Rooms are too inconvenient to get to. Steps leading to the prime rooms needs to be fixed. Cracks found on bathroom sink. Plants around need TLC. Overall the place needs total facelifting and not worth the exuberant money you pay.

The resort was great overall We had visitors entering the park So communication between reception and myself wasn’t great as regards cost Children free but thenSuddenly it was under 10 were children. Over 10 was adult !! And they definitely weren’t free To be honest they can’t do enough for you Any problems they would try and sort straight away I would stay there again

What I didn't like was that there was discharge of a foul smelling water coming from the property and going out to the sea at the area where people are bathing. Looked to me like there is a drainage line from the property to the beach burried under the sand. I asked if it came from the waste colllection/treatment plant they have nearby, and they said it doesn't. But the foul smell is suspicious. It happened in Boracay before.

For the price of 8500 pesos per night, the bathroom amenities are not at par- there’s no hand and face towels , soap is small and not refilled.

The restaurant quality was so poor…. The food was terrible in same time is so expensive…. The beach resort expensive rate then in real it’s so poor everything inside it….. in that resort one thing was good is the rooms but it’s a resort not hotel ( rooms and lobby ) I advice this resort either they will make the their rates down or develop it so it can match to the prize they ask for the night.

Very nice place to relax. Not too busy, few can afford it. Beach is rather empty, relaxing, not busy like Boracay. I would visit again many times. No doubt. Food is excellent. Service very good. Allowed early check in without any extra fees. Wonderful service and staff. What's not to love? Everybody should vacation here. Seriously. One of the best places I ever visited and I traveled everywhere. Great place no doubt.

Nice Resort with multiple dining options and plenty of experiences offered. You can have as quiet or "action"-oriented a vacation, as you want. The free WiFi offered was, however, in my opinion subpar (new password everyday - and sometimes not even that working).

The view is amazing.... The price for the room is to much for what you actually get... The room we stayed in is in need of some maintenance... Paint is peeling off the walls, there was a mouse or soming living in the roof area that kept waking my wife and I up all night... Found a crab in the bathroom? Overall the place is amazing, but just needs some updates!

Picturesque but DISSAPOINTING facilities
This is such a picturesque place that the poorly maintained facilities is a major disappointment. The room has crickets and geckos living within the walls. The crickets chirping all night left me getting very little sleep fortunately my fiance can sleep through anything. The facilities are not in good repair/condition. There are many buildings that are in desperate need of repair. They are rotting or have holes in the roof of the walkway around the pool, the jet skiis are very aged, there was exposed wires very near the pool, the comfort room in our room had a pungent odor of decay. When ordering room service prepare to be told the food items they don't have. My fiance and I had to change our order 3 times before we finally was able to order something they had that we could order. The resort wouldn't offer any type of partial refund when our trip had to be abruptly shortened due to COVID-19 and the PH President placing Manila in lockdown. I do have to thank the driver taking us to the airport though for getting us there in short order. They need to make golf carts available to guests to rent to get around especially ones, like me, that have knee and back issues. The steep paths caused so much unnecessary pain.

First night we were stayed at the villa angelina beach front room and it was beautiful then we choose to upgrade to the cliff side room and never regret it. It was astonishingy beautiful. Nice big room with jacuzzi on the balcony. The staff are kind, helpful and courteous. Lots of activities to choose. Golf, spa,watersports and mountain activities too. If you looking for a place were not so many people discovered (like palavan,burakay)...this is the place to go

I actually booked a wheelchair accessible room (according to what I've seen on the rooms description on Expedia) for the purpose of my disabled father.. However the room that was given to us had an 11 quite big steps.. So I do not understand, why lie? How was I supposed to push my father's wheelchair with those steps?

We enjoyed our stay here because of the fine, white sand that feels like you're walking on a thick, soft carpet! We also enjoyed the zipline, one of the longest in the Philippines. Word of caution: Be prepared to be isolated to the outside world, as cellphone signal is very poor (works to your advantage if that is your intention for vacationing). The property is so huge ('dakak') with so many specialty restaurants, a golf course, rooms with majestic views, and many more amenities.

I would rate it 3.8. It's still nice but not that super nice. The beach was good as well as the restaurants. Food was excellent. Sad thing for me is thst, for its price, I would have expect to have toiletries such as foot towel, slippers, lotions, conditioners that usually are given by current hotel / resort of the same price range. Overall though, it was still ok.

Beautiful hideaway maintained and preserved .
Dakak Resort is located in an exotic forest with verdant trees and local flora and fauna, but most of all the beautiful secluded cove where anyone and any age can swim because the waters are calm and gradually deepens which is suitable for all regardless of swimming skills. Worth the effort and money to come to this well preserved ecological invironment. Keep it up Dakak Resort, see you next time around. Thanks.
