Cauayan Island Resort and Spa

A sensational return to this hotel, which deserves an in-depth explanation of my glowing review: Luxurious room with magnificent view, we enjoyed the room overlooking the beach with private deckchairs, a veritable paradise. Impeccable service, a smiling welcome, attention to detail, all the staff without exception are truly adorable. The General Manager made sure we had a perfect stay, taking care of every detail. For example, we asked her to find a solution to the problem of too much light in the room in the morning, and the solution was found within the hour. We were offered small amuse-bouches in our room every evening, which was very much appreciated We had the right to a private evening, a dinner apart, outside the restaurant, a memorable romantic bubble We were unlucky with the rainy weather, the hotel offered us different daily activities to make our stay unforgettable all the same. (Cocktail workshop, cooking workshop, yoga, etc.) There's a small boutique selling local clothing and souvenirs, and as the hotel is on a cove away from the city, I thought this was a great detail. Fabulous spa, floor-to-ceiling glass view over the sea filled with small sharks and turquoise fish. A very good and varied restaurant, from the discovery of Filipino dishes executed to perfection, to the selection of more familiar European dishes that allow us to alternate menus for an entire week without feeling redundant. Full breakfast, large quality buffet and extensive additional menu, which can be adapted according to your wishes or requirements. Exceptional bar, exquisite cocktails made by a qualified bartender, and a very comfortable bar area. The island tour lived up to expectations: paradisiacal spots on a luxury boat, we highly recommend it Thanks to the whole team for having enabled us to enjoy a magical stay We very much hope to return one day!

From the moment your driver picks you up at the airport, to when you step the island and into paradise, you already feel the luxury and comfort. Each and every staff member makes you feel at home, at takes great care of you, remembering names, preferences and checks in regularly. The resort is magnificent, hidden in a secluded bay on a private island, and lives up to its 5-star fame. The restaurant with great menu, the edgeless pool with ocean view, the bar with breathtaking views, they bay to snorkel in, everything adds up to a great stay. The beach view villa is large, with a great kind bed, and direct views on the beach, and has its own indoor and outdoor bathroom area, with a large rain shower. There is a safe, a TV with apps like Netflix etc, and an airconditioning that works great to cool things down for a proper night sleep. While there is no cell reception on the island, they do have fast and good internet via Starlink. From every villa, or resort area you can access the wifi and be connected, if needed. Power is steady as they have their own generators and large solar farm up the mountain. Everything is taken care of: from carying your suitcases from the dock to the villa, the turndown service at sunset, the extra towels at the pool and bay area, a water hose at your front steps to shower off the sand from your slippers, etc. Definitely a 5-start paradise!

Honestly, this place is just on another level. The whole resort is beautiful — from the white sand beach, the relaxing villas, the view of the mountains, and all that nature around you. Everywhere you look, it just feels peaceful and private. The staff was accommodating and easy to approach. And I have to mention the food — everything we tried was delicious. It really exceeded our expectations. Honestly, every corner of this resort is picture-perfect. Now I understand why everyone calls this a 5-star experience. Would 100% love to come back again!

Its a great location with access by boat and a raft so not really for the unfit or elderly. Our Villa was in a great location by a lagoon. Breakfast was good as was the restaurant although expensive for what it was. The bar staff were very friendly and attentive. Our island hop excursions was great as was the Spa. Plenty of Snorkelling and canoeing.

We happened to be on the same flight as the Front manager Mak, so even before getting to the resort we felt the warmth that the resort and its staff exudes. Every staff member was warm, welcoming and helpful. They went above and beyond to make their guests happy. Food was excellent, the buffet breakfasts had great variety. The villa was comfortable. We liked that there was a hose at the front of the beach villa to wash our feet before entering the villa. Their tour guides are knowledgable and catered to our interests.
