Ticao Altamar Boutique Resort

We had an amazing stay.. The resort was rather secluded so from the terminal we rode motor bikes into the dirt for a short period before reaching the resort. That being said the resort was very calming and relaxing. The receptionist greeted us immediately when we arrived and offer us drinks, then showed us to our rooms. The food was amazing and advanced order so they have it ready as soon as you get to the lobby area/restaurant at the time you want to eat. There were areas to relax and paddle board. The water was calm and we saw a lots of corals. The boat tour was kind of pricey but worth it since we went to 4 different spots with wonderful views. All in all, the staff was nice and helpful, and we really enjoyed our stay. Will come back again with the whole family next time.

I’ve never experienced a better staff than these wonderful people at the Altamar, my girlfriend and I had such a wonderful time enjoying the beautiful scenery, beach, pool and food! The staff surprised us on numerous occasions with a romantic dinner table and breakfast table outside with candles and beanbags! This was my first trip to the Philippines and I’ve never in my life received the wonderful treatment of the staff, thank you for everything! This is the #1 place to stay!!

Pros - friendly staff Cons - poor communication Fr hotel .hard to access by road and we had to hop on motorcycle with my 80 year old mom Doesn’t accept credit card

Diana and I were virtually the only guests. The exception being day trippers on island hopping tours. It would have been so easy to forget that there was another world outside of this place. But reality hits when you realise you have to move on to the next destination. No menu for food. You are asked what you would like or offered three choices. Food was great and plentiful. Staff very friendly and helpful.
