HAYAHAY is loosely translated as being in a relaxing / carefree state. My wife, I and surely my little kid (2 yr old) agrees that this is what we experienced on our 5 night stay on the resort. I was initially worried that we might end up bored given the length of stay (5 nights) and that the resort has... More

My wife & I spent three nights at Isla Hayahay as part of our honeymoon in the Philippines. Co-proprieter Ara picked us up at the Tagbilaran airport (I think normally they would send a driver). Isla Hayahay is an excellent place to relax as it is away from large towns and has a variety of comfortable places to sit or... More

We booked 5 rooms here for two nights and it's a good thing we didn't stay longer. If we had we would have needed bigger clothes because the food here was fantastic! Prawns the size of dinner plates, fresh local fish done a number of different ways, fruit, vegetables, pancakes. Mmm I'm hungry just writing this review. The rooms were... More

We spent 6 relaxing days at Isla Hayahay. The meals were great and it was nice to breathe fresh air after Manila and Jakarta. Our 6 year old kayaked and snorkeled for the first time. Both our children (the other is 4 years old) caught their first fish even though they were very small. Paul and the staff were very... More

We had a hard time getting on this holiday, really, mainly because of weather. Our flight from Legaspi to Cebu was cancelled due to heavey rains. The earliest we can get on another flight this route was 2 days later - we had a 3-night reservation at Isla Hayahay. My sister-in-law was in constant touch with Paul, via text, on... More

This was our first trip to the Philipines and so we asked some of our friends for recommendations. Two families had been to Isla Hayahay and gave it 2 thumbs which was great for us. We took the 3 night 4 day package which included meals, tours and tons hospitality and conversation with Paul, Ara and the staff. When a... More

Paul and Ara Vass welcomed us at the airport and from the moment we started to speak in the car I couldn't help thinking that the success of any hotel is based on the quality of the human contact they provide for their guests. From start to finish Paul and Ara and all their staff were kind, helpful, polite but... More
