We booked to join friends as we were in Mabini area. Website talks about a luxury resort with a long list of amenities and activities. Well done photos make look like it has a lovely sand beach. No such thing. The sand is grey and is on a platform before getting to the sea. Some pebbles and mostly broken and eroded coral.

Reality is somewhat different from luxury. Bling- bling small resort who tries hard to do everything but doesn’t do any very well.

Rooms were comfortable for a 2-3star and had been renovated , but the advertised « sea view » was through a smallish side window. For all rooms. Plumbing needs rework. But a full minibar at decent prices was a nice amenity.

Staff was generally nice, but generally lacking training and direction.
Food comes from a rather basic and not very hygienic small kitchen and takes a long time to be delivered to either restaurant or other places. However, they will serve you anywhere you want in the resort, which is nice. Overall all staff very pleasant and accommodating.

Food itself was very average and many items not available. At times the staff returned 2-3 times to say sorry not available.
Huge portions made for 4-5 persons resulted in a lot of wastage.
Probably better suited for Filipino families, like the rest of the resort. Definitely not for well traveled foreigners.
At each meal staff gave us some complimentary drinks, which was nice, although not needed.

Dive was OK, but diving center is a joke. Boat staff helpful and pleasant.

So, overall it needs a lot of cleaning up, more focus and competent management.
Meanwhile there are so many better resorts in Mabini area.

Comfortable, pleasant, ultra accommodating from start to finish. I have stayed at multiple hotels across the continents and this resort was a very pleasant surprise. Genuine pride, attention to detail for its guests needs

Resort is situated on the water front. There is no beach as such. Water sports are provided. Property is not too big as expected. They have other facilities like spa, massage, gym, pool table, karaoke, swimming pool. Outdoor bar and air con indoor bar. Restaurant. For the price the rooms are extremely small and bathroom/ toilet is also very small and tight squeeze. Has hot/ cold shower. Wifi provided with TV channels but at times very slow and channels don’t play. Good selection of drinks. The staff was very nice, friendly and helpful. The food was ok. The local friends were of the opinion that the taste could be improved so that was a bit of disappointment. Parking is available. Not too many shops near the resort. Quite remote. If you can bear with the cramped rooms you can have a good time for day or two at the most.
