It’s a perfect getaway for families and friends. Even though just one night but it is worth it. There are plenty of activities to enjoy here, especially if you make full use of the services they offer. I love how peaceful it is, it really helps you relax and unwind. The room was huge and the service is excellent.

Stayed here with my husband and my baby. The private pool ocean view villa was awesome but there was a leak in the bathroom. Everything was great but the facility needs an update. Also, if they can have a baby changing station at the lobby's bathroom and the restaurant to make it easy to guest with babies.

Quite honestly, for foreign travellers looking to see a bit of the Philippines.....don't waste your money on this resort. Our beach front villa with pool was fantastic however the service at this resort was very inconsistent (housekeeping, grounds staff, pool cleaners, service in the restaurant and room service) and the location too far out of the way to see most anything else. The beaches were nicer in Malapascua and Bantayan as well. We had booked for 13 nights and by day 4 were looking at leaving and going to another hotel in the south of Cebu, closer to all the attractions like whale sharks, water falls etc. No go, as we were told that once checked in we were responsible for the total cost of the stay! Also some price inconsistency going on - the front desk told us on a Sun that the price of an Island Hopping tour on the hotel boat was 18,000.00 pesos. Three days later when we enquired again with intention of booking, the price had jumped to 22,000.00 pesos. Of note, by using a tuktuk, local ferry, scooter rental and local boat off Bantayan we calculated the price to be less than 4000.00. Only one restaurant on site and although the food was good, service was very inconsistent and the menu quickly got old. Of note, there were no other restaurants within walking distance and even in Daanbantayan there was only one other restaurant serving the same type of food and a Jolibees. Relaxing trip, comfortable bed, friendly people but for the price, quite disappointing!

Our room was nice and spacious, and clean. Food was excellent, except for the Valentine's day dinner. There were two choices, and my wife had the pasta. Her pasta was cold and a lot firmer than al dente. The chicken parm was tasteless. My cheesecake for desert arrived at my table frozen. Can't even slice it with a knife. They should've stuck with native cuisine. My wife loves italian food, but that was nowhere near it. BTW, the front door entrance to our hotel is treacherous. The door landing was high, and you can't notice it because of the same color rug in front of it. I tripped on it, and bruised my toes. They should've at least put a sign there to watch your step. Ironically, it happened to my wife the next day.
