🛏️Island Breeze Beach Resort
About this place
In Brgy. Pinggan, Gasan — the same coastal stretch that anchors the Tres Reyes Islands boat departures — Island Breeze Resort offers a quieter coastal stay for visitors making the most of Marinduque's southwestern shoreline. It's a smaller, less commercialized resort than the Maniwaya cluster across the strait, which is exactly the appeal: a real beach stop with friendly hosts and a no-fuss approach to hospitality.
What Visitors Say
Chi Chi shared a detailed visit summary that captures the place well:
"A place really worth to visit, kahit malayo yung place at need sadyain — sulit naman. The owner and staff are sobrang approachable and napakafriendly. The cottages and rooms worth the price. They even gave us discount sa entrance since madami kami. I'm looking forward na makabalik dito soon."
Two things stand out from that review:
1. The owner and staff are notably friendly — a recurring theme for small Marinduque resorts that earns repeat visits. 2. The pricing is fair, and they'll work with groups on entrance discounts.
The Setting
Brgy. Pinggan is the launch point for Tres Reyes Islands island-hopping and a natural stop on a Gasan coastal day. From Island Breeze, you're within reach of:
- Tres Reyes Islands — Gaspar, Melchor, and Baltazar - Baltazar Island Lighthouse — the historic Los Tres Reyes Lighthouse - Pinggan karinderyas — local home-cooked meals at neighborhood prices
That puts the resort on a route most Gasan visitors are already planning.

Why to Stay Here
Most Marinduque travelers heading toward Gasan default to either Maniwaya Island (boat-out, all-inclusive resort experience) or one of the inland accommodations. Island Breeze fills the in-between coastal niche — beachfront, accessible, owner-friendly. For a mid-budget Gasan stay with personal hospitality, it's a good fit.

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.
