Ocean paradise

Ocean paradise: I think that's the best way to describe this place. It is a marine protected island with a wonderful reef. You can snorkel and see amazing fishes, corals, starfish and turtles! In the price the food is included (breakfast, lunch and dinner). The crew is amazing and they are trying to do anything you ask for. They played beach volley with us and they also showed me a pull-up bar where I could continue my training. The place was destroyed in 2022 by a typhoon, and they are slowly trying to fix it. It can now host about 15-20 people at most, and you live in a hut type of house where there is a private bathroom. There are also hammocks and sunbed all over the place. If you are a solo person, going there is weird as there are only couples 99% of the times. I've stayed for 4 nights, but I can easily go back there and spend another 10. It's true that there is not much to do apart from, running, swimming, snorkelling, beach volley, basketball, pull up bar, etc. But this simply life fits me so, I can stay there for many days. The night sky is also incredible and you can see sunset, moonrises, starts, milky way, etc. The only downside I see is that they are keeping most "street" lights on during the night, so you cannot really enjoy the dark night sky, but it's a matter of going around the island and you have your peace. It's really paradise on earth!

Cette île est un vrai paradis avec des personnes adorables souriantes qui font tout pour rendre le séjour agréable Les bungalows(sur la plage)sont d’un confort simple mais surtout mal entretenu manque un robinet,les wc qui fuit douche qui arrose toute la salle d’eau après avoir signalé ils ont ajouté un robinet. Par ailleurs ce ne doit pas être facile car l’eau salée ronge tout et à part la merveilleuse nature il n’y a rien sur cette île

La réalité n’est pas celle des photos hotels.com, tout est délabré, rouillé, cassé et sale… Les ventilateurs sont hors de fonction, rouillé. Les prises électriques lancent des décharges lorsqu’on met la prise… on dirait que le temps c’est arrêté en 2023 en même temps que les panneaux dédicacés par les visiteurs. Le point positif: Le cadre la plage les eaux sont splendides. La gérante Ann est gentille, serviable ainsi que les autres membres sur l’île. La nourriture est bonne.

Île avec énormément de potentiel

L’île est magnifique, le paysage a coupé le souffle et les employés sont souriants et à l’écoute. En revanche, les bungalows sont relativement sales surtout la salle de bain qui aurait besoin d’un rafraîchissement complet. Avec un peu de chance, vous rencontrerez des blattes dans vos sacs non fermés ou lit. Là aussi un insecticide serait le bien venu. Malgré tout, nous en garderons un bon souvenir

Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend. Insbesondere Ryan und Ken bemühen sich sehr intensiv einem alle Wünsche zu erfüllen. Man fühlt sich wie in einer Familie. Herzlichen Dank für alles!!!

This island is a paradise! White sand, blue water, amazing sea life and great staff. Speaking about staff, I dont know how much I can thank Ryan for making our stay! He is amazing! He was everywhere and doing everything at this resort. Sometimes I felt like he was the only one working there , but he is amazing at his job! You can tell he enjoys working there and is super helpful! Speaking about the resort now. The resort definitely needs some refurnishing. Small things like updating the bungalows, painting and making small improvments which will make this place even better! I recommend this place to anyone who is thinking of visiting.

Had an amazing time in Modessa, from the moment we were picked up In Roxas by Sibu and the crew we were made to feel so welcome. On arrival it just got better and better. The island was so beautiful and tranquil myself and my family were in awe. Spent 4 very happy days there, island hopping and snorkelling. Big thanks to Aldin,Antony, Johnray and Michael for a fabulous time on the islands. I want to save my last thanks to my new friend Ryan, thank you for making me feel so comfortable in the water and showing me and the family around, and thanks for the Led Zeppelin t shirt,you made my trip. See you soon Lads.

Nice place to stay

As we spent five nights here, we do enjoy the peaceful atmosphere on this tiny island. Stuff here are really kind and helpful, Especially we'd like to thank Ryan and Mark here. It’s easy to find baby sharks, stingrays around. But when you do snorkeling, do not try to touch or stand on the coral reefs or trying to pick up anything from the sea except trashes. Trying to use sun proof wet cloth and pants to instead sun cream, they are more water resistant, also won’t harm the corals.

從公主港巴士做3.5-4小時抵達Roxas巴士總站 再做嘟嘟車過去指定的酒吧等待 一定要2PM準時 請注意巴士時間，海水乾淨 但是浮潛能見度不好，從潛店前游出去50米有滿滿珊瑚跟魚群，運氣好可以看到魚風暴（照片都是調過色的）海水上冷下熱，住宿就真的很差 我覺得，晚上才有電，風扇累積厚厚的灰塵，吹起來無風，蚊蟲到處都有直跑進來，床上打不完的沙，我真的睡不好.....但員工服務很好很親切，再一次機會 要等他有冷氣我才要來 哈哈哈哈

Please don't let my average facility rating deter you from visiting here. I am being honest about the lack of amenities so you don't get a false impression about the island. I had a fabulous time at this chill location. It is a bit primitive but exactly what I loved about it. Many of the beach front cottages make you feel like you are on the beaches of Hawaii 100 years ago. As you have read in other reviews there is no air conditioning and depending on the time of year you could have a sweaty sleeping experience. The staff were awesome and I will definitely visit here again because as with many Philippine locations, tourism will eventually ruin the natural beauty.

Et dejligt sted

Fantastisk og smuk beliggenhed Spartanske forhold, men som opvejes af beliggenhed og urtrolig hjælpsom personale. Synd at vedligeholdelse ikke priorers højere og at man ikke sørger for at tømme skraldespande. Men kan varmt anbefales hvis man ikke forventer luksus Der er en dejlig stilhed og ro. Der er rig mulighed for snorkling og dykning.

2/10 Poor

Une honte : à éviter absolument

Locaux : Vétustes et dangereux. La cantine collective n'a rien de romantique, mais surtout les lattes du sol sont en mauvais état. Je pèse un poids normal, pourtant j'ai traversé le sol de la salle de repas. Je suis restée coincée jusqu'au genou, m'en sortant finalement avec seulement des dermabrasions et des hématomes. A notre départ le lendemain, car nous avons écourté notre séjour, le trou était toujours présent dans le sol. Le personnel est venu me demander après coup si j'allais bien. Heureusement que des touristes sont venus bien avant le personnel pour me décoincer. Chambre : Simplement une honte. La moustiquaire est trouée, ne permettant pas de se protéger efficacement contre la quantité impressionnante de mouches dans les chambres. Il n'y a pas de coffre fort, ce qui est très gênant quand la fenêtre ne ferme pas. Pas de prêt de serviette de plage. L'eau de la douche n'est pas chauffée et est à l'eau salée. Mauvaise odeur. Apportez votre champoing si vous ne voulez pas payer 25 pesos par dosette de shampoing. Environs : Enormément de mouches sur la plage. Snorkling sans intérêt car les coraux sont morts. Chaussures pour marcher sur les rochers indispensables, d'autant qu'il y a des coraux morts tranchants dès l'entrée dans l'eau. Nombreux déchets éparpillés partout sur l'île. Nourriture : Très mauvaise. Pas de dessert le midi. Le soir buffet avec cake sans goût. Aucun fruit sauf au petit déjeuner. Eau "potable" seulement au repas avec un odeur d'essence
