Peaceful romantic retreate, great service.

This resort is a peaceful retreat, just far enough from busy White Beach or Sabang but with a free shuttle to get you there and back. Great for families or a romantic break, less good for party seekers. The hotel focuses on personal service, and are happy to tell you about and arrange any local activities like diving, boat trips or tours at locally competitive prices. I wouldn't expect a repeat of this, but they were kind enough to teach me to ride a motorbike. The rooms were clean and modern, and the grounds were really nice to just walk around especially if your jetlag lets you watch the sun rise. There is a beautiful mostly private beach at the bottom of the hill, but the walk to it is quite steep so most just get driven to White Beach instead. Negative - Wifi / internet was usable but not fast. You wouldn't want to be working from here. Mobile data is pretty good so get a dongle at the airport. Bathroom was usable but not to the rooms standard.

The Hotel in general is perfect setting if you like overlooking view. The hotel is not really closed to the famous white beach. Our 2 nights stay was affected by water interruption . We called several times because the water supply was intermittently interrupted which is very frustrating. I wish they offe bucket of water to rectify the problem. The staff tried their best sooty you but wish they have alternative in case this happens. Thanka

Overall the utopia resort and spa is a lovely place to stay. The staff are brilliant and will go out there way to help you. There is however a few things that were a little disappointing. Firstly, this is definitely not a five star resort. The access to the beach, that is a 5minute walk from the resort, is steep and

It was a pleasant experience. Service was very good. The only issue was that one of the therapists seem to be inexperienced or lack training. We were told that the therapists were sourced out from a different outfit.

Great place, great people

At first we thought Utopia was too far from the beach. But it's not, especially with the free van that will take you to and from the beach in 5 to 10 minutes. The trade off was excellent views of the islands from the top! The staff were very friendly and efficient. We loved the food too, from Filipino to Italian and British food!

I booked my cousin for their honeymoon. We called the reception to confirm my cousin is coming and if a service can be provided by the resort. Transfer from port to resort is free/complimentary plus they upgraded my cousin's room when they learned that they are coming there for their honeymoon. My cousin was amazed with the view and the resort and sent us photos to thank us. Thanks to the staffs for their arrangements and treatment to their guests. Definitely will recommend this resort to others and next time, we'll go there for a holiday.

Hidden Gem

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Its a short ride away from the local town/harbour up in the hills and surrounded by coconut trees. They have a courtesy mini bus to take you into town, from there you can go and explore Puerto Galera. Tricycle ride back is literally a couple of quid. Lovely hotel with luxury accommodation. Nice gardens. Fantastic countryside and views. Nice swimming pool. Footpath and steps down to a small beach/sea. Restaurant food is excellent and reasonably priced. Try the Philippine curry! Staff were wonderful and helpful in every way. Thank you all for a lovely break.

Very nice and quiet resort!

Nice amenities and great service with a personal note. I have thoroughly enjoyed my stay there! It is located on top of a big hill with stunning views in just about all directions. It's peaceful and quiet and not right on the beach. A shuttle will take you there if you want to go.

A nice place for a quiet get-away.

The Utopia Resort sits upon a hilltop, having spectacular views on three sides. The cottages are cute and comfortable. I used the spa twice, and was pleased with both massages. The staff were faultlessly helpful, and went out of their way to help me with travel arrangements. The food in the restaurant was quite good as well. They did sustain some damage from a typhoon in December, and not all of the repairs had been completed. Mainly affected was the retaining wall at the entrance and some of the area surrounding the pool. Once those repairs are completed (there were men working on them daily), I would rate the facilities a 4 or 5. Do be aware that you have a 10-15 minute drive from the resort to Sabang or White Beach. However, I did find drivers immediately available whenever I needed one.
