From the first discussions with Sarah through the actual trip, the interactions with everyone were pleasant and professional. The trip was well planned and well conducted. The drivers showed up when they were supposed to, the guides were ready for us when we arrived, and all ticketing and other arrangements were handled. It was a most stress-free experience. The little things mattered, such as identifying ahead of time that one of our ferry schedules had changed, so they booked a flight for us at no extra cost. The extra nights booking in Bohol was a nice touch because of a late flight.
Special mentions to Ed, our driver in Luzon for several days, our guides Bridget. Paula, and Aladdin in Luzon were amazing. Our boat guide in Coron was also wonderful but his name escapes me. Our local contacts were always ready to help when needed.
Hotel Reviews
Lovely rooms and an amazing breakfast buffet.
We had a balcony room overlooking the rice terraces. The view was breathtaking. Our room was spacious, we'll appointed, and kept spotlessly clean and made up every day.
Quite interesting concept and intriguing design and construction. We found the rooms to be a bit small for our liking, but we're American, so there's that.
Nice hotel. Nice pools. Great bar. Nice restaurant. Nice room.
Loved the ambience. We were in a bungalow a short walk from the beach and more importantly the beach bar. Great service at the bar, reception was excellent, or rooms were quite nice. Good was great and there were a number of other great restaurants just a short walk down the beach. Loved it here.
