The setting is beautiful and quiet (we visited in low season), and the room was spacious and comfortable, but the hot water didn’t work in my room—don’t expect a good shower here.

The location is great, the property is a bit old but okay, the staff are very friendly, and the estate is beautiful. The food, however, was bad for Philippine standards, with many items unavailable or too salty.

It was our 2nd time back. We first stayed 4 nights then another 2 nights in a span of 2 weeks. It was a perfect getaway!!! The ambiance was perfect. The staff were top notch. The food was exceptional. We will surely be back again and again and again. Nothing to dislike

I like the area because the beach is clean , nice view , safety and very relaxing. The thing I don’t like for staying there at the whispering resort because if they have only couple of guests , they don’t pay attention, Just like us staying there just 2 of us left they didn’t even ask if we are okay they didn’t approach us if what we need and also the room they should clean right away not like they just wait us to tell them to clean , and also if u want something at the reception area no one around there because only 1 staff assign the area, and it’s hard for them to find . You need To wait an hour or half an hour, and also we ask for ice they said they don’t have ice , but when we ask the one lady the lady she give us ice right away but there’s a payment 20 pesos😅 but yes I understand that but when some of the staff lied about it like it’s very disappointing, and also even just a couple of guest they should pay attention , they should let us feel that we are welcome the area. The beach is very nice, super but the staff we are so very disappointed and also the food. Some food is okay taste good but some other food like na very expensive but the taste not like that expensive. Like the picture I order chicken wing the color of the chicken is brown nice color but they give me a burn chicken wings and also when we check out before they should tell us that sir/maam wait huh? Because I call the security to bring ur bad at the outside , because u have alots of stuff but when im done paying after that nothing like come on 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 but by the way I am very satisfied of the area except the😅☺️☺️☺️

I had a wonderful time at this resort, thanks to the friendly staff and the stunning views. The animals were a delight to see, and I appreciated the resort's efforts in protecting endangered species. The staff even provided us with cutlery for a little party in the picnic area, which was a lovely touch. However, some activities were unfortunately unavailable, which was a bit disappointing.
