This is an amazing place! Opening the door and seeing the sea right there, the staff couldn’t be nicer, friendlier and Annie at the reception is an angel! Very interesting tour of the pearl farm, great food, fantastic massages, truly loved our stay. The only thing … I wished the bed was softer but everything else was just wonderful!

The staff and managers welcome at the shore of this beautiful island resort was only the beginning of our wonderful stay. You are treated as royalty it seems. Everything was impeccably clean and cared for here and the staff immediately act up on anything you may want or need to know. The variety of healthy food is wonderful and the servers wait out of the way focusing on you anticipating any need you might want or need. We plan on returning.

Loved the resort. It was like paradise. It’s a little far to get to, however fully worth it. The coral reef are beautiful just off the beach in front of the resort. There is a nice path around the island that take about 40min walk and if lucky see some monitor lizards of up to 1.5meters. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They go out of their way to accommodate you. The view from the lighthouse is spectacular.

Happy and relaxing getaway
I spent 4 nights here on my honeymoon and it was exceptional. I paid for a budget room that only had a view of the trees thinking we would spend most of our time outside which was mostly true. If I were to go back I would splurge and get a room with a hammock on the beach because it looked so relaxing. The food was great and plentiful and since we’re both vegetarians they went out of their way to make special dishes just for us. We always left full and happy. The island is just a stunning relaxing paradise. There a some water sports to do but just hanging out by the beach or the beachside bar was plenty enjoyment for us. The staff couldn’t be friendlier and go out of their way to make our stay enjoyable even during a typhoon and over Christmas when you know they were away from their families. As a gay coupled we felt very welcomed as well. I would highly recommend if you’re looking for somewhere secluded, private, and away from life.

Extremely limited and unimaginative choices for buffet meals. Hot food always cold by the time it was brought out from the kitchen. Wifi unavailable in the evenings. No water or coffee/tea making facilities in the room and the expectation was that you buy water outside of meal times. Dinner started late, at 7.30pm or later. While breakfast theoretically started at 7am, it was rarely available until 7.45am or later. Staff were very slow to clear away rubbish from tables in the bar area, sometimes leaving it overnight. The killer for us was the exorbitant $US150 return boat fee from Tay Tay, on the mainland. At night, lights along the path to the huts were broken, making it unsafe to walk. While the views from the beach were lovely, the customer service at this resort was very poor and we were pleased to leave, especially after sorting out the bill, where we were double-charged for massages.

An absolute paradise! One of the most unforgettable places I've ever visited. From the second you board the one hour boat, the beauty of the many island reveal themselves. The friendly staff greet you with a smile, respect and thoughtfulness. The excellent welcome and service continues throughout your stay. The food is delicious. The the white sand beach, the clear waters filled with millions of gorgeous creatures, the impressive lighthouse, the breathtaking views from the top of the island, the service... OUTSTANDING! Cherry on the top is the gold pearl farm exploration and the visit to the local preservation center. If you are looking for an opportunity to escape this world, to reconnect with yourself, your friends, your significant other, and your children... This is a Robinson Crusoe experience that's worth exploring.

Poor Food and transfers very expensive Be Aware
So you would think being on a tropical island with great facilities you would have great food eating fresh seafood and tropical fruits right? Wrong. Boring buffet every night and apart from non fresh mussels no fresh seafood. I mean there is an abundance of seafood out your front door! No mango or pineapple most days. Not vegetarian friendly. Transfers...you would expect getting transferred from the mainland to the only resort on its own island would be included...no apparently you are supposed to swim the 40min boat ride? Expect to pay up to 16000 pesos to get from el nido town to flower island and get quoted different price daily! Many services offered/advertised are 'unavailable'

Stunning experience supported by great staff
Loved staying at flower island. The staff was wonderful and accommodating. The food was very good - especially the picnic! Snorkeling was amazing and easy. One of our group saw an octupus. And learning about the conservation efforts and cultured gold pearls gave me hope for rehabilitating and preserving coral reefs. Highly recommend staying on this amazing island.

