    Stunning location, extremely friendly and helpful manager who arranged an island hopping tour for us. Simple but delicious food and drinks. We also made use of the kayak and took a trip over to snake island. Overall, the perfect place to spend a few nights!

    Wi-fi was a bit unstable and sometimes lost. Variety of the food options is limited.

    Exclusive property, private small beach, lush jungle right behind it. Variety of excursions available for your choice - tour C was excellent. The flexibility to accommodate our need for an early check-out.

    Nothing everything was great.

    Quiet hide away from the rest of the world. A beautiful tropical get away. Private speed boat tour in the morning (full or half day) enabled us to get ahead of the tourist crowds and noise. We were able to enjoy beaches by ourselves on many occasions. Fully catered, we didn't have to do anything but snorkel kyack swim read go on tours sleep eat....the photos don't do it justice. A great unwind and total relax. Loved the peace and quiet. Easy airplane to taxi to boat transfer - all arranged for us. Even for early flights. Thanks Erica our stay was excellent.

    There are not really interesting snorkeling spot around the resort. You need to go far from resort by Kayak. So if it is windy season, there are not so much things to do apart from relax on the beach. ;-)

    So quiet and relaxing. It is an expensive resort but worth it if you are seeking a quiet place. Food was great. Room was very clean. No insect :-)

    I liked the superb view of ocean and islands, the intimate scale of the resort with only 5 bunglows, the friendly and helpful staff and proprietor, the simplicity and lack of pretense, and the privacy that the resort afforded with its own beach in a secluded cove.

    I would say be prepared to cut your days short as it takes 15 mins to get to the island via boat into main town. So expected to be back at the port at 4-5:30pm. But you can do plenty before that time. Secondly the WiFi was weak, it would be great to see that boosted!

    The property is on a private island with breathtaking views. It’s family owned so there’s a real sense of inclusiveness with Alex and his team. Food is excellent as well as the amenities. Private boat tour is highlight of the stay. You avoid large touristic crowds and enjoy the islands till your hearts content with Alex’s team. Who by the way are amazing!

    Alex and his team provided amazing start to end service, making sure there was someone at each stop upon arrival to make sure we arrived safely from taxi drop off to boat port all the way through to our accomodation. he also made sure we made it safely to our next destination with that same service. he’s staff went above and beyond to cater to our every needs. everyone was extremely friendly and joyful. the attention to detail made everything extra special making our stay feel extremely high end. The staff took time out to show us how to make some tradition bamboo style origami and there tours and tour guides were amazing making us feel extremely safe and well taken care of. Also the private beach cottages are amazing, walking out the door directly onto sand on the beach. the sound of the ocean made our sleeps peacefull. the rooms themselves are extremely spacious. there are a maximum of 10 guests at this accomodation making everything very quiet and peaceful making it feel like we were the only ones on the whole island. Be sure to try their missionary drink at the bar made by bing and sherrel! the two best people we met during our whole travels :)

    I loved that it is family owned and only has 5 rooms, so you feel the personalized attention to details. Alex, the owner, provides a speed boat, with captain and tour crew that are very knowledgeable and very efficient. We didn’t have to go at the pace of major tour operators, and we could choose how long to stay at each destination. We have three kids (between ages 5-10) as well as my two elderly parents and the crew was very helpful and patient on every trip with them. We spent my daughter’s 8th birthday there and Erica and family went out of their way to make it very special for her, they really thought of everything from favorite foods to cake and decorations and even how to surprise her. During our three weeks in the Philippines, we visited over 19 beaches, the Kudugman beach was the cleanest and softest sand and calm enough waves for our kids to enjoy.
