Vellago Resort - Panalanoy

Be warned, the bar is overly expensive, and not very good. Every customer I spoke to agreed the cocktails were very poorly made, and overly priced. The bar girl also tried to lie to me, and short change me p50. It’s not a lot of money, but its dishonest

Absolutely awesome! Great location, best staff, delicious food, great cocktails! Having breakfast at your balcony with ocean-view and/or dining at the beach is unforgettable.

I would like start by applauding everyone who works at the Vellago Resort. Their service (on every level was perfect. The staff make you feel like you're their first and only guest. We didn't only leave our seven day stay with priceless memories, we left with deep gratitude for meeting and getting to know the staff who made us feel at home. Location: You won't find a better view in the world. Being located on 7 Commandos beach, everywhere you look is white sand, exotic plants and vegetation, region specific wildlife, emerald ocean and magnificent limestone rock formations unique to this area. It will exceed your expectations. Food and service: We loved being served breakfast each morning on our private balcony over looking the water. Dinner was served in the beach bar and on the beach with a beautiful table setup that varied each evening. The service, food and drink were exceptional. The menu offers something for everyone. We particularly loved the fresh fish (the mackerel was superb , fried calamari, pizza and chicken wings (which are not typical pub wings... , and the cocktails and local beer were wonderful. Accommodation: Our room was very comfortable and well equipped with A/C, coffee machine, fresh water, mosquito netting and wifi (to list a few . The bed was great, the shower was perfect and the room service was on point. Each day our room was discreetly cleaned and setup, and the same thing happened in the evening with the turndown service. Much appreciated! The only thing we felt we could have used more of was room to unpack our clothes, but this won't matter to everyone it depends on how much you bring and how long you stay. Activities: We took the island hoping Tour A (a must that was organized by the resort with tour guides who are local to the island, which added a level of comfort and trust when doing certain activities. We will be back. We loved everything we did and everyone we met. Thank you Vellago Resort!

We visited the restaurant for lunch so the review only reflects the food and not the resort itself (which looks amazing). Further, our server was really friendly, kind and very attentive. We ordered a pizza and were served what resembled a brittle tortilla with square government cheese on top. Given the quality of the resort and the high restaurant prices, the food was not nearly satisfactory or to the standard we expected.

Vellago resort is definitely the best place we have ever stayed in on our travels. Our room “ beach villa” was like a dream, so wonderful! The view was to die for. The staff were so amazing and friendly, specially Herwin who made our special night even more exceptional! We dream of coming back to this paradise and enjoy the sunset at this gorgeous place
