Ogtong Cave Resort

Beautiful place but disappointed with beachfront cleanliness Ogtong Cave Resort has a lot of potential — the cave is stunning, the pool is relaxing, and the overall property is well-maintained. However, I was really disappointed by the condition of the beachfront. There was noticeable trash along the shore: plastic bottles, food wrappers, and other litter scattered in the sand and near the water. It takes away from the beauty of the area and affects the overall experience. For a resort that charges decent rates, I expected better maintenance of the beachfront. I hope the management takes this seriously and implements more regular cleanups or signs encouraging guests to dispose of waste properly. This place could be even more amazing with a clean and cared-for shoreline. I’d still recommend a visit — especially for the cave — but I do hope to see improvement in beachfront cleanliness next time.

We planned to just visit cave but stayed for pool time & ocean pics. It's small private resort with guard at gate so have to pay entry fees. They sell floaters and water shoes if needed. Visited on Wed morning so not crowded at all in cave or at pool. Only pool has loungers to layout. No beach at high tide but picnic tables & chairs are around area. Had nice lunch and bought smoothies at pool tiki bar. Showers worked and bathrooms had toilet paper so we would return if we wanted another pool day. There was litter around ocean parts and still some construction happening so please do better job at maintaining cleanliness. It goes a long way with tourists. The cave is nice to check out but wasn't main appeal. We enjoyed the scenery & pool the most.

We went there as guest. We paid 150 for the entrance fee. It used to be 250 though but they reduced the EF since their pool is being renovated. The cave is stunning the first time we saw it. But eventually, you would realize, "that's it?". After taking photos in the cave, we decided to take a nap in the bench to kill the time. I could say that it was a pleasant stay. They have milktea and mango shake bar inside. It taste good in reasonable price.

We stayed at Ogtong Cave Resort and really enjoyed the peaceful vibe. The villa was nice and spacious, and we loved how the resort is surrounded by lots of green spaces and landscaped areas—it’s really relaxing and quiet. One great perk is their free shuttle service to and from the port, which made things super convenient. Just a heads up though, the resort is a bit far from the main tourist spots and restaurants, so renting a motorcycle is ideal if you plan to go in and out often. If you don’t ride motorcycles, no worries—tricycles are always waiting outside, especially since a lot of day tour guests visit the resort for the cave. Our only small complaint is the pool hours—it’s only open from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM for checked-in guests, and until 6:00 PM for day tour visitors. We wish it stayed open a little later, especially for those staying overnight. Overall, it’s a lovely and chill place to stay if you’re looking for peace, greenery, and a relaxing island experience.

The location is lovely but the facilities have come to some disrepair. We stayed for about 4 days but we didn’t spend time in their pool or near their beach. The staff is clearly not well trained — the whole island is, truthfully. It might be good if the government can sponsor some workshops to improvement the people’s understanding of service in the tourism and hospitality industries.

Stay away from this place if you have kids!! Almost everything here is 'BAWAL'. Kids not allowed in the cave, even if supervised. 🤦🏻 So my wife & I had to take turns going in the cave as one of us had to look after our daughter. Kids are also not allowed in the main pools even if strictly supervised. (5-ft max depth) Kids can only stay in the 'kiddie' pool which is about knee-high deep, has murky water & rough bottom (non-smoothened cement). I hate to be blunt, but the kiddie pool looks like a pool for swine/pigs. 😖 It's also BAWAL to sit on the edge of the pool (?) I mean what's the harm in that?? There are no signages about this weird rule, so I've seen a lot of guests getting yelled at by staff for doing so. I am not blaming the staff for implementing the rules as they are just doing what they're told. But I hope the owner/management should re-consider all these BAWALs. Also, they were charging 400php per person during the Holy Week!! Wow. I've stayed in one of their rooms few years ago & that's the only positive thing I can say about this place. Room was neat & surrounding ambiance was relaxing.

The good 1st: Nice property, amazing views, friendly. The Cave was super amazing and we enjoyed our time there. Rooms are dated but in average condition based on the 1980's finishes. The food in the restaurant was pretty good. Beach Access to water is basically a walking boat ramp in to the ocean. No real beach to speak of. They had a life guard on staff at the pool, cave and ocean which you usually do not see. Since we were hotel guest we were able to use the guest only pool, but the main Pool was under Construction 🚧. The not so good: Water pressure was almost nonexistent in the shower, we advised the front desk staff but staff was not very responsive. They ONLY TAKE CASH (PHP), no cards or Gcash. No hand towels, the toilet seat was broken and has obviously been that way a long time. Everything (pool, cave, Beach) all close by 5:00pm.

Absolutely loved this place even with the pool under construction. Love the cliff atmosphere and so many spots for shade even on beach. The highlight of our trip. Very unique. You can find a flat white sand beach anywhere but where can you experience a place like this. Cave swimming great. Not only a restaurant on site but also a drink shack with great drinks and deserts.
