Apo Island Beach Resort

Top choice


Tucked away in a secluded cove, this refined and peaceful dive resort claims Apo's best white-sand beach. The Spanish Mission rooms and cottages have fan and cold-water bathroom. The simple menu has good Filipino food (dishes P175 to P210). During high tide, it's accessed via steps leading up past the nearby Liberty's resort – or through the surf and a rocky gorge.

It has the same well-regarded owner and operation as Coco Grove Beach Resort on Siquijor and Coco Grande Hotel in Dumaguete.
