We chose to stay for 10 days in this little paradise in Southern Leyte for our honeymoon. Looking for a mixture of diving and relaxing, I have to say it was fantastic. We dived most days in the morning with a partner dive operator (Peter's) and were ferried to and from the dive shop to allow us to do so... More

We have stayed at a few resorts in the Philippines now and this by far is the best resort we have stayed at that is locally owned. The rooms are clean and modern, the food is wonderful (worth the half board). So many S.E.Asian hotels try to build a menu with a little of everything and in turn get nothing... More

The most is already said by other reviewers. I fully agree:-) Stayed here for a week in the beginning og April with my family (wife and kids 3 + 6). The quality of the service, rooms, facilities and food is above what you usualy find in the Philippines. Equal to upscaled resorts in Boracay, but without the crowd and size.... More

Thank you so much for your detailed feed back which we find very helpful and encouraging. When we offer tours for snorkeling and, seasonally, for watching whale sharks, we too have to hire crewed motor boats at the local commercial rate. We are amazed to learn that you hired in Bohol an all-day crewed boat with fuel costs for only... More

The resort is small and cosy with a lovely pool and access to a beautiful coved beach which is very private and secluded.... More

We stayed here for a week over New Year/ January. Everyone at Padre Burgos Castle made us feel very welcome. The food was amazing (thanks Delia!) and always overcatered to what we could eat! The location is just stunning - at the end of the peninsual, with it's own private beach - unfortunately when we were there, it was a... More

7 of us, my girlfriend, her family and myself spent 3 days in this distant Paradise. Getting there is pretty easy; going by Jeepney and tricycle (taxi if you come from Tacloban). Most people in the area knows the place so its not a hassle to find even though its located away from any cities and villages. Its a great... More

It was a long 3 hour car ride journey from the airport at Talcoban to reach the remote and southern most part of Leyte where Padre Burgos Castle Resort was tucked away. But that was all soon forgotten once we arrived at the quaint and cosy resort of 5 rooms managed by husband and wife: David and Delia. My partner... More

My wife & I spent three nights at the Padre Burgos Castle Resort as part of our honeymoon in the Philippines. This may well be the most luxurious place on Leyte. For a young, non-wealthy couple it was a bit of a splurge to stay there, but we got a very good value for our money. Before and after we... More

My wife and I spent 6 nights at PBC in January 2012. It lived up to all the expectations of excellent food, good service and comfort in a superb setting. We did the kayaking, snorkelling and also swimming with the whale sharks which were plentiful. It was an amazing experience. There were little niggles at first impression. Like the drinking... More
