    The resort has such a feel of serenity and isolation but only a 10 minute boat ride or 15-20 min walk to Coron town. The staff are super welcoming and there for anything you require. They went out of their way to get us to out boat tour on time and were so patient and understanding when we had issues with our cash card. I also appreciated that when sitting in the outside restaurant they had mozzie coils!!!! Perfect if you want some down time. Great pool, good menu and breakfast. 100% recommend

    I loved the stay in this Hotel on this small island, place is really quiet and comfortable at the same time, swimming pool was fantastic, food in the restaurant tasty, I already miss mango shakes so much (although I would recommend to have more non-alcoholic drinks in the menu), people were friendly, transfer to the hotel was smooth. I spent there really great, relaxing time, highly recommend it!

    It takes a bit of coordination to make sure you get the boat getting you back in town but then again relax and take the time to enjoy your holiday enjoying this quiet location.

    You will never want to leave this place! Private island with all the comfort you can want. We loved the location, the pool and the kindness of the staff helping us getting around and making our stay super comfortable. The AC room is large and comfy. The wifi works great. We recommend the banana pancakes which are killers. Very yummy!

    We could only give 5 stars to every question. Such a nice and friendly team. They made our experience so special. We enjoyed the free boat trips to the centre of Coron, the beautiful swimming pool, our very nice room with balcony. It is such a beautiful place with the nice lights, plants, flowers, trees...they really take care and are doing everything to give you an extraordinary experience were you feel so spoiled. Thank you soooo much. Madeleine and Monique

    Limited to one return boat ride a day to town - and only until 9.30pm with no additional fees and long waiting time for the boat, especially the latest ride back to the resort at night. No hot water for shower No dispensers for water available Mandatory 10% service charge on food and beverage

    Remote location nice Swimming pool nice considering you can't swim at the private beach due to box jelly fish during summer season The food is good and the restaurant is open until 10.30 pm although it is a little bit expensive Massage therapist in house is a nice touch Great geckos helping to keep the mosquitoes away

    An unexpected gem—beautiful, peaceful, with amazing staff and great amenities.

    Our only issue was the lack of information before check-in. For example, we booked a shuttle to take us from the airport to the pier, but we didn’t receive any details about where the driver would meet us, whether we should pay the driver directly or at the hotel, etc. Since we also needed to take the hotel boat to arrive, it would have been helpful to have more information prior to check-in.

    What a wonderful surprise! We were initially concerned because of some reviews we’d seen, but our experience was amazing. The place is beautiful—so quiet and peaceful, offering a completely different vibe from the city. The staff is very professional and helped us with all of our requests. The pool is stunning, they offer kayaks for free, the restaurant has great food options, and the view from our room was absolutely perfect. The hotel arranged a private boat for our tour, picking us up from the hotel pier, and we had the best day ever. The hotel boat is very punctual, and the staff is incredibly friendly. We had no issues at all.

    Great location. Enjoyed the boat ride from the resort to town and back. Loved the pool. Cottage was roomy. Very relaxing/quiet place. Very peaceful. Away form the hustle and bustle of the town. Great views. Bar/restaurant/food was awesome. Great bartenders and servers. Staff is very accomodating. Have I said great staff already? Because they are! Arlene, Pam, Beth, Jha and the guys that operated the boats, they are rockstars! Definitely going back again.
