We went to Olango island to visit the bird sanctuary. The villa we rented was great. Stylish design, clean, quiet. The staff was polite and very friendly. I recommend to go diving early morning because after around eleven lots of boats from nearby Mactan will be at the diving location. The sanctuary is awesome. For bird watching, go there during...

I stayed at this resort for 3 nights, and found it to be very friendly, but basic. It is a miracle it was built however, and it does employ locals from the island so that is a good reason to support it. The website certainly makes it sound more plush than it really is and this is my main gripe..... More

We had a one night stay last January 29, 2012 with my wife and 2 year old daughter on this resort without knowing what to expect. The resort is not really as superb compare to some Hotel beach resort lining the Mactan area. The villas are quite unique without cable TV but very classy. resort goal is for the client... More

When arriving in Talima Beach Villas the stay was nothing but perfect. It's the perfect relaxation to escape from the hustle of city life. Just in front of the resort is a fish sanctuary perfect for diving, the sea is immaculate and the fish approachable and friendly. The staff treat you as family and look after you to their fullest....
