Запазете го, ако You want the 'Maldives of the Philippines' experience—overwater villas and limestone cliffs—without the seaplane trek to Amanpulo.

Защо хората я обичат

  • Stunning limestone cliff backdrop that feels cinematic
  • True private island exclusivity (no random day-trippers)
  • Overwater villas that rival more famous destinations

Бързо резюме: A visual masterpiece that charges five-star prices for a four-star service experience.

Преглеждано от @marwin_says: I spent my entire trip just lounging on this deck. The view of the limestone cliffs is even better in person, and having a private pool made it feel so exclusive. If you are stressed out, you need to book this villa.

The hype

Guests are blown away by the natural beauty and villa design but often find the food prices and consistency don't quite match the luxury price tag.

Reality check

The beach is rocky at low tide—you cannot swim barefoot 24/7 like in Boracay.

  • You are a honeymooner seeking privacy and 'water villa' bragging rights
  • You want to island hop without the crowds (resort boats leave before the public tours)
  • You love nature more than nightlife

Чистота и поддръжка

9.6
  • Housekeeping: Impeccable. Daily service with turndown. Guests consistently rate cleanliness as the resort's strongest point.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling. Modern fixtures, though open-air designs can invite the occasional ant or gecko.
  • Maintenance: Generally excellent, though the harsh salt air means constant upkeep is visible (painting, wood treatment).
  • Linens & towels: High quality, fresh, and plentiful.
  • Odors & scents: Fresh sea breeze; no complaints of mustiness despite the humidity.

Преди да резервирате

Добре е да знаете

  • The resort is a 'wet landing'—you may have to wade through knee-deep water to get off the boat.
  • El Nido airport (Lio) is 15-20 mins from the jetty; the resort handles the boat transfer but you must align with their schedule.
  • Eco-Tourism Development Fee (ETDF) of ~PHP 200-400/person is collected separately.

Какво да пакувате

  • Aqua shoes/reef shoes (essential for the rocky low-tide beach)
  • Dry bag for boat transfers (protect electronics from splashes)
  • Cash (PHP) for tips and eco-fees (credit card terminals can be spotty)

Джинийче за стаята

Топ избори

  • Water Villas: The star attraction. Best for privacy and direct ocean access.
  • Beach View Villas: Good compromise if you want sand at your doorstep, but less private than water villas.

Стаи за избягване

  • Lagoon Villas: Guests report they feel smaller, darker, and lack luggage space compared to ocean-facing options.
  • Villas near the jetty/arrival area: Prone to noise from boat traffic.

“Request a Water Villa away from the main jetty for maximum privacy, or a Beach Villa on the far end to avoid foot traffic.”

Често задавани въпроси и скрити съвети

Всичко, което наистина трябва да знаеш, преди да резервираш.

Is the food all-inclusive?

No. Breakfast is usually included, but lunch and dinner are à la carte and pricey (Mains ~$12-20 USD). Full board packages exist but check the math first.

Can I swim in the ocean?

Yes, but best at high tide. At low tide, the bottom is rocky and coral-heavy. Use the infinity pool or wear reef shoes.

Is there a gym?

Yes, a decent fitness center with basic cardio equipment and a rowing machine.

How do I get there?

Fly AirSwift to El Nido (Lio Airport). Take the resort's van to the pier (15 mins), then their boat to the island (30-45 mins).

Is it kid-friendly?

Technically yes, but it's designed for couples. No kids' club, and the water villas/cliffs can be safety hazards for toddlers.

Is there cell service?

Spotty. Smart and Globe signals drift in and out. Rely on the resort Wifi for basic comms.

Съвети на инсайдъра

  • ✨

    Book the resort's private island hopping tour instead of a shared one—they leave earlier to beat the crowds to Big Lagoon.

  • ✨

    Happy Hour at the pool bar offers the best value for drinks; otherwise, cocktails are $10+.

  • ✨

    If you have a late flight out, the resort may let you hang out at their mainland lounge near the pier.

5 неща, които трябва да знаете преди да отидете

  • 💡The 'sand' on the main beach is coarse and mixed with broken coral, not powder-soft.

  • 💡You are a captive audience for food; there are no other restaurants on the island.

  • 💡The 'Lagoon' is man-made/enhanced and can feel a bit stagnant compared to the open ocean.

  • 💡Stairs are everywhere—if you are in a Hillside/Resort View villa, prepare for a workout.

  • 💡Monitor lizards (bayawak) roam the grounds freely—they are harmless but can be startling.
