The Website is dry and lack of new pictures and the place is far from main land mactan where the the airport is located but the island is so beautiful and the staff are very nice. The Resort Manager is so smart and very knowledgeable. He even help his staff during the busy day. The resort is crowded during lunch... More

We went there just for one night and went to another island before so that we were only there when there was no day guest. So close to mactan and far from everything, we were almost the only one to sleep there. Great snorkeling, very photogenic jetty and cool balcony. Having said that the accommodation is totally basic and the... More

Firstly, if you are looking for exciting nightlife, then this resort is NOT for you. The island it is on is tiny - about the size of a football pitch - but if you like relaxing and just lazing around, this place is great for a few days. And with no wifi or mobile phone coverage, you are guaranteed peace... More

my family and i stayed there for 1 night. you'd be impressed at first glance. fish and marine life scattered on the sea floor, amazing! but after a while, we got bored, especially the kids. they don't have electricity which is understandable becoz nalusuan is a small island, 30-45 minutes away from the mainland. however, they do have a generator...

This tiny and just gorgeous island can be walked across in less than 2 minutes. The food is great, the employees are so friendly and professional. Our rooms were # 14 and 15. They are located right above the water wih an incredible view! At night we could hear and see the fish swimming and feeding below our balcony. The... More

couldn't help but be underwhelmed when the boat pulled up to the jetty (the outrageously expensive boat, at that)... rooms were rustic, but nice,overpriced and had a bad ant problem. the balcony had a great view but just wasnt that comfortable and pretty crammed. indifferent staff and awful overpriced food, combined with hundreds of day trippers flooding the island every...

Thanks for a great week to Raymond and Michael Mendoza for helping us set up a nice few days away from Manila. Make sure you dive the area and ask for the sea food. Great place to relax and get back to nature.

But there was an issue when they informed me that there was no room available for the dates I selected though I got an email that stated i successfully reserved the room. They... More

The snorkeling here is just fantastic! The rooms are basic but comfortable enough. The staffs are nice as well and helpful. The whole area is clean and not tired. If there's something to improve right away, i think it should be the food. It is not bad but it's not that good as well.

This has got to be the best snorkeling I ever did in Philippines - and I didn't even have to move around much for it! Often (especially in the morning and evening when the water was still and totally transparent), you could see starfish, corals, and beauriful colourful coral fish right from the verandah. On - first the resort -... More
