Slice of paradise although basic amenities (had to manually water flush the toilet). Staff were exceptionally friendly. Food was average and drinks limited. Overall great stay.

This island is a paradise! White sand, blue water, amazing sea life and great staff. Speaking about staff, I dont know how much I can thank Ryan for making our stay! He is amazing! He was everywhere and doing everything at this resort. Sometimes I felt like he was the only one working there , but he is amazing at his job! You can tell he enjoys working there and is super helpful! Speaking about the resort now. The resort definitely needs some refurnishing. Small things like updating the bungalows, painting and making small improvments which will make this place even better! I recommend this place to anyone who is thinking of visiting.

Had an amazing time in Modessa, from the moment we were picked up In Roxas by Sibu and the crew we were made to feel so welcome. On arrival it just got better and better. The island was so beautiful and tranquil myself and my family were in awe. Spent 4 very happy days there, island hopping and snorkelling. Big thanks to Aldin,Antony, Johnray and Michael for a fabulous time on the islands. I want to save my last thanks to my new friend Ryan, thank you for making me feel so comfortable in the water and showing me and the family around, and thanks for the Led Zeppelin t shirt,you made my trip. See you soon Lads.

Nice place to stay
As we spent five nights here, we do enjoy the peaceful atmosphere on this tiny island. Stuff here are really kind and helpful, Especially we'd like to thank Ryan and Mark here. It’s easy to find baby sharks, stingrays around. But when you do snorkeling, do not try to touch or stand on the coral reefs or trying to pick up anything from the sea except trashes. Trying to use sun proof wet cloth and pants to instead sun cream, they are more water resistant, also won’t harm the corals.

Please don't let my average facility rating deter you from visiting here. I am being honest about the lack of amenities so you don't get a false impression about the island. I had a fabulous time at this chill location. It is a bit primitive but exactly what I loved about it. Many of the beach front cottages make you feel like you are on the beaches of Hawaii 100 years ago. As you have read in other reviews there is no air conditioning and depending on the time of year you could have a sweaty sleeping experience. The staff were awesome and I will definitely visit here again because as with many Philippine locations, tourism will eventually ruin the natural beauty.
