Great view and sunset. Public road a bit too rough to get to resort. Recommend at least 2 night stay which was perfect with full day island tour and snorkelling at resort. Fair food prices and nice meals!
Staff was 100% and treated us like family for our 5 day stay. Nice snorkeling and diving from the resort staircase. Meals were great and included complimentary breakfast.
Overall excellent stay
A one of a jind property and location. Great villas and overall layout. Very quiet and a little isolated but thats part of its charm. Great for couples.
The food, every meal, was amazing!! The staff went out of their way to give us a level of service I have not seen in years. The owner was present, friendly, and made sure we were happy. The property is amazing and the sunsets nemorable. Will DEFINETLY stay here again!!!
I highly recommend this place if one is looking for a serene place to relax and unwind. The stairs leading to the beach is an allure of the property. The staff are friendly, attentive and helpful. We enjoyed ourselves without having to worry about rowdy crowds and loud patrons.
Great resort that sits on top of a cliff with beautiful rock formations below that are accessible by stairs. The ocean view from the resort and the cottages is incredible. I need to also commend the staff who are all polite, knowledgeable, pleasant and competent. The restaurant food is Western-quality. I highly recommend this resort.
I considered a resort that isn't easily accessible to enjoy less crowds and this was it . Please do research regarding location and ease of transportation when in this area . No public transportation in this island ie taxi , jeepney or bus .These should be helpful to know. The staff was excellent.
It was a pleasure to be at the KHR. The service staff was allways freandly and really customer-oriented. Every evening a diffetent menu board with 3 options. The meals were like to be in a 5 star hotel in europe. Alcoholic drinks allways available & inviting to drink one more.
If youd like a calm romantic experience with beautiful veiws and sunsets, look no further. The villas are lovely, staff are friendly and provide you a lovely experience, I Iooked at the negative reviews made by some walk in guests and cant imagine this to be true. The owner and staff take great pride in this piece of heaven, looks like faulty customer, not staff.
I would highly recommend.
We had an amazing stay. The staff was so helpful and sweet. The food was delicious, and the rooms were even better than in the pictures. The view was stunning, and the sunsets were incredibly beautiful. The only downside was that many tourists came to take pictures of the view from morning till evening. Our room was nearby, so people often took pictures in front of it and were quite loud, which forced us to keep the curtains closed, so we couldn’t fully enjoy the view from our room. The resort is a bit far from the center, but you can book a scooter through the hotel to get around the island. Overall, it was fantastic, and we will definitely come back.
While I do not particularly like Kawayan's check-in procedures, everything else was pleasurable. The staff were polite, helpful and accommodating. The entire property was clean, secure, serene and offers a wonderful view of the ocean. I was glad we didn't have to request cleaning of our villa. Their housekeeping attendants do this every single day. Food tasted good, too. I love how they receive guests with a welcome drink, cold towel and a complimentary water tumbler. And because we need to check out early to catch the 820am ferry to Bohol, I highly appreciated that sandwiches were offered instead of the usual breakfast. I was even happier to receive these in insulated sandwich bags, yay! It was certainly worth coming back. Thank you, Kawayan Holiday Resort!
We had an ocean view unit and it was beautiful. Our daughter also had an ocean view unit and loved it. The staff were absolutely wonderful. My wife usually likes to have an "more active" holiday but was very content here. We all had massages and pedi or manicures. The food was excellent. Although our daughter found the diving was excellent the snorkeling did not meet our expectations but I was very impressed to see a black-banded sea snake for the first time.

The staff and rooms are okay. However the other guest was so rude and inconsiderate more of entitled like they booked the whole place.
If you’re looking for a peaceful and quiet stay, I recommend this hotel with stunning cliff / ocean views. The luxury villa was so worth it. The staff is friendly & the place is clean. I felt so welcomed and truly loved our stay! It is farther away (30 mins) from the main town with restaurants & bars, but we didn’t mind at all.
