"Staff was the best - from the time got off the plane, a private car took us to the welcome center. We were serenaded, and provided traditional mirienda while we waited for the private boat that took us to the most pristine Pangalusian Island. It’s one of the best vacations I experienced."

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely incredible!! A must visit! I could easily write a paragraph on the exceptional service, food, environment, accommodations and staff, BUT it wouldn’t do it justice. This is one you must experience for yourself and allow it to envelop you. A special thanks to the GM, Thomas for managing and training and outstanding staff and keeping the grounds pristine. "
