I did not arrive and stay in the accommodation. I gave up because of bad comments and reviews from other guests and for security reasons

I am really struggling with this review. this place has so much potential. the folks were super nice and helpful. the food was good. this is a great place to completely DISCONNECt as you are isolated. your pretty much left to buy the food and water there.
the photos on booking.com are old. it’s run down and in need of repair. the pool was empty, the beach wasn’t really a beach.

peaceful and comfy/clean accommodation. great staff
hell of a trek down from the main road. very steep with many steps. Owner charges for every little extra like water, when the hotel stay was high price in the first place. all food was very expensive and complimentary breakfast disappointing. You were made to feel a prisoner if you wanted to leave the resort to explore anywhere else, which we did most days in our week stay. The beach wasn’t good for bathing. Mud and silt under the surface. Glad to make our escape in the end.

The room. The beach view. The sitting area at the end of the pier
The way we were billed for meals. Poor internet connection. CR clogging in shower. Lots of dogs and cats begging for food.

the staff especially the personal butlers
The property is situated in a ridge going down to the beach. It is not suitable for some elderly guests since one needs to walk down and trek through more than 60 steps going down and up to the rooms. Some parts of the property needs renovations and repair. there is only limited signal which is only accessible at the beach front near the wharf. The pool is not well maintained. We came during electricity black out and some areas cannot be supplied entirely by the generator. The beach is not clean and seabed have lots of algae which made it slippery and not suitable for swimming. It was a no smoking resort but some male staff are smoking near the beach.

Peaceful and clean. Very accommodating staff
It has to be developed a bit and should have some recreations so that the guest will enjoy not only the view. Kindly do something about your internet connection also so that we can keep in touch with our family way back home.

I feel scammed. It was like a prison. Massively overpriced food (3x normal cost) and not allowed to leave the resort to buy other food. Also, when booking I was told the airport transfer would cost 7600php, but 3 months later the price jumped to 11,000php. Apparently due to increased fuel costs. However, the RORO ferry fee was only 200php each way. Total scam, the actual cost to the resort would be under 1,000php for round trip transfers. Also, the "free transfer" doesn't exist, so booking.com need to remove that. Very disappointed and feel the resort owner is a fraud, very unfair. I can't complain about the views, they are very nice. But views alone can't command that sort of expense and aside from a swimming pool, there is nothing else to do on the resort. Not even allowed to leave to buy reasonable-priced food! The owner knows he is greedily scamming all the guests and knows that nobody will return. Such a shame, because with some integrity and conscience, lowering the food prices or allowing outside food, he would actually make more profit and also guests wouldn't feel scammed. Such a let-down. My advice to anyone, please don't be fooled by the beautiful pictures. Yes it really does look beautiful but if you want to eat too, then you would need bank financing, and even an island hopping tour would cost in access of 10,000php

Great location and friendly staff.
The place is rundown and needs repairs. Too many chickens and dogs and liter. Any complaints fall on deaf ears because the owner really doesn’t care. There are no restaurants nearby and you have to eat at the resort and the food is too expensive and not so good. We drove a car there so we were able to go off the resort to eat. They do not allow you to bring snacks or drinks and they will search you to make sure you don’t.

The location is far and you need to go down to a steep number of stairs steps
8.0
it was serene with a lot of plants around the resort. it was quiet and very relaxing.
the bathroom needed some cleaning. there were tresspassers walking around the property. it made it look like the front of the cabanas was a common passage for the locals as well.
9.0
service is great. employee are friendly.
it is in a hill. getting there by land is not convenient. this will not be an issue if picking up guest by ferry resumes.

the place is really peaceful and if you want to re charge it would be perfect.
The person handling their FB ACCOUNT and Butler we had disclosed private information with someone who inquired in their FB PAGE WHICH IS TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL. I don’t think the management knows about this, but it should be addressed otherwise I wouldn’t feel safe to stay here again.

Having a personal Butler!
Beach - shallow but crystal clean.
Food menus and drinks are too pricey.
Bring your own drinking water to avoid paying extras for it.

Pool is great and they will do dinners and serve them on the beach, which is extremely clean and tidy. Having a butler was unusual but very helpful, I did the inland tour and took her with me.
If you are elderly or disabled you need to specify that you want a lower rooms...very steep steps to all of the accommodation on the hill. Internet is virtually non existent ..
