During my visit, I enjoyed breathtaking views and delicious food, but the resort is still undergoing renovations which made some parts feel unfinished. The location, perched on a cliff, offers a stunning ocean vista, though it can be slightly inconvenient to reach. The prices at the restaurant were on the higher side, but the quality of the meal made it worthwhile.

The resort offers breathtaking ocean views that are truly unmatched, especially while dining. While they're still in the process of renovations, the restaurant food is excellent and well-prepared. However, the access fee to dine here can feel a little odd, especially since the place is not fully completed yet. The ambiance is very relaxing, but I found the food to be on the pricey side for what it is.

I had an amazing experience at this resort in Bohol! The view from the restaurant is absolutely breathtaking, and the food is delicious, definitely worth the price for such a stunning backdrop. However, I did find the access fee a bit unusual since the property is still under construction. Overall, it’s a fantastic spot to unwind and enjoy great food.
