Just a suggestion: The nearby fisherman folks is a community worth tapoing. They can provide the freshiest catch. We were able to buy crabs and fish there but was charged corkage fee. I know that this is a hotel guidelines but this should apply to guest not buying their food in the hotel. We ordered our food in the hotel 3 main courses with desserts and drinks but still ended up paying extra for seafoods not even available in the hitel tht day. They should replace the noozles of their toiletries. I ended up fixing them each time I use them. The heater is not working well. Imagine taking a shower wth water so cold and abruotly changed into HOT water and nack again to COLD all within 2 mins in the shower! That was quite an experiece. What’s commendable are the very helpful staff particularly the security guards, Mae who helped us wth ICE when my daughter had a sprain late at night. Kim our waiter was oarticularly attentive to us as well. Pizza and burgers will be a great addition to ur menu. ##### Cheche Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Victoriano 29 Jan 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I came to this Island to unwind in Balay Kogon but as soon as I arrived I became frustrated and dissappointed as to how they treat their costumer. They lack communication and follow through, they misled the guest (moving to another property). They need to improve their costumer service, they need to be proactive, the cleanliness is appaling, not much activity in the Island to do with, the restaurant doen’t have much choices. I expected more in this property Island but I didn’t get what is there to offer in their website. I am So dissppointed especially the costumer service and their lack of communication before and during in the Island. There is a terrible in the toilet, same is through in their commin toilet. They need to address this issues for the guest to be able to enjoy their stay. They also need to know what to they mean about the word complimentary as I dont think they understand fully. I met the property manager and we discussed a lot of things but not the issues I had with the property. And they have to removed the Balay Kogon in all the booking websites as they used this as a trap for you to booked then it is not available. Shame we didn’t get what we booked for but definitely I will not come back at all. They need to improve in all aspect to be able to be competitive enough. I have never experience such a terrible service in a private island property until this moment. You have potentials develop the people who work in the property. ##### Victoriano Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ERWIN 13 May 2025 I would recommend this beautiful beach resort, I will definitely come back and stay at this place. ##### ERWIN Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Antonio 16 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The staff was outstanding!!!

Staff is wonderful, patient, funny and brings that local Sicogon hospitality that is unmatched. The rooms are wonderful, clean, peaceful and has everything you need. We stayed here for a week when others only 2-3 days and was worth every day of the stay for peace and quiet. Isolation is not for everyone as some might not be cool with eating only in one place, no wifi, and just the ocean and mountain as your playground. But for those that really want to get away from it all, this is it! ##### Pablo Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 8 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Not crowded!
