Came here on 2/21/26 via Cebu Pacific. We were met at Busuangga airport and brought to the port by…read morevan. It took 15 minutes from the airport to the port and 40 minutes by boat from port to the resort. Service from the airport driver, boat greeter/guide, reception, housekeeping and restaurant staff at Sinag restaurant gave very attentive, friendly and speedy service. We had dinner at Sinag. They served a complimentary basket of two flavors of pan de Sal (plain and malunggay). Oh my goodness! We could have had 20 of these. They were soft, freshly baked and fluffy. Then, we ordered kare-kare, Bacolod sinugba grilled pork belly, ube coconut shake, turon and ube ice cream. Their food presentation is so lovely and authentic. The kare-kare was probably the best we've had. Several plates of veges and peanuts were brought in with a clay pot and mixed with oxtail and sauce tableside. I thought the little rice pots were charming. Reminded me of the larger versions we had during my childhood. The sinugba was good. The ube coconut drink was delicious and the desserts were phenomenal. Now, as to our room, it was a garden view on the 2nd floor and the concrete steps were very steep. There were probably 40 steps in all. We were panting by the time we got to our room.

Day 1: There was seamless transportation to resort. Bus then boat ride. Staff greeted us and was…read morevery friendly. The room had great ac, very clean, and many complimentary items. Complimentary treats are delicious as well. We had a dinner scheduled at 5:30pm for a party of 12. Upon arrival, the table setting was different than advertised photos but still was gorgeous and on the actual beach which was what we wanted. We received menus to the grill even though we were told we were able to pick from a menu which had a more Western fusion theme. This was unexpected as well, but we put in drink orders and food orders. Unfortunately there were many bugs flying around us, significantly more than usual. An hour later we had no drinks or food, it was getting dark, and so we decided to get up and ask to all move to the actual restaurant part to make it easier for them. We finally received our drinks which now had melted ice and our coconuts were lukewarm. Then the salads came (included in the meal), it was an embarrassment of a salad. Something even worse than what you would see in a school cafeteria, incredibly overcooked chicken and a measly portion. The soup (also included) followed which tasted like instant soup (think grocery store Benihana's dupe) and had undercooked mushroom chunks. I ordered the ribs which was dry but the flavor was good, especially because I was starving at this point. My friend next to me ordered the salmon which was so overcooked it resembled a brick. It was also interesting to us that now that we had complained and were visibly upset that now the staff decided to be attentive. We received complimentary mango cheesecakes for their bad service. It reminded me of something you'd find at costco and I felt it had little to no mango flavor. Unfortunately this mid tier dessert was the general consensus to be the best part of the meal since everything else was greatly disappointing. Day 2: My friend woke up with heat exhaustion so I called the front desk to get more water, ice and a thin sheet since there's only a thick comforter on the beds. No answer so I went to the front desk and they said housekeeping can bring it to me and I can go to the restaurant. I got water and ice at the restaurant fine and the manager said they could bring housekeeping stuff over to my room. After initially telling housekeeping around 7:20am and a manager at 7:30am. I came back to my room to call housekeeping to followup and they said they'd be there immediately and it seemed front desk and manager did not communicate my needs to them. Housekeeping did not come until 8:15am, about an hour from when I initially asked. Lack of communication and urgency after I told two employees my friend was sick was concerning. Spent some time at the beach and tried some American food and drinks. Those parts were nice. Day 3: Spent some time at the beach and exploring the resort. Wish it was easier to order food/drinks to and from lounging areas or that there were more bars/restaurant options. Cheddar bacon apple sandwich was nice. Drinks were strong, highly recommend only ordering off the menu because venturing from it causes subpar drinks. Also, was surprised to see a "clean" beach towel I received was COVERED in brown and black stains. I also received a "clean" towel from housekeeping smeared in black stains. For dinner, we tried the sinig restaurant and it was delicious. Great service and amazing selection/wide variety. Especially loved their boodle fight and dessert options. Got back to our room to find a stench eminating from the bathroom because the water here is potent. After a while you can tell the water is green so be careful. Day 4: Had to see the doctor and he was very helpful. Spent some more time taking photos and relaxing around the resort. Had dinner again at Sinag which was really lovely. Staff at sinag was very accommodating and helpful. The food was great. Laing and the salted egg bibingka were definitely my favorite Day 5: Checkout was a breeze and there was a slight delay to our boat ride back. Luckily they were able to take us closer to get us on a van ride that was shorter to the airport. Complimentary sweet treats were great as well. Overall, beautiful location. Lots of wildlife in the actual resort; snorkeling, sea turtles, large lizards at breakfast, and fruit bats hanging over the resort. Sinag was delicious and we loved the staff, but the other restaurant seemed subpar with a large party. Unfortunately, urgency and communication between staff seems lacking which caused great discomfort and disappointment within our party. Other customers at the resort were also unfriendly and we felt a hostile energy from them. Hoping they improve in the future.

