We visited a number of resorts in Laiya along the road before we ended up in Virgin, including the famed Acuatico (high end yes, with nice pools but hmmm) and Palm Beach (too many people and bad beach front).

Virgin, by far, has the best beach front. Good sand, nice cabanas and though the sand isn't really white, it is probably one of the best that you will get so close to Manila.

The rooms are nice, though the door to the bathroom is a little noisy. The airconditioned rooms doesn't have screens on the windows so you need to keep them closed. Lighting is not so good for reading indoors, but then again, what are you doing indoors when you can be lounging at the beach? Rooms are clean, beds are comfortable and the toilets are clean. No hot water, but it wasn't really an issue.

Service was excellent. The staff were very helpful and attentive.

Two issues:

Bees tend to gather around the outside light of your room once it gets dark. No one got stung but there was a constant worry that someone would (especially one of the children in our group)

Food- out of three meals, which cost 1400 (set buffet) only one meal was good, breakfast. Lunch and Dinner, which did have a variety of food served was not too tasty, and was even salty (or too sweet). Breakfast was really good, so this sort of made up for the two not so good meals. My cousin ordered al a carte and even that was not so good. So its not just the buffet, its the food in general. It just needs a little improvement

I would still recommend to go to Virgin as we really enjoyed the overall experience :)

I was here for 2 nights attending a friend's wedding, so I can't tell you much about the prices, etc.

However, what I can tell is that this place is very well kept, and has a very tranquil setting - the low density of accomodation in the large area makes it feel like you have the whole place to yourself - and the long stretch of beach will give you ample space and privacy.

I noticed a few types of cabanas and casitas, ranging from bamboo ones to some pretty modern looking ones. The ones we got was spacious, with a large bathroom as well. We felt the room was very nicely appointed!

One thing you will definitely not be at this resort is connected. There are no TVs, no phones, and no Internet access. The wireless that was supposed to be available at the pavilion didn't work.

All in, this place is quiet, and helps you get off the grid. I can't tell if it's expensive or otherwise, but unless its extremely highly priced, I'd say you should give this place a try.

Fantastic, quiet and peaceful resort. No music, no screaming people and certainly no Karaoke. Good food, excellent service. Beach is beautiful, sea is crystal clean. Mountainous forest backdrop is beautiful.
Other comments on price and cost of food etc, are unjustified, yes its expensive by Filipino standards but $6 for a club sandwich is pretty good.
Also, in peak season the best rooms/cottages are less than $200 a night, cheapest hotel I've stayed at in a while!
The high prices keeps the noisy rif-raf out thankfully.
If you can't afford it stay elsewhere.

The place is very calm, quiet and relaxing. I was there with my Australian friends and a driver last October and we enjoyed the scenery of this white sand beach, the cottage and amenities are clean enough and some staffs are helpful and some may be not so good. A two-day stay is fun after all, it's just a bit pricey compared to nearby resorts like Laiya White cove.
