Talikud Island Vacation Packages

I booked the Floating Home in Reef Resort because I wanted to try something completely different, and that's exactly what I got. Being out on the water makes it unlike a normal hotel stay. The biggest issue is communication about arrival. It wasn't made clear beforehand that you have to take a barge to reach the resort, with an additional ₱1,000 charge. Luckily, I had a local Philippine phone, which made coordinating everything much easier. If you're a foreign traveler without a local number, I can see this being difficult and confusing. They need a better system for international guests and explain the transportation process before arrival. The property was only about a year old during my September 2026 stay, but some tents were already showing wear and small tears. The ocean environment will make maintenance a challenge, so I'd experience it while it's still new. The check-in area needs fans because it gets extremely hot in the morning. The staff, however, was absolutely amazing. The Wi-Fi was surprisingly good for being in the middle of the ocean. It's fine for everyday internet use, but I wouldn't depend on it for important calls or video meetings. Another surprise: NO mosquitoes! Being surrounded by water, I expected them everywhere, but I didn't encounter any. For the price, this is great value. Don't go expecting luxury go for something different, affordable, and memorable. Right now, it's definitely worth experiencing.

First up...the tricycle driver who picked up us brought us to the old and wrong spot for boat pickup. We finally called and said there will be a late fee of 700 per room cause we were not there at 2.00. We were there for 2 but was dropped off at wrong terminal. They did not want to hear about it neither and make it right. The property itself does not at all look like the pics u see online when there were newer. The aircons barely blow cold and the portable potty were quite nasty as well. We were in b2 and it was a ghost town and very hot. Litterly spent the night up cause of the temperature and both screen doors wide open. Cold water for showers as well. My wife told the assistant when we got there to get me around 10 Dan Miguel light beers. They bought back the wrong ones. Not to mention nothing to place then in to keep cold. To be honest I was glad when checkout came around. I will never stay at this property again and do not see them being in business long. But if u like hot rooms and pillows and hot beer. This place is for you.

I’m extremely disappointed with my reservation experience. The entire communication was stressful and disappointing.
