Hotels in the Philippines

super clean and closed to everything

Exceptional couple offering you the luxury of a quiet retreat in a beautiful island. Both Virly and Xavi made us feel at home straight away and have been nothing but lovely for the entirety of our stay there. They are running this very homey resort with a great sense of hospitality, always ready to answer our needs and giving advice or just simply having a chat with them because they really are great people all-around. And then you'll also be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the small island village with turquoise water and bird singing and can do a star gazing session while in the swimming pool in the evening. Thumbs up to Virly also for her delicious and homey cooking (we loved the baracuda fish). If you're looking for a peaceful and beautiful place to rest in total simplicity, this place is just made for you.

the staff were extremely helpful and accommodating. the rooms were very spacious and all have individual pools. all the food was excellent.

I travelled with several family members to Kalanggaman Island and found Bellavista as the closest and nicest place to stay. The front desk manager, Heaven, greeted us and took care of all of our needs during our stay. Mae, the housekeeping manager was also very nice and helpful. The 2 bedroom family suite with full kitchen and living room was excellent as was the king suite.

I rarely give a 10 rating to a place but this one is so outstanding that it deserves the highest. Unfortunately you won’t find another place like this for this value in the Philippines. The host are gracious and super attentive and the place feels like home. Stephan also organized a really nice island hopping for us.

The place was very clean and well maintained. The view is very relaxing!

Beautiful location, very cool rooms, friendly and helpful staff. Direct access to the beach. Good food options. Outstanding experience. Affordable surf lessons and friendly helpful instructors. We will be back 100%.

I like the good vibes in the property. The owner/manager of the resort are very good host!

The property was beautiful and the staff could not have been more attentive. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Wonderful! We booked 1 night in this really cool beach bungalow and it was so good that we extended our stay for 3 days (and got a good discount). It was right on the beach and felt like we were on our very own desert island, waking up to the sound of the waves and taking a swim in the fantastically clear warm water before breakfast. We didn’t see any tourists at all on the beach, just some locals taking a walk and kids playing in the water, it was surreal after staying in Boracay with all the crowds and noise! The staff gave us snorkeling stuff for free and David the owner led us out to see the incredible variety of coral, which started just a short distance from the beach and though we saw many varieties of fish, it seems that there were many more before the pandemic, but the locals have decimated the stock as there was no work for them. But the starfish were prolific, we counted 10 different colors including some really bright blue ones, but be careful of the sea urchins, they’re only on the coral, so don’t swim over the coral at low tide. Ely took us for an island tour in this amazing 6 seater off road UTV, it could go anywhere and we took off road tracks to cliff jumps, deserted beaches and caves, this is a must, which you would never find if you hired motorcycles. Now the restaurant on this fantastic balcony (or you can eat at the beach bar). The food my god was soo good, Malou and the other staff were such good cooks, with both local and foreign dishes, don’t miss the yummy spicy spareribs, the stuffed baby squid, the curry, the adobo and of course the seafood; simply delicious! We wanted to stay longer and wished we had come here first and not bothered with Boracay, so sad to leave and will defiantly be back and skip the Boracay stay!

everything about this guesthouse was excellent. The owners have anticipated every possible need of their guests eg a small safe in each room for your valuables along with the more commonly available free drinking water, coffee and beach towels. The food was excellent and v good value. The rooms were spotless, large and with super comfortable beds. The beach was beautiful and there were two wonderful cabanas right on the beach for shade. We spent 5 nights here and could happily have stayed longer. It is about 45 mins north of the airport and at least 90 mins by scooter down to GL. The guesthouse has everything you could need so you don’t need to leave the grounds.
