I stayed here in March with my fiance and again last week. It is a very beautiful hidden gem in the Orient and a bargain. The fried garlic peanuts are wonderful as are the staff. She had fish and I had curry chicken, amazing food
Food good and not pricey but misleading. A sign for Shakes CLEARLY says 60 PHP but inside the restaurant ANOTHER sign says 70 PHP. Very nice manager, the ladyboy servers were so-so in the restaurant, actually rude to my lady. They said breakfast was at 6:30 and not 6 am. So she went to the buffet intended for the Muslim conference and got us a plate. One morning we were not served coffee and eggs, they said they did not have any. Yeah sure The next day coffee and eggs were included. This place despite restaurant issues was indeed amazing. It takes a boat to get there from the enchanted river. 150 PHP about $3 USD Island Hopping for 2 was 500 PHP. I swam with a shark and Stingray for only 20 PHP (about 20 USA Cents!) I cannot wait for the Zipline to come through. I will be back because this place is magical, well kept and very beautiful!
The hotel was ok, the room was fine,the only problem was the lack of WiFi trying to communicate outside is hard I don't blame them..just wish the WiFi was able in rooms and wish they stay up longer the restrauant for late dinner.

Thank you Don for the suggestions...we are at the mercy of the 1990's internet in the Philippines. ;-( I will talk to the staff about keeping the restaurant open an extra hour until 10 pm... but breakfast starts about 5 am for early travelers......hope you loved our Seafoods!
Fun having you here! See you again.....
