Top Hotels Near Dugong Watch in Busuanga from AU$22

"The hotel was nice but a lot of things weren’t working during our stay! We were there for 3 nights and for 2 the hotel had no wifi. This was tricky since we are from out of the country. We couldn’t contact family, look up places to eat, or use maps/gps to get into town. There was no hot water in the shower which I guess is a small thing but still missed haha. The beds are really tough! Not soft at all. They also charge you for airport transfer per person while everywhere else we stayed had it included! The staff was really nice, the pool was clean, and the food at the restaurant was good. "

"The room is clean and good size for couple. The comfort room is clean and good size. I stayed in top floor ocean view with veranda. The staff are courteous and helpful, good communication skills. The Breakfast buffet was superb caters for local and international dishes. The Bar in the swimming pool was good. The hotel “ sari sari store” where I bought souvenirs and ocean bags were reasonable prices. The tour packages were priced reasonably. Definitely! recommend this Hotel Resort."

"Can’t express enough superlatives about my experience at the Busuanga Lodge. Starting with the staff. They were all highly attentive to any of our needs. They also helped with tours and other suggestions for things to do. The room was spacious and clean; laundry service, room service all wonderful. The grounds were well kept and beautiful. Highly recommend it😎"

"Judith and her team were most accommodating. Very quiet and restful property. transfers to/from airport and with dugong dive center were all organised for us. Food was great and overall excellent value for money. Only downside was WiFi was very limited. Would recommend property"

"We enjoyed a lovely 3 night stay. Setting was stunning, with the beautiful beach and sea. 2 lovely pools, free rental for kayaks, paddle boards and snorkels. Room was spacious and clean. Staff were exceptional, especially Acea who worked in the restaurants. Food in the restaurants at night was very nice but breakfast wasnt to my taste. Trees full of fruit bats were a special treat."

"La Estancia Busuanga Resort delivered an experience that exceeded our expectations in every way. The combination of breathtaking natural beauty, impeccable accommodations, and genuinely warm, professional service created a vacation that was both relaxing and enriching. The staff's commitment to guest satisfaction without the aggressive commercial tactics found elsewhere was perhaps the most pleasant surprise. For couples seeking a romantic getaway, families looking for a safe, activity-rich destination, or anyone who simply wants to disconnect from the stresses of daily life and reconnect with nature and loved ones, La Estancia is an ideal choice. Just come prepared to embrace the seclusion—that's part of what makes this resort so special. We left La Estancia feeling refreshed, appreciated, and already planning our return visit. In a world where genuine hospitality is increasingly rare, this resort stands as a shining example of how things should be done. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic, peaceful, and thoroughly enjoyable Philippine island experience."

"PROS: ULTRA secluded, most quiet location by the ocean that you might ever find, with a very chill vibe. Half mile long white fine sandy beach, which often you will have all to yourself due to the closure/ bankruptcy of the neighboring resort. The locals in this region are very friendly, and will actually acknowledge and smile to tourists. Hot water and A/C are available. Good road around the island, but some steep hills. Our tricycle with luggage did not make one of them. The ladies/ hostesses are super charming and try very hard to meet all of your needs. CONS: No Red Horse beer. Ultra secluded. If you don't have a vehicle, you are at the mercy of the host for food and food prices. While the hostesses try their very best, they are understaffed, lack training and leadership. Food was mediocre. They need a true chef on staff that is willing to multi-task. Road signage is mediocre. The facilities are aged, in need of maintenance, past its best before date. Hot water and pressure for showering must be requested each time. This resort has enormous potential, but is passed due for new management, with the energy and drive to take this resort to its full potential. A percentage of profits, if any, needs to be reinvested each month on repairs and maintenance. OVERALL: If you are looking for the ultimate in quiet and seclusion, with just basic facilities, this might be your place. Bring food/ snacks/ drinks. If you are looking for luxurious and fine cuisine, this might not be for yo"

"Beautiful property with fresh clean rooms. The place is immaculate, and the staff is super accommodating. They arranged several island tours and daily excursions, the sunset one being spectacular. The upstairs restaurant prepared delicious evening meal with a wide variety of Japanese and Asian food. The only drawback was the rooster farm next to the property. They can be annoying."
