Pangulasian Island Resort is a beautiful, tranquil getaway surrounded by stunning natural beauty, with lovely beaches and quiet settings. The rooms are mostly well-maintained, and the service from staff is warm and welcoming. However, we were disappointed with the food quality at the main restaurant, which fell short of our expectations for a luxury resort. Also, there are some significant maintenance issues that need addressing, which detracted from our overall experience.

Our vacation at Pangulasian Island Resort was nothing short of spectacular. The pristine beach and excellent snorkeling spots made it a perfect getaway for my family. The spacious beach villa we stayed in provided direct access to the beach, making every moment enjoyable. The staff was incredibly attentive, making sure our needs were met, especially for my picky eater son. A few downsides were the limited variety for dining at certain times and the remote location, which requires some travel but is absolutely worth it for the views and serenity.

Pangulasian is a breathtaking resort that offers a perfect getaway with beautiful surroundings and excellent facilities. The beach villas are spacious and well-equipped, making it easy to relax and enjoy the nature around you. However, the dining experience could use improvements in variety, and the service felt a bit mechanical rather than warm. Overall, it’s a fantastic choice for those looking to unwind in a stunning location.
