My stay at Bluewater Sumilon Island was truly exceptional! The breathtaking views and clear waters made it a perfect getaway from city life. The service was great, especially with staff who went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. However, the presence of many day visitors made it feel a bit crowded at times, which affected the privacy we expected as villa guests.

Our villa was spacious and comfortable, with a nice bathtub and an excellent Wi-Fi signal. However, we had issues with bugs getting in at night and inconsistent power supply.

The location on the island is stunning, really close to the beach and surrounded by beautiful coral gardens. I enjoyed exploring the area and snorkeling, though be cautious of strong currents in some spots.

The food at the Pavilion restaurant was delicious but a bit stifling due to lack of proper ventilation. I enjoyed trying local dishes, although some flavors were not to my liking.

Facilities

While the beach and facilities were nice, many amenities seemed outdated and could use some cleaning, especially the pools. This was a bit of a downside for an otherwise beautiful setting.

I had an amazing experience on Sumilon Island, with its stunning beaches and breathtaking views. The accommodations were spacious and offered great wifi, but the complimentary toiletries could use some improvement. The buffet dining was delightful, particularly the clam chowder and grilled fish, but the lunch options were a mixed bag. While the location is perfect for beach-goers and adventurers alike, the amenities could be enhanced to better serve the guests.

Bluewater Sumilon is a stunning boutique resort with a peaceful atmosphere and breathtaking surroundings including turquoise waters and beautiful scenery. We enjoyed the Marine Sanctuary and the mountain biking, but it was a bit annoying having day tour guests using the facilities meant for in-house guests, especially for the price we were paying. Despite being on the pricier side, we found it worthwhile and are planning to return!

While the dining menu was decent, it leaned heavily towards meat options and could use more variety, especially for lunch.
