EL RIO Y MAR RESORT

Location, amazing staff!

Food choices

Everything was perfect. The property is very nicely designed. The stuff and all provided services were exceptional, including every small detail which made us feel very special, and warmly treated. Food and drinks were delicious.

There was simply nothing I would consider as I did not like. Perhaps more fresh catch fish on the menu would be nice to have.

We had an exceptional stay and genuinely loved every part of the experience. The location is fantastic - peaceful, scenic, and perfectly positioned by the water. Waking up to a room directly in front of the sea was unforgettable. The beach is beautiful, the pool area is well maintained and inviting, and the entire property feels thoughtfully designed. The diving was a true highlight of our stay. The nearby shipwreck was spectacular, the house reef was vibrant and full of life, and the dive masters were professional, friendly, and made every dive feel safe and enjoyable. The staff truly made the difference. From the warm welcome upon arrival, with a clear and helpful explanation of everything we needed to know, to the personal touches throughout our stay, the attention to detail was impressive. The team even knew we were heading out for diving the next day and proactively offered to prepare a packed lunch for us. That level of care does not go unnoticed. The food was excellent, with a good and varied menu that kept every meal interesting and enjoyable. Overall, a seamless, thoughtful, and genuinely warm experience. We would absolutely return.

While we truly appreciated the warmth and effort, the welcome and departure ceremonies with guitars and singing felt a bit overwhelming for our taste. It was more attention than we personally felt comfortable with. Similarly, the two guitarists during dinner are clearly talented and create a lovely atmosphere, but having them move from table to table to sing directly to guests felt unnecessary and slightly awkward. A more relaxed, background-style performance would have been more enjoyable for us.

Amazing resort, absolutely loved our stay here. We booked for our final 2 nights of Philippines trip, even though it rained all of the final day we enjoyed staying here to just chill out. The staff are so friendly, lovely beach, good food. Big clean room, hot powerful shower the best we had in 2 weeks. The booking included return transfers from airport.

The bed was a bit hard

From the warm welcome on arrival to the very nice send-off when we left we were treated like we were special guests! The food was very good and the menu selection allowed for enough variety for our 5 night stay. The staff were very attentive without being overpowering, always with a smile and happy to assist with anything we needed or wanted. The team at the dive shop were ready and waiting for us and prepared us well for our 2 days of diving. The dive staff were very helpful in getting us into and out of the water safely.

I would have liked to have another top blanket on my bed, but I'm sure that it would have been provided if I had asked, so it's nothing that your staff didn't do. Of course the shower took some time to warm, but we were warned in our orientation, so not a problem with this either. By the way, the young lady that did our orientation was fantastic. She covered so much and it was just as she said it would be. Great job!

Amazing place. Great stuff, nice location, corals, very good price quality. We would come back
