Delicious Local Cuisine

“During my stay, I had the pleasure of trying various dishes, and I must say, the Pork Sinigang was my favorite! The meals were generously portioned, often enough for 2-3 people, and prepared fresh. Although breakfast selections were quite simple, I enjoyed the option of pancakes and toast with scrambled eggs, served in a beautiful setting surrounded by nature.” view full review

I had a wonderful time at the resort, which was nestled away from the usual hustle and bustle. The clean and comfortable rooms offered stunning views, and there was a relaxing atmosphere throughout. The dining experience was quite nice, though the beach wasn't as appealing as I'd hoped. The pool was well maintained, but getting around the property involved quite a few steps, which might be a challenge for some. Overall, it's great value for a peaceful retreat.

My stay at the resort was quite mixed. While I appreciated the clean and cozy room, the overall experience left a lot to be desired, especially with the rude welcome and the confusing dining situation. The location was peaceful, but it felt too remote for my taste. The pool could use some serious attention to make it more inviting.

The resort is located in a peaceful area, but it's a bit of a trek to reach and feels quite removed from any vibrant beach atmosphere.

The pool looked unappealing, which was disappointing since it could have been a nice feature of the resort. More care is needed here.

I had a lovely time at Villa de Pico, nestled in a peaceful area that's just a short tricycle ride from Puerto Galera. The bamboo condos offered beautiful sea views and a refreshing breeze, so air conditioning wasn't necessary. While the beach wasn't ideal, with mostly rocky terrain, the clean pool provided a nice alternative. The service was great, with friendly staff eager to assist. Be aware of the numerous steps on the property, which might be a challenge for some. Overall, it was a great value for a relaxing getaway.

I enjoyed a relaxing weekend at Villa de Pico beach, which is nestled in a tranquil spot away from the hustle and bustle of Manila. The bamboo condo was charming and comfortable, and the Australian owner along with the staff were incredibly helpful. The only downsides were the rocky beach and some cleanliness issues with the pool. However, the reasonable prices for tours and the lovely sea views made up for it.

I had an amazing two-night stay at Villa de Pico. The breathtaking view from my room truly made the experience unforgettable. The delicious BBQ chicken and clean pool added to the charm of this peaceful retreat. However, the rocky beach might not appeal to everyone, and navigating all the steps can be a bit tiring. Overall, it's a lovely place for a romantic getaway.
