    Butanding!!!!!! That's what Donsol is for.

    Butanding!!!!!! That's what Donsol is for. Oh for peace of mind at a beach resort too. But once you land you will be tempted to go for the whale shark viewing. When I say viewing, please remember that the best viewing is when you jump into the sea and not from the comfort of the boat. Even if you don't know how to swim, worry not they will give you snorkelling masks, life jacket and flippers. So you can jump into the open sea and earn bragging rights. Seeing these gentle giants is a privilege. Be sure you will be well taken care of by your Butanding Interaction Officer - who will accompany your group of 6 in a boat, and if you are in the water and are panicking, he will be your life-guard too and pluck you out and bring you back to the safety of the boat. Close to Donsol is the volcano Mt Mayon. Its so huge that when you go for your Butanding, while the spotter search for the elusive whale sharks, you can marvel at Mount Mayon rising up from the hinterland beyond. In fact the volcano in the background makes for an awesome pic on a clear day. However, I request Booking.com to try and sign up other resorts in Donsol also. I saw at least two other resorts which the Booking.com members should have as an option when they are planning their trip. One had better maintained rooms and the other had better food.

    The property is located exceptionally well on top of a hill of an island, hence only accessible by boat It is beautiful appointed in a European style The views from the property are amazing- and it is so quiet But the highlight must be the staff who took care of me incredibly well, nothing was too much; and the meals cooked by Chris were all delicious I have stayed in many 5 star Hotels around the world, but this is certainly something very special Thank you Chris and Team for an unforgettable experience

    This was a lovely calm little place to stay in Donsol. Our host was very helpful, understanding when we got back late from the whale shark tour and had to pick up our bags. He put us in touch with a lovely lady called Welcy who was so helpful at arranging our whale shark tour (we saw 3!). There was a little shared outdoor shower that suited us well. It was a short walk into the sort of 'town' area of Legazpi and a nice homemade pizza place called Lola King.

    We were looked after so well here. The staff are so attentive and friendly; ensuring our stay was always comfortable and enjoyable. the beds were really comfortable and the rooms nice and air conditioned. Roberto was so lovely and helped make Donsol one of our favourite places we travelled in the Philippines in over 6 weeks. The food and drink in the restaurant is unreal as well!

    The common area is well maintained. The pool area is nice, the pool is large, and right in the seafront. Staff is great and helping. I liked that they have their own vegetable garden. I liked that all rooms have a balcony, very helpful to dry your diving/snorkeling gear. The hotel is very well located, right next to the departure area for the whale shark interaction.

    I appreciated the hospitality here from the moment we checked in to when we left. There's a restaurant on the premise that we dined at a couple of times, and one of the decent options in town. The owner helped us arrange a tuk-tuk for a good price back to the airport when we left. A central location between the main parts of Donsol and the whale shark center.

    Merilyn was a really nice host, who gave a lot of insights about Donsol. She rents fins for the Butanding Interaction, which are free, if one does not see the gentle giants, which is a really nice offer.
