Exquisite Dining Experience

The dining options at this resort are simply very nice. Every meal we had was a culinary delight, from fresh seafood to local delicacies. The variety on the menu kept things exciting throughout our stay. One highlight was the private dinner on a secluded beach, which was the perfect romantic setting and an lovely way to enjoy a meal.

Villa Paradise

Staying in the beachfront villa was a dream come true. The spacious layout, large comfortable bed, and a deck that opened right onto the beach made every moment special. It was impeccably designed and offered utmost comfort, making it hard to leave the room. The view of the sunrise from my bed was a amazing way to start the day.

Relaxation at its Best

The spa experience on the island was nothing short of magical. I indulged in a sunset massage that combined natural elements with therapeutic techniques. It truly rejuvenated my spirit. The massage setting was ideal, surrounded by the sounds of nature and stunning views of the ocean. It was a highlight of my stay.

Adventure Awaits

The range of included activities at the resort was very nice. We went snorkeling, kayaking, and even explored hidden lagoons. Each experience felt unique and well-organized. The guided tours offered a great way to discover the surrounding beauty, and my favorite was definitely the snorkeling trip where we saw an array of vibrant marine life right off the beach.

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.

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.
