The place is amazing like a paradise for travelers. You can swim anytime in the sea and the staff are friendly.

I booked thru expedia, paid in full for 4 double room for me and my family. Website is not ear about the resorts including transportation. We arrived there via small boat.the front desk is not aware of our booking .they gave us the 8 person room instead of the actual preferred room of choice. The room they gave us is terrible. Toilet has no toilet seat. Walls of bathroom has holes. There is no shower. Toilet has no flush. Drain from the sink is just going to the floor. No wifi. I have pictures of their room bec i feel being robbed of what i paid for. Even the cheapest hotel is better than this resort can offer.
3.7
My rate for this place is pleasing only because, it was brownout. No electricity in the Island. Management should take care of the Generator. This is a beautiful place, there is a plan for more beautification of the resort per the owner Mr. Smith,Rich that I meet with his Filipino wife. They are very kind couple and the staffs were amazing. We booked 1 night because is very near to Enchanted River. There are so many Hidden beautiful beach resorts near by that traveler should check it out. This is not a 5 star hotel & please don't expect to much, you are in the small island surrounded with water, and no credit card, everything here is cash, but the rate for the money to stay here is affordable and worth it if you want an adventure. lastly, we have a free breakfast. In the future I would love to go back.Thank you so much guys and nice to meet you all!

We enjoyed our stay at Rock Island Resort. Short boat taxi ride to a little island paradise. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. Short distance boat taxi to the the Enchanted River. This resort was so relaxing and calm. Just what we needed. I would recommend to anyone needing a nice getaway and enjoy the beauty of the Philippines.

The property is an island so access is thru a banca that charge Php 200 per way. You park your car at the Barangay where a tanod will look after it (for a fee). The room is small, bed and mattress are uncomfortable, bathroom is small, has no hot shower, not even a place to hang your clothes, but with free basic toiletries. Aircon however is adequate, but electricity is unreliable. Free breakfast is OK with danggit (makunat), hotdog, egg, rice, coffee or Milo. Lunch or dinner however is quite pricey and not much choice of food. There are small floating outdoor cottages but the beach is uninviting and is full of sea weeds. The resort is near the Enchanted River and Sibadan Fish Cage for close encounter with Brenda the Manta ray. The American owner (a one-time basketball player) is unsociable. There were only a few guests, maybe because tourism is still opening up.

Nice place to stay, but disappointed some of the staff in restaurant not really must be friendly to the guest....

This Resort is super clean and the staff is friendly. But go for the peace and ocean views, sunrise, snorkling...so cool!

Liked the fish. Some of the food was good. The staff was terrible. Treated us poorly until the owner showed up and they were a little nicer. Staff charged us substantially more for meals then the owner. Same meal different price. Probably putting the extra in their pockets. Also staff was going to charge more for the boat rides and life jackets then what the actual charge was. The staff was not good. I had my fiancé and some her family go here for a few days for some relaxation. They weren’t expecting a lavishly fancy place. But it would have been nice for them to be treated good by a friendly staff. Probably won’t ever go here again. Going to try Britannia next time we visit Mindanao. I haven’t been to this area of the Philippines yet. But if my Filipino family wasn’t impressed I’m sure I wouldn’t be either.

The property’s location is beautiful and unique, built on a small island just a short boat ride away from the famous Enchanted River. It’s almost like staying on a ship or yacht, with a restaurant and long pier built over the coral reef extending from the island.
Great value for your money.
Rooms are simple and small. The bathroom has no toilet flush, and water needs to be poured into the toilet from a side bucket (Filipino style, that many international tourists find difficult to get used to). Anyhow, the purpose of this location is to spend time outside of the room.

I stayed here in March with my fiance and again last week.
It is a very beautiful hidden gem in the Orient and a bargain.
The fried garlic peanuts are wonderful as are the staff.
She had fish and I had curry chicken, amazing food
3.7
Great staff .. we had problems initially with our confirmed hotels.com reservation due to delayed communications from hotels.com to the resort that almost left us without a room, but the resort accommodated us graciously. Great small island rustic resort as long as one does not expect more than basic lodging facilities and amenities. Make sure to contact resort directly before you arrive to ensure your reservation and further instructions for getting there.

We did enjoy our stay. Food is ok and affordable. We enjoyed their service especially in assisting us for the island hopping tour. They are very accomodating especially when we request for glass and coke. Need improvement in the CR.

The best getaway place for the family

Food good and not pricey but misleading. A sign for Shakes CLEARLY says 60 PHP but inside the restaurant ANOTHER sign says 70 PHP.
Very nice manager, the ladyboy servers were so-so in the restaurant, actually rude to my lady.
They said breakfast was at 6:30 and not 6 am.
So she went to the buffet intended for the Muslim conference and got us a plate.
One morning we were not served coffee and eggs, they said they did not have any.
Yeah sure
The next day coffee and eggs were included.
This place despite restaurant issues was indeed amazing.
It takes a boat to get there from the enchanted river.
150 PHP about $3 USD
Island Hopping for 2 was 500 PHP.
I swam with a shark and Stingray for only 20 PHP (about 20 USA Cents!)
I cannot wait for the Zipline to come through.
I will be back because this place is magical, well kept and very beautiful!
3.7
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
3.7
The food was raw pork uncook nothing o pick from my husband doesn’t eat sea food. We left after two days. No balcony no tv no no running hot Water. The drain. Can smell sewer no WiFi enchanted river wasn’t impressive. The place is run down shack. They have long way to go to rebuild the resort no the sand bar wasn’t clean no room to swim. Weeds all around No activities. No private driver We want a full refund. We was trapped at the island lucky we found a driver who dropped us off the island he came and drove is six hours to suraiago city. Four hours from airport. 11,000 pax wAsted on transportation and time wasted at resort. It looks good on picture. When get there different. Story. When that island is rebuild it will be nice. Not worth four hours drive to see rock island and enchanted river. For Seeing fish s it has sting rays. Not really pleasant. Experience. When I make requests they laughing at us because we are deaf travelers. And I m am a Filipino. Not good adventurous time there

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.
3.7
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.
3.7
Reception staff is very helpful and nice ❤️ The place just need some updating but if u are not looking for anything fancy the place is good enough to relax and enjoy the view
3.7
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.

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.