Tropical paradise
The hotel is in a tropical paradise island. Beach front rustic cottages with amaizing sea view. You get the feeling that you have an island for yourself. We stayed in the champagne (fan) cottages and they are good. However since they are rustic we were visited at night by couple of big lizards and something else (some sort of racoon) that ate some cookies and peanuts, so make sure you put any food inside your bags at night. However they are harmless animals and part of the tropical fauna, so relax... The island is a mountain with a light house at the top, 15 minutes walk up the hill and you have an amazing panoramic view of surrounding islands. Great coral reef right next to the beach where you an see colorful fish, rays, and if you are lucky like us, big tortules. Meals are served as buffet but with few choices, however very tasty and you will have enough to please your hunger. Free snorkeling and kajaks, and also a free trip to a pearl farm with stop a in a deserted beach, absolutely beautiful. They offer a private boat trip from Taytay, for 80 euros round trip per person, a bit expensive for what you normaly pay in Philippines, but convenient. Bar in front of the beach with delicious mango shakes. 1 hour massage for 15 euros, highly recommended. Very friendly staff. Will definately come back!

Great
Atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. A great escape from big busy beach hotels and from the chaos of the Philippines in general. Helpful, well-mannered, friendly staff. Interesting setting and easy access to diving from the beach. The beach and cabins face West making for great sunset views. Pearl Farm is interesting too. The cabin is basic, but comfortable. No hot water, but the water is not cold either. This is a beach experience with benefits, including diving, snorkeling, and hiking possibilities. The massage was a great added comfort. Will be returning!

Awesome stay
We were pleasantly surprised when we got off the boat by what we saw. This resort in the middle of other islands. Hardly anyone there. Staff was awesome. Sorry we did not book longer as we had other bookings. Be aware, this is as primitive as a hotel should be. No hot showers, very little electrical power, and some cottages with fans only. We loved it, except for the mosquitoes and a loud pesky gecko in our cottage. Otherwise, loved it.

sehr freundliche und persönliche Begrüßung bei Ankunft des Bootes am Strand mit Cocktail , die große Aufmerksamkeit der Angestellten gegenüber den Wünschen der Gäste bleibt während des ganzen Aufenthaltes bestehen. Sie bemühen sich sehr. Wunderschöne Insel mit Robinson Crusoe Feeling, traumhaftem Sandstrand, Schildkröten und einem kleinen, schönen und intakten Hausriff mit bunten Fischen und Korallen. Ruhe, weil die Unterkünfte weitläufig angelegt sind und die Gäste sich so gegenseitig kaum stören. Die Unterkünfte sind einfach, aber sauber und liegen idyllisch am Meer - mit Wellenrauschen. Mit Mitbewohner ist allerdings zu rechnen. Das Buffet im offenen Restaurant ist köstlich...der Abschied ist wieder sehr persönlich, aber man möchte gar nicht weg...

It was just one night but this was a wonderful time for me and my wife. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and the staff was very helpful. Food was very good and the location is amazing. Our only regret is that we were there for only 1 night. A small remark: Given the price of the room, transportation to the hotel should not be this expensive.

Le tour de l'ile est facilement accessible par un chemin cédé, le paysage est magnifique. On peut également monter à la tour ou la vue à 360° est a couper le souffle.

我十分愿意为大家推荐花岛!
去花岛度假村要经历一段漫长的路程，从公主港到泰泰码头要4小时的车程，然后还要坐1小时左右的船才能去到花岛，交通费毕竟昂贵，车船费（包车费约6500P，船费4000P）用都要自己负担。但是上岛之后您会觉得物有所值，舒适的客房，虽然并不豪华。十分适合浮潜，海水清澈见底、五颜六色的活珊瑚、各种各样的鱼类，还能看见令人惊讶的鱼风暴和令人惊喜万分的海龟，绝对让你的假期不失此行。还有就是岛上的日落和夜晚的星空实在太美了！岛上的菜式几乎每天都不同，简单的自助餐，不是很出色，但足以满足大家的需求。不得不提的是岛上的所有工作人员，他们非常非常热情，总是想尽一切办法满足客人的需求，总是带着真心真意的微笑和问候，细致周到的服务，令人宾至如归！在您乘船离开的时候，即使开了很远很远，还能看见她们在海边为您欢歌载舞送行，感动！我在岛上度过了愉快而舒适的三晚！谢谢花岛！

