    We loved everything! The entire place is gorgeous—everything is sooo pretty and thoughtfully designed. Location is great with direct beach access. Food was yummy. Staff were super accommodating. Best of all, it’s a Zero Carbon resort! 👍🏼 Couldn’t have asked for more. A little pricey but you get what you pay for. Would love to come back!

    Hotel charges high price for anything extra (we paid 2000 pesos for laundery/pressing and we did not ask for the pressing) Better to book yourself the tricycle as hotel will try to take advantage and charge higher prices.. (they have tried it with us) Restaurant prices are on the high end, food is good though. You can find plenty of local stalls by walking on the beaches

    Private beach Swimming pool The room is very cleaned Transfer to airport/ferry is included

    Location is a little far from Alona - PHP200 one way. But you need to use tricycle from any other good place in Panglao.

    Very beautiful territory, nice swimming pool and a good beach. Please pass special thanks to the security guard on the beach who was very attentive to us, our belongings and our daughter.

    A dream vacation
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Superior Double or Twin Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The beach in front is not the best but 10 minutes down the road it is better, there are bugs in the room and big lizards around (of course it is to be expected when you are in nature! just be prepared so you are not shocked), and I was a bit disappointed that the services suggested by the hotel were so marked up. E.g. scooter rental for 800 pesos, when the going rate is 500-600. Actually we got a good scooter on our own for 400 by the beach... They called a trike for 400 each way to go to the bridge, about 20 minutes. We paid 1500 for a 2.5-3 hr ride the day before on our own. Please don't take advantage just because guests can't make their own phone calls to get a proper deal, it is not worth it to leave a bitter taste when everything else is perfect.

    I don't even know how to begin to praise this resort. We arrived at night and once the gate opened, everything was decorated with lights, and walking into the property felt like we were in a dream. They have a beautiful pool, vegetable garden, boutique shop, games area, art gallery, and more that we probably did not have time to explore in the 2 days we were there. But everything you set your eye on in this place is a work of art in itself. "Attention to detail" is an understatement. The staff was wonderful, the food was delicious, and everything felt luxurious. The cost is super reasonable for what you get. I wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you so much for this experience.
