Polaris Resort is a well-appointed mid-range resort that is perfect for a couple or family. The owner Maria was very helpful to me before my arrival, holding my reservation despite lack of deposit and then moving it around when my plans changed. My car and boat transfer from Tagbilaran was hassle-free and, given that it was a roughly 90-minute journey,... More

Wonderful place, can't think of anything wrong about it. I liked all the ameneties they had for my two-year-old daughter. Diving is great there (check out the cute pygmy sea horse or the strange pegasus). It's also worth checking out the island by foot. Buy some snacks along the way to support the local economy!

We went there cause my boyfriend's friend recommended the place...It was a bit of a travel from Cebu. To avoid hassle, we use the resort pick up service. There were 5 of us on the way there, so it was ok price..However, its a bit pricey if its only two of you travelling..or one..as it cost 5300 pesos. But its... More

Been here twice and longing to go back to retire for rest of my days in a tree house and hammock and superb service. If it's relaxing on a remote idyllic island you're looking for then this is the place you're looking. No more to say.

We came to this resort to take a break from our more 'rough' travelling/diving trip through the Philippines, and I am happy we did, as it was the most relaxing part of our 3.5 week trip. There are actually 3 resorts to stay in on Cabilao, right next to each other, but Polaris seems to be the best choice by... More

I just came back from the resort with my girlfriend. We had fantastic experience staying with Polaris. The resort is managed by Germans and well organized. We had sea view room, it's so nice to watch sunset. The room is clean and big enough. No TV set and WIFI make us can 100% concentrate on holiday. Foods and drinks were... More

I can’t remember that somebody in the Philippines treated us like a Royal Family. That’s right, at the Polaris Beach and Dive Resort you will be treated like a Queen and a King... and this from the personal pick-up of Franz and Maria's Bancas in Argao, south of Cebu City, as to the daily meals prepared by Maria's Crew with...

The general staff and and scuba staff were very nice, helpful and made us feel welcome, from making the reservation through booking your way off the island. As other mention, this is for folks looking for out of the way and quiet. It had good snorkeling which was a plus as I dove in the morning and snokeled with my... More

Very good food, beautiful place, great accommodation (even the treahouses,) excellent diving. Make sure you bring enough cash, though. When we booked, they told us they took credit cards but failed to mention that if you pay plastic, they'll slap on a 6 % surcharge. No ATM in the area. We traveled to Cebu from there, and decided to take... More
