🛏️Casa Basilisa Eco-Resort
About this place
Set in Diversion, Santa Cruz, Marinduque, Casa Basilisa Eco-Boutique Resort by Cocotel is one of the more thoughtfully positioned stays on the island — an eco-friendly boutique resort that combines modern comforts with environmental conservation. For travelers who want to slow down with intention, the property's mix of private beach access, garden setting, and serene atmosphere is exactly the brief.
The Setup
- 15 well-appointed rooms - Built in 2003, last renovated in 2008 - Operated by Cocotel — the boutique-resort network across the Philippines - Check-in: 2:00 PM Check-out: 12:00 PM
Amenities
The resort offers a full set of features that make it work for couples, small families, and corporate retreats:
- Private beach access - Pool with view - Garden for unhurried mornings - Internet access - Breakfast - Tours arranged on request - Karaoke — for the family-night itineraries - Skiing (jet/water-based, not snow — Marinduque is tropical)
That mix lands the property in the boutique-with-amenities sweet spot — small enough to feel personal, equipped enough to handle multi-day stays comfortably.

Why It Works
Marinduque's accommodation landscape ranges from rough beach huts to mid-tier hotels. Boutique eco-resorts with private beaches and 15-or-fewer rooms sit in a smaller niche — and Casa Basilisa is one of the names in that space. For travelers wanting a stay that feels considered rather than commodity, this is a strong pick.
Best Time to Visit
Dry season — November through May — for the beach. Mornings are calmest and best for swimming. Outside dry season the wind picks up and the sea churns the sand.
What to Bring
How to Get Here
From Sta Cruz Centro, take a tricycle and tell the driver "Casa Basilisa" — they know the spot. From Balanacan Port, jeepney to Sta Cruz Centro first. Confirm pickup directly with the resort if you have heavy luggage.
Local routes, fares, and ferry schedules can shift without notice — and travel times depend on weather, traffic, and tide. Confirm fares and timing with the driver or locals before you set out.
