Delicious Culinary Experience

Dining at Cauayan Island Resort was truly a delight. The extensive menu offered a variety of mouth-watering options, especially the ginataang sugpo and freshly caught prawns which were excellent. Every dish was meticulously plated and bursting with flavor. The homemade Opera cake was simply very nice, craft-worthy of being served in France!

Heavenly Spa Treatments

The spa at Cauayan was an lovely experience. Each treatment room featured a viewing window over the reef, allowing us to gaze down at the marine life, including fish and sharks, while enjoying our massages. It was such a unique and tranquil setting that added to our relaxation.

Amazing Diving Adventures

The diving experiences at Cauayan were simply lovely. We enjoyed shore dives at the house reef, teeming with marine life like turtles and lobsters. The team, especially our dive master Noriel, ensured we were well taken care of, making it a stress-free and relaxing adventure.

My stay was nothing short of magical, surrounded by breathtaking views and a true paradise-like atmosphere. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we felt welcomed and taken care of, which made our experience even more special. However, the resort does need some maintenance to reach its full potential, particularly in terms of room comfort and amenities. The dining options were excellent, especially the breakfast, but a few areas could use some improvement.

What a fabulous resort! We loved our week-long stay in a beach-front bungalow. The entire experience was mostly smooth, but the transfer from the airport did have some hiccups. The staff were exceptional, from check-in to check-out. The only downside was the lack of evening activities and some areas needing upkeep. Overall, the stunning beach and fantastic snorkeling made our stay worthwhile and we would definitely return.
