“This seaside location offers striking views and a range of activities, from ziplining to water sports, which I find appealing for active travelers. The villas are spacious and relatively new, though some aspects require attention to detail. In my opinion, this property holds potential but needs refinement to deliver a consistently high-quality experience.”

The location of the hotel is unbeatable, offering a peaceful and romantic bay perfect for relaxation and stunning sunsets. However, my experience was marred by the poor condition of the rooms and common areas, which seemed neglected and unclean. The staff was kind and tried to be helpful, but it wasn't enough to overcome the disappointing facilities. I believe this hotel is overrated for what it offers at the price point.

Vitalis Resort & Spa is beautifully located on a stunning beach just south of Vigan, making it a great spot for peace and relaxation. The rooms are spacious and nicely decorated, but there were several maintenance issues that made for a less-than-perfect stay. The dining experience was underwhelming, marred by flies and slow service. Overall, it has potential, but the high price does not match the current quality of services.

I had high hopes for my stay, given the stunning location and gorgeous views of the bay, but the accommodation left much to be desired. The clean and spacious villas had a beautiful aesthetic, yet maintenance issues and lack of basic amenities detracted from the experience. The dining staff were polite, but the food variety was confusing and lacked quality. Overall, this place has potential, but it needs significant improvements in service and facilities to be worth the money.

I chose this resort for a special family celebration, and it turned out to be a mixed experience. The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-equipped, making for a comfortable stay. However, the service needs significant improvement as the staff seemed untrained and lacked knowledge about the resort's offerings. While the location is beautiful and the amenities appealing, the overall experience fell short in terms of attention to customer service and dining quality.

I had a relaxing stay at this beautiful resort with its stunning lagoon and professional staff. The breakfast was excellent, although there were limited dining options due to the restaurant's focus on larger groups. The room I stayed in was compact but clean, and I appreciated the plans for future developments. However, the ongoing construction and some local behavior were a bit off-putting.
