My wife and I spent 4 wonderful days here. One of the best beach vacations we've had... albeit too short. We felt pampered from the time we arrived and were serenaded by the staff with a welcome song. Check-in was smooth and quick. We booked a unit which had private plunge pool and a great view of the beach and it did not disappoint. The room was very clean, spacious, nicely decorated and with a very big bathroom. We just wished there was a bit more privacy between the toilet and the rest of the bathroom (it was too open for our taste). The facilities at the resort seem to be quite well-maintained. Food was actually quite good. Our favorite was the "Mango Madness" dessert. We availed of 2 of the included tour packages (B and C) and thoroughly enjoyed them. During our stay, we pretty much had the beach to ourselves. We were able to snorkel right off of the beach. What stands out for us is the quality and warmth of the service we received from each and every one of the staff that we interacted with. Even those we casually meet as we walked around the resort always greeted us politely with a smile and that Filipino hospitality. Everyone seemed eager and always ready to accommodate whatever requests to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Special shout-out to: - Love who took good care of us and our needs from the time we checked in. - Mark from the pool bar area who always accommodated our requests with patience and enthusiasm. - Chad and Amor who took care of our room. - Dean, who was our guide for the tours (and also doubled as our photographer). - The guy at the grill and buffet area of the restaurant (sorry didn't catch the name) who always greeted us warmly as he explained the dishes We've been to many beach resorts but this will become one of our favourites. We just wish we could have stayed longer. …

Paradise- like location. Our villa with pool and view on the ocean was simply outstanding: the size, amenities, materials and finishes, comfort: all outstanding! Even the visit of the monkeys was a treat! The location of the island is ideal , close to all the must see most beautiful beaches and secret places you can only access via boat, canoe or swimming, the reefs and under the sea fauna and flora are spectacular . The service is great with people always available for any of your requests Though the food is average quality, the service slow and the staff lacking training to make the experience 5 stars: the service at the pool is not great, the menu and quality of the food average , and the attention to details not there . This place has all it takes to be 5 stars, the Filipino reknowned sense of service is definitely there too, but need more training to the staff to elevate the services : pool service, room service, maintenance , food quality I enjoyed thoroughly my stay and will recommend this place!…

The best resort! Managers and staff are so attentive and helpful. Tour guides are always ready to assist you and is always making sure they put your safety first. Avail all of the tours available (Tour A, B, C) from the resort. Food was awesome, we had their breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets and it was delicious. The kids loved it! We were there October 31st and they set up a special Halloween dinner for all the guests. Kids had their face painted and they went trick or treating. Also highly recommend you get Kuya Jomari as your guide, my mom is a senior and he never left her side, he was always there to assist her and at the same time making sure the rest of us were also safe.

This is a late review for our stay in January. We have spent with our children 10 days in this wonderful resort and every day was memorable. Firstly the staff - it was top level of attendance to every detail and service, kindness, flexibility for a family with kids and wonderful in taking care of all of us. We had a special guide, Anton, just for us through the whole time who came with us to each and every activity and took care of us and the children so wonderfully. The activity manager, Grace, was very patience and accommodating with any request we had-the resort has excursions to all the beautiful sites around. The restaurant and its management (I think the name of the manager is Johny-not sure sorry:) ) was always there checking with us and the children if they needed anything- everything was so beautifully presented and the kitchen was happy to prepare anything we asked for (although there was more than enough variety to choose from). The rooms are very large and comfortable. John the dive centre's manager came with us to all the dives and took very good care of us and our safety (they have great equipment as well)-we even had the chance to explore a new reef John just heard about. The reef next to resort (house reef) is alive and rich with fish and different animals. The night dive was the best we had ever experienced and very much recommended . The left side of the house reef is very beautiful and the right side as well and but it also has a small reef shark hanging around for the guest to see :). There were few little baby sharks that came every evening to the beach. The management was always there and around making sure everything is perfect as it was. They even set up a volleyball net just for us and we had few times the chance to play also with the staff. The pool is huge (I think 50m) which allows great swimming. Great hike to the top of island from the hotel , animals to see on the island and much more one should discover for oneself. All over simply a great resort with great staff and kind management-perfect all around. When ever we are back in the Philippines for sure we will be back. Thank you very much.…

I'm very upset with the customer service. I'm spending over USD 10,000 and i cant get anyone to confirm my payment. Even when I wanted to pay, I had to request MULTIPLE times for the payment link. They kept saying if you dont pay you cant secure your hotel room. So, I'm trying to pay as soon as possible. But, they forgot to give me the airticket payment link. I want to pay both at the same time so the flights are also secured. Anyways, after being ignored by Pangalusian, I decided to take things into my own hands and call Air Swift. They politely gave me the payment link after a 1 minute phone call, and got a payment confirmation soon after. So, at this point, I'm trying to confirm my hotel booking. I tried calling 5 numbers thru out the whole afternoon, no one is answering. I ended up talking to someone on the phone and I could hear dogs barking in the background. She promised to get back to me 3 hours ago and I still have not heard from her. No one is replying to my email. I don't get the point of posting so many phone numbers if no one is going to answer or turn off the phone. I've never heard of any hotels not taking reservations on weekends. I can get a faster booking confirmation from Holiday Inn. If you are going to charge the customers this much and claim yourself as one of the best luxury resorts in the world, please have better customer service! The most horrible and stressful experience I ever had! If you like stress when booking ur hotel room, this is the resort for you. …
