Basic, laid back, and beautiful. There is a rocky part at the right side of the island going towards the back facing the Pacific while fine white sandy shore faces the mainland Barangay San Victor. Waves are pretty strong at certain time of the day so be very cautious especially with children. Price point is pretty reasonable. Room accommodations are decent and pretty new (don't expect five star hotel type accommodations because the rooms are pretty basic). The entrance fee or the room rate is already inclusive of boat transfers. When going on peak season, be sure to book in advance.
There's a canteen/souvenir shop that sells limited items. There is also a kitchen that sells fish per kilo with free cooking (rate starts at P450/kilo for 2 types of dish). If you brought your own supplies, they offer cooking starting at P50. They also do catering but you need to call and book in advance. They also rent kitchen utensils for a fee of P100 (good for 20 pax).

VERY accommodating staff. Would like to highlight the word VERY because they have the best service compared to the other resorts I had been. They resolve your inquiries and even make suggestions. Been here this month and because of Amihan the beach had high sea waves, but still I had fun.
*Super sulit ang bayad, entrance fee includes boat ride to & from island, and cottages (na pwede raka mubalhin if dli ka kaangay, as long as vacant) *Food is a bit pricey for me BUT they will deliver it on your cottage (made to order), dili kay maghulat2 ka didtoa sa cashier nila. Plus lami pajud!! *SPACIOUS ang place. *DAGHAN ug cubicles for common CR, shower rooms, and even dishwashing areas.
I highly recommend the place. Super friendly jud ang mga tao plus the place is really nice. Would definitely be back...
