The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Sumptuous Buffets

During my stay, the food was definitely a highlight! The lunch buffet included an array of delicious options, and by dinner, the selection was even better. Chef Jeric ensured that each meal was fulfilling, even jokingly warning us that he would make us 'fat' from all the delectable offerings. His friendly nature added warmth to our dining experience, making meal times something to look forward to!

Stunning Water Cottages

I stayed in a water cottage, and it was simply amazing. The view from the balcony overlooking the bay was lovely, and the room was equipped with modern amenities including a comfy bed and a spacious bathroom. The attention to detail in the decor and comfort made it a lovely place to relax after our day of activities.

Relaxing Signature Massage

After a long day of exploring, I treated myself to Apulit's Signature Massage, which included a wonderful warm foot wash. Even though the ambiance could be improved, the massage itself was perfect. I left the spa feeling rejuvenated and ready for another day of adventure, making it a great addition to my stay.

Adventurous Activities Galore

I truly enjoyed the variety of activities offered. My favorites included snorkeling in the vibrant house reef and rappelling down the limestone cliffs with Benjie as our guide. Each experience was well-organized and led to very nice views and memories, making it evident that Apulit is perfect for those looking to combine leisure with adventure.

My stay at the resort was a mixed bag. The setting is absolutely beautiful with clear waters and amazing marine life right from our balcony. However, the accommodations left a lot to be desired, as the amenities were not well maintained, and the dining experience was quite repetitive. The service was a highlight, with very attentive staff making the stay enjoyable, but the overall value for money didn't match the price we paid.
