“Modessa Island is for travelers who value a pristine beach and attentive staff over luxury. The bamboo cottages offer a simple charm, steps from the private beach where snorkeling and relaxation are the main draws. It's a place to disconnect and appreciate the natural beauty of Roxas, Palawan, with the convenience of inclusive meals.”
