The resort is a stunning place right by a beautiful, secluded beach, perfect for relaxation. The rooms are comfortable, and I appreciated the proximity to downtown Bantayan for dining options. However, the dining experience was quite frustrating due to poor restaurant service, which overshadowed an otherwise lovely stay. It's definitely a value for a peaceful getaway, but dining could use significant improvements.

This resort offers a great beachfront view and cozy accommodations, perfect for families looking to relax and enjoy the beauty of the beach. The staff is accommodating, and the atmosphere is laid-back. However, there is no TV in the rooms, and the food service could definitely use some improvement as the wait can be a hassle. All in all, it's an excellent choice for a peaceful getaway.

I had high hopes for this resort given its stunning beachfront location and promise of a great vacation. While the beach lived up to its reputation for beauty, the overall experience was marred by significant issues. My room was cozy and clean, making for a comfortable stay, but the restaurant service was shockingly poor, which overshadowed the positives. Overall, I would reconsider visiting, but only if major improvements are made, especially in dining.

The idyllic location offered beautiful sunrises and easy access to nearby activities, but the facilities were rather outdated. Overall, I felt the value for money was lacking due to the service issues.
