    The Transport from the airport is relatively expensive 120 euro go and back. I suggest arranging it with the hotel it is easier and stress free. I tried to arrange it my self and you can save maybe 15 euro each way but you need to like negotiating and can be stressful.

    If you are an influencer, please do not make any content about this paradise. Do not make mass tourism go and ruin Cabilao Island just for your sake. This hotel boutique is one of the best I have ever been. Diving in Cabilao is amazing. Diving equipment is very well maintained or new. Diving Instructor Mathias was professional and knowledgeable. Food is incredible, and every dish we ordered was made with love and amazing ingredients, and you could definitely taste it. Facilities are very nice. Staff is super friendly and helpful with any requests. If you are searching for a romantic escape with your partner, this is the place for you. It is an exclusive place. Please respect nature!

    There was no WiFi in our room, the bathroom wasn’t really done up nicely and looked unfinished. The shower could be better.

    It has a nice feel. Great food. Comfortable beds. Staff try hard.

    A really peaceful, relaxing place - accommodation, restaurant and pool are all good. Diving is the main reason we went and it is great - the dive sites themselves are beautiful, equipment good quality and the dive crew - instructor, dive masters and boatman are all excellent.

    The resort is by nothing and it’s by it’s own island and it doesn’t say on the website that you have to take a boat on and off the island to get to other places.

    Absolutely great hospitality and amazing staff, very helpful staff. Room was great and clean and pool was very clean and fun. Has lots of chairs to relax.

    I didn’t like that I stayed only for less than a week

    An extremely clean, well maintenanced place. Staying here is like staying in paradise. There’s a new Billiard table, a lot of books, games, a clean pool and everywhere great view on the ocean. Also the massage is really good for the price. The diving staff is great aswell. They took their time with me, showed me a great world underwater.

    Nothing!

    Cabilao was absolute paradise! From the moment we arrived the staff were so kind and accommodating. The beach and view is just stunning! There were so many little extra touches to make our stay more special/comfortable. The food was excellent, and they were brilliant at catering to me as a vegan, even though it isn't common in the Philippines. Anything they weren't sure of they came to check which was very reassuring. The location is perfect and so remote. We always had the beach to ourselves. The owner Lucy was so kind and gave great recommendations and made us feel so welcome. We didn't dive but heard that it was fantastic with lots of sightings of sea turtles. We loved snorkelling and the pool area is fab. We had the best time and it was the perfect start to our Philippines trip, we didn't want to leave! We definitely want to return in the future! A special shout out to Mafette and Ivy who looked after us so well, but really all the staff were amazing. Thank you for the most incredible stay!! Lucy & Ethan x

    Everything was excellent.

    My visit to Cabilao Resort in the Philippines was an amazing experience in every way. The atmosphere was excellent and a big thank you to the reception staff, the restaurant staff, and to Sir Julien and Roni in Cabilao Divers Center. I was very happy with my visit to this resort and I hope to visit it again. The diving was an excellent experience, without a doubt.

    Some may critique that wifi does not reach (at least our) room. For us that was perfectly fine to wind down.

    Incredible value-for-price. Especially in low season. Top tier performance, extraordinary food and quality despite at times being almost the only guests. The diving nearby is excellent, very calm and friendly dive master. The restaurant is superb. Don't worry you can pay everything at the end as room charge with credit card. For us 4 days was the perfect time to experience all highlights at least once. The transfer package and bohol tour may be a little pricy, but took a lot of organizing load off our shoulders (and gets cheaper the bigger the group, it's a group price) so was absolutely worth it. If you stay in cebu/bohol I suggest you adjust your trip to be able to stay here.
