Vivere Azure Hotel

For the first time in three decades, we celebrated our church wedding anniversary with a private and truly memorable celebration at Vivere Azure. It was a special milestone for us, and we couldn't have chosen a better place to mark the occasion. The kindness and courtesy of the staff, combined with the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, made our celebration truly unforgettable. Thank you, Vivere Azure, for helping us create another beautiful memory together. We look forward to returning for many more celebrations in the years to come!

We were genuinely surprised by how much we loved our stay at Vivere Azure. It's amazing that you can find a place like this just two hours from Manila. At first, we thought the price for a one-night stay was a bit steep. But after experiencing everything the resort has to offer, we honestly felt it was worth it and offered value for our money. The resort itself is stunning. It doesn't feel like you're just a short drive away from Manila. The owners created such a peaceful tropical escape that you genuinely feel transported somewhere much farther away. I'm incredibly particular when it comes to accommodations. Cleanliness, comfortable linens, and spotless bathrooms are absolute musts for me, and the resort definitely delivered. Everything was impeccably clean, beautifully maintained, and felt luxurious without being overdone. What also pleasantly surprised us was how peaceful the resort was. Even though our suite was right in front of the beach, we never heard noise from outside, even during the day. The beach is mostly shells and rocks instead of sand, but that didn't matter much to us. The water right in front of the resort is clear and inviting, rich with marine life, and obviously well protected and cared for. Snorkeling there was an amazing experience. To make the most of our stay, we also arranged for an island-hopping tour through the resort (for an additional fee). We visited 2 nearby islands where we enjoyed sandy beaches, snorkeling, and a picnic by the shore. One thing we especially appreciated was that the resort packed our lunch for us and made sure we had everything we needed for the trip. It made the entire experience really convenient. Another highlight was the food. All three meals are included with your stay. (Drinks are charged separately) Every meal we had was excellent. The menu isn't extensive, but we actually appreciated that. You can tell they focus more on quality over quantity. Finally, the service deserves special mention. The staff was warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. Their hospitality made us feel well taken care of throughout our stay. The only thing worth noting is that the resort has quite a number of stairs, especially if your room is located higher up. The pool is also situated at the top, so getting there involves a bit of a climb. We actually didn't mind it at all, as we enjoyed the extra exercise! However, it's something to keep in mind if you're traveling with seniors, young children, or anyone with mobility concerns. We first visited Vivere Azure on June 20, and we loved it so much that we're already booked to come back in July. I think that says everything. We can't wait to return.

Great Location. Very nice for snorkeling. Casa Isabella room was very nice. The resort tries to be a luxury botique resort. However from a luxury botique resort, it was a let down in following ways: 1) While the room was really nice, the bathroom was smelling and the flush was not working half the time. 2) The resort claims full board. However when ordering appetizers etc they want to charge separate. While paying for it is not a problem, it felt unpleasant for the staff to keep reminding us on what will be charged and keep a count on the meal. 3) Traveling internationally, we forgot to get local currency. While they loaned some currency for local park fees, they refused give currency to tip the boating staff. Again not a pleasant experience. 4) Being first time in Philipines, the crowded airport and crazy crowd and traffic right outside the arrival gate was overwhelming. The driver left us waiting for 20mins amidst this while he went somewhere far to pick his car. The resort has great potential but seems it stuck half way in creating a nice pleasant experience for international guests or anyone seeking smooth pleasant luxury stay.
