Bella Louise Lodging House Bar and Resto Map, Address, Transportation & Nearest Stations and Airport

Pros and cons. The island was great, we loved our stay at the cottage. But the service was not so good. Pros: - The island was great. Major plus points for the house reef and grass bed that attracts fish and sea turtles. There were birds and the monitor lizards on the island! - The view from our sunrise cottage was great. The rooms were clean and the toiletries complete. - Transport to and from the island went smoothly. - Massage was great! Cons: - We arrived at around 1pm (official check in time is 3pm). The staff told us they would call us when our room was ready. Many groups of arrivals were steadily being escorted to their rooms but not us. At 230pm I went back to the reception and was told our rooms had been ready earlier! But NO ONE let us know. At this point, they gave me the key card but no one made a move to escort us to our rooms and I had to ask if they could give us our luggage so we can go the room already before the receptionist accompanied us. - There is no comfortable place to wait or change clothes while waiting for your room. Basically people are sitting on the pool loungers in their pants/shoes from the airplane. - We signed up for the hike, we were told some one would text us to confirm time and meeting place, NO ONE called. - Basically, any time they tell you they'll call you, NO ONE did. I had to call multiple times and actually go the reception to get any response. - The restaurant was not full yet it was very hard to get the attention of any server. The food also took 30-40 minutes to serve. Kudos to the one lady server who served our lunch everyday for 3 days, she was the only one who helped us. - Used plates/utensils were left on the restaurant tables for a long time. We sat down as the neighboring party left and we were already done, their plates were still sitting on the table (being snacked on by the birds). This happened every meal (and we're slow eaters, at least 45 minutes). - Towels and plates/cups by the pool loungers also not cleared for hours. - Breakfast and dinner buffet were just okay. Nothing to write home about.

Excellent hotel. The location is great. There are a lot of corals near the hotel, on the opposite side of the bay there is a mangrove forest. You can use kayaks, masks and fins for snorkeling free of charge. The only negative is the cost of the transfer from the airport to the hotel.

The Beach House at Ocam Ocam is a gem with exceptional 5 star service. Even before I arrived, the communication was excellent, making me feel secure as a solo female traveler. The property and structure is beautifully crafted by a talented local foreman using native materials. The furnishings speak of laid-back island luxury and the bedding and towels were of great quality. As a person who must work even while on holiday, the fast and reliable WiFi was greatly appreciated. The beach itself is one of the best on the island that you can access by land. While it is quite far away from nightlife, I didn’t mind since that is typically what I prefer. Ocam Ocam is a special place, as are the people who call it home. The staff went above an BEYOND anything I could ever ask for. I can’t thank you all enough. The friendly dogs were an added welcomed bonus.

Summer card with the same hotel ~ From the airport all the way is the same route of BTS Miss Staff said that we may be the first group to punch the card. The scenery here is super beautiful, wherever they go, where they have been. Finally I saw 🌈 Open smoke [happy]

I cannot recommend Marina Del Sol enough! Worth every peso! Exceptional service and staff. Gorgeous and clean Villas with incredible views. Peaceful and relaxing. The staff checked in with me daily and I booked all my activities through them. Even helped to accommodate my vegetarian diet at the restaurant. Scooter, Kayak, Island Hopping in Busuanga and Coron Island Tour. They provide an experiences menu to choose from, which I loved! If you do any of the boat tours on Banca (the traditional Filipino Boat), I highly recommend requesting the boat Angela with Noel and Wilson. They were the BEST guides to the point where I made sure I had them on my second boat tour. Note to Digital Workers & Nomads - No WIFI service in rooms. Only in restaurant, which was not great. Though I had good cell reception and was able to use my own data plan on my phone for working. So come prepared if this is you!

While it's a bit of a trek (90 minutes van ride from the Busuanga airport), it's well worth it. We stayed for four days, three nights and had a wonderful time, taking a much-needed respite from urban life. Accomodations were beautiful. While the water pressure and temperature were variable at times, we enjoyed our room. Should power go down, the resort has a back-up generator. Our balcony view was amazing, and I would wake up each morning before sunset to catch the peace + tranquility of this resort. Food was spot on with room service available. Mar was excellent in coordinating and communicating with us on any bonfires and buffets that were scheduled. One such dinner buffet was out on the pier while another location was set amidst lit trees. It took our breath away, and we felt incredibly blessed to be dining in such beautiful surroundings. The staff was great. Lando, our tour guide, also carved the beautiful woodwork found around the hotel along with the room keys. My husband and Albert shared a bond talking about their love of tattoos. As earlier reviews mention, this resort may not be ideal for elderly or disabled persons. My 83-year old mom came with us, and while she was not able to go all the way down to the beach, she said that she really enjoyed staying at the resort. Thanks to the warm, friendly and accommodating staff who made her feel right at home, she enjoyed meals at the restaurant or on her balcony overlooking the sea. Another item of note is that Wi-Fi is only available at the reception area beside the pool. So for those glued to their devices, you will have to hang out there to surf the web. We hope to visit again and experience the warm ties of friendship with the staff along with the peace + calm of the resort.

The environment is nice, quiet and comfortable. Arranging various activities is still in place. The meals are average. In addition to the breakfast, the first waffle package is included in the breakfast. The difference must be made (not good) because with the two children on the last day, the hotel arranges a chartered car. The island hopping driver delivered to the town's pier then took the luggage to the next scheduled hotel to pick us up at the pier in the afternoon. The price was not cheap. In order to worry about accepting it, who knows that I can't wait for the driver to go ashore in the afternoon. tt bar (lost professional ethics) advise friends who book this hotel to bring enough needed items in the past the nearest village supermarket is one kilometer away (it is also good to feel the life of the locals)

+ Beautiful place + frienly helpful staff + relaxing vibe - snorkling in Front of the resort isnt that good - the Food is incredible overpriced

the staff were very friendly, recommended what activities to do and called a car for us from Busuanga to Coron. the restaurant in the hotel was alright! the room was quite clean and had all basic needs. worth a stay!
