Bluewater Sumilon Island Resort

Beautiful and nice staff & food

Light curtains

Everything the staff were extremely helpful, making the stay that little bit more special. The views are incredible and the sandbar is perfect for taking pictures of the sunset. There are many activities that are very reasonably priced, there are a number of free activities as well, they are all worth doing. The snorkeling and diving were both fantastic. The food was very well priced delicious and very good portion sizes with so many options. If you are looking for an amazing island get away look no further.

the clean and beautiful waters, well-kept resort facilities, friendly staff.

Staff were helpful and friendly.Room was nice and spacious.Snorkeling with a guide was a fantastic experience.

The private pool was much smaller than expected. It was more like a jacuzzi size and it was not temperature controlled.The staff while extremely friendly, seemed like they were new on the job so whenever we asked them something they always had to go find out and get back to us.

It was nice experience . Just not much spicy options . One day , chef prepare Italian food which was nice . Staff are exceptional , lively . They even prepare ans set a nice table for last day with complimentalry wine glasses.

We loved just about everything in this resort. Food is excellent and the facilities fabulous. We loved the way the rooms were disposed and wished we had stayed longer.

We were not aloud to scuba dive in the morning unless we paid for a guide which seemed quite ridiculous. There are many tourists in the morning on the white sand beach.

It is a quiet and very organized resort, on a private and secluded island. The staff is extremely friendly, respectful and well versed to hosting.

Nice staff, good selection of food, room spacious, aircon worked well, easy to dry our wet diving stuff, SandBar guide was wonderful.

The bathroom has some growing algae on the side corner or mould and the sandbar has loads of trash like bottles plastic or glass that was left by the daily tourists and cigarettes butts on the sands. I ordered garlic fried rice and all we got was steam rice with toasted garlic thrown in at the top. At the restaurant table was very disappointing as you have to ask for water and napkins instead of being readily available the only staff there that outstanding is William from the Bar. As he always has a smile on his face. I also booked a room directly in the reception for my Niece and I asked for the email confirmation to be sent to me and her but I have never received it even though I ask 3 times when would I get it.

The location

Friendly staffs. Amazing white beach with in-house guests swimming pool. Highly recommended to my friends & family members.

It was awful. I cannot recommend anyone this hotel. Food was pathetic, breakfast has so little choic

Everything, especially commuting to and back to the resort. Further, it was super difficult to connect with the hotel employees, none of the phone number were working. It was a big disappointment. The boat did not wait for me for 10 minutes and this was the last boat to the island. Finally, I got a one after payment of PHP3500, it was too expensive.

Awesome island location.

The resort nickled and dimed you to death and they counted my 15 year old daughter as an adult which resulted in extra unexpected and unappreciated charges.

The property advertises itself as a private island, while most part of it can be visited on day trip from Oslob. Based on price and pictures, it is supposed to be a luxury accommodation however to be honest it was a disappointment for us. We’ve spent two nights in the island, where we could only sit next to the pool and read - which was fine, but not as expected for the money we’ve paid. The room was outdated and serious need of some renovation. The food was ok (we had half board included in our package which makes sense as there is no other food option on the island), but buffet might not be the best option here. Maybe a menu with a, but options would be better and the taste of the food was also not very good. Other activities on the island such as the snorkeling seems impossible due to wind and strong current on both days, the sandbar was invisible for both days we’ve spent on the island, and the lagoon was only a very small lake, did not make sense to do kayaking or anything. The only thing we really enjoyed was walking around the island, the kind of lime stone on the shores were pretty interesting. The staff was attentive but this was not enough to make feelings so disappointment go away. Also the prices of the additional items purchased (such as drinks by the pool) are way too high. The island just somehow does not have any good vibes and did not live up to our expectations at all.

Food. The breakfast and dinner were delicious.

One of the workers always was standing beside our room window and playing YouTube videos, which ruined our privacy.

Amazing experience. Staff were very accommodating and lovely, room was huge with incredible views. Great facilities and beautiful location. Breakfast and dinner which were included were both great too

Food and drinks are very expensive, the resort definitely takes advantage of the monopoly of owning the island.

This island is gorgeous and the hotel facilities are great too. The corals on this island are just marvelous

The food was disappointing. I got food poisoning … the breakfast buffet had a lot of food that looked old and not fresh/sad. Be careful with the food in this hotel!

it’s an island resort, with its own sandbar, white sandy beaches, a lagoon for kayaking and fishing, a variety of birds all over the place… clear blue waters of the sea perfect for snorkeling, swimming.

poor internet signal in the cottages/rooms. which is not really bad, come to think of it.

The bungalow looked older than on the pictures, but the location is really marvelous.

I had as well one pb with the restaurant. One of the dinners, I got out without having dinner at all have having waited for more than 1 hr after ordering food. That is just not acceptable.

Superb location, nice rooms with views of the sea. Quit location with nice facilities and lots of little activities to do in the island. Good snorkeling and nice pool area as well.

Food is OK but options are a bit limited for vegetarians.

Staff service was excellent, everyone was very hospitable. I also enjoyed that everything was included on the island and you didn't have to worry much - ie. snorkeling equipment, food, we were able to get our laundry done, transportation included, et...
