Spectacular, beautiful resort! Sorry I didn't have a date since this is truly a couples place. But I did enjoy the solitude, perfect beach and included snorkeling, and double bed hut right on the sand with wifi! Food is better than average for Philippines. Not sure how they even get the food here or how they could have built such a nice place on a deserted island (20 min boat ride from Basuanga airport after short van xfer). Beware there are a few thousand bats if you're in the main hotel and at dusk they kinda go nuts flying around...

Marvelous view and got to see so many wild creatures. Might feel lonely if you are traveling solo.

The resort was on an isolated island. Took 20-min car ride from the airport and 45-min boat ride from the port to the island. Our room was supposed to be ocean view, just right behind the sunrise villas. Unfortunately, the trees have grown high & hardly can we see the ocean. So best to go to the beach and enjoy the sceneries there. Not worth paying extra, unless it's sunset villa. Breakfast was acceptable, but in-room dining service need improvement. Especially, the cleaning up part. The swimming pool is under maintenance and I thought seafood & sashimi would be good, but nope, which is a bit extra disappointing. However, the general experience was good since the staffs are very nice and polite. We received different types of local snacks daily and turned out the kitchen made Filipinos food better than international ones. For morning hiking to Eagle Point, it's not really worth it, unless you have a drone to have 360-degree view. Intended to rate 3.8/5, but I got to see the sea turtle so 4/5 ~

Boat transfer is very unreasonable. One way from island to port is 4,500 for 20minutes.😰 That makes 9000 for two way. Too expensive. Their body wash container is not refilled. Worst is, Wifi is not convenient to us since we are also working online. Then on our last day, the water just stop maybe there is construction on-going. Fyi, the oceanview suite is very far from the reception, pool and beach. Not coming back again.

Negative
-value for money
-outdated graden suite and smell
-restaurant and food quality. I ended eating only the breakfast and deep friend fish as dinner.
-staff at front office, not everyone gave a hospitality welcome feeling.
- A not working reward program, and the front office only replying that I can try it again next time when I come back to the hotel. Did even make an attempt to look in what was or went wrong. Even by writing feedback on the 2 in their book for the “manager” to read
- unfortunately I needed to book an extend night because there was no more flight available back to Manila. They wanted me to get out of the room and wait till 15:00pm to enter the other room.
- Their rule is that you can check in on 15pm, we arrived on the first day with a group of like 16 people, around 11:00am. We were not allow the go to our room yet, but at 15:00pm we needed to go to the front office by ourself to ask to go to our room, and that ended that we could receive our luggages at 15:40pm in the room.
-WhatsApp that I send before my arrival has never been answered
- Hospitality is not top tier yet for the value of money, some improvements need to be make.

Incredible location on a small island with only this hotel on it. White beaches and crystal water make it a real paradise. Staff is super friendly and helpful. We loved the wild animals (bats and lizards) and enjoyed the “Jurassic Park” feeling of free nature experience. The pick up was super smooth and what a beautiful arrival on the boat up the river!
A lot of families with kids by the pool so avoid that and enjoy the beach which is mostly empty and indeed the best part of this place.

Superb facilities and location!
The service and food quality just doesn’t match on price that is being offered.
Cocktails that was served to us was bad, it was just a simple Mojito.
We ordered 2 entree and it was served on a very different time. We end up canceling 1 for the delay.
Theres no control on birds eating your order.

This was actually my first time at Club Paradise. The sand was great very fine. It was calm going there but my boat ride going back was really wavy but that was okay. I love staying at the newly built ocean view rooms, very spacious very modern, but quite a walk especially when you’re drunk. LOL! The sunset standard villa on the other hand is very cramped, you don’t have much space to put your luggage to but at least you have a great view and closer to everything. Food is okay. Not good but not bad either. Pricey for the taste but since there’s no other restaurant on the island, nothing to compare it to. I suggest the 15min eagle point hike. Start walking at 5:30am.

Super super satisfying two nights on the island. Time seemed to slow down. I even felt like I stayed for three or four days~
On the first day, we chose to go directly because we had to check in at 3:00. You are very lucky to see turtles, a lot of fish, and clownfish. The weather was not very good afterwards, so we didn't succeed. I was in a daze by the sea and it was really comfortable to sleep~
The ecology of the entire island is still very good. There are many big lizards, and some small animals such as hermit crabs and crabs. Overall, it is still very good!
The food is average, although I still feel it is a bit expensive hahaha
If the waves are not too big, there are still many facilities to play on the island, you can climb mountains, row boats, and snorkel ~ adults and children should have a lot of fun!
The cutest thing is that they feed you snacks from the moment you get on board, and they also feed you in the hotel, which is so cute~

The hotel is far from the mainland and it takes about 40 minutes to get there by boat. The island where the hotel is located has dense vegetation, and bats, geckos, and even large lizards can be seen everywhere. Breakfast is very average, very few choices!

Every waiter in the hotel is very warm and thoughtful. The environment is even better, bats and lizards can be seen everywhere, and you can snorkel and see all kinds of rare marine animals at the door of the restaurant. It's a first-class experience!

It is definitely a good value for money. The service is online, the environment is beautiful, and the white sand beach is invincible. You must choose the deluxe sunset villa, the beach is right next to it, very convenient. When we chose it, there was no deluxe sunset option, so we could only choose the deluxe sunrise villa. There are many small animals on the island, and there is a bat forest outside. The islanders are also very kind.
Disadvantages:
The service speed is very slow, the food is served very slowly, the menu selection is limited, and the golf cart is often understaffed. The hotel does not provide enough freedom in the projects

Want to see the sunset🌇Choose a sunset villa, just go out~ Since we played in Coron for two days, the stay in Paradise Island was too short, and we haven't finished walking on the island😅. The swimming pool is a bit small, and the water is stagnant, which needs to be improved.
The room assigned at the beginning was too far from my friend, so I asked to change it. Because there were customers in other rooms, I changed to the next room😂, and the front desk did not arrange your luggage to change directly. I had to call the room to change it. The service was not detailed enough (•︠ˍ•︡)🥺Facing different customers every day, maybe they are also **~Smiling on the surface, ** in the heart, hahaha😁The pretty front desk lady was indifferent~Others would take the initiative to say hello when they saw customers🫰🏻
Then there was no fruit for breakfast, probably because of the island, the supplies were scarce😰.
Finally, overall, it is very suitable for taking children to get close to nature. There are bats, lizards, and many birds on the island🐦~ Very good photos.
