I would have to say that seeing Buri from the outside can be rather deceiving. A white wall fronts the property, just behind a narrow shoreline, and everything else is covered in trees. But as you enter the premises, you are greeted by a veritable eden: flowers (pink, red, orange, white and purple), vines, a mix of lush plants and shrubbery, and old thick trees piece together a harmonious existence between man and nature.
The white villas stand on the hillside connected by a long stone staircase at the very center. Nights are filled with peace and absolute quiet, while birds sing their unfettered songs when you wake.
The pools (infinity pool & deep pool) offer travellers a comforting dip after a long journey or respite from saline day tours.
The food didn't disappoint either. Service is quick, the kitchen boasts a broad menu, and portions are good. Plus, they have quite the selection of wine & spirits to cater to all kinds of tastes.
The entire staff is very friendly -always ready with a smile- and very accommodating. Cheers to Onec & the rest of the service crew, Christine (housekeeping), and, of course Toots Aldeguer (management) who ensured we were looked after until our departure from Puerto Galera.
A very special mention to Rey, captain of the Sea Warrior, for making it feel like caring for his passengers is as natural as breathing- when service and pride in one's craft becomes genuine kindness. Thank you for an unforgettable spin above the Coral Garden and beyond.
My only advice is to book early and be strategic with the upward effort to the villas.
We loved our stay here and we are very thankful to Buri for showing us a side of Mindoro that we had never seen.
