The resort is very well managed by the German owner and his welcoming staff. There is a small swimming pool in a charming garden and you can swim out to the reef. Access is easy - less then an hour from Cebu airport with taxi and private boat, a little longer using the hourly public ferry and Hubble hubbles.

"On the island remember two important thngs (1) the Bike and (2) the Boat " and with this friendly advise from an Olango Island resident I boarded the boat ride for the three most peaceful days on this beautiful Island. The resort itself is set in one corner and on arrival one gets the first of the stunning views of... More

I booked Talima at the last minute hoping for a place by the sea and my friends & I were bowled over by how peaceful, beautiful and perfect Talima was. We extended our one night's stay to three nights and I completed my diving course with Mokie who is great & did everything he could to help me finish my... More

I had told my bf about Talima resort whom I was recommended to check out. I never reached it 4 years ago during my first trip so we made sure to make a clean getaway from the city for some R+R. A short boat ride from Mactan, hop on a motor trike for about 10 minutes on an island full... More

Our stay at Talima Beach Resort was just awesome. The staff is really friendly and helpful. The food is delicious. The very clean pool is a very good place to hang around and to enjoy the sun. The beach beds offered a good opportunity to relax too. The pictures on the website live up to their promise. Very clean and... More

A good alternative to Mactan resorts the diving was good but for $75/night this is not really good value.

You can't go wrong staying at this resort! What I like best about it is its privacy, away from the hustle and bustle of your typical beach resort. It also seems to be the ONLY major resort on the island with a website and a booking system. You can get to the Talima Beach Villas by ferry (you can take... More

VALUE 6/10 (For your P250 you'll get to use just the pool and the rather worn out cottages. I don't see a good value to that and they don't have WiFi.) SERVICE 7/10 (The lady behind counter was warm enough in welcoming us and answers to our needs well. The food was even delivered in a short notice.) CLEANLINESS 8/10... More

We went to Olango island to visit the bird sanctuary. The villa we rented was great. Stylish design, clean, quiet. The staff was polite and very friendly. I recommend to go diving early morning because after around eleven lots of boats from nearby Mactan will be at the diving location. The sanctuary is awesome. For bird watching, go there during... More
