from 1h of free boat from roxas. the island looks beautiful but u can swim with children only on one beach which is overbooked of the resort`s boat ans full of construction stone. the others parts are overcrowed of dead reef or green algaes. If the welcome looks nice, the first question is ``can you pay at once the rent?``... More

We spent 4 nights on the island - and it was paradise! The staff look after the island incredibly well, and they are very attentive to your needs. The water is beautifully clear along the sandy white beach. We stayed along the beach in a little chalet with 2 beds and mosquito nets. The electricity only works between 6pm to... More

We spent 3 night's at Modessa and loved the easily accessible snorkeling, beautiful white sandy beaches and cheap cocktails. Our beach hut had the most perfect view, along with a hammock, two lounges and two chairs. It was rather quite during our stay and at times we were the only people in the water or on our side of the... More

There are many other options around the Palawan than Coco Loco (Modessa) Resort. The food here is absolutely horrendous and half was blatantly inedible. The accommodation has seen better days and pieces are all falling off day by day. My partner and I would certainly never return despite being regular visitors to beautiful Palawan.

I stayed here before when it was still called Coco Loco. The beach is great, white sand, pristine water. Everything here before is back to basic -- nipa huts with no aircon, mosquito nets to keep the bugs away!! It was an amazing experience. True value for your money since they offer good package (inclusive of accomodation, Food and a... More

During our 3 weeks holiday in Palawan we stayed 3 nights on Modessa Island and it was definitely our favorite place. The island is beautiful, white sand, pristine water, coconut trees... The staff is really nice, the food is yummy. The cottages are basic but comfortable. We slept very well, and waking up with the beach in front of your... More

I stayed here before 4 years ago as it was Coco Loco Island. I came back to enjoy the fantastic beach and great Diving that you will not find for this price anywhere else in Palawan. The rooms are still very basic as before but I did not go there to sit in my room all day. The new management... More
