We found paradise here. This was by far the best place we have ever stayed. Place was exceptionally clean and the views are picturesque. I could have just sat out at the balcony overlooking the bay for days. At night it has a Lake Cuomo feel. Very serene, just like the name says. Serenity
Fantastic villa with an incredible view of the bay, very helpful host/concierge services and great restaurant options (nearby or over the bay via convenient boat options). Would highly recommend.
Ekhaya is one of the best, nicest, most delicious, most beautiful properties I've traveled to in Philippines and across the globe, to be honest. From the moment you enter and being greeted by Arnold and his incredible staff you feel like home. The whole experience in staying at Ekhaya feels bespoke - the food, the room, the attention from the staff. I cannot say enough of how wonderful everything was.
My partner and I stayed at Ekhaya over the New Years, which was amazing as all neighbor properties had loud parties we were welcomed to attend tom yet our sweet Ekhaya was nice and quiet so we could rest after the night out.
Things to do: they offer wonderful island hopping tours - I recommend you making friends with another couple from the resort and go on an adventure together. Or take a complimentary kayak and swim to a little island nearby. Or you can read a book and sip some wine by the pool and watch the sunset. Or walk around a wonderfully curated garden and swing on a hammock.
A MUST DO: get a massage! It was the best massage I've ever got.
The property is great for a couple getaway or for a 4-6 people crew "rent a villa" type of vacation.
All in all - a fantastic experience! Thank you Mel and Arnold and all amazing ladies and gentleman! It was super special to be hosted by you and we cannot wait to come back!
Ekyaha is absolutely amazing. One of its many draws is how private the Busuanga area is which contributes to an unmatched level of relaxation. If you do want to go to Coron town, be prepared for an expensive hour long drive in each direction, which Ekyaha will arrange as there are little to no taxis due to the resorts seclusion.
We stayed November 26-29 and loved it here - the property, food, view, pool...all perfect. But what really sets this property apart from the rest and made it truly exceptional? Joann, Jen, and the rest of the service crew! Oh, Joann, I miss you! Just a beautiful, genuine, kind person. I really can’t say enough about how much I appreciated her.
The only thing that might be considered a We drawback, is you are pretty removed from everything at this location. We chose it specifically because it was quiet and remote. But if you want, Joanne will take care of any transportation or tour arrangement that you wanted. I highly recommend this property and would not hesitate to book again!
Thanks again Ekhaya team! Becky and Kevin
