    The road is a single lane dirt road with lots of pot holes. If you have a vehicle that doesnt have a high ground clearance, you just might be scraping the road

    Lots of Niknik (sand flies) and we had a couple of blackouts during our stay, which isn't the fault of the resort. We just had some bad weather. I would urge you to bring insect repellent before you come

    Resort is very nice. The staff are amazing and always looked after you

    If you drive, make sure to take the correct rough road, which is the middle one between the north and south roads and takes about 15 minutes. Otherwise, you might damage your car. The AC was out for an extended period due to a power shortage, but there were fans powered by a generator as a backup. I was also billed for additional food that I didn't have.

    There's a nice beach where you can spot big fish between the rocks, and there are some interesting jellyfish as well, though there are no corals.

    ALERT!!! 🚨 Do yourself a favour and do NOT book at this location. The main reason is the number of sand flies in the area. Basically, you’ll end up being forced to spend most of your days inside your room that can only be described as very basic. The “resort” is definitely not worth the money you get charged. The price point should be more around AU$ 60 per night, not the AU$ 153 we paid. The day tours advertised are in fact not doable due to the remote location of the resort. We tried to book 2 of them and both times we’ve been told it was not possible to arrange transportation. You’ll end up getting stuck in a “hotel” with very limited food and beverage options (the menu looks extended but, once again, when you try ordering you’ll find out that many options are not available). Food is passable but definitely the worst I had in the Philippines, and portions are also very small. 🛑 🚑 NOTE: I’ve found myself forced to cut my stay short due to the number of sand flies bites. My body was fully covered (photos attached) and I had to get medicine to stop the swelling/pain (last photo are my legs after 2 days of having left this resort and received medical treatment) My idea of a holiday is definitely not being in bed, trapped under a mosquito net for days..My husband and I had no options but to leave earlier and the manager of the property refused any sort of compensation. We ended up having to move to Puerto Princesa and paid for another accommodation. Very disappointing. I understand we made a very bad decision when selecting this resort, and it was totally our fault. I would have stayed there the entire trip and sucked it up, but the fact that it was physically impossible for me to stay there, well I think we should have been given a refund. Since our return I contacted Booking.com customer service but, after many phone calls and emails, all I have been able to obtain is compensation for 1 night out of the 3 we had to cancel

    The road leading to the hotel was very rough—about 7km from the highway, making it difficult to access. There weren’t many activities offered, such as island hopping, which was disappointing. The food options were very limited, and the staff often had to run to the market to get supplies, causing delays. Additionally, the room had a lot of mosquitoes, there wasn’t much water, and our laundry took three days to return—and it was still wet! On the positive side, the staff were friendly, but unfortunately, that wasn’t enough to make up for the overall experience.

    Way too expensive, but if you go, bring bug repellant and your own water

    It's a poor value for the money. You can get WAY more for what they want to charge per night. If it was 40-50 dollars per night that would be reasonable. 100+? No way. -The "purified" water tastes terrible. The worst I've tasted in the Philippines. Not sure if it's even purified. We only stayed 2 nights and once I left I got sick. -There are dead jellyfish all over the beach and live ones in the water. You can't swim unless it's low tide because of all the rocks. -There are an insane amount of sandflies. If you don't know what those are, they're like mosquitos, but smaller and more of them. They carry diseases like malaria and dengue and the facility did nothing to mitigate them or warn us it was going to be a problem. -There's a long bumpy , single lane, dirt road to get there and it's in the middle of nowhere, so finding bug repellant once you're there would be a huge hassle. You're 30 minutes from a main road, then good luck finding a store from there. -Brownouts mean there's no aircon in the middle of the day sometimes. The electric fan was so cheap it would stop working if you moved it the wrong way. Then you'd have to fiddle with it until it would work again. This place is 100+ dollars per night. -The bathroom smells like old urine. Like no one ever cleans it properly. -The floor felt like it was made of metal and not cement. So it was easy to stomp around and vibrate the whole place. -The bed is basically 5 inches of the softest foam you've ever felt. I don't even think it was bedding foam. It didn't hurt my back, but it felt very cheap and uncomfortable. -Poor wifi connection, no mobile data from our carriers, which might be a plus for some people.

    -Avocado shake -Food -Scenery -Seashells -People working there were great -Secluded and not a lot of other guests... for a reason...

    Absolutely nothing.

    The scenery is superb - literally to die for. The room was soo clean, and the stuff extremely friendly. The host/property manager is quite amazing, very responsive to your needs and always makes sure guests are comfortable

    I think they have to add some food options. Some drinks and cocktails.

    Beautiful staff. Before checking in they messaged me, offered a transfer from the airport, and offered dinner while we were going to the hotel. Perfect wild views. It's a really wonderful place. I don't like fish, but Their fish is amazing. I really recommend this hotel especially if you want to spend time with your wife/husband.

    Staying at Surya was an absolute dream. The location couldn't have been more perfect. Having direct access to the beach made our stay incredibly convenient and enjoyable. Waking up to the sunrise, the sound of the waves, and stepping onto the balcony to witness the breathtaking views of the ocean was truly an experience. Glad that I found this on Booking.com! We can't recommend this beachfront place enough. Thank you too to the host for being so accommodating!
