Sustainable efforts and great staff
Staff were incredible! Service with the food took a while each time since staffs on duty were too few for the number of guests so that’s a management call to improve. Room 103 had issues with the toilet flush so we just tried to fix it on our own. But overall place is memorable!
I love the sustainability efforts on refillable shampoo, body wash, hand wash, and conditioner.

Sunset photo and?
The memories made in this place was amazing. The view of the sunset with the gazebo dock is picturesque. The staff was nice! However, it is a dive resort. The snorkeling is something one must experience to understand it. Amenities was basic. The pool was colder in temp than the beach. The room was not what I expected specially the bathroom. Too rustic for me. Should I visit again? ! Not sure. Driving to the place is very challenging.

My first and last visit
The hotel itself was great but the place is very hard to find. We had to go through a mountain to be there and road is sooo narrow.
I cannot forget this place because they didnt tell us that the breakfast is NOT FREE. I discovered it after getting my deposit.

Mostly set-dressing
For our whole stay, would give this a max of 2.8 stars. Enjoyable, but would not return.
In summary, it felt like the resort was mostly window dressing; aesthetically pleasing but lacked substantial services.
This is coming from the perspective of veteran hotel-stayers who stayed to relax and not to party, so your millage may vary.
The whole place and room was aesthetically pleasing. But there were a couple of negative points: 1) WIFI did not reach our room (we booked the Sunset suite). So our TV wasn’t connected to the internet. There were limited international channels for movies. Majority of the channels were on International sports and local tv shows. We had to rely on our mobile data throughout our stay whenever we were in our room. 2) The room didn't have a phone so it was hard to get in touch with staff when we needed it. 3) Water pressure was weak and inconsistent throughout our whole stay. 4) The bathroom could have been a bit cleaner. Sink was dirty when we came in and so was the tubes of the shower. 4) The location of the resort is quite difficult to get to; a critical road is quite narrow and steep. So drive carefully and have a really good car. And if you're coming to this location at night, there won't be any lights for said road. 5) Some of the amenities we were hoping to use were under renovation or not available. We wanted to get the massage service at their spa, but since there were only a handful of guests during our stay, the spa was closed. The kids room (the one with games) was being renovated which we were only informed of when we arrived. 6) The room wasn’t cleaned during our whole stay. If requested, they will make your bed, but without changing the sheets and that’s it. As frequent hotel and resort stayers in different parts of the Philippines, we’ve stayed at cheaper resorts who offer FULL and DAILY housekeeping/cleaning.
Now as for some of the notable and positive points: 1) Our room was spacious and had an amazing view. As a beach front hotel, cleanliness of the beach is good; near some rocky areas and there was an area with some trash, but you can avoid all of it further down the coastline. 2) There were some standout food items, and luckily these bumped up the score this high. Some small food items could be better, but for the most part, the restaurant was highly satisfactory. 3) There were a few standout staff, namely: Jasper, Angela, Marielle, Juls, and Janine who went above-and-beyond in terms of customer service. We truly felt their kindness and hospitality.
But most of the staff we encountered did need improvements. They're not trained to think outside-of-the-box, or go above-and-beyond, when dealing with customer concerns, and they seemed capable only with transactional interactions. Note: I would chalk this up to lack of training from management rather than their personalities. Also, most of the people who interacted with us were not knowledgeable about many things about the resort itself e.g., if there are tooth brushes and tooth paste, best route out of the resort, how often rooms are cleaned, and even what's the wifi password?! We were consistently given inconsistent answers/responses from different hotel staff on basic amenities, SOPs, and issues we raised stated above. Although, admittedly, some staff did need to improve their personality. A select few staff were really not friendly and seemed purposely unhelpful. This, I would not chalk up to management, but to that individual staff's personality. As someone who made sure to address each staff by their name with a smile on my face, it was quite disappointing to be greeted with frowning faces or with no efforts to provide further assistance whenever we encountered the issues listed above.
If not for the delicious food from the restaurant and the service of 5 outstanding staff, the view of the room would have not been enough to give this resort a rate any higher than 1.
So kudos to the restaurant and to the 5 amazing staff!

Great Service, Spectacular View From the Room
Me and my wife stayed at Destino Beach Club for 3 days and 2 nights. Get the Sunset View room. It's a little pricey but you will not regret it. The view from the room is serene and so relaxing. That's why we only had room service for our food and did not eat at the restaurant. We enjoyed the food while admiring the view.
Food at Tito Rey's is good. We tried a lot of dishes and not one dish we tried disappoint.
What I like about the beach is you can snorkel a couple of minutes from shore and you'll be seeing a coral reefs and fishes already. No need to rent a boat to snorkel. We brought some fish food (ones you can buy from pet stores) and fed the fishes. Fishes were quite wild I think as they are wary to approach us even though we have food. But eventually, they warmed up and approached us to feed. We enjoyed the fish feeding. Note - Please don't feed the fishes bread. Fishes can't digest it well.
The resort manager, Yogielyn, was so helpful and friendly. She's perfect fit for the resort.
One drawback though - it is quite hard to get to the resort. My tip is to message the resort through FB messenger. They will provide you the direction to go to the resort. You'll get lost if you follow Waze.
We'll definitely be back.
