Lovely little place. Very small so if you’re looking for a big hotel with lots of facilities it won’t be for you. But the room was great, big, good air con, comfortable bed etc. and very nice people, reasonably priced food and drink etc. overall for the price I was very much surprised on the upside and would definitely recommend. However some rooms are quite small so I’d recommend paying a tiny bit extra for one of the bigger rooms if they’re available. We had room 10 and it was lovely.

The staff were very friendly and the room was clean. The Breakfast was also very good. However I was disappointed by the lack of evening guest related activities. The Resort could really benefit from a Beach based nightly BBQ for guests. And the Hot Tub next to the Pool was always Cold. Which I later discovered was due to them not having a Heater for it. If they address these two concerns the Resort would get 5 stars all round from me.

Amazing place
When arrived the checkin was very fast and efficient. Place was very well groomed and super clean. Rooms were amazing...even aircon already on so nice fresh and cool inside. Staff was always smiling and eager to help. Food was excellent. No problems at all. Only thing was internet was shorty in the room. Great in the lounge. Beautiful place, one of the nicest to this day I have been. Thanks

Nice and clean place, being small makes it cozy. Very well maintained. Only problem is food can be better, Overall it is not bad food but can be improved. I guess part of problem Philippines doesn’t have many kind of veggies, that reflects on the food. I highly recommend this property, friendly place.

Read this.
My only complaint is with the 3rd party online booking company. I filled out the information, 2 Adults, 1child- age 14. I picked the room from the choices I was given (Oceanview Deluxe) My TOTAL price to pay came up and I booked it, and received my paid in full email. When we got there the hotel told us there was a mistake with our booking. Our child was over 10 yrs old. So, I explained and showed them my receipt showing 2 adults 1 child age 14, Ocean Deluxe rm. Paid in full. Their very kind manager called the owner, and after only a few minutes everything was sorted out and they said it was a mistake on the side of the 3rd party booking co., and we were checked in, and glad we stayed. The owner is a very dedicated and a hard working gentleman and it shows by the condition of their Resort. I only had the pleasure of speaking to him for a brief moment. He is in my book a War hero, but would never admit to it, and looks to be maybe only 37-40 yrs old. The staff were great! The food was fantastic! The room was perfect! It is a small resort but just the right size place to get the service you would expect. The pool is great and very clean. They light touches everynight on the beach. It was a little bumpy at check in, but it was not their fault nor mine, it was the online 3rd party booking company, ( which he said has been fixed). They handled it professionally, and we would recommend Kav's Resort 100%.

Decent hotel but bad experience
We booked the family room even though there were only two of us. On the whole or stay was pleasant, so much so that we were going to extend our stay until the last night. The room was comfortable with big beds and a bath tub in the bathroom which is a nice bonus. The pool is very nice and the place is right on the sandy beach although it is rocky in the sea. The resteraunt has lots of choice but many of the meals are not prepared fresh and as such it can be a bit and miss experience. The staff were very polite and extremely accommodating. All in all it was a decent value stay until the last night when we were burgled. We went out for the evening and came back after midnight to find all or possessions had been ransacked and many items stolen. Police were informed and manager seemed shocked and this unfortunately will be the experience we remember from our stay.

Decent value
If you're here for Apo island, it's not a terrible place to stay. The outside and pool look decent but the room and especially the bathroom are awful (slow draining water, dirty and moldy shower curtain, etc.) Also, get ready to sign a draw out contract for what you are not allowed to do. You'll feel like a teenager with curfew rules. The restaurant is terrible. The price is relatively sensible so I recommend this place but only until you're done snorkeling Apo island. Lastly, don't overpay for tricycles. Take the jeepney or Ceres bus around.

I really enjoyed my stay at Kav's! I hadn't realised how far Zamboangita was from Dauin though. It takes around 25 mins on the Jeepney but is only 10peso (Tricycles want 150-200) I came to scuba dive so I did have to travel back & forth, however the resort was much nicer than the budget accomodation in Dauin and cheaper than the higher end resorts in Dauin, so for me it was worth it. The pool was nice, the grounds are well maintained and very green - realxing environment, beach front, food good, staff friendly, Wifi actually worked! It was quiet and the room was very comfortable and modern with TV & mini bar which was reasonably priced. The shower was excellent and air con worked well. It is not sign posted from the road so if you stay and intend to take public transport, you will need to get off at St Peter's chapel on the right from Dauin and then it's a 5-10 min walk off one of the side roads. The jeepney & bus drivers are very helpful there. (I over shot my stop in the dark and the bus driver flagged another one to take me back for free and carried my bag over!) The bus is slightly more, approx 16 peso. I would stay back here and travel to Dauin as I thought it was good value for money. There is nothing around though so if you want shops / bars / restaurants then stay in Dauin or Dumaguete.

Good place to stay, very slow restaurant service
We have stayed only one night on our way to the Apo island and found this place very good. Although place doesn't have 24 hours running reception you can call in advance and hotel representative will wait for you, which was really convenient for us arriving after midnight. Room was really good, had everything we need including complimentary water and tea facilities, bathroom was clean and quite new as well. Unfortunately, restaurant service is run this place down. Service is really really slow and food quality weren't so good as well. We have ordered our breakfast and have to wait around 45 minutes before it arrived. Even after mentioning that we are in a hurry it took another 15 minutes to serve it. We have also ordered fresh mango juice and it was absolutely tasteless, you can mainly taste ice, not mango. Overall good hotel with not really good restaurant.

Good if location is not a concern.... little far
Though it a little far off from Dumaguete or Sibulan where we met relatives, it is still a good choice to get away from the hustle of the city and relax. The pool is accessible as well as the beach. I enjoyed the stay

The only problem is that the beach is far from ideal: very few sand, line of stones near the coast. Everything else is excellent: helpful staff, well-kept territory, big pool, delicious food, fast internet. Good place for a long stay.

Nice Little Out of the Way Place to Relax
My Wife needed to get away from the noise and heat of Dumaguete so I booked this place for her to relax. It was so nice when I flew over we booked it again . The place is small, yet efficient and nice. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a relaxing place to stay.

Hotel is located just in front of the beach, we saw a beautiful and romantic sunset there. The location is quite far from the city, but relaxing, and dinner was yum. Staffs are friendly, except the receptioner, she's always looked impaitient for every question we asked.

Рекомендовано!
Очень уютный отель. Всего 10 номеров. Чистый бассейн с маленькой горкой и бассейн для детей. Приятный ресторан. Лежаки у бассейна и на пляже. Бар на пляже с 14 до 22. Приветливый персонал. В номерах есть все необходимое. Трансфер до/из аэропорта. Заказ туров на Апо. Из минусов не очень чистый пляж и 1.5 км до Замбоангиты. Но это не портит общее впечатление. До дороги 5 минут пешком и масса транспорта в любую сторону.

Comfortable stay but service can be improved
The resort is very beautiful overall. The room and bed was comfortable, but the room was quite small. The service can be improved, as we did not have room service and had to ask for toilet paper. Also the food was only okay and we had to wait about an hour (at least) to receive our food each time. The pool was nice and you have direct access to the beach. We used it as a jump off point for a day trip to Apo Island, which the staff helped us organise.
