    Very neat and clean resort with white sand and clean and calm water. They have restaurant and decent bar active every night. This place is much busier during holidays. Entrance fee is PHP150 per person. They have kayak, jet ski, paddle boat available for rent. They have different price for each type of room, you can have a look at rent for rooms and different type of promo in pictures attached with this review. Thank you Durhan and staff!

    Good place for events. Love the sand but the beach is rocky and lots of urchins must be careful at night swims. Rooms are average and expensive for their comfortness. Breakfast is Poor ๐Ÿ˜’ ๐Ÿ˜‘ and pricy also for all purchases they charge 15%? There are a lot more better beaches around to try but they have the most water activities.

    Our stay at Durhan Beach Resort was absolutely superb! The staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. They were incredibly attentive and friendly throughout our entire visit. The food at the resort was exceptionally delicious, and we were pleasantly surprised when they generously offered us additional dishes for free, as our original order was unavailable. The resort even provided electric fans to those who opted out of tents, and they were readily available upon request. However, I would suggest that the resort consider placing water dispensers in convenient locations, as it could be a bit of a hassle to constantly visit the gazebo for drinking water. Overall, our experience at Durhan Beach Resort exceeded all expectations, and we would rate it a remarkable 1000/10.

    We stayed here for 1 night and 2 days last July. The room and beach was okay. Me and my family really loved their food! We ordered boodle feast for dinner and we opted for breakfast buffet at that time. Plus their staff were all accommodating. Just hope that they will be provided with easier means of communication with the customers since they have to walk to our rooms for quite a distance just to ask us what we want for dinner or something. ๐Ÿ™‚

    This was by far my best experience with Durhan. All the staff were friendly, professional and accommodating. My kids loved the experience! The entire place was also mosquito-free which was a plus. We went in April which was good since there wasn't any typhoon or bad weather coming in or going out. Night swimming was excellent! There were barely any waves that night, even the kids were happy about it. The area where we swam was also well-lit. Can't complain about complimentary breakfast, although the viand was not that big but they did offer two slices of fruits and your choice of coffee or juice. Overall experience was great! Definitely worth going back to.

    Beautiful lowkey resort! We stayed in their retreat room, 3 min walk from the concierge. Their wifi for this room is not working, so I suggest get a room that's close to the concierge area for stronger wifi connection. Nice beach, but watch out for big ants in the sand. Staffs were also great and accommodating. One thing they needed to improve is their service time. Antagal ng serving nila. Probably best to order an hour before. Still loved our stay!

    I rarely add comment about my review. For getting this far it must have been a great and unforgettable experience. This place is not that very special nor the best place I've ever been. What made it exceptional is your people. I didn't expect that kind of experience from them. They do take care of there guest well, they do communicate well and they always find or look for a way to help.

    first, the people who work there was very nice. second, the beach is a lot of sea urchins which is very dangerous to the kids. And the third was we brought our own foods and try to buy some fish outside to grill there but they said we have to pay every dish we brought. Itโ€™s ridiculous because we brought our own food to save a lil bit of expenses but they are just asking us to pay our own dish. Just a reminder also that DO NOT go there very early because you gonna be disappointed. 150 per head for day use but their beach is a lot of sea urchins and jellyfish. Never go back again!

    Superb service throughout our stay. We wanted to unwind and also celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. We got what we wanted - good food, great ambiance, awesome service! My husband and I would love to come back again. Thank you to all the staff at Durhan White Beach!

    The beach alone is enough reason to visit here. But it can only give you so much until you get to experience the subpar service exhibited by their restaurant staff. While were were dining, you could easily hear them bicker and laugh which can be irksome to a point. Customers have to physically approach them on a nearby stall just to get their orders taken. You could say being attentive isnโ€™t their strong suit. Generally, the overall experience is delightful given how exquisite the beach setting was. Thereโ€™s enough shade by the shore for those who like less sunshine while on the beach. Donโ€™t expect high end amenities here as they are catered to a more middle class market. Surroundings were neat and tidy. I will definitely come back but I wouldnโ€™t spend time dining at their restaurant in the near future. If youโ€™re a great cook, I suggest bring your own food and just bear the cost of corkage. Their food offering is pretty basic well aside from the grilled fish. This resort has so much potential. If an investor with a keen business sense can turn this place around, I wouldnโ€™t be surprised.

