"We had a great time, amenities are nice. Price value is worth it. Bit of a challenge on the stairs but other than that experience was superb."

"I gave 5☆ for our exprience here."

"The Food, Views, Amenities, Entertainment, and Staffs was immaculate. It was not the planned resort, but was one of the better resorts that have fitted our budget. Highly recommended!"

"Dirty stain in the room, location not really convenience, lack of amenities."

"Very Small rooms, but had beautiful view of sea. Reaching Cilex from Batangas was a challenge. Took a tricycle motored auto from Batangas. Costed me 600 pesos one way. Safe place with good people around. Bfast in Cilex was good. No veg options. Managed with pancakes. The staff are super friendly. The property has good team to go for scuba and rates start from 3000 pesos. They give you free life jacket for snorkeling. Overall very good experience. "

"Can’t expect much with the money I paid for the room so you will meet to adjust your expectations. I found a hair stand in the mini bar. More hair strands in the shower head and drainage- that’s a deal breaker - gross!! They also don’t have water heater. Water pressure is so low at night. They also don’t give free WiFi in the room. Need to pay 100 per gadget. Free WiFi is only in the restaurant and in the reception Value for money for the room I paid for (P3300) I think it’s a good deal. Food is so so - nothing special. It’s quite pricey. Going to the resort is tricky - you get to park on top and a ride will take you down to the resort. But Get ready for this ride as it is like a roller coaster- I was scared as it was steepy with a zigzag road. Driver was fast and not cautious at all. So be warned! Staff were nice tho.. Going back? Nah.. I will pass."

"Food, especially the tiramisu and aligue pasta, is the best! The people are so nice and accommodating! Aaaand the parties are awesome. Their resident dj is pretty solid! The place itself is chill, clean, and relaxing. I would definitely go back!"

"Went there for Christmas and New Year. There weren't many people so it was just cozy and quiet. It was perfect for me because it has been a difficult year and this is just a brand new world full of warmth. It's basic resort with loads of human touch. However, if you are looking for party at the beach, you are not going to get that because there isn't even a beach to start with. This is my second time here. My first time was in April and there were more people at the resort. I guess it's the season because the dive sites looked richer in April. They were really beautiful. Had amazing dives with Dang in April, and decided to go back and do a rescue diver course with him this time around. He's really patient and went out of his way to make sure I grasp the basic water confidence before moving in the next part of the course. Had a few fun dives with the other instructor Jeff after the course. They were lovely dives and he offered some advice about my trip to a nearby island too. Did a few more dives with DM Jake later on. They were fun too. Overall, safety measures were good and the dives were nice and relaxing. If you are looking to have quality dives, great place to be. If you are just going on a beach holiday, and diving is just part of the activities that you can do, then this is not the place to be. Apart from the instructors and DM, the ground team at the dive centre was amazing. They know how to set up my gears exactly how I wanted them to be, especially Arvin. Their attention to details was just superb. I just felt really spoilt anytime of the day with the team upstairs. Justin and Zack always have my orders customised to my liking. Dave made sure I arrived safely at the resort even after he got off his shift. Macky was always making sure things go well for me. The security guy at night was more than security. He got my beer for me 🤣. Simple resort running well on its own, which I believe is due to the great leadership of Jon, the owner. And the best part is, they have great Internet connection. You don't really need to choose if you want good dives or stay connected. I wish they have hair dryer though but that's manageable. Overall, good stay, good dives, good holiday"

"Thanks Porto Novo, for the great experience. Superb place, people and food."
