Stayed 3 Nights here, and Wished we would have stayed longer, this place is definitely worth coming back to in my opinion.
From the Pickup from the airport on time and very welcome reception from the staff, extraordinary view from the restaurant and to be only two people there at that time of day was something to experience,....the Serenity, the beauty, and the sounds of Nature all around.
Very friendly staff talked us through the various activities and the ordering of food in advance, and I was impressed by the humble but very friendly approach when dealing with all staff there throughout our visit.
The room was tidy and the bed comfortable.
Shower pressure was good and the bathroom was nice and tidy.
We were on the bottom on one of the houses, next time we will book the top floor , but nothing bad to say about the room or negative in anyway.
The sheer remoteness of the place, the deafening silence after having arrived from Manila with its hustle bustle, was heavenly and very welcome to relax with.
We enjoyed Dinner,I decided to try the Ox Tongue with Mashed potatoes and did not regret tasting that delicacy of a dish. You Must try it.
After Dinner we enjoyed the Firefly watching on the River, simply mind blowing in its beauty to see the stars among the trees and then see the Fireflies in almost every tree after a short boat ride. One of the more tranquil Moments I have ever experienced in its simplicity and beauty to watch the fireflies at night.
The Following day we enjoyed a Private Island Hopping Tour to a few private islands....and once again, being the only people on each Island, except for our Boatman and Minder , Who left us to walk around and we enjoyed Lunch on a beachfront with not a single soul around anywhere in Sight, Just the Quiet tranquil Nature of the Philippines all around. Heavenly.
The restaurant is well and efficient in its operation, the breakfast is good and I enjoyed one of the Best pancakes since my grandmother made them when I was a kid....
The Service staff are very attentive, and with a glance in their direction they would offer any service you required.
Very well Done. Very Well Done.
If you want to get away from it all, and not have a lot of people around, The Riverhouse has Seven Rooms if I am remembering Correctly, So you will not have a lot of people at any given time.
We Suffered a couple of power outages, but the Generator kicked in short while later.
Philippines after all , so no complaints at all.
I am very happy we decided to stay here, and I wished I would have stayed longer.
Well, there is always a Next time.
And there will be a next time.
