A 20-30 minute boat ride from the main Island of Coron - Majika offers you a breath taking view of a paradise and joys of simple island living.
Accommodation:
Ratings: ★★★★★
- The moment we were picked up at the airport, we are politely welcomed by the driver and their chauffeur. On the way to the jetty port which took us like an hour land trip - we are being educated of how the tourism goes in the area. Their boatmen was also nice and courteous to help us with our luggage and warned us of bugs that strive in the mangrove that will keep us itchy for days.
- When we arrived at the island we are welcomed by their lead receptionist and two lovely native dogs (ok I might be a little biased here since I really love dogs). There's a welcome sign for our group and a snack on the table. We were ushered in to our room and to be honest it is really spacious and big enough for a group of four. We were given ample time to settle our things before the introductory of the activities for the rest of our stay.
- The place is what you really need to get out of a busy city life. The cottage we are in is so simple yet spacious. The beach front is underdeveloped hence the more appreciation we had for mother nature, it was not designed to be commercialized thus it really gives you nature as it is. The electric supply comes from a generator thus explaining the rotating electricity usage - this is a separate island thus we are already expecting it right from the start. We keep on loosing mobile phone signal on the island - but who cares, we are there to enjoy the beauty of nature as it is.
Staff:
Ratings: ★★★★★
- From the boatmen up until the owner they are downright friendly. The owner herself even sat with us on the table during dinner to ensure we are doing fine and enjoying our stay. There was a tour that would lead us back to the main city for us to buy tokens and souvenirs but apparently we left our all of our money back in the resort island - the owner graciously allowed us to pick items from her souvenir store and pay her once we are back in the island, this is what we call customer service with understanding.
- The tour guide not only ensured our safety but he is really accommodating and knowledgeable of the places we went to. One diving spot that is part of the tour is swarmed with jelly fish and he immediately came up with an alternative place so as not to spoil our day. He is a local resident that is not just concerned with the environment but knows well how to take good care of those who wishes to enjoy their beautiful home.
Food:
Ratings: ★★★★★
- The food was greatly sumptuous and mouth watering, needless to say the servings are even fully loaded. And when I say fully loaded - I'm talking about four hungry corporate fellows who can eat in a buffet all day and not get full. We never got hungry nor asked for more because there is really more than enough for everyone. Their cook even made a dish out of the jellyfish we brought from one of the tours. There is also an unlimited supply of coffee and native tea available 24/7 in the dining area.
OVERALL RATING FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE: ★★★★★
