Stayed here for 3 nights 4 days and My husband and I had a great time. Although, I wouldn’t stay here longer than that. There’s no planned activities during the day and we kinda got bored on the 3rd day. It’s about an hour boat ride from the main land so you need to pretty much eat and chill on the resort. Food was great and they were very accommodating to all our needs. The spa was amazing and I got the best massage there. Wish they had a gym or planned activities during the day. Connection isn’t that great and only worked near the reception area. I felt really bad for the other restaurant staff cause I generally would tip a lot and there was this was staff member that kept taking over our table even though we were first served by someone else. The bartenders were all nice and were really good at their job. Better than bartenders I see here in Canada. Overall the stay was great and would take the kids here next time.

A super family getaway!

A very good place for a getaway from the busy city life, especially with family. Though the internet did not work well and no TV, there but it was indeed a good option for a retreat, with easy access to the beach and pools, with assorted recreation activities. Even there was an art house where the artist taught kids to create sand art. Very friendly and nice staff. One of the best experience!

Nice wildlife but so-so beach and terrible room

VERY very worn-out rooms. No view from the room as the windows are frosted. Aircon is incredibly old and noisy. This being said, we did not expect an amazing room and came mainly for the beach and wildlife. The wildlife was amazing, with baby sharks swimming in the lagoon and a huge mangrove that was a nursery for stingrays and probably many other creatures. Snorkelling is great to the right of the pier (ie. not in the designated snorkelling area!). The beach was not good, it gets muddy as soon as you step in the water and many weeds - there is no clean sandy lagoon to swim in. Sand is nice out of the water but the beach area is quite small since most of the shoreline is covered with mangrove. Overall, expensive for Philippines.

This property has to be reviewed in context of the price it charges which is extremely competitive. The free shuttle from airport to wharf and then boat transfer to Sos Palmas were highly efficient. The resort is very beautiful and the high light was a gorgeous coral reef several hundred metres from the resort which provides half hourly free boat ride to a permanent pontoon. Spent a couple of hours snorkeling every day there. There is a free boat transfer to an uninhabited island nearby with sand bars worth doing once. The restaurant has excellent food choices and the buffet is fabulous with different food types ever night. Highly recommended. Beersare very reasonable at 90 pesos each. The large swimming pool in front of restaurant is gorgeous. There should be more shades around the pool eg umbrellas. The villas are large though relatively basic and they turn electricity off twice a day am and pm so be sure to turn aircon on again as the room gets heated up quite quickly and even at full blast it never goes below 24 C which is comfortable enough. All the staffs were polite and helpful. Overall we had a fantastic time and would definitely come back!

Island Paradise

We stayed for 3 nights. Really helpful staff when it came to organising transport to Honda Bay and the boat to the island. The boat ride was rough on the way to the island but very calm on the way back. I would recommend sea sickness tablets if you get travel sick. All the staff on the island are really friendly especially Janus who always looked after us at every meal. We went snorkeling every day and the equipment provided is in good condition. The rooms are clean and aircon works well.

It was average but the staff were friendly and courteous. Improve on food choices. It's an island and they don't serve grilled seafood. No WiFi and TV in the rooms! Bring your own entertainment gadgets.

We liked the friendly resort staff and good communication with the front office, the main beach, sunsets, views of Palawan and other islands, kayaking, the main pool, some of the food for vegans. We did not like that some resort staff could not speak English, plastic and other trash just lying around and low level of cleanliness in general, lazy attitude of some resort staff, there was no gym, no internet connection and no TV in rooms, very limited menu for lunch and dinner if you’re vegan.
