My stay at Pangulasian Island was a mix of breathtaking views and quite a few letdowns. While the location is simply stunning and the staff is super accommodating, the dining options fell flat and the service at check-in left much to be desired. The price tag felt steep for what was offered, especially with the food situation. Overall, it was a beautiful place, but improvements are needed in certain areas.

This island resort is breathtaking, offering unparalleled views and a fantastic private island experience. Our room was spacious and clean, and the staff's hospitality truly stood out. However, the dining experience left a bit to be desired, especially for a resort of this caliber. We loved the various activities available, which made our stay memorable, but we felt the food quality could be improved.

I had high hopes for our stay, and while the views of the island were breathtaking and the staff made an effort to be welcoming, the overall experience was marred by significant maintenance issues and inconsistent service. The dining options were average at best, and communication with the management left a lot to be desired. I genuinely enjoyed the natural beauty, but the resort itself felt like it was not living up to its potential.

My experience at Pangulasian Island was incredibly mixed. While the surroundings are stunning and the beach villas offer breathtaking views, the service and overall maintenance left much to be desired. The dining options were limited and at times questionable in hygiene. It's a beautiful location, but not worth the steep price considering the issues encountered.
