Mindanao Beach Vacations

Amazing place to stay

This waterfront property is underated. The rooms may be a bit dated but every other aspect is and should 5 Stars! From the moment you enter from the main road you will see manicured grounds and roads lined with beautiful flowers and trees. At night it is all lit up. You can enjoy avery romantic stroll anytime and feel the cooling ocean breeze. The reception area is well organized with staff and service. You will like a celebrity arriving to a premier opening. Luggage is gathered and ready to be delivered to your room. Treat yourself to the Junior Suite. Trust me - It is worth the very few extra pesos. If you are considering a venue for a wedding you must give this place a chance. The sales team knows how to put the right package together for your desires. We just had our dream garden wedding ceremony here and the Kalaw Event room was transformed into a scene from a movie. The food and staff had everything organized, prepared and served without any delays. The food was also of 5 Star quality and portions were more than enough. This is the only Insular property we have stayed at numerous times. If visiting another city, I would not hesitate staying at another Insular property because I am sure the same level of care and service would be maintained throughout the all locations. Lastly, the two restaurants provide an excellent selection at very reasonable prices. The morning buffet could be open a little longer but it is worth getting up for. I will be back again!!

The view from our hut was great. The resort is NOT private. We had to change rooms becuase the beachfront cabana at the botton of the hillside was hardly a good room. kids were looking in our window as soon as we arrived, workers hanging out on the outside leaning against or desk railing as soonas we woke.There are random dogs wandering. Random people walking through a broken fence down by the shore area. One wouldn't dare swim in the water here. Trash is everywhere. The fountain at the pool was broken and not working. There are giant lizards in our room. The resort if you can call it that, has trash everywhere. The food was great, the butler Gerilyn was great too. The beer was cold and we kept our glasses frozen in our fridge. The romance between my fiancee' and I is about all that held our vacation time there 'together' There is a lot of construction going on, but it seems that was not being done on the property. We were the only ones there, perhaps for a reason...being that no one want to vacation here. The picture on the website are more than misleading... There is no beach. There are broken lights, oddly covered dangerous parts of the walking area etc. The monkey in the cage is marked "dangerous' and he seems very sad in the small cage. This place is more like a mini zoo with very loud Peacocks screaming in the middle of the night. Giant lizards on the wall in the room when I came back form the restroom.. A wild experience to say the least.
