It was a very serene place. It seemed like we were the only guests. Staff were friendly and very attentive to our needs.
The food needs improvement. Their menu was reasonably priced but would love to come back to a much improved selection of dishes.

This resort was very comfortable, serene, quiet, and relaxing. The attention to detail was amazing and the walking trails were nice. The swimming pools were well maintained. Breakfast was good, I asked for an omelet and they provided me with what I asked for. The room is spacious and the bathroom design is very good.
I requested a late checkout but I got the impression that they were reluctant to give a late checkout. Their checkout is at 11 AM but I wanted to extend to 12 but they seemed reluctant but did agree to extend until 12 noon. There is also no grocery shopping near the resort. There is also no transportation provided by the resort.

The property was incredibly well-maintained. Every aspect of it was beautiful, from the green lawns to the hotel rooms and the public facilities, like the spa and the restaurant. Every building was designed with intention. The food was also delicious; we tried both international and Filipino dishes and several of the desserts and cocktails. Servings are generous. Myself, my partner, and my parents all got the full spa treatment and it was worth the cost—they have incredible masseuses. With only 12 rooms on the property, even though it was fully booked it often felt like we were the only people there. It gave us an incredible feeling of privacy. Mhai from Rodolfo's restaurant was both a lovely host and server who spoke to us about the property and ensured we had a wonderful stay. Everyone was very kind.
The parking area was on grass, which means it was muddy to walk on after it rained. But this is not that big of an issue and it did not impact our stay.

I love how peaceful and intimate it was. We were the only guests during our stay so it feels jarring (in a pleasant way) to be able to have the place all to ourselves. Love the pools and the old houses and nature surrounding the place. Wish we could have stayed longer. The kalamansi picking and biking and play area were great activities for us and my little one. The spa was also good!
Food options (I guess) but it was good nonetheless. It wasn’t a dealbreaker by any means. The rooms, although very clean, had a musky old smell, probably from not being used a lot? And the bed mattresses were a little too firm for my taste (this is just me nitpicking).

Loved the place and it was not very busy when I checked in. It was a great place to paint and relax! Food was lovely and the staff were very attentive.
The only complaint I have is the door to the rooms. I am a very sensitive sleeper and the door had a glass window that allowed light to come in. I had trouble sleeping because of this. I hope they provide a curtain for those who would like complete darkness.

The spacious, well constructed and nicely furnished and decorated suite. The friendly staff in the restaurant and the quality of the food. The pool and the gardens. The jacuzzi under the stars.
Actually everything was great also that I could use one of the mountain bikes. These were not super quality and the gear set was a bit worn out, but nevertheless it was great to cycle through the surrounding area and have a swim in the sea.

A quiet, well appointed resort that offers top notch service. It has a modern Filipino vibe using a lot of Ugo's pottery, clean and fresh, and almost every thing you need has been thought of. Booking was a breeze and even when I had to modify my booking they were easy to communicate with. The restaurant was reasonably priced, offering a good number of options. A definite must go to if you want to recharge from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The property was absolutely amazing. It wasnt a busy time when we went so it’s like we had the whole place to ourselves. It was a very relaxing place and the spa was just beautiful. The pool was also clean, both the main pool and the premier pool. They also gave us a free calamansi from their own garden which was very lovely.
I would say the food could be better, but overall it was good.

The place was truly relaxing, rooms were clean, comfortable and amenities were complete. Staff from gate, reception, gardeners to restaurants and room all provided friendly courteous and prompt service.
There was nothing to not like.
