These are luxury resorts. They aren’t for everyone. Kung di nyo afford, no need to be sad and bitter. Marami pang ibang beaches sa Pilipinas na magaganda at abot kaya ng budget nyo.
Wow nice. Included Dumaguete on the List. Great!!
makaka-afford lang nito na Pilipino is yung mga taong nagnanakaw sa kaban ng bayan. kawawang Juan!
I was able to reach this place but I did not steal from the government. I worked hard and guided well my children. Provided them to good education( almost all the times borrowing money from different lending institutions… They landed a good job and was able to bring me in more or less than 8 of these luxury destinations. I am just a simple teacher and I’m glad I gone this far…Still looking forward to have footprints on other luxury destinations in and out of the country before I die. Work hard + dedication and commitment deserve a reward.
How come Bellarocca is not included?
Philippines at its best..sadly only foreigners can easily afford.most likely owned by foreigners even
Try Dive Solana resort and other luxury resorts in Anilao Batangas, its near and better.
If you’re going to visit Davao, better go to Pearl Farm Resort Davao. It’s very affordable.
I have a travel and tours business and I can give you a good deal for Misibis Bay. I just eent there the other day. :) please email me at upstravelandservices@gmail.com
Thanks!
The wife and I stayed at the Shangri-La in Boracay in the summer of 2013. We were on a late honeymoon so the resort offered us villa with it’s own pool, butler, and access to a private beach. The staff was the absolute best. Looking forward to going back again…
ive never been to any of these, cant afford anyway im about to finish the 81 provinces of the Philippines, 17 more to go….
time will come when these resorts will be reclaimed by ordinary people ans not just used the moneyed thieves and make believe people
It’s very nice but sad to say only rich people can afford to go in these kind of beach resort. how about middle class and poor people that they can’t afford to pay this expensive place or beach resort?
Amanpulo is dream and to do list for me next year! This is a great list, thanks.
I think Balesin should also be on this list.
Wow nice list!Yes indeed, camayn beach resort is a paradise :) check my review on Camayan Beach Resort in Subic Bay Philippines thanks
that’s why these are called luxury resorts not cheap budget hotels. you’ve got to pay more for something special. lets face it, its not for everyone. if you are poor, strive hard to be rich. no need to be bitter.
Of course, these resorts are expensive. Didn’t it say “luxury”? These are targeted at the high-end of the market. Most of these places charge in US Dollars.
It’s very nice beaches in the Philippines but its too much expensive . There’s a lot of nice beaches in other part of the world that cost less. It so sad that only rich, VIP people can afford. .hehee

1. Pangulasian Island Resort – The most expensive resort owned by the El Nido group.
2. Two Seasons Coron Palawan
4. Ariara Island Palawan
5. Noa Noa Island Palawan
6. Huma Island Resort and Spa
