Rock Island Resort

Nice place, foods are good, well-accommodated staffs, air is fresh and very solemn place except communication signal is weak, no WIFI and no TV in the room.

The best getaway place for the family

The place was overrated, there are other hostels in Hinatuan town proper that can give comfort and ease with a much lower price. The staff were not so accomodating and approachable (except for the personnels in their restaurant) I would not recommend this place especially if you’re only staying overnight and has plans visiting Enchanted River and other tourist spots for the whole day. P.S. this resort is a boat ride away from Enchanted River, one way ride cost P150 good for 5pax. So imagine the additional costs if you’re travelling alone or has only 2-3pax in your group.

Pros Super close to enchanted river - 5 mins via boat On an island so great views and very peaceful and beautiful surroundings Most of the staff and owner seemed friendly Can organise island hopping tour for 500ph which is cheap Cons The rooms are very basic - uncomfy bed, horrible toilet with no flush, had ants in the room, no hot water. Need to pay for boat to hotel (150/200 each way) - not a big deal really I arrived at night and it was a bit confusing - after I checked in there was no staff and I was really thirsty and couldn’t find anywhere to buy water - maybe they could leave an a4 paper in the room explaining all the details for the resort WiFi said connected but didn’t work for me - and then there was a power cut. Ofc power outage isn’t their fault but it’s not ideal On the island hopping tour I did the two young men who took me out didn’t smile or say a single word to me - which made it a bit unpleasant and awkward as I was the only guy in the tour. Even if you don’t speak much English you can smile and be friendly through body language So overall I’d say the location is good and if your looking for a very basic place to crash and be in nature and see the natural sights then it’s good but just don’t expect luxury

We enjoyed the island hopping..

It was great. The staffs are awsome they alwayz greet you with a smile.

We had a wonderful time here and never did I miss the Internet. Food was awsome and fresh. Owners and staff were welcoming and friendly.

Originally scheduled for 2 nights, but when I stayed for the first night, at 7:30 on the second day, I fled. I would rather waste a night.

Concept of waking up and seeing sunrise in middle of water is awesome! This small island has its own sewer system which is commendable, environment friendly. Main opportunity is water source which owner is working on. Owner is very nice couple. Staff are also nice & helpful. Overall, stay was relaxing, just some discomfort in room condition bec there’s only a schedule for water.

Clean and Simple The hotel although literally in a rock in the middle of the sea has clean water available and has comfortable beds (double deck). No hot shower. Their staff is also accommodating. Phone signal varies - sometimes you get 1-2 bars, other times none. Don't expect data connection. They don't have wifi too. Food is okay taste-wise and price-wise.