Highly recommended place. We came Aug 5-8 and only a few rain shower and kids didn't mind the 30 mins island hopping.

You'll get off the plane onto the tarmac and grab your luggage from the only carousel available. Resort provides transportation to/from the resort. Hop in the van for a 15-30 mins ride depending on your route. Then take a boat for 15-20 mins. Only way in/out of the resort is by boat. Once you see the resort, you'll know what I'm talking about when I say "tropical hideaway". Beautiful scenery of the resort and the waters. When checking in, you're greeted with staff singing a welcome song and a welcome non-alcoholic drink. Our stay was in a duplex beach cabin with adjoining doors. Both rooms were spacious and very clean. Small tub of water sits by the door to wash your feet of sand and debris if you need it. Patios have chairs to lounge and take in the beautiful beach view. Bathrooms have showers and limited amenities. Hairdryer, toothbrushes with toothpaste, soap, shower cap, and shampoo. Rooms have a safe, small basket to carry your belongings to the beach or infinity pool, slippers, robes, complimentary bottles of water (which they replenish every day if you drink them) and coffee maker. Resort has many things on site, including activities such as billiards, karaoke rooms, kayaking, paddleboarding, beach volleyball, swimming in roped off area (very safe). Very small gift shop with decent prices compared to US resorts. Although the place was fully booked, it was never crowded anywhere and almost felt like your family was alone to enjoy the entire place. Customer service was beyond excellent! Everyone there greeted you with smiles and offered help. Our server Jewrel was the best! Lunch and dinners at the only restaurant on site is by purchase but prices were decent and food tasted good! Breakfast is complimentary. Front desk is very helpful too. For a fee, you can book excursions. We chose the all-day island tour. Resort to Coron town is 1 hour. By boat, we went to Twin Lagoon, Kayangan Lake, Barracuda Lake, Siete Picados Marine Park, and Maquinit Hot Springs. Worth every peso! Highly recommended. Comes with a lunch, snorkel gear, towels and tour guide (3 other staff to also help you throughout the entire tour- helpful when I didn't want to swim anymore- they pulled me with a floater). Twin Lagoon- you'll get off boat into the water and swim to the lagoon. Get a kayak if you don't want to (must be booked prior to leaving Corona Town port). Barracuda Lake- some uneasy stairs so be careful (someone fell into the waters next to stairs). Kayangan Lake- so many stairs and steep! Siete Marine Park- coral reef beautiful! Maquinit Hot Springs- perfect ending to a long day of swimming. Quick stop at souvenir shop before heading back to resort. Ask for Darren if possible. He was the best tour guide!! Tips: Bring conditioner, small loofah, and body lotion. Bring water, snacks, sunscreen, mosquito repellent, small soap, toilet paper and water shoes for the excursions. Beware: no clean bathrooms, toilet paper and soap. Hot springs is the only place with decent toilet and toilet paper.

Every single staff member we encountered was delightful and helpful to meet all our needs. Our room faced the Bay side with a wonderful view. The beds were comfortable, large king size room, free working wifi, and a nice pool. The location, which is not on the main strip, allows you to easily walk to town with several restaurants and shops nearby. I liked the fact that it was tucked away a bit, making it very peaceful and quiet. The hotel offers scooters for rent, which we did one day. The also were able to recommend a private boat operator, which turned out to be the highlight of our vacation. We ended up booking the private boat two times during our trip. The complimentary breakfast was exceptional. The variety of food was more than my eyes or stomach could take! They had everything from made to order omelettes and pancake, selection of fresh fruits to a variety of traditional Filipino dishes.

