This is a really outstanding property, house and gardens. It's well looked after by Laarni, beautifully kept throughout, clean and beautifully designed. The architecture of the house is really unusual, which makes it all the more of an experience. We also appreciated Laarni's advice on trips out and her help with co-ordination and arranging drivers. The setting of the house is superb, high on the hill, so you have amazing views looking down and across. Sunrises and sunsets are wonderful and the floor to ceiling windows offer incredible views. Finally, our flight was delayed countless times and Laarni was so helpful, arranging pick up from the airport at 3am. I would absolutely recommend you stay in this gem of property.

The villa is one of a kind for sure! Located on huge grounds on the top of a large hill which overlooks the surrounding jungle and winding river to the sea. Simply stunning! Laarni - the property manager - was so helpful and welcoming. She helped arrange food, tours and activities. All of which is necessary due to the remote location of the villa (which in itself was a big attraction for us). The island has so much to do and discover and the villa is centrally located to be strike out and do all the key attractions.

Don't hesitate to book this amazing home! The jaw-dropping views in every direction are enough to never want to leave. But then add to that all of the other perks and you want to pinch yourself to make sure you're not dreaming. We opted to have breakfast made for us every day as well as two amazing dinners during our stay. The smell of the delicious food was enough to motivate even three teenagers to come to the table early each morning. Each days' activities were perfectly orchestrated by Laarni - she took care of every detail and knew how to make everything special and set up everyone to help us each step of the way. You seriously can not get this type of service in any upscale hotel or any other type of place to stay. Our highlights included (but certainly not limited to) giving out candy to the children at the school, walking to the village down the hill and crossing the river to have dinner at the Loboc River Resort (while talking to the people and even cheering on a team during a competitive basketball game), drinking coconut water from coconuts retrieved on the property, relaxing in the pool, watching storms roll through at night and of course, watching the sunrise. We did all of the other amazing touristy activities as well - I can't believe how Laarni was able to help us fit everything in. So many fun family memories were made in this home. We will miss it so much and we are so grateful for our time spent there!

This place was amazing. Would stay here again in heartbeat. The house was pristine and gorgeous with a glass wall looking out to the ocean. A few of the lights could use updating/replacing along with the AC units as they we finicky and a little loud. Nothing that detracted from the stay though. Just a note that the property is quite isolated so you will need a driver or motorcycle to get around for sure. But if you want quiet and seclusion this place can't be beat.

Had a four-night stay with five adults. Was greeted by the on-site host Laarni, with a fresh coconut drink poolside, and she explained all the features of the home and area. As explained by the previous guest reviews, the house is beautiful, very clean, and well worth the daily price. The home is beautifully appointed with Asian antiques, an entertainment room with a smart TV, comfortable beds, hot water, good air conditioning, and strong WIFI. There is an on-site cleaning maid and a gardener who also does pool cleaning in the morning. Some have complained these services impact your privacy, but we didn't find that to be the case. We utilized the on-site cook, and all meals were very good, and we didn't have to do dishes. The garden wraps around the house and has a huge selection of tropical plants. The pool was clean and the water temperature was warm. House is on top of the hill, and has a beautiful view of the river, ocean, and area. Home is about an hour from the airport, but Laarni was always available to make transportation arrangements for you at a reasonable cost (P1,800 for 7 passenger airport van). The billing at the end for the cook and food was accurate, with all receipts provided. There are two routes to access the home, with the one from the north in very good condition and the one to the south not so much, but was fun seeing how the locals lived. Needless to say, we wish the home was closer to the USA.

Upon arrival, we had coconut drinks on the patio, that set the tone for a wonderful stay at the Sunrise house. Laarni was attentive, arranged our driver and activities. We loved our time when Laarni would come over to discuss the next days activities. The staff Marilou, Jocelyn and Adrian were professional and helped to cook and maintain property. When you stay here you’re apart of Laarni’s family. The pictures of the views and home are unbelievably gorgeous, tropical and lush, I couldn’t get enough of it. The glass walls made the views just as gorgeous, inside as out. Many places for our family to gather and chat. I feel honored to stay here. The island is recovering from a typhoon and earthquake, bringing tourism to the island helps the people. Looking at previous reviews, we had hot showers and WiFi was best in the bedrooms, the staff were always around during the day and needed to maintain the integrity of the home.

This villa is one-of-a-kind. The interior is impeccably presented and it's like living in a work of art. The exterior is equally incredible with amazing views of gardens, rivers, and the ocean. It was also very quiet at night. The caretaker Larni was also amazing and was always a call/text away to help us plan trips/dinner. She lives on-site in the caretakers house. The only two suggestions I have relate to privacy... for example: 1. There were a couple instances staff randomly entered the home without knocking. Considering privacy is listed as one of the benefits, I'd prefer if staff knocked first. On our last day, cleaning staff even entered the home a couple hours before our checkout. It was a bit unnerving to wake up to noises coming from across the hallway and discovering someone was in the kitchen. 2. There's an outdoor bathroom located next to the pool. There was some sort of meeting going on at the caretakers home and the guests seemed to be using the pool bathroom. We were outside at one point enjoying the pool when a lady randomly walked in, didn't say anything to us, and entered the bathroom. As a result, I would encourage the staff to use more discretion when entering the property and/or it's grounds when guests are present though. Despite the minor privacy concerns, the house was incredible and I wouldn't let this deter you from renting it. The pictures don't even do the house justice. It will leave you breathless.
