“Worth the price.”

Let's get something out of the way, this is a relatively expensive place to stay in within the general area. But, it is worth every penny of it. The resort is built on a hillside. If you don't mind walking up and climbing steps between the rooms, the swimming pool and the main dinning hall, you should be good. It's a low-density property so privacy is guaranteed which I appreciate. Noise is kept to minimal due to resort policy as well. Service is impeccable from the check-in, luggage handling and the turn-down service. All the food we ordered were scumptious. Again, just a bit pricey. The resort fronts a protected reef area and guests are provide with their snorkelling and exploring equipment like glass-bottom kayaks. This reef has house sea turtles in it so bonus points if you see them. Lastly, on a sunny, cloudless day, the sunset along the beach is one of the best in the Philippines. Their deck provides a nice backdrop for it too. Overall, one of my most memorable stay in Anilao. PS: Make sure to try their white sangria for cocktail hour.

“A Home Away From Home”

We have been here more times than I can count. The staff is so kind to us and accommodate our wishes. We are divers and they aren't set up for diving.

We have been here more times than I can count. The staff is so kind to us and accommodate our wishes. We are divers and they aren't set up for diving. They have all of the facilities required however with the exception of a camera room. It is easy to take the camera to the room to service, however. The food is very good and the chef will gladly accommodate any request. Edison and Roul and Angel are very kind to us and have what we want available immediately. The manager, Erwin, has known us a long time and is very trustworthy and helpful. There is a lovely pool which we don't use.

The location is accessible via private car. Staffs are available to help you park and attend to your luggage. They are very helpful, pleasant and courteous. We came as a family with a 2 month old baby and it was easy to make request from them - they provided us with a crib also. Room were incredibly spacious, high ceiling, very classy furniture and curtains; clean room and bathrooms. We love the serenity and privacy of the place, not crowded and not noisy. Food also delicious and worth the price with a generous serving also. Overall, our stay was beyond excellence. Not a cheap resort but definitely worth every penny we paid. We wish to come back again.

“Resort stuck half way in being a luxury boutique resort.”

Great Location. Very nice for snorkeling. Casa Isabella room was very nice. The resort tries to be a luxury botique resort. However from a luxury botique resort, it was a let down in following ways: 1) While the room was really nice, the bathroom was smelling and the flush was not working half the time. 2) The resort claims full board. However when ordering appetizers etc they want to charge separate. While paying for it is not a problem, it felt unpleasant for the staff to keep reminding us on what will be charged and keep a count on the meal. 3) Traveling internationally, we forgot to get local currency. While they loaned some currency for local park fees, they refused give currency to tip the boating staff. Again not a pleasant experience. 4) Being first time in Philipines, the crowded airport and crazy crowd and traffic right outside the arrival gate was overwhelming. The driver left us waiting for 20mins amidst this while he went somewhere far to pick his car. The resort has great potential but seems it stuck half way in creating a nice pleasant experience for international guests or anyone seeking smooth pleasant luxury stay.
