Lihim Resorts

Stayed for 3 nights /days at the Lihim resort. Wonderful service. Butlers Claud and Ellie were both responsive to our many requests for restaurant, tour and spa reservations and transport. We visited Henri’s every day for cocktails and appetizers. Lara, Oliver and Jomarie were awesome. Bar tenders at Henri’s made amazing cocktails. Our favorite cocktail was The Henri’s. Breakfast daily was at Gana restaurant. Jaimy, Nicky and Glen were so accommodating and anticipated our requests. Massages by Lynne and Sol are a must for wellness and relaxation. Boat tour around Cadlao island was a great experience as well. Our guide Jeswel took memorable photos and videos of our kayaking adventure. He also made sure that we were safe. We had a great time. We plan to visit again.

We had an amazing experience at Henri’s. Oliver looked after us and even took photos of us in the sunset. Would definitely recommend this spot for a sunset drink and dinner. The Tataki was the best I’ve ever had and the cocktails were all amazing. The service was great and the views 10/10.

Im from California US so I have very high expectations. This restaurant exceeded my expectations by a long shot. Well done! Excellent food! Excellent service! Food came out surprisingly fast. Very fine dining! Beautiful ambiance! Oliver was an excellent server! Best food and service I've ever had in the Philippines!

Visited Lihim in Dec 2024 with my partner. We stayed in one of the premium villas towards the top of the resort The good: Incredible views across the bay and over into El Nido Huge room, very comfortable bed, interior cleaned to a high standard Lovely spa treatments Staff were pleasant & friendly The not so good: Location - While the views are good, the location to get anywhere else outside of the hotel is poor. The boat only operates during daylight hours and outside of this it is a minimum 15 minute car ride to get anywhere else mostly due to the long, steep, potholed driveway which was not a luxury experience. Upkeep of exterior & grounds - While our room's interior was nice, the outdoor bathroom was tired, tatty and looked in need of some TLC with broken bamboo and exposed wiring . Our pool area had broken timbers and exposed nails and the pool glass was grubby (see pictures) In the grounds, the vegetation was overgrown and overhanging with lots of debris on the floors and broken railings. Whilst I appreciate it is a tropical forest environment we saw much better examples on our trip that managed to maintain the environment in a sympathetic way and look much less unkempt. There were also random apparatus discarded around the grounds, for example gardening tools along the pathways and an abandoned SUV up on blocks just outside the steps to Henris... The funiculaire was not operational and seems to have been broken for a long time judging by other reviews. In a resort of this calibre things like this should be fixed quickly. Tours- The team really push the tours, and the concept of the Lihim 'journey', which is a future vision where guests visit different sites over the course of their stay. This is undoubtedly a cool idea. However when we went on one of the tours we were really disappointed. Hyag 'Beach Club' is not a beach club, it is a building site. We were dropped by boat at a dirty beach for 3 hours with a cool box containing 1 bottle of water each. We were offered none of the promised equipment, snorkels, kayaks etc - there was just one broken paddle board and a constant sound of construction machinery and workers shouting at each other. There was no shower and the toilet had no running water or soap in the sink, and no light so you could not shut the door. We went to the bay with the other beach lounge on a subsequent tour through our next hotel and again it was a building site. The photos we were shown before attending were in no way accurate of either Beach excursion. It feels like Lihim is getting way ahead of itself and should focus on its core offering before branching out, and tours should certainly not be taking place to areas of construction. We did complain about this at the time and were credited a round of drinks. Service - While the staff were numerous and all friendly, it felt like additional training would be of benefit for a luxury resort. For example the staff at Henri's were constantly messing around behind t

We went to their restaurant, Gana, as well as their rooftop bar, Henris, for a birthday celebration. Everything was seamless — from online reservations to our dinner. Food great, but the customer service was the best part! Kudos to our server Sam, the bartender Richard, their manager Ronald, and the boat men who handled our transfer :) Will definitely come back to check in for a few days!
