We stayed here for three nights. We were planning to stay on APO island, but the two of us got sick a few days before going there, so we decided to go somewhere very relaxing. And we found a great place: Pura Vida beach resort. Very nice location, very clean, good breakfast. We stayed in one of the cottages, was... More

Hmm what can i say about Pura Vida! well its a very boring resort if youre not going diving. For a third world country and by the state of other hotels nearby this is probably the best hotel youre going to get! food was standard. However, it was the best food i ate for the two weeks i was there.... More

Our driver was waiting as we left the ferry. We wanted to buy water but were informed no outside drink or food was permitted in resort. Water refills are available for 20 pesos. Standard rooms are individual bungalows with porches. They do not have kettles or a mini-bar. Windows and doors do not seal properly so bring bug spray –... More

This is a nice resort and we certainly enjoyed being there. I went with a Dive group and we were there for one week. The diving at the resort and close to it was poor. A lot of silt and we were plagued with a group of Spanish divers who insisted in getting in everybodies way whenever they wanted to... More

We stopped in for a day to use the pool (P100 entrance fee consumable and P150 pool fee per person) and decided to book a room here for Christmas. We stayed in the cheapest rooms in the back and loved it. Lovely grounds - they decorated it very well for the holidays. Great bar that makes proper drinks. The beach... More

The rooms are comfortable and well appointed. There isn't much of a house reef since the drop off is... More

We had a wonderful 7 nights at this very friendly resort. It was our first time in the Philippines and we will certainly be back. We used Maldive Scuba tours to book the holiday and really recommend them. We flew with Emirates to Manila then used Philippine airlines for the internal flights. We had a detached native style cottage in... More
