    “My favorite Beach in Puerto Galera”

    We've been to Puerto Galera before, but I can honestly say this is where we finally found the relaxation we've been looking for. Top-notch staff and service — they were extremely accommodating from the moment I booked the hotel until we got home. I even messaged them after our trip because I forgot to tip the boatman, and they helped me coordinate the money transfer. Even late at night, they were still responding to my questions. They were so pleasant, never snobbish, always smiling, and ready to assist. I love that! The facilities and the room — absolutely lovely! We didn’t expect that it would be more affordable to book a 2-bedroom villa instead of two separate couple rooms for the four of us. Everything was spotless — the sheets, fridge, table, and not a trace of dust. The only minor issue we noticed was that the second floor of the 2-bedroom villa gets a bit hot at noon since it’s at the top and has glass walls. But there were no insects or mosquitoes. Plus, there were hot and cold showers and lots of tissue! Love it! As for the pool, you’ll definitely enjoy it — it has a sea view! I have no complaints; we were all very happy with it. Even at the beachfront — I used to think white sand beaches were the best, but we found a hidden gem here in Sabang Beach. The price is the same as those in white sand areas, but this place isn’t overcrowded. Just a heads-up: if you want to go to White Beach for a food trip, the tuk-tuk fares are expensive. That’s just how it is unless you bring your own car or rent a motorcycle. One more thing that really touched us — the nearby community around the hotel is full of kind and friendly people. They greet you, the streets are well-lit, nothing scary, and no one will bother you. It’s so peaceful. Shout out to Casalay! I have so much more to say. The front desk staff, Adelyn, was incredibly kind, as well as the boatman who assists guests, the guy who serves at the restaurant, the boat operator, and the one who cleaned the pool. Haaay — we are definitely coming back! I love their welcome drinks!!!!

    “A Relaxing Getaway at Casalay Beach Resort ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

    We had a wonderful time at Casalay! The place is secluded, which makes it perfect for those looking to unwind and escape the hustle and bustle of the city. The white sand beach is beautiful, clean, and very peaceful — ideal for a relaxing vacation. The staff were all friendly, helpful, and made us feel very welcome. We appreciated how secure and well-maintained the entire resort was. It truly felt like a private paradise. We genuinely had a great experience and will definitely come back. Highly recommended for anyone in need of a serene and refreshing break.

    “Things”

    Room was not really that clean at all. And food was not that great for its price. But aside from that, everything else is amazing especially the front desk. They assist in everything with a smile and makes you feel they are there for all your needs. Shout out to Cathy, the other lady that works part time that day(wife of the cook), and the short haired lady behind the counter who was superb in providing great customer experience. The beachfront is not suitable for swimming. But if you want an escape from the crowd, this is your place. They offer boat pick up and drop off during arrival and departure. If they improve food quality, like the adobo( very tough meat, hard to chew) and the squid( overcooked) - and clean the rooms thoroughly, I wouldnt have any complains at all since room and food is on the pricey sad for locals. Other than that, they make sure you are taken care of.

    “Very friendly staff, excellent service, serene location”

    Very accommodating and friendly staff (except for that Indian guy who could care less, but I think he's from PADI so...). They provide excellent service and make sure that you're well taken care of. Location is great because it's serene and away from all the noise, though I rated it 4-stars because you would need to take a boat to & from the resort to go places around Puerto Galera. But again, the staff are very helpful to arrange this for you for a minimal fee. The boat ride from Muelle port to the resort only takes less than 10 minutes. The beach right in front of the resort may not be ideal for swimming but it's great for kayaking (free of charge) and snorkeling because the water is so clear and it's bustling with sea creatures. Getting to your villa may take some effort as you need to climb up several steps (at least they inform you in their website so you'll know what to expect). Place is very clean and relaxing. There are mosquitoes though, but they provide insect killer lamps in your room (we had 2). I think it would be best to bring a repellent lotion or spray to make sure. Our room has a private pool but it wasn't working when we stayed, not sure if it's included in the amenities or not. But they also have a common pool that they clean regularly. The food tastes great but I wish they'd have more selection of not-so-common meals and also more grilled seafood choices. Overall, with a few minor kinks, we had an awesome and relaxing stay. And kudos again to the staff for providing excellent service!

    “Worth it!”

    This is a paradise. Away from crowded place, where you can relax and enjoy. Foods is amazing specially their nachos which we ordered for 6x i think lol. This is a place where you doesn't need to go out; pool, beachfront, bar(they also have happy hour that we enjoyed too), and again their food 😋 . Staff is nice and accommodating, rooms is nice and clean and also the whole resort. Will definitely going back and will recommend this resort to my friends. Thanks Casalay. —Shane&Camille
