Amazing stay at Cauayan, absolutely paradise. The beachfront villas are stunning, looking out onto the bay with private sunbeds to relax on and just a short walk from the spa, bar & restaurant. The tours offered are wide ranging and give you a great chance to see the e surrounding islands and lagoons, and the scuba diving is excellent, clear, warm water with lots of fish & corals. The food and drinks are great but the real showcase are the staff, all of whom are there to cater to whatever you need. Special thanks from us go to Red (excellent coffees!), KC, KL, Alwin, Kel, Pearl, Norihen & Jeremiah, but everyone has been brilliant. We’re been so well looked after we don’t want to leave! Thanks to everyone for making our stay so special.

The staff was amazing, always friendly and helpful. The villas were very enjoyable. We loved our two bedroom villa with private pool. The restaurant had a good variety of options. Make sure to book tours and spa treatments. We were lucky to get them in but should have checked ahead of time. The resort is very relaxing.
