough space for your clothes and of course aircon. The bathroom are okay. Small but enough and of course clean! They cleaned our rooms and bathrooms everyday. On the way to the rooms there is a tiny garden with beautiful local plants. The restaurant was also really good. A lot different meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Also good food options for vegetarians. There is not much to say about the location. It's a beautiful small island in the Philippines. Crystal clear water from turquoise to blue. What else do you want more? Stunning sun sets behind the mountains of cebu maybe? Or the chance to see dolphins with the first sunlight? Both is possible. We did an snorkeling trip and said to the boat captain that we want to see a turtle. The captain brought us to a site and after a few minutes snorkeling we saw a turtle. Thank you!! All in all I can't find anything which I didn't like. Maybe the beach is a bit small, but didn't bother us. All of the staff was amazing. They are really attentive, friendly and helpful. Thank you for the amazing time. I'm sure we will come back. I can highly recommend this Resort.