We felt super safe during the training and had fun on the 2 dives they took us. I would highly recommend this scuba dive shop. We will definitely come back!

Then it seems they gave a way one of our premium room so the a dingle bed room but fixed it with a mattress laying on the floor. Next, when we booked we requested the children's room to be next to parents room. Again the placed the children rooms 5 rooms away. Front desk agents had ZERO answers zero answers for the problem! Basically didn't try to fix anything! Got a manager on the phone because there was no manager there . Manager promised to fix the problem the very next day. After that phone call ended spoke with the front desk agent again, and they said they were surprised at the manager, guaranteed the problem to be fixed because there was no room for us to move to the very next day ! So I guess the managers a bullshitter! I would give this hotel a -10 stars but at this website it's not allowed, so all I can give it is a one star! Forgot to mention all the flies in the room already killed 10!!!

It's a family friendly resort with free water activities (fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding), a pool, beach, and excursions you can book through the hotel. The rooms are clean, large and the beds are so friggin' comfortable it's hard to get out of them! My family and I stayed in Villa 1. They have a kitchenette with an induction oven, but nothing to cook with. When we asked for a pan, they actually room our food and cooked it for us (mind you we were just warming up leftovers). You can get breakfast included, which is a plated meal. It was very tasty. We ate at the Pavilion Restaurant several times and everything we had was delicious. Although it's hard not to, don't fill up on the fresh warm bread they give you. Added bonus is the great house music always playing at the restaurant, except when they have talented musicians serenade you. Wish I didn't have to leave!

Just enjoy its natural beauty. We've done some island hopping/exploring in Occidental Mindoro, mostly off of San Jose, like Grace Island and White Island, but have yet to venture beyond San Jose. We decided to venture out this trip and hired a van (₽7000 for the day) to go to Sablayan and take a boat from there to Pandan Island. Our first stop was the Ecotourism Office located next to the plaza. This is where you can get information and book your boat and stay if you're heading to Pandan Island and Apo Reef Natural Park. You'll need to pay an environmental fee per person here. They'll also assign you a boat once you decide what kind of boat you want to take. We went with a Glass Bottom boat (Queen Ella). Our boat stopped at various places close to Pandan Island to look at Sea Turtles, Corals and different kinds of fish. Really amazing! Some places were really deep and some we were only a couple of feet from the corals. The water is so clear, you could see the sea turtles if you look to your side on the water. Once we got to the island, we chose the table next to the hammock and paid for our picnicking fee at the bar. There is a day use fee per person. I forgot how much but you can look at pandan.com/prices/ for all the fees you need to pay. The water temperature was 82°F or 28°C. It was perfect. Not warm and not cold. We stayed in the water for a few hours playing and swimming! We got there around 9 am and although there were overnight guests staying in the cottages and day trippers like us, this part of the island was not crowded. Most of the tourists here are Filipinos, Europeans and Australians. This is not Boracay thank God. I hope it never gets transformed into a Boracay and I don't think it will be because it is a protected marine sanctuary. We saw a lot of divers going out to the open sea to dive. You can get your PADI certification here if you want. This island has no electricity, so it's definitely off the grid. I would totally love to stay here a couple of nights. The cottages are only a few steps from the water! It'd be the ultimate relaxation. My husband and I have camped and backpacked in remote places in the high Sierras so a stay at Pandan is luxurious compared to that! The island has a restaurant and a bar! You're also close enough to Sablayan that you'll be able to get Globe LTE here. My brother in law had Smart LTE and they couldn't very good cell reception here. The food on the island is not that great (even the Filipino food), so I suggest you bring your own food. We brought a big jug of water, empanadas, halaya, snacks and other stuff. We bought 2 young coconuts from the bar (50 pesos each) and that kept us hydrated. We tried the boneless Bangus and it was just okay. My sister did not like the Tosino. Bring your own food! Apo Reef (the second largest contiguous reef in the world and the largest one in the Philippines) is another 3 hr boat ride from Pandan, so you would really have to stay there overnight if you want to see it. Stop by Pandan for a few hours to cool off or stay overnight and then head to Apo Reef. I'd love to be able to do that on another visit when I have more time here.
