Manami Resort

The prettiest and most comfortable stay. Food was terrific! Got help from Danilo and Mark for our activities :) I would definitely love to come back!

Manami life in Manami Resort. True to its name, Manami resort is indeed a beautiful place in Sipalay, *****s Occidental. Our 4–5 hours of land trip from Bacolod City is totally worth it.  We're welcomed with smiles, a refreshing sugar cane juice that relieves us of the heat from our trip and shell bracelets for each of us. My family and I relaxed during the afternoon and enjoyed a scrumptious dinner - from freshly caught fish turned into Sweet n Sour Lapu lapu dish to their signature Kinilaw de *****s.  Breakfast the following day was a feast! It energized us as we explored the inland property Bat Cave. Cave spelunking was new to us, but it was indeed an enjoyable adventure. Kuya Danilo and Kuya Mark joined and assisted us all throughout the cave adventure. They were very patient and caring to ensure that we would enjoy ourselves safely. Don't miss taking a photo of the heart-shaped opening. The trekking and rappelling experience was so awesome that our aunt and uncle decided to join us to exit by the sea and not go back through the main entrance. Sir Gey also monitored us while we were in the cave.  The tide was high that my family decided to go back via the 'balsa' while I swam beside.  We had a scheduled boat tour after lunch. From 2:30 pm, Sir Gey suggested having it by 1:00 pm. Kuya Mark is our boat captain and Kuya Danilo joined us. Other staff from Experience Center also assisted us (we have 6 senior citizens in the family) and everything went well. No need to worry about the equipment as they prepared everything - kayak, paddle board, floaties and goggles.  We were advised not to go to Tinagong Dagat due to waves. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the Marine Sanctuary at Campomanes Bay. The boat ride was smooth! No loud engines nor bumpy ride.  The crystal clear water allowed us to see fishes and corals from the boat. For more close encounters, we tried snorkeling, kayaking and paddleboarding. Refreshments were also given on the boat, a cold towel and mist spray. An afternoon well spent. My family enjoyed the boat tour.  Watching sunset on the Helipad is a bonus experience for our family.  Cuchinillo awaits us for dinner together with other seafood dishes that we requested. Lingaw staff took care of us very well, very attentive to the needs of everyone. From Front Office, F&B, Experience Center, Housekeeping, Gardeners, Security - everyone always greets us with a smile on their faces. Manami resort is not just a beautiful place, but also a beautiful experience for my family.

"I had the pleasure of staying at Manami Resort recently, and I will never forget it. The staff went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and satisfied as soon as I arrived. Together with the outstanding service, the opulent lodging made my visit genuinely unforgettable. Exploring the area was a breeze thanks to the hotel's excellent location, and I can't wait to visit Manami Resort again soon. Strongly advised! "

MANAMI RESORT is one of the best resorts in SIPALAY CITY, NEG. OCC. It has a wide area and a unique design. It also has beautiful views and fresh air. Their room is beautiful, clean and spacious. And when it comes to their food, you can't get hung up on it and it's so delicious.

One of the best resort i've visited, The scenery was beautiful and it was a relieve to walk in such a peaceful and quiet environment. The view of the sunset was mesmerizing. The food was exquisite. The staffs were so friendly. Loved the interior design of the resort. The room was so cozy, from the balcony we could view the sea and feel the cool breeze. Truly a manami experience!

Grab a cuppa before reading. It is a bit long. We arrived from Bacolod airport and availed of the transport from the resort. It was a comfortable ride. Our small children were able to sleep because the seats recline. Its a long drive but the driver lets you stop for food or if you need to relieve yourself. The return van had a different seat style so what you get is not consistent but it was comfortable enough and both drivers took care while driving us to our destination. At the resort, the staff were welcoming and kind. They showed us to our 2 bedroom villa and explained the controls. It is absolutely stunning. Love the details and space. So much height to allow for ventilation. Having that pool connected to our villa was amazing because our children were able to swim and play when it was getting too hot at the beach. The pool had freshwater so no need to worry about chlorine exposure and was filtered every 2 hours which was fab. The furnishings were well thought out and was enough for our family of 6 without feeling cramped. Our favourite was the sofa in the living room. From our balcony, we had a fabulous view of the sun setting each day. You could ask to be brought up to the helipad are to watch the sunrise. Food: bfast was included in our room booking and it was great to see that they rotate the food choice. I think it is varied enough to satisfy even the picky eaters. For lunch and dinner, we found it amusing that the kids menu was enough to feed 2 kids. Give it a go if you don't believe me. There is a catch of the day board if you do not fancy eating off the menu. Highly recommend steamed lapu lapu. Since we stayed for 6 days, there was enough variation in food choices. If you love a drink, they do happy hour as well. The passion fruit mojito was our favourite drink. Boat tours: no expense was spared when they crafted the lancha 1. It is extremely spacious, the decking is made of a rubber material which was non slip and was soft on the feet and knees if kneeling down. The cooked food consisted of a variety of fish and meats and was served on the boat. Our tour guide Iver was really great from start to end. They have a marine biologist named Alex who snorkelled with us as we saw an abundant variety of marine life. If you have any questions about what you see, she knows the answers to them. You have to be careful with the coral because you can accidentally damage them as some were quiet tall? I mean I am 154cm and sometimes I could feel my foot grazing one so I had to quickly swim a bit further away just to make sure I dont cause any damage. Lancha 1 has the capacity to carry kayaks and a paddle board which you are free to use if snorkelling isnt your thing. I believe the resort is developing their scuba diving experience so keep an eye out for that one. The beachfront: very shallow and grassy for sure but it was great since you could see fish even at close proximity to the shore. You don't see that in Boracay. The resort provid

One of the best resorts we've been to in the Philippines and possibly one of the best resorts in the world! That says a lot since we’ve been to a bunch of places all over and this one stands out. I think what sets this resort apart is the people that work there. Everyone from the Front office to the Experience team and the Dining/restaurant team was extraordinary! It made our stay there extra special. The people that work here made us feel at home with their ou**ost hospitality. The personal touch that they gave with their service made it special. Some of the names that stood out from our stay are: Alex (The Hotel marine biologist). She took care of my Dad who stepped on a sea urchin, she checked on him throught out our stay and reassured us about the situation. The experience team: Yver, Danilo, Mark, Sir G, Cristuto, Chris, Jonel and mac mac; they made our experience with the beach, the boat ride and the bat cave spelunking smooth and relaxing. Patricia and Stephanie from the FO. One lady from the restaurant, I forgot her name; but she deserves a recognition as she took our request to have grilled shrimp and grilled chicken inasal served after our boat tour even though it is not on the menu. We got an amazing view from our Ocean View suite. The room is spacious, clean, comfortable and well designed. Internet connection is very reliable in any area within the hotel. We got service with a smile from all the personnel. Breakfast food is excellent. Definitely a place that's worth coming back to.

A cozy secluded place, of close to perfect blend of nature and the upgrades of refined living. Our stay was highlighted by the amenitiies of modern life, warm personalized service and great food amid a serene backdrop. A return trip will be definite.

Hi! Kudos to everyone especially for all the staffs ( Nico and to nong Danilo) for giving us the best experience. The food and the accommodation was perfect! The best luxury experience in *****s so far. Surely we’ll back soon with the rest of the familiy! manamilife
