Stolen from Samulan - 09 July 2010
The Villa is fantastic and the living space is wonderful, especially the bit where you walk from the patio across the lush grass and stroll into the sea all inside your own garden area, it was just heaven. We went to Samulan as we thought you had been a bit romantic on your website. When we got there it was just like you had said only better. When your there in person words cannot describe it, it is so perfect.
Washday Blues at Villa Pacific - 09 July 2010
I helped Michelle with the washing just because it even feels good to be washing on the patio. It was such a pleasure and so easy to dry. After the washing was complete I felt like a swim so went upstairs to change. With my swimsuit on I went to get a towel from the balcony and had to sit down for a minute the view was absolutely breathtaking

A Most Fulfilling Vacation - 15 July 2009
Well what can I say, Absolutely Fantastic! Had a great time but it was a shame our kids had to stay at school and I also had to leave a little early due to work commitments. The drive fromTacloban was beautiful and the Limestone formations in the areas from Basey to Guiuan were quite a surprise. The Villa is great and Michele is such an asset there.

Our two months stay in the Philippines was absolutely fantastic and in so many ways exceeded our expectations.
Michelle assisted us in every way possible, and she made it easier to understand the Philipino lifestyle, culture and everyday life.

Unforgettable - 30 August 2008
Spending our holiday in Villa Pacific was one of the most memorable experience we have had. We were too excited when we arrive at the airport of Tacloban. Although we have an idea of what to expect because of what we have seen in the internet, we are still fascinated by the natural beauty of the place for real specially for Dani who had his holidays in the Philippines for the first time.

Shiree\'s Sunset - 19 March 2008
When we were travelling from Tacloban to Guiuan I began to wonder exactly where we were going and what I had got myself and my 3 friends in to! I was delighted when we turned the final corner and the villa awaited us, and was everything you promised on your website.

Just a line to say we want to buy next door and come to live next to Villa Pacific. How can we carry on now knowing that such places exist? We were so chilled out when we came home that going to work, day to day routines, supermarkets, car parks, traffic jams and parking were just more awful than ever.

Wonderful Hide away Holiday - 26 July 2007
A wonderful holiday hide away. For those who like a taste of adventure whilst still having creature comforts. The villa is luxurious with a sea view and all the facilities you need. I particularly enjoyed snorkelling in Homonhon and basking in the sun! I feel there is something for everyone at Villa Pacific as there is such a wide range of activities to do, or not to do if you just want to relax! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and feel that you will too!
Glorious Skies - 24 April 2007
The beaches, the tours, the views, particularly from the Yoga centre on the mountaintop. The sea was so warm, swimming everyday in Leyte Gulf, motor biking around the island, the friendly kids. Michelle was a great help and really looked after us on one of the best holidays we have ever encountered.

Getting away from the freezing weather and dark nights had always been something to look forward to but we had never taken the opportunity until now. We chose Villa Pacific because it seemed to be just what we were looking for and it turned out to be much much more. Fabulous sunsets in front of the home every night.

Walking from the house across the patio of warm marble, down three steps and onto white sand, walk down the garden and into the warm turquoise sea or dive into the clear water of the creek with the kids following behind giggling and laughing all the time, as a parent this is such a thrill, you really feel like you have given the kids something special.

Religious Experience at Buro Buro - 25 March 2006
