Popotan Island hotel rooms a the Independent

"The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent - great family-style Filipino fare. View of the river was unmatched. For a cheaper, slightly older hotel, we couldn't fault anything. "

"careful of the sugar/black ants, unavoidable but definitely no open food in the room and will be fine, they don't bite at least. other than that it was great. nice and quiet and a good escape from the city for a while. island hopping was reasonably priced and shorter boat ride away compared to other resorts. diving courses and tours offered for both novice and experienced divers which are excellent."

"A beautiful place to stay, stunning visually & so beautifully comfortable!! We loved our stay her."

"The staff made the stay totally enjoyable. "

"I stayed here while diving with Pirate Divers. There is a dive shop associated with the resort but I did not use it. Picked up every morning from the dock to go diving. "

"Fantastic and budget friendly. Rooms are great. Very clean and well equipped. Restaurant has a great menu and the chef is excellent. Infinity pool is to die for. You’re can be accessed from the report. The lodge is isolated, so be prepared to eat in the area or the hotel across the way! "

"Great stay, awesome staff, quality food and drinks. Air con the only thing missing but fans get you by "

"We liked quiet spot with water front views. Room's we're quirky and open, but would have appreciated air conditioning and WiFi extender to the room. Also no coffee available 24/7. This would be nice. And mistakes made with invoicing in hotels favour with no apology "

"The staff is super friendly and helpful. The place is meticulously clean. It is very quiet, and everything is within walking distance. Airport transportation was smooth and arranged by the hotel staff. Port is 5 min walk away to hire a boat to go to magical islands within 20-30 minutes for snorkeling, swimming or seeing the rock formation and amazing nature. We would be repeating our visit here!"
