🛏️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
Book in advance during Moriones Festival (Holy Week).

GoogleFirst time here in marinduque. We stayed whole week at Villa D’ arco. Staffs are kind and accommodating. Affordable and accessible near town proper. We will definitely come back. Thank you so much!!!
The location is great because it's near the town proper of Santa Cruz, easily accessible. Landscaping of the resort is very nice though the place is in a slope area which can be challenging to elderly persons to walk up and down numerous steps, but anyways, they can opt to stay on cottages at the top where there are pools. There is also a zipline and slide on the lower part of the resort. You can also bring in your own food inside.
