8/10 Very good
24 Jun 2019
The property is one-of-a-kind. What it lacks in cleanliness and maintenance, it makes up for by the kindness of the staff. "Papa Jo" went well beyond the typical expectations for a host and did quite literally everything in his power to make sure that we had a good time. You want to go snorkeling? Jo will call his friend on a private island so that you can spend the morning there. Want to get to another beach? Jo will organize all the transportation himself. Aren't any ferry tickets left to return back to the mainland? Jo will accompany you on the two-hour Jeepney trip to the neighboring port to make sure that you can get back to the mainland. Our stay at Encenada Beach Resort was far from luxury, but it was one hell of an adventure and I would recommend it to anyone open to a truly unique Filipino experience.
