Pros:

Beautiful isolated island resort. Perfect if you want to slow down and relax. Once you are on the island you are pretty much stuck there unless you organise a trip. But there is so much to do on the island. The snorkeling was amazing with lots of fish and reef, there’s stand up paddle boards to hire and a nice pool. Staff are extremely friendly and very accommodating. It’s more expensive than you would expect for the Philippines, so be prepared to pay a little bit more. However, it’s still cheaper than what you would normally pay in Australia.

We would highly recommend still though. It was a great end to our honeymoon.

Pros:

The staff were outstanding. Everyone was welcoming and nothing was too much trouble

Cons:

It was pretty expensive. And because you needed a boat from them to get to mainland you had to pay the high price if you wanted to go off and do things.

The staff in the dive shop are brilliant, special thanks to Christian & Eric. We could not have wished for better guides.
The welcome & good bye songs beautiful.
I cannot wait to return.

Plus beau séjour des philippines !
Pros:

Toute l’équipe est incroyable, un service impeccable. Le lieu est magique et tranquille, un coin idéal pour se reposer après certains lieux touristiques plus « fatigants » des philippines. Il ne faut pas avoir peur de la distance avec la ville, tout est super sur place, il y a tellement à faire : randonnée, snorkeling, kayak et paddle tout inclus. Nous avons fait l’excursion d’une journée à coron et c’était vraiment merveilleux, l’équipe était fantastique là encore et d’autres excursions sont offertes. Nous sommes partis de la les yeux pleins d’eau. Nous sommes reconnaissants pour nos 4 jours là-bas!

Cons:

Rien

Romantischer Ort wie im Film - Unfassbar schön.
Pros:

Wir haben diese Unterkunft ausgewählt, da sie nahe dem Flughafen lag, doch wir haben nichts erwartet. Als wir aber angekommen sind, hat es uns den Boden unter den Füßen weggezogen. Das Personal hat einen Willkommenssong gesungen und uns begrüßt. Die Anlage ist wie aus einem Film, traumhaft schön und super romantisch. Es ist einer der besten Plätze, die wir je besuchten.
Auch die Küche und das Restaurant sind hervorragend. Es gibt alles und wir haben alles durchprobiert, vom Steak über traditionelle Küche bis Fisch und Bürger. Alles ist top. Das vorgelagerte Riff ist fantastisch zum Tauchen und der Hauseigene Dive Shop mit Tauchguide nur zu empfehlen. Der hauseigene Strand und der Pier mit Bar sind wie ein Märchen. Ich dachte, solche Orte gibt es nur im Film, doch es war Realität. Wir haben uns an dem Ort so wohl gefühlt, dass wir mit Tränen in den Augen abgereist sind. Danke auch an das Super Team, immer freundlich und super hilfsbereit. Auch die Touren, die Sie für uns organisiert haben, waren sehr zu empfehlen.

Cons:

Dass der Urlaub so schnell vorbei ging und wir nicht noch mehr Zeit für diesen Ort eingeplant hatten.

Pros:

Amazing location, great personnel, nice range of activities :)

Cons:

Perhaps the price-quality ratio would be more reasonable if the price was a bit lower, compared to other resorts and the offering. I would definitely come again if the rate was lower, or the quality of offering was a bit higher.

El mejor resort en el que nos hemos alojado
Pros:

Hemos pasado unos días perfectos en El Río y Mar. Nos facilitaron un traslado gratuito desde el aeropuerto hasta el alojamiento, al que llegamos en un barquito y nos recibieron con una canción.
Tanto el personal como las instalaciones y la comida del restaurantes son exquisitos.
Nos hubiésemos quedado mucho más tiempo.

Cons:

Nos gustó todo

World Class Resort
Pros:

Efficiency of Airport Transfer with zero minute waiting. Staff are so warm and polite. House reefs are excellent. Committed to eco-tourism. There are so many things to do on the island, from hiking up to the hill to just chilling in the hammock listening to waves. We felt so pampered. Very safe place, even at night. The owner, Ms. Menchi, took time to check on us how our stay - well appreciated this. There's a diving centre withib the resort, which is very handy.

Cons:

Pillows is a little flat, but there are 6 pillows in our room. So, I can't complain. 🙂.
