Sangat Island Resort is a true gem that far exceeds the expectations set by its photos. The resort's luxury is understated in its images, and it's a delightful surprise to experience it firsthand.

The dining experience was exceptional, arguably the best I had in the Philippines. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate my gluten and dairy allergies, ensuring I could enjoy every meal without any concerns.

For diving enthusiasts, particularly those who have a passion for wrecks, Sangat Island Resort offers a great experience. The wrecks, which are well-preserved with impressive coral growth, provide great underwater exploration. Although visibility was not optimal during my visit, I could still appreciate the wrecks' allure. Inside, you'll find an array of artifacts like tanks and other remnants, adding to the intrigue; they have Japanese gunboats, sub chasers, cargo vessels, and even a seaplane tender. The resort supports technical diving, with the wrecks ranging from shallow surface dives to depths of 42 meters. The furthest wreck is about 20 minutes away, making for manageable and enjoyable dive excursions.

The house reef is a standout feature, ideal for both snorkeling and diving, and provides a great alternative when you want to stay closer to shore. The resort itself is beautifully set, with the entire beachfront to yourself—no other resorts in sight, ensuring a private and serene environment. Just a friendly warning: there are monkeys around, so keep an eye on your belongings!

While the resort does not offer Wi-Fi (just the restaurant/receptions areas) in the rooms and cell service is limited, these minor inconveniences are outweighed by the resort's charm. A particularly charming feature is the mini island at the front of the resort, which has a bar perfect for sunset drinks.

The resort also has an additional private beach area with its own exclusive villa, providing an even more secluded retreat within the resort. This separate beachfront is perfect for those seeking extra privacy and tranquility, offering a serene escape from the main resort area. With its own villa, this secluded beach ensures an intimate and peaceful stay, making it an ideal choice for guests looking to immerse themselves in a truly private paradise.

The service is warm and welcoming, and the staff are truly lovely. The transfer to the resort is straightforward, with a short private boat ride after a 2.5-hour air/land transfer from Cebu.

Additional activities include a kayak tour through the mangroves to the hot springs, which is a unique and enjoyable experience. The resort can also arrange for a masseuse to visit, enhancing the relaxation of your stay.

Overall, Sangat Island Resort offers a unique blend of luxury, excellent dining, and intriguing diving opportunities. I would certainly return and highly recommend it to those looking for a special getaway in the Philippines.
