Online Reviews Summary

Travelers generally express high satisfaction with the overall transfer experience to Huma Island Resort, praising the resort's comprehensive arrangements and attentive staff. While there isn't a dedicated public seaplane terminal with separate reviews, the resort seamlessly manages arrivals and departures, whether by seaplane directly to the island or via land and boat transfers from Busuanga airport. The journey is often considered a pleasant prelude to the luxurious island escape.

What Travelers Love
  • Seamless Transfers: The resort coordinates all aspects of the transfer, from airport pickups (either Busuanga or direct seaplane from Manila) to boat rides to the island, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free journey.
  • Exceptional Staff Service: Guests consistently highlight the warm, friendly, and hospitable staff who greet them upon arrival, assist with luggage, offer welcome drinks, and provide attentive service throughout the transfer process. Some even mention a welcome song upon arrival at the island.
  • Convenience of Seaplane Option: The availability of seaplane transfers directly to Huma Island from Manila is a significant advantage for travelers seeking a quicker and more scenic route, bypassing the need for separate land and boat transfers from Busuanga airport.
  • Scenic Journey: The boat and seaplane transfers offer breathtaking views of Palawan's natural beauty, making the journey itself part of the experience.
Common Complaints
  • Luggage Restrictions for Seaplane: Seaplane transfers have a strict 10 kg per person allowance for check-in luggage, which can be a limitation for some travelers.
  • Seaplane Cancellations/Delays: Seaplane operations are subject to weather conditions, aircraft availability, and civil aviation regulations, and the resort is not liable for delays or cancellations, which can impact travel plans.
  • Older Complaint - Driver Safety: An older review from 2017 mentioned an unsafe driving pace by the transfer driver on the way back to the airport, especially when traveling with a baby. It's unclear if this is a recurring issue or has been addressed.

Overall, the Huma Island Resort ensures that the journey to and from the island is an integral part of the luxury experience, characterized by efficient coordination and excellent staff service. While seaplane transfers offer unparalleled convenience, travelers should be mindful of luggage restrictions and potential weather-related disruptions.
