🛏️Villa d' Arco Resort
About this place
Set on the Marinduque Circumferential Road in Brgy. Banahaw, Santa Cruz, Villa d' Arco Resort — also operating as D' Arco Resort Hotel — offers an inviting escape with an outdoor pool, garden paths, and conference space. For travelers wanting both a relaxing setting and the practical infrastructure for working visits or group bookings, the property covers both.
What's On-Site
- Outdoor pool — the property's centerpiece - Garden paths — for unhurried morning walks - Conference space — useful for corporate retreats and seminar groups - Free Wi-Fi in public areas - Free self-parking - Always open for booking inquiries
That conference-space feature is a real differentiator — most Marinduque resorts don't offer dedicated meeting facilities. For training sessions, team off-sites, or association events, Villa d' Arco is one of the more equipped Santa Cruz options.
Pricing
- Standard room: PHP 1,700 – PHP 2,500 (based on average rates, ~USD 30–45)
That price range puts it in the comfortable mid-tier — accessible for most leisure stays, professionally priced for corporate group bookings.
Booking and Contact
- Phones: +63 939 312 1024 / +63 42 704 5316 - Email: villadarcoresort@gmail.com - Facebook: D' Arco Resort Hotel - TripAdvisor: Villa d' Arco Resort Reviews
A quick name note: the property has gone by Villa d' Arco Resort historically and is now also marketed as D' Arco Resort Hotel. Both names point to the same operation.
Why It Works
Villa d' Arco lands in a useful sweet spot:
- Inland location — quieter than beachfront resorts, with less wind, less salt - Pool + garden + conference space — covers leisure, family, and corporate needs - Mid-tier pricing — not luxury, not budget - Circumferential Road location — easy access to surrounding Santa Cruz attractions
For travelers wanting a stay that's about comfort and quiet rather than waterfront drama, this is a strong pick. For corporate groups, the conference space turns it into a complete venue.
Best Time to Visit
Dry season for the pool — November through May. Weekday stays are quieter; weekends fill faster, especially with families and group bookings.
What to Bring
How to Get Here
In the Banahaw area on the Sta Cruz mainland. From Balanacan Port, jeepney to Sta Cruz Centro; from Centro a short tricycle ride. Banahaw is a known local area, drivers will know it.
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.
