La Puerta Al Paraizo Resort

Has some pros and cons. Pros- very quiet and secluded. Peaceful with very few guest on the beach. Staff was friendly and attentive to our needs. Cons- very far from downtown. (Not much goes on downtown anyways though) Biggest issue is the room needs to be remodeled. We paid for the most expensive room and it felt creepy and dated. Shower leaks, sink leaks, toilet didn't flush so I fixed it myself. Outlets didn't work half the time. No TV and wifi didn't connect from our room. Overall....we wouldn't come back.

It was a really bumpy ride on the way to the hotel, the road really needs improvement but that goes to the city officials of course. Our stay was short, but it was a pleasant one. Overall it was good, the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Room is clean, great view of the beach, love the veranda and the small huts near the beach. Food is just okay, need more options for afternoon snacks. Some points of improvement if I may... I think we were the only family staying in the resort that day so there was a shortage of staff. It takes a while before you get served. I also remember asking our ordered coffee and ice cream to be delivered in our room but they charge 15% service charge for every delivery, and I was not very happy with that. Pool needs cleaning, a lot! We weren't able to enjoy the low tide beach, you can see jellyfish and sea urchins everywhere, it was probably because it's low tide and it's nature of course, so not the resort's fault at all. Good side is you can turn it to a wonderful walk and just explore the place (from one big rock to another, and cross the beach by just walking). My advise for guests - Make sure to carry your aqua shoes. Bring snorkeling equipment, you will love it there (get a complete suit though and put on anti jelly fish sting lotion or something). Bring snacks with you, and water too :)

Finding the resort was a bit challenging since some areas in Guimaras have weak signal and we were relying solely on Google Maps for directions. We also visited during Typhoon Tino, so the roads were quite dangerous due to fallen electric wires, slippery paths, and tree branches blocking the way. Thankfully, we still arrived safely. When we got there, the resort was closed because of the typhoon, but the staff were very accommodating. They kindly allowed us to look around since we mentioned we only planned to swim for the day. They even charged us only 200 PHP because the resort wasn’t fully operational yet and hadn’t been cleaned. The pool didn’t have water at the time, but despite the situation, the staff were genuinely nice. Even with the typhoon, the beach remained beautiful and peaceful. I can imagine how lovely the rooms must be, especially those near the sea view. If I return to Guimaras, I would definitely consider booking my stay here.

If you want a quick escape from the city, this place is highly recommended. The place is peaceful, clean and beautiful. It has not just 1 but 2 white beaches plus a swimming pool. It's not far from the townproper of Nueva Valencia, Guimaras. The staff are also accommodating, plus there is a strong wifi connection which is great if you are remotely working. This place is a go to for a relaxing getaway.

There was a typhoon when we went there but still It is indeed a beautiful place.

extremely bad price-performance ratio. Staff was unfriendly and unmotivated. The view and the food were the only good things. All in all, wasn't worth the money.

Worst, there is no signal all network, the wifi only available in the restaurant, the pool has no water, the beach has a lot of seaweeds and not safe to swim coz a lot of sea urchin and the water looks dirty. The towels are damage.. although the rooms are ok but old. I will never recommend this resort ever for those who needs network connections.

Nice resort to stay a day and a good spot to book the island hopping tour. Internet is available in the restaurant and in an outside pavilion. But not in the rooms. Restaurant prices are absolutely ok, and an American breakfast is available. Allover is a very good choice. Smoking rules are very relaxed. Check it out.

This is a hidden gem in Guimaras island. This resort is very picturesque and trendy. Longest swimming pool I've seen in the Philippines. Very relaxing vibe. They have small beach pods that you can stay in if you don't want to be in the regular hotel rooms. However, the bathrooms are outside. If you don't want to stay overnight, just go to the bar and grab some drinks while watching the beautiful sunset. Such a wonderful way to end the day. They also have a "wipe out" activity for 700 pesos.It's basically an obstacle course in the water that you can do with your family or friends.
