A remote dream place :) Great trips offered, especially the Dugongs. Would come again!

The hike is worth it for the views but even the easy one is a bit dangerous because the handlebars are rotten and you can't rely on those to hold you when you need support (and you'll need it on the way down over the gravel!). 10% are already broken off and just hang there. They must be fixed or removed... Couldn't agree with Housekeeping on timing. They just came in whenever they wanted even if you said "no, in an hour please", then went to the reception for 5min, they just entered the room the second you left.

The hotel is in a perfect location if you want to escape the crowds. You can reach only by boat but everything has been taught for you to be busy there. The boat ride to the hotel is already an experience : cruising in the mangrove is absolutely beautiful, and the staff welcomes every arrivals with a song and a refreshing drink. If you are a diver, you shouldn’t miss the dive with the dugong. It was magical. And you can also do it snorkeling. The only downside is that you don’t get any privacy in the native rooms : we couldn’t fall sleep the first night because our neighbors were chatting together. But otherwise is was just perfect

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS RESORT. They put a lot of thought and care into the whole experience and you can see they definitely care about the environment and ocean. I loved that the dive centre was on the resort, very easy just to wake up and do a dive each morning. The crew and boat was absolutely amazing. My friend doesn't dive but had a great time snorkeling with another guide at each dive spot. You can snorkel right in front of the resort which is all very untouched. The staff are absolutely lovely as well. Shout out to B who helped us with dinner each night. Food was also delicious.

Nothing. It was amazing

We spent 3 days in Coron town and the spent 2 days here to relax after days jam-packed with tours. It was an absolute dream! The staff were so friendly and helpful. Our gopro fell into the water from the pier and the dive masters retrieved it for us without hesitation. The food was really good and the service was so fast! Snorkelling gear, kayaks and SUPs were all free to use. The fish were huge! Sardins and Mackarels everywhere. We will definitely return!

The only tiny thing that bothered us was that the beach infront of the rooms was not so clean - alot of drift wood, coconut husks and plastic. There was also plastic in the water when swimming - but im not sure if the staff can do anything about this because the tides kept bringing in new things

Amazing location, secluded part of the island accessible by boat, staff friendly and welcoming, moderately priced as expected for such a resort, had the most amazing time

Very high charge for a transfer to our next hotel in coron! Highly suggest to others to take the free shuttle to the airport and getting a tuk tuk for 300php rather than arranging with the hotel for 3,000php

-Very idyllic but remote location -great staff team, super friendly and helpful -great cooperation with the Dugong dive center, our dive instructor Gerald was amazing -house reef only few steps from accommodation -beautiful scenery at the pier

-only minor point is that they could provide more bottled water at the rooms (currently 0.5l / day)

This is absolutely ultime, exceptional experince! If there is a chance to have another series of „White Lotu should be there. 11/10 ✨

There is one, small, tiny thing… I had experience twice, that staff were re-organizing tables and chairs at the end of the breakfast time, and this cause unnecessary noise and distraction.

Liked the fact that the only access is by boat. Liked the curious monkeys and taking fives steps from bed to beach

This is a nice report hotel, similar to those in the Maldives. Personally I would say that it is perfect for a maximum of three days after which you would go slightly crazy. There are no roads and the only way off is by boat.

Breathtaking place, with a very warm welcome, you will quickly feel very good there! The food is excellent, my only regret is not having stayed long enough. There are plenty of activities to do on site and even the transfer from the airport is beautiful and exotic
