Awesome!
I & my wife really had an amazing time at Buko Beach. We visited this July 2023, and the receptionist Arlyn was so kind and nice. She was able to book us Island hopping tour trip and other activities. We really enjoyed our time there. It was superb. Overall the hotel workers treated us so kindly and with a warm smile all the time. Worthy visiting.

Stunning property with incredible views
Absolutely charming hotel with individual bungalows. Very comfortable and generous sized. Very eco friendly. Great food and the staff are phenomenally attentive and go over and above to ensure your every want and need are met. Incredible sunset view from the restaurant and beach.

Stay here!
There isn’t enough characters to say just how much we loved this place. From the moment we checked in we were greeted by the most friendly front desk with welcome drink and towel. They took the time to ask if we were celebrating anything and when we told them we just got engaged days prior to our arrival they went above and beyond to decorate our room with balloons, fresh flowers, a signed card and wine! The room was super comfortable and clean. Loved the outdoor bathroom and shower! The resort is small and feels relaxing but still super central to everything. Super impressed the staff got to know us and knew our names. Included breakfast was beyond our expectations, it was fresh and large portions. Highly recommend the mango banana pancakes - I still dream about these! Pool is super nice and provides a perfect place to have a happy hour cocktail from the restaurant and watch the sunset. We wish we could have stayed longer!

Buko Beach Resort has a absolute fantastic staff! Everyone was extremely friendly and went above and beyond in helping us feel safe and welcome. The kitchen was efficient with our delicious meals. We stayed at the Grand Villa because we had children with us at the property. The personal pool was amazing and well worth the stay as our children enjoyed it immensely. The rooms themselves were spacious and clean! Plenty of room to spread out and relax. There are a few areas for improvement. The 2 lower en-suite bathrooms were open to the outdoors without any netting for mosquitoes. This made using the bathroom in the mornings and evenings difficult when fighting off the mosquitoes. We were provided mosquito incense burners, however it was not enough. I must’ve killed 4-6 mosquitoes for every bathroom trip. We ended up stringing an extra bedsheet over the opening and that made a world of difference. If the resort would have attached even a net over the door openings in the bathrooms, that would still allow fresh air in but prevent bugs from entering, that would improve comfort and usability greatly. A few other things were slightly broken- 1 shower downstairs had very, very little water pressure with very little hot water, 1 toilet leaked (though clean water), the wi-fi was dismal at best. Overall though for friends and family of 8, it was a great experience with amazing staff.

Thanks for your feedback Mick, we will share it with our fantastic team.Our manager and owner have recently carried out a review of the Villa and highlighted a number of the issues that you have raised, but we really appreciate you highlighting them too. The mosquitos do seem particularly nasty this season and, whilst we love the outdoor feel of the bathrooms, we will look into ways of keeping the unwanted guests out of the bathrooms :)Once again, thank you for your great review and warm wishes from the whole team.

The area and the houses are trully beautifully designed, arranged and maintained. We loved them. The food for the price could be better and non-existence of internet connection make everyone abandon the garden area in the evenings (sorry, we still need to check things/book/arrange, although it’s holidays).

Dear Arminas, We are so happy that you loved our resort cottages. Unfortunately, during your visit, we were awaiting a technician from our internet provider and being in a remote area of an island this sometimes takes longer than desirable. There was an alternative service provided but we do understand that this was quite slow. Regards, Teresa

Liked: Staff & service
The staff is the best thing about the hotel! Super nice and accommodated as much as possible. The resort is a short tricycle ride into downtown and other areas. Drinks were good! A little more quiet than the next door resort but not necessarily a bad thing. Wish there were more Filipino dishes as options for meals. Can’t complain about the complimentary breakfast though! Outside bathroom was pretty unique idea! Wish there were more lighting, mirrors, blankets and pillows in the rooms though. However, I’d go back just bc the customer service was that good.

Wunderschöne mit Liebe zum Detail ausgestattete cottages, herzliches und sehr aufmerksames Personal. Das Hotel ist eine wunderschöne Oase in der man einige Tage sehr gut relaxen kann. Frühstück und Essen im Allgemeinen sehr lecker ! Schönes Restaurant mit Blick auf den Strand. Der Strand eignet sich nur bedingt zum Baden, dafür gibt es einen sehr schönen Pool.

ホテルはプライベート感があってとても過ごしやすがったです。食事は出てくるのに時間がかかりますが、美味しかったです。ゆっくりした時間がすごせます。 気になった点は他の方の口コミにもあるように、蚊が多いです。蚊取り線香や蚊取りマットを備え付けていますが、お部屋に隙間が多くすぐ蚊の餌食になります。日本から持ってきた虫除けスプレーが効果的でした。
