Worst place ever
Pros: The hotel is beautiful. Cons: there is nothing around the hotel, you are isolated, which is good in some cases. However, they knows that you can only eat at their restaurant. For this reason, prices are really too high. They charge everything and the prices are too high since there are not taxi or tricycle or restaurant. There is no internet in the hotel, even if they say that there is. They have some tours, twice the price of coron. Never again, wasted money.

Accommodation, pool and staff were great, as were the sunsets. Private island tour was excellent. Beach isn’t good to swim in but we used a kayak. Food poor and no other options nearby as so remote. No atmosphere in the restaurant/bar, could have done with some background music. Everyone left straight after dinner and the staff were waiting for us to go so they could go home. The owner also sat at the bar smoking all day. He seemed pleasant but didn’t interact with guests. Saying this we loved our relaxing stay at cashew grove and if the food was better would go back.

Nice but...
They stay was lovely. A few pointers travelers might want to know, this resort is literally in the middle of no where, so the resort is the only option you have for food. You get free breakfast, and lunch and dinner will be a tad overpriced since you have no options around. The food is good. It’s very humid here for paying a little extra for a room with AC is a good idea. If you are afraid of dogs, this might not be the place for you. Serval stray dogs roam the resort. However they were all very sweet and mostly just hoping for some scraps to eat. The staff is also very accommodating and kind. We did have over $200 USD of mistakes on our bill that had to be rectified. Mostly double charges for food and our hotel room. But all was corrected.

Cashew grove
The owners of the resort where in attendance whilst we stayed and they would stand around at reception and smoke. Smoke would go around the dining area and around the pool area. Whilst we stayed the mosquitoes where as bad as anything like I have never seen before. The resort is isolated from everything and you can only get meals and such from the resort at an extra fee. The rooms have a timber floor between upstairs and downstairs and it sounded like the people above were moving furniture around all day and night so no sound barrier. The meals were good and the staff lovely but it’s a very isolated place. If you are looking for a relaxing holiday it’s a great place to swim in the pool or at the beach which has a lot of seaweed it not a great deal more to do unless you want to pay for day tours.

Lovely small resort on remote beach
Loved my 7 night stay -bed and the bedooms bigger than expected with large outdoor bathrooms . Thatched roofs with netting and views of either beach or pool. Right on the beach which is a very shallow lagoon out until the reef drops off - you can swim. Snorkel or kayak easily. Boat tours were all interesting and diving arranged through a partnership with another resorts dive shop worked well.

Transportation Dilemma
The cost of the transportation to reach the hotel may cost you as much as it cost to stay at the hotel. Please check before you book. We decided to forfeit our booking because of the remote location of the hotel and the cost of transportation FROM/TO the hotel.

Lovely hotel
Was so nice to get to Cashew after the busy Coron town. Lovely resort on the beach. We weren’t aware before we went though that the menu is set with set times and only one of two options and very expensive (650 pesos per person for dinner) for small meals. not much to do if you don’t do a dugong tour and if the weather is bad like it was when we were there the WiFi doesn’t work and not much to do but play pool or sit in room. Lovely rooms and nice pool. Would recommend however as long as people are aware about the limited menu.

Quiet, beautiful and isolated
We were originally going to spend three days here but liked it so much that we stayed for six. The beach cottages are large and comfortable. The restaurant is lovely. The staff are helpful and welcoming. There’s a nearby dive shop that can take you to a neighboring island or out to see dugong; you can rent motorcycles; the hike to the village is nice.

Rustic gateway by the sea shore
Fatastic location for a traveller who looks peaceful gateway. A place to meditate. The resort is just stone cast from the sea shore. You can hear the sound of the waves in your rustic style bungalow. No aircon. Friendly staff. Simple and nice food. There are plenty of activities to do from snorkling, hiking to mountain biking. If you get bored to being in the resort, you can make isalnd hopping or go for a walk to get a climt of local village life.

Highly recommended.. Hidden piece of Gem
Cashew groove was amazing place ever. Good service, Ian and his team treated us like a family. We got upgraded to the beach front room. Food was incredible. We will definitely be back.

The location is very far from Coron, about 1h30 van and 30 minutes from the airport. I did not enjoy my stay at all. First the pool is not very clean and the 2 chairs that you can use have very dirty white cushions that would need a big cleaning. I had a very strong perfume smell when i entered my ocean front bungalow. When i went to bed at night i found between 20-30 dead red ants in my bed. Previously, i found out the price to drive you to the airport is 1500php which is totally ripping off clients and taking advantage of tourist cause you are so isolated that if you don’t arrange your own Pick up for the airport, you are stuck to pay that outrageous amount of money. I was in the Philippines for one month and NEVER did i have to pay that kind of money for transport. I paid 500php from Coron on a private van.. go figure.. I was also getting irritated by the « manager’s way » of handling the situation. I requested of course another bungalow for the night which was granted. Definitely i would never stay there again and i wouldn’t recommend it. The food is also expensive and so so... so no, really not a nice stay for me.

Not 60,70 dollers hotel.
I stayed here with my doughter in end of Jly 2018. Restaurant menu is very limited, not cheap. Management was changed to Chinese people. Room, you need to carry insect spray. Safety box was not fixed in closet.You can carry out safty box. Almost joke. There were lot of insect, worm bodies in bottom of swiming pool. WiFi is not 24 hours. Dipends on Chinese manager's feel.

Lugar 100% recomendable para desconectar
resort alejado de la ciudad de Coron, si buscas un entorno tranquilo dónde desconectar es un acierto, está muy bien integrado en el entorno. Como puntos negativoes destacaría la poca cobertura de telf y la mala señal Wifi y la poca variedad de la carta del restaurant.

ジュゴンを見に行くのに…
ジュゴンに会いに行く目的で宿泊しました。 カラウィット島からは1番近いジュゴンツアーのピックアップ場所で、船酔いをする私にはとても、よかったです。 周りにレストランや土産屋などは皆無ですが、ゆっくり過ごしたりアイランドホッピングをしたりして過ごすには最適です。 料理は、とても美味しかったです。野菜は毎日おなじ種類だったかな…？という感じです。 またジュゴンを見に行く時は、ぜひ利用したいです。

Thank you for taking the time to make a review of Cashew Grove and I'm pleased to hear that the food was delicious and that our location is perfect for relaxing and peaceful island hopping. However, whilst I am sorry you suffered sea sickness while Dugong watching, I am unable to comment on the negative remarks you had concerning your Dugong watching experience as you arranged this through another company and it is not organized by Cashew Grove.

Thank you for making the effort to review our little resort, but why do you post as anonymous? Particularly as you only refer to the dive center that you dove with and not the resort where you stayed. I believe you were one of the group of divers and companions who stayed stayed with us and agree that Cashew Grove is not suited to a group such as yours and would respectfully suggest that next time you travel together you choose a hotel more suited to your friends requirements.

Thank you for taking the effort to post a review but I would have hoped it would have been a little more constructive. I believe you were part of a group of divers staying here with their companions and are surprised to learn that had a terrible experience when we never received any complaints during the stay and each day when our manager asked you is everything was to your liking, your leader said it was. Perhaps you can e-mail me and explain exactly what the problems were.
