La Estancia Busuanga

I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to all the staff of La Estancia! We stayed in La Estancia for three days in April 2024. For anyone who is looking for a relaxing stay - this one is for you! Sadly we got sick coming from El Nido, but I couldn’t have asked for a nicer staff who was so accommodating the whole time. It was also the perfect place to take it easy and be taken care of! They showed real compassion and concern for us all. Thankfully, we got better quickly enough to do an island hopping tour. La Estancia is out of the way from town but places that are worth going to usually are! When we left for Coron, I realised we forgot a few things. They ensured I got them back by going out of their way to send my things via a transport service from Busuanga to Coron. Maraming salamat po.

Had an excellent and unforgettable 3 days at La Estancia Busuanga with family. Service was beyond compare! Staff would serve our meals where we want to eat like in the veranda in our villa, on the covered gazebo over the water or on the dining room. Staff would bring umbrellas to our villa during a downpour so we can still go on outings. The food was excellent --fish was always fresh and the buko juice was to die for! Had some plumbing issues one early morning and staff came right away, within minutes, and fixed the problem. Highly recommend La Estancia Busuanga to everyone every time!

Lucky to have the resort all to our own! The place is fantastic! Fabulous sunrise. Excellent amenities. Crystal clear seawaters. Highly efficient and responsive staff. Gourmet food a bit small servings. Kayaked around with a staff paddler! Went through a mangrove forest on the way to the private Lolo’s beach and enjoyed freshly picked buko or young coconut! Then a relaxing time at the swimming pool. I highly recommend this resort.

This is probably the most naturally beautiful resort that we have ever stayed in. The views out to sea are genuinely breathtaking and set within the beautiful garden setting of the resort. The sea is lovely and still allowing even the more middle aged traveler to kayak around the mangroves in blissful silence. The pool is relatively small but perfectly formed and perhaps one of the most warn, pleasant places to wile away some time. The food and drink offering is quite good, although at times there were a number of core ingredients unavailable that prevented the full menu being available. Staff are pleasant and service laid back in line with chilled out environment. It is probably worth noting that the lovely setting does come at the cost of accessibility for less able visitors.

Our 7-day experience here is beyond words. I love how the resort is situated in a quiet part of the island away from the hustle and bustle of Coron Town. Felt like we were in paradise as every corner of the resort is a gem on its own. Their Pier has a lounge area where guests could hang out. After such a tiring day spent travelling, we spent our first night stargazing here. The view here is so picturesque esp with the lights off as you can see the stars so clearly with the silhouette of mountains and sea surrounding you. Our room was superb as well. Perfect for big groups who'd still want a sense of privacy but still stay together as it’s built adjacently, well thought of! Although wifi was unstable, there were lots of activities available to do around the resort to keep us busy. We went kayaking to explore the nearby mangroves and beach. Booked a tour to explore several islands nearby including the beautiful Black Island. This one's our favorite as it is so raw yet still beautiful. Crystal clear waters, white sand, a huge cave to explore. La Estancia was kind to arrange a lunch for us during the tour. Food here is sumptuous. Even the food back at resort's resto was great and the menu, well thought of. Food is reasonably priced considering the quality and serving size of the food we have tried. La Estancia is a place for those who prefer a quiet vacation away from the noise and crowd. With their staff's exceptional service, we felt taken care of. Will definitely recommend!
