I’ve always love to visit the Phils., I know of a lot of great spots there. Looking at this one is breathtaking as well as the island of Boracay. I’d love to go back there and thanks for providing the site. Might visit next year for a family get away..

Cheers, Jhaz

Hi ate sheena, I’ve been to Caliraya last year and I found the place really interesting. I went there with my friends who brought with them their digicams, laptops, and techie phones but fortunately we did not experience the same thing as Calirayasux did. I found the place secure and enjoyable, maybe you also have to be really careful with your belongings. On the other hand, let’s all hope that nothing like this will happen anymore not only at Caliraya but with other resorts too.

hey, we are seriously considering this place for our family outing this summer because we want my young niece to experience nature. but after reading the ‘horror’ stories, i am inclined to consider some place else.

actually your story is believable because when i called this resort’s office to ask for room rates the girl on the other line seemed to be mataray because when i asked what includes the package she seem annoyed that i asked. i thought she just didn’t heard me that’s why she made me repeat my question…i let it pass until i asked Lagos Del Sol whose staff is more accommodating. Unfortunately, we find the activities included in the package of Lagos too limited for the price. Sad

Our experience was horrifying. Our group divided into two. We availed two cottages for an overnight stay at P1,200/pax. The cottages only had a padlock as it’s lock. The windows didn’t have locks either. Of course we had fun during our first day but on the second day, someone forced their way inside one of our group’s cottage and stole their cellphones (6 to be exact) and a Kenneth Cole Reaction wallet. All items amounted to almost P77,000. Since the cottages were not air conditioned, they left the window open but it had a screen. So, they thought it would be okay to leave it open. They even had the light on inside and outside the cottage. This cottage was beside the common CRs, which was well lit. At around 4 AM they discovered that someone slashed the window screen open, used an improvised ladder in the form of a scaffolding to climb up the window and took all their phones including 2 company phones which was worth P24,000 each. There was no sense of urgency on Caliraya’s part. It was if it was just a usual incident. The Asst. GM even turned off the lights after my friends reported the incident to them. He dismissed them after he called the security guards to check. Any progress happened after 2 hours, when they finally called the General Manager at 6AM. We even had the police investigate and they reported it as a ROBBERY and that the thief used a knife or something sharp to slash the screen. IF I WERE YOU DON’T GO THERE. WE THINK IT WAS AN INSIDE JOB. The security personnel we’re not around when they looked for help at around 430AM. The Asst. GM didn’t even care when they reported that they’re cottage was broken in. And what’s more annoying was that the management gave the cottage to another family. The face on the mother when she learned that they gave her a cottage which was a scene of a crime was priceless. The security was lax thus resulting in this predicament. My friends are now in the process of negotiating the case with SFGC but if they don’t do anything about this, they’re planning on bringing in lawyers if you know what I mean. PLEASE PASS THIS ON.

if you plan to go to caliraya, i suggest you think 100 times. we went there for our office event.. and it was a disappoinment. it was not like the caliraya before.

our group was more than 100pax and caliraya accommodated about 500 more guests. the venue could not accommodate all the groups. the clients were all complaining for the poor service and unaccommodating staff.

the aircon at the function rooms were not working… the hotel rooms had leaks.. the dining halls had flies everywhere.. they had conflicting bookings… the venue was not well-maintained.

the staff were grumpy.. especially renee boy and the assistant manager..

our office will not avail of their services again…

hmm, that would be very risky. We’re not sure if they allow walk-in guests but you can try. I believe it’s better to have a reservation before going there just to be sure.

Good day! asking if we can go directly without a reservation? Thanks
