We were very happy staying at Buena Vida. The place was clean and comfortable and to me what made it great was that the staff was so helpful and polite especially the main receptionist we called her “Nelly”. The bedroom was well equipped and the breakfast was delicious, and there is a resting area for own room with couches and a hammock

Me and my girlfriend spent two nights here and they were so accommodating. This was the favourite part of our trip to Philippines , the canyoneering is a must do when you’re there !! Ken was so helpful he drove us around everywhere we wanted to go and also took us to a few waterfalls we didn’t know about which turned out to be awesome. I couldn’t rate these guys any higher an overall fantastic experience thank you
