During our 3 weeks holiday in Palawan we stayed 3 nights on Modessa Island and it was definitely our favorite place. The island is beautiful, white sand, pristine water, coconut trees... The staff is really nice, the food is yummy. The cottages are basic but comfortable. We slept very well, and waking up with the beach in front of your... More

If you check my profile, I reviewed this hotel when it was still Coco Loco because I had a great experience with them and to my disappointment, my next visit or should I say attempted visit was a DISASTER.  We booked thru EPALAWAN (I also warn you not to trust them as they do not know what they are doing...

It's true, the huts are very basic, but you're in a hut on the beach! What would you expect from a peaceful private island an hour away from the main island. You can walk around the entire island in 20 minutes. It's really quiet here, and the beach is absolutely gorgeous! Way better than El Nido and Honda bay, for... More

We stayed at the Modessa (ex CocoLoco) in Feb 2012 - and we really loved it! We met some people, who had stayed there in the CocoLoco era, and it was clear that at that time prices were much lower and service much better. Still, considering the natural beauty of the island (really amazing!!), the cosy atmosphere in the basic... More

We're from Washington D.C., USA. My husband and I travel once a year. We went to Costa Rica last year, and we decided to go to the Philippines this year. I loved it!!!! Especially my stay in Palawan. The service was great from the time we landed at Puerto Princesa and stayed at Remari to the day we flew out.... More

It's a nice island, of course nothing simmiler to El Nido beaches, but still interesting to stay in a private micro island for couple of days. Food is so so, sometimes you can get a fresh grilled fish, but sometimes - calmari with ketchup. BUT - the service level is worse than terrible. The front desk manager is unpleasant to... More

I went to Modessa during the first week of Dec. and I must say, it was one of the greatest and most gorgeous places I have ever seen. Starting from the boat ride from Roxas to the island, just seeing the island surrounded by the majestic, clear blue water, then finally seeing the white/blue cabins, and the white sand was... More
