We had a wonderful 7 day stay at Island View Beachfront Resort. Peter was a great host and the staff were friendly and helpful. The customer service was exceptional. The property is set among beautifully maintained tropical gardens and our room looked out onto the beach. The atmosphere is very tranquil and serene which made for a very relaxing holiday. The Old Plantation Restaurant on site provided wonderful meals, drinks and service. Overall a memorable stay and would definitely recommend.

Check in fast with a personal greeting by Peter the owner. Most if not all rooms have ocean view. Diving on site.
Beach lounger’s. Excellent pool! Awesome staff! Personal in door and outdoor showers in cabanas.
Would definitely return.

Tranquil Get-away
Posted 17 Dec 2023 on HotelsIf you're looking for tranquility, this is it!! An amazing hotel. Service is excellent, the rooms are clean and comfortable. Water heater and air conditioning work excellent. The staff goes above and beyond. The Old Plantation restaurant at the hotel is excellent. Fresh ingredients and gorgeous scenery.
We flew into TAG and rented a car since the hotel is 2.5hrs away, but it is worth every minute. If you desire busy and bustling beach board walk this might not be for you, since its wonderfully secluded. Also, if you're wanting a full beach swimming experience, this one might not be for you. The beach is shallow which is common for the majority of the Bohol coastline. The hotel handsomely compensates for its virgin beaches with a beautiful infinity pool.
The hotel only accomodates a handfull of guests, which adds to the tranquil environment.
The only thing that suffered was the internet signal (data and wifi) in our room, but both can be accessed in the restaurant.
Would recommend this to all my family and friends

Hi Javiera. Thank you for your very fair and positive review. You are right, tranquillity, romance, and privacy are not for everyone. I am sorry about your internet experience, we are rather at the mercy of our suppliers, but most of the time it works well. We hope you can come back and stay with us again sometime—warm regards from all of us at Island View.

I have never rated a facility a 10....until now. The staff was far past excellent, there are no words for the level of service given to us. If you cannot totally relax here, you are most likely clinically dead. It is a 2-hour drive from the airport, and the beach is wonderful for us, but many most likely would not call this a beach. We loved the walk to the local town beach at low tide, great walk and well worth the trip, with many dining options available there. Our chef was world class, I am still in shock that she was not trained in some high-class culinary institute, but in fact is a local Filipina chef. Every different item we had were fabulous. the grounds were fantastic and recommend climbing the on-site tower for a breathtaking view. I cannot compliment this resort any higher, if you know how to chill...this is your place, period!

The road to the property is so bad.

Hi Alfonso. I am sorry that you had trouble with the local access road from the highway. The roads are improving, but slowly. There is, of course, a silver lining to the problem, the 800m of bad road does discourage the daytrippers, motorcyclists, and karaoke parties that tend to be found on the beach at the end of the good roads. Anyway, thanks for your comment and we hope to see you again, Best wishes from us all at Island View.
