The resort has a beautiful, secluded setting perfect for those looking to relax and enjoy diving and snorkeling. The dive sites were decent, with good visibility, and the beach villa I stayed in was spacious with adequate amenities. However, the lack of activities beyond diving and the low-quality dining options were disappointing. On top of that, the internet was incredibly slow, making it hard to stay connected.

My stay at Pom Pom was memorable, thanks to the seaside location and the unique experience of witnessing baby turtles being released. The beach villa was spacious and offered a lovely view, but the food options were underwhelming. While the resort has potential with its eco-friendly focus and limited number of guests, improvements in the kitchen could leverage the charm of this beautiful island. Sadly, the cleanliness of the beach left something to be desired, which is unfortunate for such a picturesque setting.

Pom Pom Island Resort is a little slice of paradise that offers an unforgettable experience for beach lovers and divers. The staff is exceptionally attentive and genuinely cares about guests, which truly enhances the stay. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with lovely views and amenities, but some noise from renovations can be a bit of a drawback. Overall, it's a little pricey but worth the splurge for the beauty and service provided.
