Staff amazing and the room was everything the photos showed. Great beach
Bit to far away from things, 3 weeks was too much and we left earlier than we had booked for
Restaurant staff went above and beyond but the food wasn’t the greatest
Would certainly recommend it for a shorter stay
I always want to stay here when I need to relax. The beachfront room is always my go to. I can watch the sunrise from the balcony. The foods are amazing, my husband loved the pork bbq and fried rice. Will definitely come back.
It’s a perfect getaway for families and friends. Even though just one night but it is worth it. There are plenty of activities to enjoy here, especially if you make full use of the services they offer. I love how peaceful it is, it really helps you relax and unwind. The room was huge and the service is excellent.

Stayed here with my husband and my baby. The private pool ocean view villa was awesome but there was a leak in the bathroom. Everything was great but the facility needs an update. Also, if they can have a baby changing station at the lobby's bathroom and the restaurant to make it easy to guest with babies.

Quite honestly, for foreign travellers looking to see a bit of the Philippines.....don't waste your money on this resort. Our beach front villa with pool was fantastic however the service at this resort was very inconsistent (housekeeping, grounds staff, pool cleaners, service in the restaurant and room service) and the location too far out of the way to see most anything else. The beaches were nicer in Malapascua and Bantayan as well. We had booked for 13 nights and by day 4 were looking at leaving and going to another hotel in the south of Cebu, closer to all the attractions like whale sharks, water falls etc. No go, as we were told that once checked in we were responsible for the total cost of the stay! Also some price inconsistency going on - the front desk told us on a Sun that the price of an Island Hopping tour on the hotel boat was 18,000.00 pesos. Three days later when we enquired again with intention of booking, the price had jumped to 22,000.00 pesos. Of note, by using a tuktuk, local ferry, scooter rental and local boat off Bantayan we calculated the price to be less than 4000.00. Only one restaurant on site and although the food was good, service was very inconsistent and the menu quickly got old. Of note, there were no other restaurants within walking distance and even in Daanbantayan there was only one other restaurant serving the same type of food and a Jolibees. Relaxing trip, comfortable bed, friendly people but for the price, quite disappointing!
I didn’t actually stay booked a room for my friend & her niece . On arrival they were given an upgrade . When entering the room they said wow . Thank you for this & will stay again in the future
I really wanted to like this hotel, and there’s so much potential with a pretty location and modern/high end villas and facilities. Back of house staff doing a great job on gardening, cleaning etc. Front of house staff very poor - lacked basic training, amateur skills. Examples- no idea how to make a gin & tonic, rice served to the table with cling film on, no one present at reception and no apology. Overall, a big shame as the place has lots of potential. Needs leadership and an investment in the team there.
Our room was nice and spacious, and clean. Food was excellent, except for the Valentine's day dinner. There were two choices, and my wife had the pasta. Her pasta was cold and a lot firmer than al dente. The chicken parm was tasteless. My cheesecake for desert arrived at my table frozen. Can't even slice it with a knife. They should've stuck with native cuisine. My wife loves italian food, but that was nowhere near it. BTW, the front door entrance to our hotel is treacherous. The door landing was high, and you can't notice it because of the same color rug in front of it. I tripped on it, and bruised my toes. They should've at least put a sign there to watch your step. Ironically, it happened to my wife the next day.
Et virkeligt lækkert resort, hvor man får stor value for money. Maden var virkelig lækker - særligt alle seafood retterne. Pænt og rent med høfligt personale.
Meget roligt sted og kun ganske få gæster - kan opleves både positivt og negativt afhængigt af, hvad man er til.
Strand pool villan helt fantastiskt, lugnt och skönt. Mycket bra mat i restaurangen med ett brett utbud. Trevlig, service inriktad personal. Det enda är att stranden utanför hotellet inte är så trevlig. Men vi åkte båt ut till hotellets privata strand på en annan ö, med bbq lunch. Mkt bra o trevligt.
Fantastiskt ställe att koppla av på och bil är att föredra då det ligger lite avlägset men närheten till det mesta. Flera fina öar finns att besöka.
Vi hade en pool villa och det var ett riktigt bra val.
Rekommenderar verkligen hotellet.

Super friendly staffs. Small sized resort so it was pretty quiet. The rooms were so outdated. Furnitures were not in good condition and bathroom was the worst…. We had 3 rooms and they all were in same condition.
