"I wanted to share a few suggestions that may help enhance the overall experience for guests, especially those staying for multiple nights or who prefer non-water activities. While island hopping and hiking are wonderful offerings, incorporating additional on-site and land-based experiences can provide more variety and engagement.

"Mansion Buenavista was perfect for our family of four. Coffee and hot chocolate was over flowing, breakfast was scrumptious and delicious, close to everything you need and Noud, the owner was just a fantastic host. With his staff and crew, they treat us with all warmth and out most hospitality. Our room is very clean and comfortable. We highly recommend it. They even gave us breakfast To Go because of our early flight to our next destination in our family vacation. What a wonderful experience for our family. "

"Beautiful and comfortable place "

"Karuna has breathtaking views, simply beautiful. Dining in their restaurant is an experience itself, the food is delicious, the staff is very friendly and attentive, a wonderful reminder of how proud I am to be of Filipino heritage. The service is very professional and prompt. The pathways have an inline since it’s located in the mountain so if you are unable to physically walk up and down it may not be suitable but if you have no physical limitations then look no further, this place will be amazing!"

"Amazing place, perfect combination of resort and nature. Most amazing customer service, world class. From the time you arrive at the airport in Lio, up to the time you board the plane from Lio airport, the team is focused on providing a seamless experience. Highly recommended. "

"I enjoyed staying here, the view was amazing and the place was just unique. Breakfast was one of my favorite things about this place, stuff is very respectful, friendly and welcoming. "

"Perfect spot."

"There were dogs and a cat that ran the halls all night barking and fighting. The outside doors were broke so the sea port and noise was unstoppable. The booking included free breakfast but the kitchen was closed. The owner and his family partied upsairs above us all night. Then they asked for more money saying I had a guest and they needed 1000 extra per night. . I showed them the booking. I booked for 2 people and breakfast was included. The tv didnt work. The airconditioner didnt work. The owner is greedy. The place is a dump"
