Super disappointing. Didn't deliver on promise
The website gives an inaccurate impression of the island. On the positive side, the staff were very friendly and helpful. On the negative side, I had to pay 3,500 PSP to get the boat from the mainland to the island. We had already arranged for a driver from the hotel to pick us up and get us to the mainland dock, but he didn't connect with the 2pm ferry, so we were left waiting until 4pm or pay. The whole island is infected with ants. They are everywhere, in the bathroom, the bedroom, the resturant. We paid for breakfast and dinner buffets. Neither were a buffet. Both were a very limited ala carte menu, and some of the items they had run out of. Beach is crushed coral, not sand. The hotel closed with 1 day to go on our booking due to Hurricane Kristine and made all the guests leave at 9am. This was a gross over reaction and I think was more of a commercial decision than a safety decision as there were few guests and probably not enough to make it profitable.

Very nice relaxing place to visit. Some of the most crystal clear and beautiful waters in the Philippines. Very nice infinity pool. Great snorkeling all around the island. Also decent hiking trail. Rooms are really nice, great views and very comfortable. A bit expensive but well worth it.

I didnt get offer with the membership! Also you cant really enjoy the island if you arrive later in the day because you have to leave to ride the last trip of the boat which is 4:30 pm. I think they should have A later boat too for the people who arrive late for the 2500 charge day tour!

It’s a small piece of paradise! Really liked the infinity pool facing the sea, with a tree in the middle. It’s really peaceful. Staff is great also. A few mishaps with the transportation back and forth. Just set the rate and apply it consistently.

Romantic Sumilon Long Weekender Trip
Had a weekend romantic get away in Bluewater Sumilon. Got a premiere room with beds facing the sea. Beautiful and spacious room with a swing and table outside. Lots of activites to do like trekking, kayak and biking. Had fun doing the bike trail. Food is delicious and worth the spend. I especially love the sand bar and infinity pool. Will definitely book and stay longer on the next visit.

The hotel is quite a ways from the airport, approximately 3.5 hours. We opted to hire a driver for the day to take us to the hotel because we wanted to stop at many places along the way. The price was the same as what the hotel charges to take you there in the shuttle so the extra flexibility was nice. The hotel is a quaint group of bungalows in a extremely wonderful setting. There are massive coral mounds just outside the shallow waters of the hotel. The hotel lives up to its name with beautiful blue water everywhere around. The food was good. There were many things to do on the island. I would recommend this place to anyone although by Philippine standards it is somewhat expensive. From the hotel we did the swimming with sharks and two waterfall excursions. Lunch at the hotel is not free so we took the ferry across to the mainland every day and ate at the Choobi Choobi bar, which has a great atmosphere and a wonderful ocean view. I would recommend this hotel in the area to anybody, however you don’t wanna stay too many nights because you will eventually run out of things to do in the area. I stayed five nights and was very happy with that
