Terrible customer service
** Caution ** Due to an active volcano in the region, all flights had been canceled around the area (MNL airport was completely closed). I attempted multiple times to cancel my reservation with a refund. The hotel wouldn't budge. Terrible customer service (sometimes extraordinary circumstances allow for "rules" to be bent). They wouldn't even allow me to rebook for a later date...

We like it since it is located near the sea or river. However it is quite far from the city center and will cost you a fortune going to the city for lunch or dinner. Although staff were friendly and helpful especially Sylvie and Dada. Would suggest that they provide shuttle service going to and from the city.

We have a transpo from our resort to go and visit any places in the island.

Nice quiet getaway on Bohol.
To keep this brief: This is great for people that like quiet, relaxing escapes - don't expect the "alona beach" vibe here. It's a very remote place and transport is needed everything. Positives: -Staff are friendly and welcoming (and the owner) -Nice pools, and on the sea (can swim there too) -Good value for money for the room -It's relaxing, perfect place to bring a book and chill Things to improve: -The food choices are very limited. I stayed for 6 days and most options are rice with either chicken or pork. Breakfast is also mostly rice and meat. I was told the portion is "okay for 2" on some meals but they seemed normal size. -There is no pricing on the menu so I was a little shocked at the price of my bill on checkout -I was ill for a few days and was a little disappointed they said they'd charge a "service fee" to bring my meal to my room which is very near the eating area. Would have been a nice touch to waive it. -A few small things in the room need maintenance, some lights need bulbs changing, shower emited a horrid smell for a few mins when turned on each time too. Overall I recommend this place if you're a couple and want a quiet getaway. It's a lovely place and the staff are super nice.

A Perfect Place to do Soul Seaching
I fell in love with the property the moment I set foot on it. It is perfect for a solo, relaxing trip. I got a chance to meet and had a pleasant conversation with Ernie, the owner of the place, and couldn't have been happier throughout our conversation. The care and attention that went into this place is what made it perfect. Sylvie & Samantha were very helpful and friendly/attentive to the guests. The food is freshly made always with vegetable from their own garden; what else can one asks for!! I ended up eating dinner here every night instead of going out to dinner. If you're looking for a vibrant place to party, this is not the place for you; but if you're looking for a sanctuary to relax and enjoy the comfort of home-cooked food and home feel, then this is the perfect place for you. I would definitely come back and stay with them again in the future. I couldn't help but to feel like a part of the family. The surrounding area is not glamorous, however, they can arrange for transportation to take you to places in the island very easily.

Serene and Lovely Hideaway
This place was amazing! We came to the place to unwind and relax from the hustle and noise of Metro Manila. We came to the right place! The place is great, just as it was dscribed in their website. The staff were polite, courteous and friendly. Our stay was even more special because the owners happen to be there too and we got to know them. The place is truly a labor of their love. We will definitely recommend this place to our friends and family. We will return again when the opportunity arise. Just hoping the roads leading up to the place will soon be improved.

Nice hotel. Great pools for kids
We stayed at the hotel one night in a two bedroom villa. The hotel is in a quiet, secluded area with a nice view of the ocean. The kids enjoyed the kids' pool as well as the full size pool. A very nice, simple cooked breakfast was prepared for us in the morning.

We felt like we were staying with a Filipino family. Friendly and very helpful staff (especially Janet). Nice pool and terrace overlooking the bay below. Good breakfast and evening meal (limited menu but fresh ingredients e.g. fish from local fishermen). Extension work ongoing during our stay so somewhat noisy during the day. The owner, Ernie, was supervising and was very apologetic about this. Deluxe cabana was cramped with a small but adequate bathroom. Quite isolated and nothing of interest within walking distance, but staff arranged trike to go into Tagbilaran and good quality transport for sightseeing tours.

Quiet relaxing place
Very quiet place, excellent view, comfortable villas, nice breakfast with a wonderful seaview, helpful staff. Only problem we had was the smell of paint from the construction in the yard. I hope it will be over soon.

Peace and tranquillity.
A romantic few days away. Set in a location which overlooks the bay /sea, which makes this a beautiful resort. It seems someone has actually thought about the design of this resort before construction was started, and it feels complete, not with after thoughts and bits added, and laid out with real grass lawns, not rubble. The areas set aside for couples with stunning views out to sea are priceless for intimate, romantic chats. But the attention to personal detail by the staff, especially from a lady called Janet, is what puts this resort above many of the others in the area.

Bohol Trip
The place had a nice ambiance, with the ocean view and the island-ish feeling. The staff were also very nice and accommodating. In addition, I slept very well as it was very quiet at night. However, the bathroom was too small and the water did not drain well, leaving the bathroom floor flooded. The food choices were also very limited. I had to eat pretty much the same thing for 4 days.Unfortunately, there were no other places nearby where I could eat. All in all, though, the place was beautiful, the staff was awesome, and it was good enough for the cheap room rates.

Resort with warm atmosphere
Upon arrival we found out the menu on restaurant was a bit limited - of course being vegetarian with low fodmap diet in Bohol is adventure itself already... but at least we were able to get some food after long tour around Bohol. I did not remember if they even had restaurant or not, so it was nice surprise. While eating they also asked selection for breakfast which had options for me as well. If you're vegan, it's a bit trickier. Anyway the place itself is well taken care garden like resort with different size pools along seaview jacuzzi. It's very peaceful location so you can enjoy nature around and just relax. Our son (1 year 10 months) always wanted to go outside of the cottage we had for a walk. Staff helped us around with our requests and were naturally friendly. As the place is remote, entering the place with stuff you need is adviced, but trike to tagbilaran city does not take long. Or scooter, if you can use one. I had nice time and rest of our group were extremely happy with the place. Extra thanks to supervisor (Janet), she really makes sure visitors are okay.

Decent place with great view.
This place has a beautiful view, nice pool but also some problems. If you do not rent a scooter, it can be difficult to get anywhere and expensive due to somewhat remote location. The water in shower and tab are salty. They offer basic breakfast and dinner if you want, but do not expect anything fancy. If you can live with those, it can be a very relaxing and peaceful stay.

무인도에 동떨어진 느낌.
일단 호텔에 들어가면 편안한데, 그밖에는 아무것도 할 수 없습니다. 특히 위치는 무인도에 갇힌 것 같다고나 할까. 맘대로 들어갈 수도 나갈 수도 없고 주변에 편의시설이라고는 전무합니다. 며칠 도나 닦으러 들어갈 것이 아니라면 다시 가고 싶지 않습니다.

酒店非常美，位置非常非常难找！！！
我的标题是悬崖上的酒店，酒店真的很漂亮，一进去就看到无敌大海。酒店房间不多，泳池和照片上对比出入很大，水不太干净的感觉。服务是很好，有免费早餐，而且是对这超级无敌大海吃，非常写意。房间有点小，总体酒店是很好的，很适合度假。但唯一缺点是，太太太偏僻了！！！入住时司机找了很久的路，问了N个人，想打去酒店问路的，电话又打不到。酒店标识非常不清晰，沿途的路都非常非常的烂。好不容易到了，又被司机多收了钱。晚饭过后回酒店，这次细目了，开了GPS，司机没走冤枉路，但却又因为路非常难走，坑坑洼洼的，又被多收了100PHP...酒店黎沙滩，市区都不方便，说实在的，如果你是想赖在酒店休息1、2天不外出的，住这里是很好的。否则...还是劝你三思。