    On the package w've got is free kayak for 15 mins and free breakfast 2 pm check in and 12 pm next day check out Has a parking lot and just a few meters from the main road Friendly and very accomodating staffs Well maintained, clean, solemn, organized. A little bit stricy for those who'd like to break a few rules or the regular do so at other public beaches You should try this resort as its going to be worth it to you as well (Still on going expansion)

    Although we only had our breakfast here, I would say that I'd love to go back here and enjoy the beach and their accommodation. It is always best to have welcoming and courteous staff. The whole place was clean and very easy on the eyes. The food although basic, also came with affordable prices. The room rates are so far reasonable. They have different rates for rooms that are seaview from those that are not. I could have given this review 5 stars, but I'll save the other one upon an actual stay in this place.

    The staff is top notch! The free breakfast is incredible and generous, but if you want more food, they give you the option to add more food for a reasonable price. We chose the cheapest room, it was quite small and modest, but if youโ€™re a budget traveler, this is a great choice to get all the amenities and experience of a high-end resort for a fair price.

    Overall the place is nice. The beach water is very clear. The staff are quite friendly and helpful. The is big parking space for those who cars. And the place is very near the main road. There is no corkage fee for foods and drinks except for alcoholic drinks.

    My little family (husband and furbaby) enjoyed our stay in this lovely resort. Food was great. Service was excellent too. I appreciate that they are pet-friendly.

  • 2/5 Randy B. 10 months ago on Google
    no life guard on duty from 10pm onwards? not allowed to swim beyond 10pm? not mention that some people would come here for an overnight swim? Other nearby resorts allow overnight swim til early dawn, yet you do not, despite your hefty prices?! why can't you lit up your beach areas, and hire life guards for night shift instead? just does not make sense to your paying customers ๐Ÿ™„ ๐Ÿ˜’

    Serene, simple and relaxing stay in nature, including rooster morning alarm, clean water, sandy clean beach and very helpful staff. Friendly cute dogs; shout out to scratchy dog and licksy. Overall a great get away from city life.

  • 4/5 Njay C. 1 year ago on Google
    The longest petfriendly beach resort. It is powdery, clean and well-maintained. The sea water is clear and free from trash. Room is very simple, makes me think that the resort wants us to spend more time at the beach. The food is great. We got lucky during our stay cause there was live music playing while eating dinner. They serve drinks until 10pm. Will definitely be staying here again soon!

    Family room is so small they should have included to enclose the terrace area. Services of staff is world class. Location is good but we have diffuculty in finding the entrance.

    The place is good. Staff in Virgin Island are awesome. Polite, attentive, and customer service oriented. Minus lang jud sa langaw ug CR or shower room.

    Glam ping site has a great beach, but WiFi is not available even though the sign at the Front Office says it is complimentary! When I asked they said it was a different property , funny though our room keys read โ€œDurham White Beach Resortโ€ Air conditioning in the glamming huts was great and they also provided lights, electrical outlets and toiletries. Certainly a property still โ€˜under developmentโ€™

  • 3/5 Awesome B. 10 months ago on Google
    The place, sunsets and beach is nice. The food should be much better. Also, on a rainy day they didn't allow anyone to used the covered area at the restaurant, we had to order at the gazebo and then forced to eat back at the room...makes zero sense. They also can use more restaurant help as 2 people where trying to service over 40 people. Overall 3 out of 5 at best.

  • 4/5 John F. 1 year ago on Google
    Large white beach, not too crowded, strong water pressure, food is alright, seats and benches not comfortable to sit on.

  • 4/5 Jos Van der K. 1 year ago on Google
    The cabin I got is not that much. But this place offers a really good and nice beach experience for a very reasonable price. They also accept creditcard. A fairly good deal for 1200 pesos per night on my own.

  • 5/5 Kevin C. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place to unwind. Powdery beach sand. Perfect Sunset. For rooms, not so good. Doors are dillapidated, but whole are is secure with CCTV. So serene and relaxing because of exclusivity.

  • 2/5 Danica Niรฑa L. 1 year ago on Google
    They marketed a buffet for breakfast. But there was no buffet for breakfast. We were only given one meal. Though, they said we can ask for a rice refill. So they should have stated it as "unli rice", not a buffet. There reason? The management changed the plan without notice. The room was okay, but not enough outlet to charge. The room was good for 8, but only 1 outlet is available. We also tried their paintball which was fun, but I think the instruction and announcing when the game is over must be improved. It felt like they were in rush to end our session even though we still have bullets left.