beaucoup de goût et de charme dans la déco des bungalows sur la plage et des parties communes,matériaux locaux, statues ,joli mobilier sculpté. l'ile est tranquille,parfaite pour la baignade,sable et cocotiers,le jardin de corail est par contre un peu décevant. On peut faire le tour de l'ile à pied,monter au phare où sont installées à chaque étage des chambres toutes simples avec un lit sculpté et vue panoramique,très romantiques,salle de bains et jacuzzi en bas.Repas buffets très corrects. Le gros bémol est le prix du transfert,soit environ 80 euros depuis Taytay,soit environ 110 pour El Nido (bateau +taxi ).Nous avons partagé le prix au retour avec un autre couple.Il est vrai que l'ile est assez éloignée,mais pour notre hotel précédent assez éloigné aussi (Modessa, moins luxueux, mais très bien)le transfert était gratuit alors que le prix était la moitié Il y a aussi une jolie mini presqu'ile à coté de la plage mais impossible d'y aller,plein de fourmis agressives. ceci dit le séjour est très agréable et nous ne regrettons pas d'y être allés

まさにコマーシャルに出てくる孤島のホテル！
８月に５泊、家族３人で宿泊しました。他の宿泊客おらず、我々だけだったのでまさに王様気分で過ごせました、雨季にもかかわらず、雨は夜か早朝に降っただけで、日中の活動に問題はありませんでした。予約したのはエアコンなしのGolden Cottageでしたが、夜は浜風のおかげか蚊が全く来なかったので問題ありませんでした。カラッとして気候のため、エアコンも必要ありませんでした。部屋も隙間だらけで風通し最高ですし（笑 部屋の目の前が非常に美しいビーチ、その先の水平線に沈む夕日は最高！夜の星空も恐ろしいくらいに美しい。 島は小さくて、歩いて一周しても１時間かかりません。カヌーで一周しても同じ。山に登ると塔があります。それに登ると島の外海が３６０度一望でき、綺麗なのと高いのとでクラクラします！塔では宿泊もできて（無料）そこで夜空を見上げたら天然のプラネタリウムですね！希望すれば最寄の真珠養殖場と農業試験場とサンゴビーチでのシュノーケリングの”ピクニック”に船で連れて行ってくれます。養殖場などは英語でまじめにいろいろ説明してくれます。英会話がある程度できないとつらいことになります。ただしサンゴビーチでのシュノーケリングはとっても良いです！ 島には海イグアナ？のようなトカゲや小さなサメもいます。（人間が近づいたら超高速で逃げていきます） 小さな島なのに水道の水は潤沢に使えました。Golden Cottageはお湯は出ません。ランクを上げると温水器が付いています。ＴＶが無いので、朝日と共に起き、夕食を食べたら寝る。こんなにぐっすり寝たのは何年振りでしょうか。 とにかく、これぞ「孤島の休日」だったと思います。また来たいと思わせる数少ない場所でした。 どうやら日本人はほとんど行った事が無いようでしたので、ぜひ皆さんもいかがでしょうか。 現地は最高なのですが、予約関係でちょっと注意点があるので書いておきます。 ホームページの説明が不十分なため、ホテルまでどうやってたどり着けばよいのか良くわかりません。エクスペディアで飛行機とホテルだけとってもたどり着けません。プエルトプリンセサから直行する人はバンでＴａｙＴａｙまで行って（約４時間）、トライシクルで港まで行って、そこからスピードボートに乗ります。バンは空港近辺で拾えますが、スピードボートはホテル経由で予約しておかないといけません。（メールで可能だが、アドレスが書いていない。親会社のホームページからやっとたどれた） しかも私の場合はエルニドタウンで過ごしてから行ったので、Batakalan Pier（Batacalan Pier ?）という港から乗ったのですが（そのルートでも行けると説明された）、その港の場所をエルニドの誰も知りませんでした。。。 港までのバンもホテル経由で予約しておいたほうが良かったです。 エルニドから行く人は要注意です。まぁそれも楽しい思い出ですが（笑
