Luxurious, peaceful, beautiful place to stay and visit. Great pool, restaurant and rooms. You will enjoy the natural environment and the activities like getting swimming, a massage, visiting the petting zoo, watching the nightly movie and making smores.

Bummer experience. They have this atrocious policy of charging guests for ice if you want it brought to your room. Their resto is not near, and the fact that they provide shuttle service for the route speaks for the distance. And our room is on the third floor! Charge is just Php50 and easily affordable but its the policy of making guests suffer for the distance between the rooms and their resto that is galling. If quality customer service is primary to them, they should even go out of their way to make up for the inconvenience of guests caused by the distance between the rooms and their facilities. Worse, nobody told us about the charge. I could just have bought stuff at the convenience store when we went out for dinner but Reception specifically told us that ice is available, and no charge. Doesn't speak well of a place which is supposedly top notch in this area 😠

My friends and I stayed in one of the two Villas that each have a private pool. 3 bedrooms each with an en suite bathroom. The outside patio contains a cozy sofa and lounge area with the pool adjacent. The two bedrooms facing the pool were similar and offered great views across the pool, beautiful landscape towards *****s Island. There was a good sized fridge on the patio along with the sink, gas cook top, and supplies. As there was no functional safe, we left our valuables at the desk. It is a 3 hour drive minimum from Mactan Airport. It's not far. However, the roads are very winding with slow traffic. There's nothing walkable from the resort compound, they do offer a van ride up nearby areas (Ronda for the 7-11 or Moalbal for fun activities) for a reasonable fee. The huts/gazebos out on the pier over the water are no longer there. You do have to order any meals you want, at the restaurant, the day before as they go buy the food needed at the stores the day of. All that said, we absolutely loved our stay here because of: the beautiful landscape; the views over the sea to the Volcano on *****s Island; the restaurant food was delicious and reasonably priced; and most importantly the staff. Bryan the manager and his staff were friendly, helpful, and awesome We really wished we could've stayed longer

We were there to scout snorkeling locations. The owner showed us around and arranged a boat for us to visit the sites we were interested in. He was very nice, friendly and accommodating. It all looks very nice and seems extremely well maintained. It's all very recent construction. There are plenty of deluxe details. Big beds, super quiet aircon, great wifi, one way glass in the front windows of the rooms! The kitchen at the restaurant is large and very well appointed. It was the chef's day off but food was procured from the resort next door. The waitress was not well trained but was a 10 visually. I'm told the snorkeling was a paradise on Earth prior to Typhoon Odette. Now it is only average and will take many years to regain its former glory. The soft corals are starting to recover but the hard corals are down for the count. We did see some large sea turtles. The hardcore freedivers in our group said that it's still glorious at depths of 35 feet and more, so scuba divers will not be disappointed.
