“Trust me, it's paradise. This is where the hungry come to feed. For mine is the generation that travels the globe and searches for something we haven't tried before..." Alex Garland, The Beach It's challenging to write a review about Noa Noa Island when others have done it more eloquently before me. This island is living proof that there are still places on this planet where you can truly connect. It's not just the island itself, but the perfect combination of all the elements on it. Owners Andy and Che, with their lovely approach, and the staff who take care of you 24/7, make the experience exceptional. The island's facilities are well-built, but the real gem is the coral reef surrounding it—a wonderful hidden treasure in Palawan. This isn't just because the coral has been here forever, but due to Andy's dedicated protection and daily treatment. He demonstrates not only preservation but enhancement, educating guests on coral care and collaborating with government officers to declare the area a protected zone with no fishing. Once you dive in, you won't want to leave the water. The diversity of corals is hard to match, with walls of giant corals displaying a million incredible colors. Even for experienced divers, this level of diversity is a rare find. The restaurant provides a wonderful culinary experience with a variety of creative and surprising meals every day. The kitchen staff, serving with love, and the amazing team behind the bar contribute to the overall delight. The spa, situated on the top of the hill, offers a tranquil atmosphere with only the sound of the sea. It's run by the kindest ladies who provide a wonderful massage experience. The rooms are cozy and comfortable, equipped with all necessary accessories, including air conditioning. We spent nearly a week on this island, and our only complaint is that we had to leave. However, we are confident that we will return soon. Michala and Brano, December 2023
