“Bluewater Sumilon Island Resort enjoys an enviable location as the only resort on Sumilon Island, granting exclusive access to a marine sanctuary. In my opinion, the architecture reflects local traditions well, and scheduled activities such as fishing and hiking provide plenty to do. However, I noted concerns about the accuracy of the website's depiction of the island and potential issues with amenities.”
