10/10 Exceptional

This resort is very very nice , it’s a terrific place to basically do nothing and switch off, the breakfasts are terrific and villas are well kept and great air con. We were there for 4 days in June supposedly wet season and only rained once, it was very hot but laying around the pool and cool villas made it very comfortable. Great transfer service too

10/10 Exceptional

Superior service everywhere. Fabulous location. Well-designed resort atea and grounds. Room was reasonably spacious & plenty comfortable. Food was good but not exceptional; as such, prices of food & drinks were unreasonably high for what was offered. As example: my son ordered a burger for dinner; charge that was listed on check came out to almost USD$30(!!) as VAT and service charges are all automatically added Also: be aware generally of lots of extra charges. We had booked our travel through Expedia, which had labeled the room as for 3 people. When we arrived at resort, front desk said the booking was listed as for 2 people & then insisted that we pay an extra >$100 per night (a not-insignificant sum)

The staff was amazing, always friendly and helpful. The villas were very enjoyable. We loved our two bedroom villa with private pool. The restaurant had a good variety of options. Make sure to book tours and spa treatments. We were lucky to get them in but should have checked ahead of time. The resort is very relaxing.

8/10 Very good

This is a report on a private island. Resort was very natural. Restaurant and bar service was good. Many food choices and all food was good. The pool deck needs to be refinished as wood was splintering. Very friendly staff and beautiful scenery. We enjoyed the stay at this property.

Amazing stay

We had an amazing time at the Cauayan. We loved everything about it, the setting, the outstanding level of service, the nature surrounding it, the privacy. I particularly loved seeing turtles and baby sharks while snorkelling on the beach. We had two wonderful day trips to the nearby attractions and beauty spots and did some diving. Jeremiah deserves a special mention for making our trips even more enjoyable. We rarely go back to the same place, but the Cauayan might just become an exception.

Our stay at Cauayan was truly exceptional. The pre-arrival communication was smooth and efficient, and the airport transfer was seamless. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. They were particularly wonderful with our two young children, creating a welcoming and fun atmosphere that made our holiday truly special. The island itself is breathtaking, and our accommodation was perfect. Cauayan surpassed our expectations in every way, and we left feeling like we'd experienced a slice of paradise.
