The Farm at San Benito, Autograph Collection

The most beautiful nature I’ve seen in any resort very relaxing place and it has lots of amenities that we enjoyed. The staff are very friendly approachable greeting the guest with a smile especially Ms Rona our Guest Ambassador she’s kind very helpful and cooperative and also Ms Catherine & Mr Randy at Pesce restaurant we enjoy the food and the Excellent service.

I’ve always wanted to book a stay here at The Farm. Luckily, I had the opportunity and time to take a vacation with my parents including my sister and niece. As an architect, I first noticed how they carefully master-planned the property and how well-designed the villas are. As a designer, I enjoyed how the layout/ circulation of our villa flows. As a balikbayan, I loved how they try to showcase Filipino ingenuity and hospitality. The Farm made me proud that I’m Filipino. Above all, I absolutely missed the warmth that our kababayans offer. I was happy that all of their staff are highly trained and professional. They all greet the guests with a warm welcome, a smile and hand gesture. They are all ready and willing to help as well. They also made my mom’s birthday extra special and memorable by greeting her (the receptionists/ guest ambassadors), making sure she gets to do the flower mandala activity (our guest ambassador, Maria, made it happen. Tysm, Maria!), including a small note (housekeeping) and even singing to her (waitstaff). Really just grateful for all of The Farm team… guest ambassadors, receptionists, custodians, buggy attendants, housekeeping, waitstaff etc. I just wished we could have stayed longer. Until next time, The Farm! You are an absolute gem. 🤍

We had such a beautiful weekend — a perfect mix of calm and joy. The atmosphere was solemn enough to feel grounding and reflective, yet there were moments of lighthearted fun that kept it warm and memorable. The staff is very friendly and very attentive to guest needs.

My husband & I stayed at The Farm at San Benito for six nights and had an absolutely incredible experience! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and cared for by some of the sweetest, warmest, and kindest staff we’ve ever met. They even gave us a thoughtful room upgrade, which made our stay extra special. The therapists and nurses at the Holistic Medical Centre were especially wonderful - so encouraging, gentle, and sweet, making every therapy comfortable and healing. The food was well curated, nourishing, and delicious, and the entire property radiates peace and serenity. Everything about The Farm was genuinely lovely, and we left feeling completely rejuvenated. It was a sanctuary of peace and renewal that we will always cherish.

With pleasantly designed architecture where delightful fauna—the waddling ducks, the roaming geese and peacocks, the melodic birds, even cute snails, etc.—have made it their home, as well as lush and verdant flora all around, The Farm is an incredible resort that blends picturesque nature and comfy modernity. This is a place where one could stay not only for leisure and relaxation but where one could also undertake certain health programs. Ms. Nikka and the Medical Team—who have assisted in my stay and program so that it was smooth and without worry—have been friendly and helpful. I underwent a Metabolic Reboot Program that would be imparting favorable, long-lasting effects on my health. I checked out from The Farm with a cleaner physicality as well as with more mental clarity that would allow me to reboot certain aspects of my life moving forward.

Love the serenity of the place.

Maria made sure we have everything that we needed. She checked on us regularly especially before meal times to ask if we need any assistance on restaurant reservations. The place was beautiful, too bad it was mostly raining during our visit. The villas were very clean and assistance, if needed, was quick to arrive. Some walkways/staircases need to be maintained more often as some parts are mossy which could be a slip hazard especially when the surface is wet.

If you’re expecting luxury, good service, and good coffee for the price you’re paying, prepare to be disappointed. The place is okay, but starting from reception, you won’t feel welcome. Nobody greets you. You just have to look around and guess which desk to approach for check-in. Don’t expect welcome drinks either, unlike those you see vloggers receiving on TikTok. We are a family of five and stayed in the Master Pool Villa. It’s old, run-down, and could be cleaner. There’s no shower heater but it’s complete with kitchen amenities. We tried to book the Flower Meditation-fully booked. We tried to book the Family Acqua Wellness-fully booked. We tried to book the Sound Healing- no sound healer. These are understandable since the resort was on full capacity. Room service massage was okay. For dinner, we went to their French restaurant. Again, we were welcomed with the same lost feeling at the reception, had to stand and walk around to ask a waiter who could assist us with seating. We were informed the food would take 15–20 minutes because they were full, but it felt closer to an hour before it arrived. We were famished by then. Portions were small, so we had to order another round, which thankfully came faster. The rib-eye steak wasn’t premium, but it was good. They didn’t have sparkling water. We loved the piano music and live singing. My son joined the morning yoga and tried the flotation pod, he said both were good and relaxing. Breakfast was at their pescatarian restaurant. Not much food choice, lots of flies, and very noisy waiters. The staff at the bar were chatting loudly in “kanto” style. I wanted to call them out but didn’t want to ruin my morning. So much for a no-noise establishment. They didn’t have hot coffee options except Americano; everything else was iced. Overall, it’s a “good” escape from the bustle of the city. Just manage your expectations and you’ll be okay. Not going back, though.

It is always a wonderful experience coming to The Farm at San Benito. This time, I brought my whole family along (with 3 kids aged 13, 9, and 5). One night is definitely not enough, I can tell you that! We stayed at the Mahogany 55, a beautiful 2-story, 2-bedroom house with a private pool. It was fully equipped with a kitchen and even had a nanny’s room complete with a comfortable bed, bathroom, and toiletries. The kids love the villa. There were a lot of places or nooks for them to play. But the pool was their favorite. My husband’s and my favorite was the bed, their pillows and the sheets. They are super comfortable. Expect to have a good night sleep. For meals, we dined at Pesce, their pescatarian restaurant. As always, we ordered our favorites: Crispy Tuna Tail and Grilled Squid. We were a bit sad, though, to see that they had taken out the Mentaiko Fried Rice from the menu since it was one of our top picks. Still, because we were celebrating a milestone, they surprised us with a complimentary Coconut Vanilla Cake, which was such a thoughtful touch. After dinner, the kids wanted to relax in the villa, so my husband and I enjoyed a massage at the spa. It was absolutely the best. I tried the Liver Care Treatment, which included: • A body scrub with coffee grounds, green tea, and coconut oil • A bath soak with the same ingredients • A 60-minute full body massage My husband opted for the Coffee Scrub and a 90-minute full body massage, which he also loved. Note that their spa doesn’t allow pets and kids. If you’re planning a visit, I recommend checking their website for ongoing promos and discounts, as both rooms and treatments go on sale. And before you go, it’s also helpful to download their app, it makes navigating the facilities so much easier. Overall, another memorable stay at The Farm. We’ll definitely be back!
