Club Tara Resort

I traveled halfway around the world to stay there and because of the weather they did not provide the boat necessary to get to Club Terra. What is very very aggravating is Club Tara has a policy in which they issue no refunds. How can that be fair?

There was nothing to like since we were on able to stay there. I did hear from a very good source that club Tara has become very run down. If you are thinking about staying here do yourself a favor and stay on the island. Do not risk a 2hr boat ride.

I love the free kayaking / padel boards. Was able to enjoy the view and saw some star fish lol

Old facilities but still bearable. I’m after the view and activities anyway

.The food was OK and the location was great.

It needs a lot of repairs and upgrades. The Jacuzzi tub felt like it was gonna crack through the bottom when you stepped onto it, it’s almost like thin plastic. The toilet wasn’t functioning properly, so I had to put water from the sink into the tank to flush the staff Was nice

Lagoon.

They didn’t specify how far and complicated the transport would be. And due to bad weather would have to rebook hotel and change date for check in and also possible boat.

Our stay in Club Tara was amazing! I loved waking up in the morning and seeing the beautiful view of the cove from our balcony. I booked Club Tara despite the negative reviews because I knew what was important to me as a traveler and that’s a great view and great location. This is the best jump-off point to do the Sohoton Cove Tour because it’s just a short boat ride away (as compared to a 2-hr boat ride if you were coming from Siargao’s main island). Lastly, the service was fantastic thanks to Liwanie, she was the warmest and most accommodating amongst all the staff. She made our stay very pleasant and we can see that she was very hardworking. I hope the management reads this because she really deserves some recognition.Overall, the price is very cheap since it’s a 3-star resort, but given the stunning views from the balcony and the great location, I would say it offers a GREAT value for your money!

1. The kayaks were very old and dilapidated. Please invest in new kayaks.2. There is no wifi in the rooms (this did not bother me much coz I can enjoy my vacation with a good book. If you need Netflix in your life even on vacation, then just download episodes to your phone before the trip)Despite these, I still strongly recommend that you stay here for a couple of nights. Come here knowing it’s an old 3-star resort but with unbeatable views and a stone’s throw away from Sohoton Cove.

The surrounding areas were great. The boat driver and your guides were amazing.

The staff were awful. The room had no air conditioning. We were treated like garbage

Lets put it straight, this is absolutely stunning location for which you will need to sacrifice your comfort and value for money.

bet is small and jumpy and very difficult to sleep on. Shower is falling apart. You pay 50k pesos per night and they dont even clean this room during your stay. Kitchen is dirty, with cats and dogs and food options are very limited.

The scenery is great and their tour activities (price excluded)

The place is too far and we arrive there, it’s not the way we expect it to be. It’s only good in the pictures, none else. The room itself is not properly maintained, the bathtub (which is popular in their content and will easily capture your attention) is NOT really that good. Again, it will only be good on your content. (Expectation vs reality) We have stayed there for 4 days and 3 nights (because we’ve paid for it already) and every night it’s getting worst and worst. Since it’s too far, we don’t have a choice but to order their food on their menu that most of the time is unavailable nor worst is not edible (like the old French fries we ordered)On our second night, we need to kill some insects (well hornets ☹️) to make ourselves felt comfortable during our sleep. It’s NOT advisable to stay here for longer days as you will feel more uncomfortable as day goes by.

Club Tara is not that bad. Don’t believe in the worst reviews given by the other guests. First, it is not a five-star resort, don’t expect much in the facilities. There is an ongoing renovation during our visit, so expect improvements soon. The resort has comfortable rooms where you can see the beauty of nature and a jacuzzi in each room. Their staff members are amiable, accommodating, and helpful. A special mention to Bonga. She was such a darling to us. You will not regret having her with you during your meal time. The foods we ordered were excellent. They have a good cook there. The place is remote, so expect a bad mobile internet connection. But that will be the best time to unwind. Their location is perfect if you want to escape the noise and stress of the city. Just use their free surfboard or kayak because there are many places to explore. There is a part where it feels like you are in the middle of the jungle. It’s total bliss and peaceful out there. Overall, we enjoyed our three-night stay at the resort. It’s worth the money.

For coffee lovers, better to bring your bag of beans or coffee makers if you are not a fan of instant coffee. Bring your water tumbler too. The water is only available at the restaurant. Light snacks are not available specially if you like chips.

I LOVED the view. The staff was very friendly. The ambiance was wonderful.

The tub could've been cleaner. Couldn't enjoy it as I saw bugs crawling in the water. I also so bugs on my bed. had a little food

The location of the resort - the waters surrounding the resort - is awesome, nature at its best. The architecture of the resort, the structure of the facilities are very good. If only these facilities were maintained properly; unfortunately they are not.

This resort could have been 5-star if efforts were done for its upkeep. Now it looks sad and neglected. Rusty hinges, missing parts of the water closet, very cheap looking door rugs, little things that as a whole give a definite sense of neglect. And though the staff are very friendly and did their best, it is apparent that they do not have training in the hospitality industry. They come off as cheap labor hired to prop up a dying business. Sad but that is the impression I got from my stay. I fervently hope the owners can rehabilitate the resort.

It is secluded...very clear water..staff were accommodating

our room smelled like paint or lacquer, maybe it had been recently painted or varnished..The hot tub was non functional and not to clean..The a/c is not the greatest....

This is a wonderful little resort. Yes, the facilities are a bit rundown due the typhoons and earthquake happened here not to long ago, but the staff is amazing, and the location is unbeatable!!! Fantastic!!!! If you stay here, go to Sohoton cave with there’s tour. You pay probably a little more but you will get to the lagoon way before the bog groups from the surrounding main islands. You will swim alone with the jellyfish and the nature is unbelievable without any noise.Food was ok, you dont come here for culinary experience. Thank you club tara!!! Annabel, Hazel, Lenis and all the crew! Great job!

Food wasn’t the best

literally nothing and this property should be removed from booking. it has been abandoned and the staff is struggling to survive. I don’t think I’ve ever been to an establishment that is more forgotten by ownership and it’s very uncomfortable because the only way in and out of this run down mess of a hotel is by boat.

there is no other way to describe this place then a safety hazard. DO NOT LET PEOPLE TRAVEL HERE

tooo old

everything ... don't want to recommend it

We enjoyed our stay at club tara.

its literally like an expectation vs reality. we expected that it would be like maldives experience because of the pictures. however, when we got there, we were disappointed but their staffs are nice.
