    Stayed 3 nights in May 2026

    “Exceptional”

    Casalay gave us a truly memorable stay as we celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary. 🤍 All our requests were met, and the staff were very accommodating and attentive throughout our visit. The food was superb, and every meal was enjoyable. Our room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with an amazing view—especially the sunset, which was absolutely breathtaking. The spa experience was also the best and added so much to our relaxation. The pool was clean and well-maintained, adding to the overall comfort of our stay. The resort is also accessible via both land and boat, which makes it convenient. We also tried kayaking, which was a great experience, though it was high tide at the time so we got a little scared, but still fun overall. Overall, it was a perfect and peaceful getaway we will always remember.

    Reviewed June 01, 2026

    Dear Kristel, Thank you so much for choosing Casalay Boutique Villas & Dive Resort to celebrate such a beautiful milestone as your 2nd wedding anniversary! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your stay with us was perfect, peaceful, and memorable. I will gladly pass along your wonderful compliments to our kitchen team for the superb meals, and to our spa therapist and front office staff for keeping you well-looked after. There really is nothing quite like catching that breathtaking Sabang sunset from the rooms! We're glad you braved the high-tide kayak adventure and still had fun with it! Next time you visit, we would love to welcome you back for another anniversary (or just a relaxing getaway) and perhaps show you some of our peaceful low-tide hidden spots. Wishing you both many more years of love and beautiful adventures together! Warmest regards, Gaurav

    “Highly recommended!”

    We love everything here at Casalay resort. The rooms, the food, the facilities, the nature…and most of all, the staff. As divers, we had a great time diving, both landscape and macro dives. Special thanks to our dive leaders, Lowie and Gilbert, for making every dive remarkable. We really enjoyed every moment. We will surely be back soon. ❤️

    “ A Hidden Gem for a Relaxing Island Getaway”

    I had a wonderful stay at Casalay Boutique Villas & Dive and left feeling genuinely recharged and well-rested. It was one of those places where you can truly slow down, relax, and get a good night’s sleep. What stood out the most was the exceptional service from the staff. Everyone was attentive, accommodating, and made sure we had a great experience from start to finish. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a refreshing welcome drink while we relaxed in their dining area as our room was being prepared. They also offer a FREE boat transfer from Muelle Port at 12:30 PM—just coordinate with them in advance. Their Facebook Messenger is incredibly responsive, and communication throughout the booking process was seamless. Booking through Agoda was also completely hassle-free. One thing to note is that payments made via credit card have an additional 3–4% surcharge. From what I understand, this seems to be common practice on the island, so it’s best to bring enough cash if you can. We booked what turned out to be a promotional 2-bedroom room through Agoda, even though we were only a couple. It was a great deal! The only minor inconvenience was that the toilet was separate from the bedroom, so if you need to use it in the middle of the night, you’ll likely encounter a few mosquitoes along the way. Speaking of which, definitely bring mosquito repellent when visiting the island—there are quite a lot of mosquitoes at night. The room itself had a very calming atmosphere. The warm tones, dim lighting, and cozy ambiance made it incredibly easy to unwind and sleep well. For the food, I highly recommend ordering the seafood. The Tanigue (Spanish Mackerel) was my favorite—fresh and perfectly cooked. The Sinigang was also delicious, with just the right balance of sourness that feels comforting and very Filipino. They also have a Happy Hour starting at 4:00 PM, which made for a perfect sunset session with great drinks and an amazing view. During check-out, the reception staff even helped us check the boat schedules going to Balatero. We eventually changed our plans and decided to stay another night in Sabang instead, and they were kind enough to help us arrange a boat to our next hotel. That level of service really made a difference. Overall, everything—from booking, communication, transportation, dining, and hospitality—was smooth and well-organized. If you’re looking for a peaceful place to relax in Puerto Galera, I would definitely recommend Casalay Boutique Villas & Dive. I’d happily stay here again.

    “The best!!!!!!”

    I cannot stress how wonderful our stay was in Casalay. Staff is so helpful, room is spacious and classy, wonderful view from our room, food is good, relaxing pool and beach beds. not too pricey for the kind of service we got. The only thing i need they need to improve is transparency of how to get to the room. We had to take 200 steps of stairs to our room. But overall, the best trip so far for my small family this year.

    “Very good.”

    The cleanliness of the room could be improved, as there were quite a few bugs, but everything else was great. The room was spacious, and the service was friendly. There are beautiful coral reefs and sea turtles right across from the hotel. I stayed for five days and had a great time every day. I will definitely book again next time. The hotel offers free transportation, but using the boat is quite expensive, costing 300 pesos each time.
