Buri Resort in Puerto Galera, Philippines

We haven't seen much reviews on the Buri Resort in Puerto Galera. For those who are planning to visit a resort or Buri in specific, here is our review which may help. The Buri Resort was very secluded...peaceful, clean and friendly. Overall, it was a nice place to relax and get away from the loud noise. Although, if you wanted to go into town or do activities you would have to take a boat. We, actually, decided to experience night life in Sabang which is on the other side of the island. To get there, we took a small boat at 9:00PM. The ride was kind of scary considering it was pitch dark and the waves were not easily seen.

Room: Very nice and clean. In the Villa we stayed in, the shower had a glass wall on one side. Don't worry, the other side was covered by bamboo window covering.

Food: The prices for their meals weren't too bad. The meals ranged from 300-550Php, bottled water=30Php, sodas=60Php. Portion was a bit small. I ordered a Cheeseburger with Fries and, literally, got about 5-7 pieces of fries. We counted them each time we ordered.

Service: All were great except it takes a while to get your food.

Staff: Kind and Friendly. No complaints.

PROS: Very nice and clean rooms. Relaxing atmosphere. Friendly staff.
CONS: Last call for food was 9:00PM and alcohol at 10:00pm. Portion on the food was a bit small.

The house from the show "Gagambino".

I never thought I would be stepping in the house used in a show/movie. This gigantic house was played as Jean Garcia's house in the show "Gagambino" which belongs to Kuya Neil's Aunt and Uncle...Tita Lulu/Bapang Miling. This house had everything...Pool, Full-size Basketball Court, PingPong, Billiards and a Bahay Kubo.
