Is Tuburan Cove family friendly?

Yes. Families with children are welcome.

Is the beach safe for swimming?

Yes. The cove is calm and safe for swimmers of all levels. The naturally sheltered position of the cove means the water is generally gentle, making it ideal for families and leisurely swimming. The sea is at its quietest from November to June. During the habagat season (southwest monsoon), there can be waves, though the cove’s sheltered position still offers more protection than open beaches in the area. For the calmest conditions and clearest water, November to June is generally the best time to visit Tuburan Cove.

Is Tuburan Cove PWD friendly?

There are steps around the resort area due to the terrain. As a result, Tuburan Cove may not be suitable for persons with physical/mobility disabilities and wheelchairs. We apologize for the inconvenience

Is Tuburan Cove pet friendly?

Pets are not allowed inside the resort.

Do we have to walk far?

We have a golf cart to bring guests from our main gate or guest parking to the resort area. Kindly note that there are several steps around the resort due to the terrain, therefore Tuburan Cove may be challenging for people with limited mobility.
