This place probably has the best view in town. The staff was amazing, and Yuli, the owner, was right there alongside them making sure my stay was unforgettable. If you’re renting a car, I’d suggest parking near the Reggae Island Bar, which is about a beautiful 20-minute walk to the hotel with incredible views and plenty of spots along the way to grab water, beer, or snacks. You can also take a tuk tuk, which is super cheap and only about 5 minutes to the hotel. Highly recommend this place!

So disappointed in this hotel. Did so much research to find the best location and accommodations and nothing was as it appeared. All the photos on the various sites were from some years ago. The rooms were poorly maintained. There wasn’t even access to the water from the hotel. The staff was amazing and that’s the only reason I am even giving stars. I’d never stay there again.

Disliked: Cleanliness
It was horrible i wouldn’t recommend anyone this hotel, they scammed us with the prices of the beach shoes and the google. Costed us 200 per person per day, and the general price EVERYWHERE is 100. Her excuse was that if we booked then it would be 100 but nobody told us that till we had to pay. The signs said as well 100 pesos in the hotel. The food wasn’t that good either for the price and when you showered it would come a sewer smell. They had ants as well in the bathroom that came into the room and going for our food. The breakfast was very bad, had very few options and they weren’t standard ”hotel breakfast”. In conclusion i wouldn’t recommend this to anyone, the only thing positive was the nice lady in the reception.

The room been a little smelly, shower pressure was bad and need replacement same as door for the room because i had hard time to close it from the inside. Lots of dead insects swimming in the pool and nobody to clean it, also the water was salty so probably pumped from the sea, so we didn't really used it. The view was Great the area peaceful, staff tried best but a lot need to be done to make the resort up to standards.

We had the most wonderful stay here, thanks to Ate Rhose, Oli, and the entire team. Despite our very late arrival (past midnight after a 5-hour van transfer from Puerto Princesa), they were incredibly welcoming from the moment we arrived. Almost all the rooms are seafront, so we woke up to incredible views of the bay and the opposite islets every morning. The service was also top-notch; they offered free shuttles to the town square and organized several activities for us. The team was always available and went above and beyond. I would definitely stay here again!
