Very beautiful property wonderful views, and the staff are all very kind. I would definitely recommend anyone looking to stay in south Cebu to stay here. Location is in between canyoneering and whale watching in oslob, very accessible location. You can rent a bike or a scoter to get around or just take a tricycle or the bus to get to near by provinces. If you stay on the property it is very relaxing the pool is clean and there is beach access to clear waters.

Stunning little paradise

We booked the dome suite. And it's probably the cutest thing ever. The staff was friendly and really went out of their way to help us. The hotel in general is situated in a beautiful location. F&B is great and they offer a lot of home made products. In the dome suite we had a giant private balcony with TOTAL privacy. However: The way of construction makes some things look a bit primitive. The electricity looks shoddy (but it works) and you can get some ants inside. So you shouldn't be squirmish about those. However: This goes ONLY for the dome suit because of its construction. Other appartments looked clean. Usually when I go back to the same place I would choose a different hotel to get a different experience. But in this case I would love to go back there just to go back to this little paradise.

Big disappointment!

This hotel we were most looking forward to & had paid for the most expensive room. Everything apart from the views was disappointing & therefore ruined the end of our holiday. On arrival no proper welcome & nothing explained just given the key. Food stops at 8pm. Every order took a minimum of 45 mins which no one warned us about (even if there was no one else eating). There would always either be a mistake with our order or served something not as described. Half the stuff on menu was not available. Eg we ordered our dessert whilst still eating at 8pm as were told thats when food stopped. 1hr 20 mins later we still had no dessert, after checking the kitchen they told us they had none left! Our room (the best one) Cold shower that leaked badly as soon as turned on. We kept being told someone was coming to fix it but on the 3rd day when still no one came had to ask to use a different shower. The manager actually admitted she checked it & knew it was flooding the day before we turned up - how is this good enough to then still give us the room? Not enough staff, alot of the time noone was around if you wanted to order a drink etc. Had a dog which hung around at your table! Hotel has alot of potential but everything seemed to be half done & lacked any communication/organisation. We did complain & as a gesture of good will deducted money from our food bill. But our experience was still ruined which is why I hope people read this so are pre-warned!

We stayed in amihan room which is so spacious that can accommodate a big grp, the room itself is well designed, you have all the view of the ocean, the resort itself has a small private beach, theres no phone in our room which is really needed otherwise you have to walk so many steps up and down between the restaurant and the room

Terrible enough

I booked this hotel because it is one of the only hotel in the region provides kawa bath and I contacted them to ask if I book kawa bath after 6pm and mailed them too, never got reply till I reach to hotel and when I asked they said it is only available till 5pm. so dissappointed. In my room there were too many little insects. and the room is so close to the area where music is out loud. I ordered beef but not sure how it was cooked. I would not recommend this hotel even it has a good view in the morning only. I was lucky to stay just for a night.

Abgelegenes Hotel mit schönem Pool

Zuerst muss man sagen, dass wir uns gefreut hätten, wenn wir etwas herzlicher empfangen worden wären und wenn wir nicht alles hätten erfragen müssen. Wenn wir um etwas, wie zum Beispiel, dass geputzt wird, gebeten haben, wurde das auch prompt gemacht. Wenn wir gesagt haben, dass ein Guten Morgen nett wäre, wurden wir auch morgens begrüßt. Die Photos versprechen mehr, als die Fantasy Lodge hergibt. Die Terrasse ist sehr schön - der Blick, der Sonnenuntergang. Der Pool ist groß und tief und man kann super schwimmen. Der Koch ist sehr lobend zu erwähnen, da er immer freundlich und zuvorkommend war. Wir haben uns 2x etwas zu essen gewünscht und er hat sich bei der Zubereitung viel Mühe gegeben und auch Interesse daran gehabt, wie es uns schmeckt. Die beiden Nachbarorte sind schnell und gut mit dem Tricycle oder dem öffentlichen Bus zu erreichen. Da gibe es aber eigentlich auch nichts Erwähnenswertes. In Oslob ist man in ca 30 Minuten mit einem Tricycle.

Fantastic View

The room had a great balcony overlooking the Tanon Straight - beautiful sunsets and serene sunrises. Since its built on a cliff, the tree top was right at the balcony and at night the fireflies from the tree would come into the room. Absolutely beautiful! Food was also good!
