    To no fault of their own, current vehicle access is quite limited, so some walking and lifting is required. Wifi access wouldn't reach the extension, but that's not really why we came to vacation in paradise anyway 😀

    The staff immediately made us feel like family and valued guests. We stayed in the extension, but it wasn't a very long walk to the facility or beach. Of course we enjoyed the pile of fur babies and their parents to play with. We jokingly named one of our favorites "Mocha" and would love updates on her in the future 😀.

    The food was delicious, but I recommend expanding the variety of options, particularly in seafood dishes.

    The resort's beauty is unparalleled, situated right beside the beach with its powdery sands and clear blue sea. The room offers both coziness and ample space, and the restaurant is exceptionally charming. One improvement I would recommend is diversifying their food options, especially in the seafood menu. Despite this, our stay was fantastic, and we look forward to returning. Additionally, they are a pet-friendly resort, and their resident dogs are incredibly friendly.

    Our room was a bit small and dark. Bathroom was quite old and was in need of updating. The rooms at the front of the resort were much nicer! But we only used it to sleep so didn’t worry us too much.

    Absolutely beautiful location, lovely staff and great food. We had the best 3 days staying with you. Such a fantastic hotel. Really easy to get to Alona if you want to and staff are helpful at arranging trike rides. Food in restaurant was delicious. Staff made it though, so friendly and welcoming!

    Mix room. Hope they can separate (if possible) female to female, and male to male room only 😊 Hot drinking water is not easily accessible. Shower heater not working properly. No outlet for each bed.

    Nice view of beach and beach front. Peaceful and Clean. Nice resort over all if you want to relax away from city. Family friendly too with children. Very nice resort as it's spacious. Perfect beach view.

    The listing described a 15 min walk to get to the property. I think it’s an understatement. It’s a trek! Place is generally not kid-friendly. I’d say it’s for backpackers. The first room that we were put it smelled. The toilet’s flush is broken, the room is underdone in general, only one plug for the whole room, the air conditioning is barely working. We were moved to a different room the next day. I thought it’s all going well, but the next morning somebody was burning the garbage. I was well aware that this is how they dispose of the garbage in the Philippines. But the smoke is directly towards our room. We woke up at 5:30am not being able to breathe because our room was filled with smoke. Mind you, we have a 7 month old with us and 3 of us are asthmatic.

    The resort is beachfront indeed. Amazing view and it’s not crowded. Staffs at the bar are nice. Receptionist is okay but not very friendly to Filipinos.

    The location is quite a hassle. The road is not yet developed but thankfully, they arranged a service for pick up and drop off point and the staffs are very helpful with our things.

    The beach is sooooooo beautiful. The staffs are very accommodating and the place is so quiet. Perfect for slow and chill days on the beach

    There were some problems with having running water some days, but it’s the fault of the city from what I gathered. The wifi is working only near the front desk and is not very efficient. Also, like it has been said multiple times through the reviews, the road is not yet openned, so it’s a 10 min walk to go to the parking area, which is not directly on the street. That means that you depend on the staff to call you a tuk tuk for it to wait for you at the parking area. The best thing would be to rent a motorbike for your entire stay and leave it at the parking area, so you don’t always have to wait.

    Located on one of the most beautiful white beaches of Panglao (much more peaceful than Alona) You can walk a long time and pass by some beach restaurants and other resorts. For the price, the dorm is so worth it. Staff is very kind, nice and helpful. Restaurant onsite and bar are opened late and have nice options.

    Nice restaurant and bar but portions are tiny and prices are high. Wi-Fi didn't work 50% of time. For breakfast it's meal only so if you want coffee it's paid extra, so weird.

    Great location, just at the beach. Beautiful garden. You can really relax there. Rooms are very simple but OK for the price paid.

    Water supply runs out daily for several hours. Hopefully they placed a barrel with a hose from where one can desalinize a bit. Toilet-bathroom is not the best thing, but functional. Access is a mess. Once leaving the car, after the walking downslope, there is a sign to go for the hotel going right into a muddy very dark, scary and slippery trail. You can just ignore that and go straight until the beach and then walk to the right 5-10 min until the hotel. It is much better.

    Just in front of a good beach. Nice relaxing ambient. We were having a room with toilet. Read about the noisy aircon, but it is not that bad. Together with the ceiling fan, it is rather quite efficient.

    No hot water at all, so, having a shower in the evening-night can be unpleasant.

    The room was incredibly spartan, the bathroom is tiny and could use a few adds to help the guests such as a small cabinet to leave the beauty bag or similar. The sink was so small that was not possible to leave anything nearby (toothpaste, soap etc). The common area though is beautiful and the entrance from the beach (and its view) it's priceless!

    Whoever is traveling with a big suitcase - getting there might be a challenge but it's also part of the fun!!

    The rooms are quite basic but let's be honest - you're not going to the Philippines to stay inside the whole day. I loved the Dumaluan beach - so pristine and quiet, unlike Alona, offering stunning sunsets and great snorkeling. The food and drinks were very nice as well. The highlight was definitely the lovely staff, I enjoyed daily chats at the bar, always helpful and cheerful reception.

    Accessibility. Wi-Fi from our room was not good.

    The Barman OneBall is super. Really nice vibe in his bar near the lobby. Location is right next to the sea but there’s quite a wall from the parking area to get to this property. Could be a little bit tough with a lot of luggage. Dinner at restaurant was good. Gave us a packed Philippino breakfast as we had to leave at 6am prior to their breakfast time. Nice relaxing lobby area with deck chairs overlooking the sea.
