We stayed 2 nights to do snorkling in the area, and could easily have stayed more.
I've had a look at some of the negative reviews and either these people are noob travellers, or stupid.
There IS a bit of a long questionnaire at check-in but its for the divers so we just skipped it.
Have no idea what reviews are talking about when they say the staff are unattentive. they were excellent. everyone greeting you as soon as you passed.
the food was good, a la carte, the breakfast very filling.
Lastly and this will affect anyone diving or swimming with a female. they have tampons! the philippines doesnt have them! spent a whole day searching the whole island only to come back and find that they have them behind the desk.
minute 1 mark from the neighbourhood score just because it is in the middle of nowhere so if you do need to go out you need to walk 100 m to the road. find during the day, a tinny bit sketchy during the night.
minus one mark on the hotel service, because as nice as they are, the port shuttle service is the most expensive i've seen. 13USD per person one way. It's more than a bit high. could almost understand it if it was per trip as they do need to go there and back.
