Davince Hidden Paradise — Attraction in Hinatuan

Upon entering barangay Harip, you need to log your names in, pay a small fee of P10 per head and P30 per vehicle. As you go along inside, business is already booming as we saw some beach reports almost everywhere- side by side, big and small, nice and all. Some locals' houses have eateries, mini-marts and sari-sari stores upfront. There you can buy food, water and other stuff which you may had forgotten to buy beforehand.

Booking ahead would really be helpful, less hassle for the one who leads the pack. Haha

And you can also request seafood or anything ahead of your arrival. Plus staffs and locals can prepare the food for you. You just have to compensate...

Not Recommended – Terrible Experience

I really wouldn’t recommend Davince Hidden Valley Resort to anyone. The staff, especially one guy who seemed to be in charge, was extremely rude—not just to us but even to other guests. He was shouting and even threatening people, which made the whole experience uncomfortable and stressful. There’s also no signal in the area, and their customer service was just horrible.
