Cabilao Sanctuary Beach & Dive Resort

My wife and I spent 4 days here. This is as good as it gets. Lazy days total relaxation in a beautiful place. The resort had a fabulous beach location. The pool for all practical purposes is on the beach. The restaurant is open air and open deck and is also on the beach. Great views regardless what you are doing. The food here is excellent. Breakfast is great Dinner is great. The restaurant is open all day if you get hungry. The snorkeling in front of the resort is very nice. They have a full dive operation. We went snorkeling all 3 days on the boat. Just the boat captain and us. Each day he took us to a different great spot. Very spontaneous. About as laid back as you can imagine. The room is excellent . Big king size comfortable bed. Outside shower. Amazing. Great AC and we asked and received a floor fan. They say there is wifi only in the public areas but our wifi worked great in the room at all times. A nice bonus. They provide transportation to and from the island and are always there to help. The staff is excellent. They are as nice as they can be. As nice a place as anywhere we have stayed anywhere in the world. Thank you Liza, I've, Rose, and John John We will miss you.

If you're looking for a real getaway break on a desert island, this is it. Lovely resort and well equipped pool area, right on the beach. Took a bit of travelling to but we liked the remoteness. Diving on your doorstep, though some of the reef was damaged in a typhoon last year. Staff very friendly, well-trained and can't do enough for you. Food and wine options good, not expensive and hearty portions. Accomodation in charming thatched huts with terrace area. Unfortunately let down by very small beds and no proper bedding, just a polyester throw which didn't cover both of us and you sweat under. Would also have very much apprecciated tea and coffee and a fridge in the rooms so overall could have been better value for money. Overall very peaceful and great stay.

the resort is very quiet, well-structured with a very nice pool and beach area. The rooms are spacious and there is everything you need, with impeccable cleanliness. The mattresses are comfortable and the bed linen is always clean and of excellent quality. What made us very happy is that they are very ecologically aware, they give you metal water bottles, very nice, which you can fill with water from the dispensers when you need it, avoiding the plastics of the bottles. We compliment the cook because the quality of the food is very good and very varied, all cooked fresh. The staff is very friendly and affable, and after a while you get on the same wavelength and feel at home. The masseuses at the Spa are very good, the one-hour massage relaxes and regenerates you. The diving is nice and calm, our guide Ron Ron was always very attentive and precise in controlling the progress of the dive. The dive spots are never too far apart. There is the possibility to rent bikes and take a tour around the island to see the reality of this small place where fishermen and farmers still live. In short, this is an oasis of peace and quiet where we were able to regenerate ourselves. We would like to thank all the staff for their kindness and their friendship which we greatly appreciated, as well as the owners Lucy and Julien who have become dear friends. Many thank's
