Smell of sea

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Nov 9, 2023
People often rave about its beautiful beachfront location and the relaxed, tropical atmosphere. The food is another highlight, with fresh seafood and local dishes being particular favorites. The staff is also frequently praised for their friendliness and attentiveness. However, like any place, it might not be for everyone. Some people might find it a bit remote if they’re looking for a bustling city experience. I will surely bring my family here.

United States: Beautiful, Secluded Resort.

Rooms and showers are very clean. I'm very picky about floor's cleanliness: I look at the floor first to determine cleanliness. Bathroom floors are very clean.
The resort is very nice and quite, restaurant food variety is good, the staff is friendly and efficient. The ocean/swimming area dring high tide is very clean and clear. You'll find colorful starfish on the reef. You'll need reef or water shoes when swimming because the beach reef is rocky. The island is very serene. You will see the mountain on the otherside of the island. If you're looking to relax away from noise, for a quiet and well landscape island, this is the place. I like this place, unlike resorts in Panglao the public cannot disturb the guests or you don't have to worry about public walking on the beach or staring at you because they have no access to the property.

Super quiet, super friendly staff, excellent Al La Carte menu to suit all tastes, Asian, European, American, Indian curries, Mexican & Filipino always cooked fresh.
Spotless room, quiet air condition, large bathroom & a lovely safe for all swimming pool.
My only negative was it is needs further consideration for elderly or disabled people, too many steps and incomplete path & driveway. But with the help from staff I managed. Isla Hayahay is on an island called Panganan near Calape and the wifi & phone signal is okay, but can be a bit patchy.

Room tip: Superior Deluxe room is excellent value

Isla Hayahay easily gets a 5-Star rating from me. The cottages, the breezy dining area, the intimate bar, and the pool were great. The rocky beachfront needs major work to be called a beach but the wide wooden platform with loungers that looked out to the sea more than makes up for it.

The staff, I’m sorry to say, doesn’t deserve the same score. They've merited much more. The manager, her assistant, the dining staff, and the kitchen people get 10 stars in my book. They’re the best.

Room tip: The cottages nearest to the pool are better.

We loved staying here. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, we really felt at home. The food is tasty and really reasonable. There are day trips you could do that they will arrange for you. There is no real beach but we were able to snorkel from the front of the resort. We loved our stay here and will definitely come back again. It was a perfect place to chill out and relax for a couple of days. Thank you to everyone! We can't wait to go back.
