Stayed with family · For friends and family

Overall a great experience! We were only there for 2 nights but it was probably enough because food and drinks are pretty pricey there. Glad breakfast was included. Staff is very friendly. Just a few odd things to point out: no bananas, mangoes, or fruits native to the area (only watermelon, pineapple and canned peaches) and no longanisa or toscino at breakfast. We’d come back!

The resort was clean, and the views were beautiful. However, one major disappointment was that guests are not allowed to swim at the beach after 6:00 PM. Since the weather during the day can be extremely hot, many people would prefer to enjoy the beach later in the evening when it’s cooler. The biggest letdown, though, was the food. During our two-night stay, we didn’t have a single meal that we truly enjoyed. The food was significantly overpriced, which I wouldn’t have minded if the quality had matched the price—but unfortunately, it didn’t. We even tried the resort’s fine dining restaurant, expecting a much better experience, but it was just as disappointing as the other restaurants on the property. If there’s one area the resort should prioritize improving, it’s the dining experience. Great food is an important part of any vacation, and unfortunately, it fell far short of expectations during our stay.

From the welcome center to the boat transfer to the food to the friendliness of the staff (especially Lucky) to the performances to the cleanliness of the property and to the comfortability of the room, the entire stay was absolutely amazing! The property is well maintained, and they are constantly cleaning and upgrading the grounds. I highly recommend it to couples and even to families as they have activities for all ages. The food in the restaurants is a bit higher priced than expected, but aside from that everything else was spectacular!

Very nice but very expensive, the food was expensive, and you are not allowed to bring anything in. Very clean and very nice, but bring a fat wallet.

My family and I loved this resort and used almost all of their activities. The location, food, and service quality makes it a 10/10. Many activities to choose from, we did the banana boat, jet ski, pools and photo shoot with the clear canoe. It was a standalone Boracay! The staff is awesome, aside from taking your orders, they point out things to do to make your stay more enjoyable, where to take instagramable pics, offer breads to feed fish so they gather around you. They go above and beyond! We’ll definitely go back.
