One of the Best Places in the Philippines!

Excellent Service, Very Friendly Staff. Great welcome and send-off singing! Nature at it's best. For me, the best attractions are the fishes and the coral reefs. If you are not an experienced diver, I suggest you practice using the dive mask and snorkel (breathing) in the swimming pool before going to the open waters. You will enjoy the experience more. You can also request the diver-guides to accompany you when you go snorkeling. They will show you the best spots and will help keep you safe. Bring an eco-friendly water container with you. There are no plastic bottled water containers on the island. You need to constantly hydrate yourself in the warm weather. World-class rooms and amenities. Special mention to Aldrin-Altab, Dr. Ina, Vanessa,Jeff and the Chef.

Room tip: Cottages with direct stairs access to the water are very convenient for snorkeling.

Paradise on earth!

It was the most beautiful place I ever stayed in! The island offers a lot of activities during the day for you to swim with colourful fishes, visit other islands, watch the sunset or the sun rising. The swimming pool is beautiful and you will see baby sharks outside your water cottage! There is flowers, butterflies, birds and lizards everywhere, it is absolutely magical! The staff are very friendly and helpful, especially Aubrey, James and Varrel. Thank you so much for making our Honeymoon even more special!

Amazing place

Apulit resort is a great place to be for the excursions. Kayaking and snorkeling in this water is breathtaking. Isla Blanca wad beautiful. Our guide, Dean, was awesome.

My sister and I stayed here for 3 days and 2 nights. The boat ride and van ride were well organized. Once i got off the plane, i was greeted by our guide.

Unforgettable escapade 2

After an hour and a half of land travel and an hour boat ride, we are back to one of our favorite resorts, Apulit, and we were not disappointed. After being greeted by the singing staff and being welcomed by the resort manager, Jing, we went straight to the lunch buffet which was included in the room package we availed. We met the Grilling Station chef, Jeric, who jokingly warned us "Ma'am, Sir, papatabain ko kayo" (or "Ma'am, Sir, I will make you fat" in english) which made my wife and I excited for the food. True enough, Jeric fulfilled his promise and we were beyond satisfied with our meals during our entire stay.

After eating, we went straight to our water villa, Room 35, which was not only the closest room to the main reception area, but it also faced the limestone cliff. During our stay, the rooms were newly renovated and the bathroom had a major facelift! Very much bigger compared to before.

By dinner time, we were approached by the activity coordinator so that we could schedule our itinerary during our entire stay. We juggled our time through a series of activities: The 530am sunrise cruise, 9am Isla Blanca island tour, the 10am house reef snorkeling, the 2pm Nabat Reef snorkeling, then the 530pm sunset cruise... Whew! All these activities were included in our room package, plus we had extra time for other recreational activities such as kayaking and paddle boarding. Time flew so fast, yet we still had the time of our lives in Apulit.

The highlight of our stay was the special dinner the resort provided for us (special mention to Romi for make it happening.) It was a romantic, beautifull ellaborate setting by the beach, with a 5 course menu, and a personal waiter just for our special night. The dinner setting was breathtaking. We felt one with the nature after having the opportunity to eat by the beach, under the stars. Not only that, we felt as if we were the only people in the resort, making this dinner for us really memorable.

All in all, everything was still good the second time around and we can't wait for our third time to visit. What can I say, we love that place! Definitely worth the stay.
