I had high expectations for this resort, and while it had some beautiful aspects, my overall experience was quite disappointing. The room was unfortunately not as comfortable as it should have been, with issues like ants and poor air conditioning. Although the location was nice and the beach was beautiful, there were too many distractions that took away from the tranquility I was seeking.

I had high hopes for this resort, especially after wanting to treat my girlfriend to some luxury, but our experience fell short. The location is decent by a public beach, and while the facilities looked promising, the service was disappointing and the dining options too pricey for the quality offered. We will definitely look elsewhere next time.

Our stay at Padre Burgos Castle Resort had its ups and downs. The location is stunning, right next to a secluded beach perfect for snorkeling, and the cozy atmosphere of the resort made it feel special. While the service was exceptional and personalized, the dining experience didn't quite meet our expectations. Despite some challenges with the facilities, we thoroughly enjoyed our time, especially swimming with the whale sharks.

The facilities were a mix; the pool was out of operation for two days which was disappointing, but snorkeling right by the resort was a fantastic highlight.

This resort is a true hidden gem for a peaceful getaway. The location is great for exploring the surrounding marine life, and the staff provides incredible service. However, the bedding in the room left something to be desired, as it was quite hard. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I’d definitely return despite the mattress issue.

5.0/10

I had mixed feelings about my stay at this resort. On one hand, the surroundings are beautiful and peaceful, perfect for solitude seekers. On the other hand, the lack of dining options and the overall cleanliness, especially in the rooms, left much to be desired. The atmosphere felt more like a ghost town rather than a vibrant diving resort. If you're looking for a quiet getaway, this might suit you, but be cautious about the cancellation policy and pricing.

Rooms
