Not for us…

Surprised that Isla has such good reviews on Google. It goes without saying that Isla is not a luxury accommodation and therefore it’s not super comfortable (which we knew going into the trip) but unfortunately Isla is nothing like the pictures you see on instagram - the island itself is beautiful and it’s lovely to wake up listening to the waves but the huts, communal areas and areas around Isla are pretty dirty and poorly maintained. The service isn’t great and the food is also average (served communally with, in my opinion, not enough to serve the whole group). We wouldn’t recommend.

4/10 Fair

With its incredible looking socials and promise of glamping style accommodation, for the price point we really wanted to like Isla experience more. This is more of a base camp feel rather than a relaxing couples escape. Socialising is encouraged, communal dinner etc. Whilst for some this may be attractive for others this may feel too much. We really wanted a couples rest and relax escape before heading back to the UK but found it difficult to find solitude. Pros - The location is fantastic with a great beach. - The staff were great. - The couples massage by two locals ladies from the village was perhaps the best we’ve ever had. Ask for Gedalyn and Emma. Cons - After paying PHP2600 for a return van transfer for two from El Nido it felt unacceptable to have to wait nearly an hour at the port for the boat to arrive to take us across to the island on both the outward and return journey. - Food and drinks are expensive, as in expensive. This isn’t Boracay. - A big one for us…the showers are salt water. This wasn’t mentioned anywhere on the Hotels.com listing. You will remain sticky for the entire duration of your stay. There literally is no point in showering after being in the sea. - There is a constant subtle smell in the air. We couldn’t pinpoint what the smell was, possibly drains, possibly seaweed, possibly a nearly piggery, who knows. - The cleanliness of the shared toilets and showers varied. The toilets do not allow you to flush toilet tissue, it should be placed in a

Un séjour inoubliable en pleine nature

J’ai passé une nuit à Isla – The Island Experience, et ce court séjour a été exceptionnel. Tout est très bien organisé, y compris le transport, qu’on règle directement avec l’hôtel. Sur place, l’ambiance est paisible et déconnectée : parfait pour se ressourcer. Entre le snorkeling autour de l’épave, le délicieux buffet, les porcs en liberté sur la plage, la visite du village voisin, et les superbes levers et couchers de soleil, chaque moment était mémorable. L’endroit est calme, nature, et authentique — une vraie parenthèse loin du monde moderne.

8/10 Very good

Für eine Nacht ist es super schön, zum schnorcheln keine schönen Spots & am Wrack ist das Wasser sehr trüb. Zum relaxen ist es gut weil der Strand wunderschön ist. Organisation klappt auch gut man hat zweimal am Tag einen kostenlosen Transfer mit dem Boot
