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.

For larger groups, calling ahead is recommended — both for confirming room availability and for any group-rate negotiations the host might offer.

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.

Best Time to Visit

Dry season (November–May) for swimming. Weekday stays are quieter; weekends bring the day-tripper crowd from town. Mornings are calmest before the wind picks up.

What to Bring

Bring your booking confirmation; Island Breeze is a Gasan beach resort — message via Facebook ahead for weekends, walk-in usually works on weekdays. Pack swimwear, reef-safe sunscreen, mosquito repellent for the evenings, cash for incidentals (cash-only), and a light jacket for after sunset. The seaside breeze cools off more than you'd expect after dark.

How to Get Here

Island Breeze is on the Gasan coast. From Gasan Centro, hire a tricycle and tell the driver "Island Breeze Beach Resort" — they know it. From Balanacan Port, plan as a half-day trip: jeepney to Boac, jeepney to Gasan, tricycle to the resort. Confirm pickup directly with the resort if you have heavy luggage; some beachfront access roads aren't tricycle-friendly with bags.
