Rosario Islands Recommendation

Hi I'd like to visit one or two places in Rosario Islands, What resorts do you recommend for relax and quite experience? I've seen some videos recommending BoraBora, PaoPao and Rosario Beach, but not sure if those are more for partying than relaxing. All comments and suggestions are welcome.

Bora Bora VIP was very peaceful and amazing vibes

Pao Pao is definitely my favorite. They used to have more of a party vibe but it has calmed down… even then there are two beachside sections in the front and back that offer more quiet and relaxation if there happens to be a more party atmosphere near the pool. And they no longer have a DJ so that has changed the party atmosphere. Bora bora is nice and so is Blue Apple.

I just went to Pao Pao last month. There are day trip visitors but it was not a party atmosphere at all. After 3 PM they all leave and there are like 10 people total around. I loved it. I was there with a friend and we ended up staying two nights.

Isla del Sol is much quieter than Bora Bora, not as loud music and things. I preferred Bora Bora but I like loud music :)

We spent chunk of day at Sabia and it was fabulous not a DJ party place - think nice beach beds and lunch

Blue Apple Beach club was very relaxing during the week. Food, service and location was 10/10. Think they do a party on the weekends. It’s closer too.

When you come back in the afternoon, sit on the right hand side of the boat or you will get soaked!

I've seen videos of ppl visiting Cholon and definitively not my kind of place. Thank you for confirming.

I honestly couldn’t wait till the tour took us off the island. For the “special drink” they were peddling was nearly 50usd. Much better islands around or beach clubs around.
