Arena Island Resort

Resort

I say farewell to this beautiful place. With my heart full and my mind filled with excitement for the plans the Lord has placed in my heart. Our intentions fulfilled: — Spent time with the Big Boss, the Big Guy, my Lord, my number 1, my ONE thing. — Spent time with the most important person in my life, Evan. — Reviewed our priorities in life. Where we are now and where we are going. With God’s grace we will be back again… Thank you miss chit and and Sir fuji for the warm welcome! Thank you for BG and Julianne for taking care of us! Thank you for the boys that help us with the boat rides! Thank you to the friendly staff! And thank you ate Eileen for introducing us to this place! Loved it!

4 days with no worries. Took 4 flights, 2 hour drive and a 30 minute boat ride but well worth it. Private butler, great food and an exceptional staff.

Picture perfect getaway and a huge well kept secret the whole world should know about! Three glorious days with delectable menus and sandy beaches on an island where you walk the whole circumference in a half hour! We had wonderful water activities, massages on the beach, amazing privacy and more! The sail to and from Palawan was soothing and the service first class. Everyone on the island makes your stay unforgettable!

We loved this place. The staff, the island, the food. It was prefect for our family break. My only request would be that they stop using plastic straws.

Looooove this place! Private and relaxing. Nice staff, they'll take care of you and pamper you, especially the kids lahat ng request nila okay. They'll even make a bonfire for you with matching marshmallows for the kids to toast, and nice comfy pillows and banig for u to lay while stargazing! Good food, big serving, maya't maya kakain kayo nice din yung snorkling area dami fish and you'll appreciate the beauty below the seabed! Best part, releasing of baby turtles! Arena Island is a turtle sanctuary, and nice experience not just for the kids but for us adults also ang magrelease ng baby turtles! Biggest plus was privacy, it's like having the island all for you! Own it, you're the boss here!

I've been to Arena Island 4 times (1995, 2011, 2012, 2016). It's a paradise and that's why I keep going back to this small, private, white sandy beach, quiet and my own island every time I stay for a few days. The place is clean, the food are fresh and deliciously prepared, the staff will take care of everything you need. My paradise, my kind of vacation. Thank you and I will be back again and again.

Very exclusive and quiet place. The best place to relax!

Pause and Resume Since we're all living fast and highly fluid lifestyle these days, the idea of staying in an island out of the usual seemed like fantastic concept for me. I found this Arena Island offer on Deal Grocer and took that chance to book and hide away. Though to be honest I was worried I'd get bored because of seclusion, because there was not a lot of people, because I am not used to being not without distractions. I was so wrong; Arena Island turned out to be such a dream getaway. I loved everything about this island. What initially was a worry turned out to be a great discovery. 1. I love that it is all about sustainability. I asked about electricity because in here electricity was only running during 7PM — 7AM, 11AM — 2PM. That means you only get to experience air conditioning between these time. And for the rest of the time, you will be (literally) blown away with fresh sea wind. Who can argue with that awesomeness, really? Not only that! Being in an island, water here is pretty much abundant yet scarce. They have their own desalination facility for instances when they run out of water collected from rain. There are three big blue tanks outside our villa which they use to collect water. Again, how awesome is that! Kudos to the owner for really thinking of integrating the experience with nature! 2. Food is great! It's nothing fancy really. Lutong bahay is what I would call it. And what makes it great is that the food is really comforting.
