Lisa did a fantastic job creating a memorable itinerary for The Philippines full of snorkeling and beautiful water activities! The resorts were great and snorkeling guides (Rap Rap - Palawan) top notch. She was also extremely responsive in following up both before and during the trip, addressing questions or concerns regarding excursions and resort stays.

room floors were vinyl so harder to keep clean. I would recommend using tile or possibly steam mops to keep sandy floors clean.

Tarsiers were interesting but a very limited tour. We could have passed on Chocolate Hills. River cruise with lunch was enjoyable!

We actually did not go to areas on itinerary. This issue was addressed by KimKIm with local excursion provider. We were disappointed with the remote island we visited. Guides and boat crew were good.
