Apart from the long climbing stairs, the Resort is very well managed with an efficient staff who are charming and service oriented. The breakfast was really good and the F&B exceeded my expectations. The dive operation was professionally executed.

The bed mattresses should, in my opinion, have been upgraded as they are not comfortable for a somewhat older man at 95kg. They did, however, give me an extra mattress that made me more comfortable. I experienced the best mattress in Philppines on another resort. Brand was 100% Dewfoam, 6" ,rubberinfused, printed, at 3500php for an individual bed. Highly recommended Philippine product. I would have appreciated a small desk and chiar in the room. There was no water in the room, however free water when ordering food in the restaurant. No fridge and water kettle in the room were to be expected as their strategy is to have guests consume refreshments and food in the restaurant. Also, there was no TV, but the wifi worked very well from the room, and even down on the beach so we could stream movies to our Tablet. I think the strategy of the resort serves the owners and the guests very well. Less insect problem in rooms, less staff requirement and hence good value for money.

Very good value for money. Not a new shiny 3-star accommodation, but a quiet and well maintained and managed place with a 4 star location. Comfortable beach beds where you can find shadow beneath the large parasols or the leaves of the immense tree canopies all day if you appreciate that. There is something magic about looking straight out to a clear blue sea horizon that covers all of your 170-degree angle of vision, while your skin is gently stroked by the sea breeze. At high tide, you can swim 100 meters to find a large coral reef with good visibility and teaming with life. And we had a private boat that took us to an even greater coral reef sanctuary where we saw a turtle while snorkling. 3 hour boat trip for two and we payed modest 1900php. It is a place primarily for diving, but it is excellent also if you have a companion that would just like to relax with a serene view from the beach while you are having some diving trips. The food and drinks were served from a nice restaurant, beach front, with a nice vibe. - Generally very enjoyable, somewhat pricy, and not the biggest menu we have seen, but that should be expected on a somewhat remote place like this. We complained that we experienced some dishes to be too salty for our taste. We had an accommodation furthest up the hill and counted 75 steps down to the restaurant. Some guests have complained about this. Steps are maybe 15% higher than standard steps. Some will find that inconvenient. We did, however, appreciate the exercise 3 or 4 times a day as we enjoy regular exercise and there is no gym in the resort. The stairs are shaded by a beautiful canopy. Probably, I am in a somewhat better shape than most my age. I am 70 y.o. The room was spacious with a nice terrace with sea view between the trees.

First of all no way that you could go out to look for food since no shuttle service, no intercom, need to go down all the way steps to reach reception almost 70 steps one way.it makes us tired not many choices food. Thanks

There are many, many steps to climb to get to and from the rooms and the beach. I would not recommend for people with mobility issues.

The area was absolutely beautiful! They had many activities available to do such as diving, snorkeling, archery and even offered massages.

Alot of mosquitoes, although they provided us with the coil and that somehow aleviates the experience. But the stairs from the parking lot requires alot of effort and too steep, but i guess that is expected with the geography.

I really like the amenities and the staff were really great!!!

The resort is best suited for divers and not families. There is not a pool ( which I knew before ) and they do not allow any outside food or beverages, so not the best idea for budget minded families. Otherwise, it’s very beautiful.

The beach was great and the staff was very friendly. Food is awesome also.

It just difficult climbing up and down going to the room and Resto. I wanted to bring my mom but its not fit for senior citizens

I super like staying by the beach laying by their beach beds.

Restaurant a bit expensive. Only resort during this Philippines trip where we had to pay for water from the dispenser.

Spacious rooms, nice restaurant with good food and extremely friendly staff. Excellent dive center with lots of boats and dive guides. Even if they have big groups of divers, they take care very well of their individual guests.

Some of the basic rooms are dark, but that’s not really a problem as they have a terrace with a view on the beach. The bathrooms could use a little upgrade. The offer of a water bottle would have been a nice plus, you’ll have to bring your own despite the sign at the entrance not allowing any food and beverages in the resort, which seems to be directed towards daytime visitors, a fridge doesn’t exist in the rooms. During our stay the tide was so low in the daytime that you would have to go out about 50 m with shoes in the shallow water to reach a depth where you could actually swim.

The diving offer was great and the instructors were very capable and considerate. The food in the hotel was very good, too. Also the bay offers a beautiful and relaxing view. The sand is white the water clean and there were literally no waves during the whole stay. The resort is nicely made, like a little town with a clear fresh water river running through and many little houses with the rooms the reception desk the dive shop, restaurant and others scattered around.

No bidet. I think this facility is not ready for international customers. The room is too high, and we have to take many steps to get to it. I am 62 years of age and I really did not expect this. No phone operator. So I have to go down and up the steps just to ask the reception a question. No room service. So, we have to eat at the restaurant downstairs, which we dreaded going up to the room.

I liked the beach and the atmosphere in that facility and the wild trees. I also liked the staff.

nothing really. It was a lovely experience staying there.

The resort is set in beautiful well maintained gardens. We had a lovely view of the ocean from our balcony. The restaurant offered a good range of tasty fresh food and the staff were very friendly, courteous and professional. The diving operation was excellent, with good equipment, knowledgeable staff with safety a priority and good dive sites. The owner Christian is a great bloke, he even organised a safe transfer back to Sipilay when it was raining. We will be back.

Rooms could use an update. Beds were old and mattresses/pillows were horrible. Very uncomfortable and didn’t sleep well. Please please, buy new bedding.

Staff were exceptional, owner was very nice and many different activities to do. Food was outstanding and the beach was just steps away from the rooms.

Not that I dislike, but I didnt find our room accessible because it was situated at the top most. But it's okay :) Part of the eperience.

The breakfast is good for the price, I like the acuaria breakfast. Also, we commend ALL the staff, they are friendly and very welcoming. I'd like to come back and get diving courses too! :)
