Hotel magnifique, dans un cadre idyllique. Le seul reproche que l'on peut faire : la plage est très belle et avec du sable mais dans l'eau ce n'est que des cailloux et des coraux, impossible de se baigner pied nu. De plus, la plage est très tôt à l'ombre, dès 16h00 plus de soleil au mois de mars.

I wanted to share a few suggestions that may help enhance the overall experience for guests, especially those staying for multiple nights or who prefer non-water activities. While island hopping and hiking are wonderful offerings, incorporating additional on-site and land-based experiences can provide more variety and engagement. Some recommendations include: Non-Water On-Site Activities: • Pool Table / Billiards – Great for indoor entertainment during the evenings or rainy days. • Board Games & Card Sets – Readily available in the common lounge or for borrowing. • Foosball, Air Hockey, or Darts • Mini Library or Book Exchange Corner • Outdoor Movie Nights – Weekly or bi-weekly events can be a nice touch. • Local Cooking Classes or Cultural Demonstrations – Allow guests to immerse themselves in the local lifestyle. • Live Acoustic Music Nights – Especially during weekends or peak seasons. Land Tour Suggestions: • Cultural Village Visits – Showcase the local way of life, crafts, and traditions. • Farm or Garden Tours – If applicable, offer a chance to learn about local agriculture or herbal plants. • Scenic ATV or E-bike Rides – Explore nearby hills, forests, or viewpoints. • Sunset Viewing Spots – Organize land trips to the best sunset spots with refreshments. • Local Food Tours – Partner with nearby eateries or markets to offer guided tasting experiences. Adding even just a few of these could make a big difference in keeping guests entertained, especially dur

A True Island Paradise – But the Incredible Staff

Our stay at Cauayan Island Resort was beyond five stars. The secluded, pristine location offered breathtaking views, making it a true island paradise. The all-inclusive dining exceeded expectations, with fresh, creative dishes and impeccable service, especially from Karl at the restaurant. What truly sets this resort apart is the incredible staff. Mac, the manager, went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect, even assisting with extending our visit and rearranging flights. The front desk team, Krem and Joy, were always welcoming and helpful. A special mention to Ernil and Oden from the boat crew, who made our excursion unforgettable. The spa services were exceptional, providing a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. Every aspect of our stay exceeded our high expectations. We can’t wait to return to this paradise.

Amazing stay

We had an amazing time at the Cauayan. We loved everything about it, the setting, the outstanding level of service, the nature surrounding it, the privacy. I particularly loved seeing turtles and baby sharks while snorkelling on the beach. We had two wonderful day trips to the nearby attractions and beauty spots and did some diving. Jeremiah deserves a special mention for making our trips even more enjoyable. We rarely go back to the same place, but the Cauayan might just become an exception.
