This place is seriously amazing. They go above and beyond to provide a luxurious retreat. I especially enjoyed the location and being close but not too close to the night life.

Beautiful property right on the beach! Staff was very helpful, friendly and professional. The room with private pool was spacious, very well appointed, and clean. The beach had comfortable beach beds with umbrellas and the beach was quiet and private. (Due it the proximity to the airport you do see and hear the planes taking off and coming in. It didn't bother us, but just note that does happen througout the day.) The bonus of being able to order a drink and food from your beach bed was great too. There are 2 on site restaurants; one has a beautiful breakfast with an array of foods I couldn't even begin to recount. Dinner selection was fair and also very good. Rooms electronics/lights/curtains are all operated via the app you load on your phone - very high tech and easy to manipulate. This is a very high end resort but has a quaint, small feel to it which adds to it's appeal. I highly recommend.

It’s wise to consider taking the Ferry because the hike back up isn’t very easy.

We didn't make it Balos Lagoon. Since drive was little dangerous if you are new to the road and it was raining and we saw bunch of land slide along the road. So we retracked on the way. But it was amazing view.
