The island location of the resort, a few minutes boat ride from the main island of Busuanga, set it apart from the hustle and bustle of the crowded town. For that reason, the guests can experience a feeling of security, peacefulness and serenity. The staff, boatmen, chefs, dive masters, food servers, house and ground keepers are all very friendly and accomodating.

Joel, United States of America

Quiet & clean! Very courteous staff & helpful. Food was great.

George, United States of America

I like how relaxing the place is. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Food from the restaurant was very yummy, I recommend you to try it. Wifi was working but a bit slow, understandable that the place is away – signal is bad.

The staff were so friendly, hospitable, and always on their best to make things happen.

Wait 20-25 min for boat every time you wanted to go to town or back .( sometimes more, sometimes less) Noisy noisy noisy air condition and fan. No one clean the room or put toiletries next day! I have to go and by my shampoo and soap next day. Your room doesn’t have a view as it said in the description. Low pressure hot water! Even sometimes you don’t have any!
Beautiful view from the property to the see.

The resort was beautiful but I do not understand why the beach was so dirty full of rubbish , while I was stand paddle boarding I came back with a small bag of rubbish. There is so many staff working there, I don't understand why no one is taking care of it. Also we booked a island hopping tour with the resort, they told us we bookee to be a small boat with 12 guest max , we ended with 26 person in this boat , we couldn't move in the boat, that was a big disappointment even if the tour was beautiful.
Beautiful view, the room was really comfortable

We were caught off-guard by the onsite payment at the hotel. We thought we’ve already settled it thru our credit card but found out at check out that we need to pay it at the resort. The listing in booking.com is misleading as well- we thought that rates are inclusive of breakfast and no addtl tax will be billed but its the other way around. Overall this experience is the lowest point of our trip.
The staffs are so friendly and attentive

10% Service charge for a service that wasn’t great. Pool and facilities look old and for the price we payed we found better accomodations.
Free transfer to a private island where the hotel is located is a good start for some high expectations.

“Second Home”

A bidet would have been nice for the toilet. It doesn't use up much water compared to the dipper. If not an option, a faucet to fill the bucket would have been great. The food being a bit pricey is understandable, though, considering everything has to be transported to the island. Also, a HOT, brewed coffee would have been nice. We were served COLD brewed coffee TWICE. Try heating the milk also.
The ambiance is great. My wife and I loved the location! Peaceful, private. The electric kettle is terrific. It was a small add on, but definitely steps up when you need your coffee cravings met in the middle of the night. The sanitation is great. The sheets are clean and smell good. The electric and water supply was unbelievable, considering it is an island. When the mainland is low on water and power supply, yours is doing well. Great job! My wife and I also appreciate the complementary boat ride from the island to the mainland and vice versa. You have given us the choice to try the food in the mainland.

There are no beach to swim in the island. You need to join a tour to swim.
The hotel is the only hotel in the island. It is really quite place. It takes 30 min to walk around the island. Hotel is clear but doesn’t have water on the toilets. There are free boat from island to Coron Town. You just need to tell the hotel staff.