    This beach resort is situated few kilometers from Tabuelan terminal. Went there Feb 2023. Bus fare from Mandaue City going to Tabuelan terminal is โ‚ฑ160/pax. From there you need to take a tricycle going to the resort which cost โ‚ฑ40/pax. Durhan is perfect for relaxation. They have beachfront rooms in which you can hear the waves from your room (very relaxing). We went there with our 6yr old son and rooms good for 3pax are situated on the 2nd floor whilst the room for 2pax are on the ground floor. In my opinion, they should be allocating ground floor rooms for those with kids for safety. Rooms are so-so, bathroom needs a little bit of upgrade. No TV (who wants one though?), No electric kettle, No hot & cold shower. They have a restaurant which offers variety of food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They have corkage on food and drinks. They only allow chips and bread to be brought in with no corkage. Staffs are okay. They also have free wifi in the resort. Globe, Sun and Dito has poor to no signal at all in the area. Overall, this is a must-visit white sand beach resort in the North.

  • 5/5 AM G. 1 year ago on Google
    We loved our stay here. We were at the new rooms of the resort. The room was enough for 2 adults and 1 kid. It was far from the beach so you'd have to walk a minute or two to get to the beach. When we arrived there was an LPA, so the beach had huge waves and didnt look safe to swim especially for kids but it was favorable to us the next morning since it was calmer.

    I love the sand in Durhan White Beach. Their Staffs are very accomodating. They served breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets. They also have ala carte.

  • 5/5 Deo Carlo G. 1 year ago on Google
    If you miss the ocean and white sand, and PERFECT SUNSET, this is definitely the best place to come. Food is great and cheap, service is superb, and rooms are okay.

  • 3/5 First name Last n. 1 year ago on Google
    Very thorough explanation why I didnt give it a 4 or 5. The reason why it got a 2 cause 1 activites are good jet ski and kayk overall is good but it needs more, and 2 cause o how peaceful it is and quiet. The 3 reasons why imo (in my opinion) it was bad, my family always goes here cause why not and it had white beach,evn tho has white beach it hs alot more missing, 1 the rooms, the matress,blanket and pillows are weird, i recommend changing te matress it to a more comfortabble one, next switch te blancket in to polyester and why i said cause polyester is good when dealing te cold, next the pillows ive seen better than this, also the bthrooms its very small and conjoined wht is up with conjoined bathrooms. 2nd the sea, it is good but filled with seaweed at the time I was there probably july 14 as of making this review i saw 2 lifeguards got a told by the manager to clean properly, i recommend cleaning it 2 times a day morning and afternoon. 3rd the food, the sweet and sour fish wasnt cooked properly im not saying the chefs cooking is bad, all the other food was good tho but i really think its very important to cook the fish properly and take time. Yall might say im exaggerating but im just saying the things that standout, even if the resort doesnt have the budget to do the changes I recommend, It is still a good place to go. But for my family mayb not anymore my father said were probably go to a different place like therrish beach resort i do recommend trying therrish beach resort its really good and you could tell the deffirence.

    We didnt stay overnight but the place is perfect for budget-conscious travelers. The coffee is good and the bar selection is great. Cheap as well. You can get a whiskey sour for 160 pesos. Great for families and couples. White sand beach and the perfect sunset photos.

  • 3/5 drakarys 2 years ago on Google
    this is a generous 3 star rating... cons: 1 old wooden damaged double beds = they should put new queen sized beds 2 had no TV/CABLE or fridge in any rooms 3 the curtain wasn't able to block the lights out 4 the "garden view" had just flowers in a pot in front of the room 5 bad internet 6 we kept waiting for the refills of their dinner buffet 7 limited lavatories 8 the beddings were not "hotel/resort" type pros: spacious bathroom the workers/staff took good care of our needs (extra pillows/blankets, carrying bags)

    The place was great. Away from the city great sea affordable food. You can feel privacy and peaceful vacation get away.

  • 4/5 Monalee R. 2 years ago on Google
    We just ate at their resto. The place looks good in terms of the beach. Though their accommodation could be improved judging by the pictures. Maybe modernizing it a bit wouldn't hurt. Despite this, the place almost always full whenever we inquire. Will return here with my family to enjoy the beach
