My girlfriend and I stayed here at the end of a trip through the Philippines. Absolutely recommendable as far as we are concerned. The island on which the resort is located is secluded off the bay of El Nido and is beautiful in its own right. Beautiful vegetation and amazing rock formations. The resort was built with respect for the natural beauty, so it doesn't feel artificial either. The sunset and sunrise hikes are therefore highly recommended. Furthermore, the service was great. Absolutely professional without making it impersonal. From the first to the last person in the resort, everyone was attentive, smiling and clearly committed to giving us the best time as guests. The food was also good to very good. Interior of our villa was spacious and stylish. So, I definitely recommend this resort. Thanks again to all the staff for this wonderful time.

We got to stay at this beautiful resort for 5 nights and it was truly magnificent! I have never seen such beautiful nature and such a unique place. Everyone of the staff was super kind and catered to our needs. Super helpful and sweet! A special shout out to Christian, Paul, Nick, Alwin and Jalil! They were all so kind, but also the rest of the staff deserves a shout out as they were all super great! At first knowing it is a secluded island I was a bit worried if we didn’t get bored with the same restaurant, but they have PLENTY of options on the menu and everything on their menu (yes we almost tried it al!) was truly delicious! So fresh and made with care, you could really tell! We chose the mealplan which I would highly recommend as its great value for money! :) The Spa was amazing, the best massage me and my bf both ever had & we would highly recommend the sunset cruise and island hopping organized by the hotel as you aren’t with 500 other people on 1 boat but get a private feeling even when you are just with a small group. They show the best places. At the hotel itself you can go paddle boarding or snorkling with mini sharks! Would highly recommend and would love to come back one time if I ever get the chance again! Thank you so much for everything :) kind regards, #17
