Real experiences from real travelers
The day pass was absolutely worth it! The buffet lunch was delicious and extensive. The sandbar is magical, though it gets hot so bring sunscreen. The staff at Bluewater were incredibly attentive.
We took the combo tour with the whale sharks. Sumilon was the perfect relaxing end to the day. The marine sanctuary has very clear water and we saw many clownfish.
As a local, I love Sumilon. The amenities are great. Just a tip: go on a weekday if you can, as weekends can get crowded at the sandbar.
Booking online was smooth. The boat transfer was quick (15 mins). We hiked to the lighthouse and the views were stunning. The infinity pool access is a major plus.
The food was good and the glamping tents looked cool. Snorkeling gear rental was easy. The currents at the sandbar were a bit strong, so be careful.
Took my parents and kids. The resort is very family friendly. The lagoon is calm for swimming. Highly recommend the day pass package.
The island is beautiful but it was very windy when we went, so the boat ride was choppy. Check the weather before booking. The lunch spread was decent.
Combined this with Kawasan falls. Long day but amazing. Sumilon was the highlight - that water color is unreal. The changing rooms are clean and spacious.
