"At Hensel Gardens Busuanga Island, Palawan, I recently enjoyed a unique family vacation. The dream was an all inclusive package with one of a kind boat excursions to isolated beaches for world class snorkeling, a private beach to relax with spectacular views, swimming and ATV rides, and five star dining prepared by your own chef."

"Having a wonderful time with Dette. We went to South Cay Island for lunch along with Marlene’s family. Dette, a wonderful host, created Hensel Hardens, an amazing resort, from her imagination and hard work."

Hensel Gardens was our all inclusive hideaway while we explored Busuanga in the province of Palawan.

At enjoy din kami sa Inyo. Hanggang ngayon panay pa ang reminiscing naming about out time at your place. Puro fun memories and kwentuhan. It was my most relaxed vacation. So true nga ang sati mo sa akin before, everything will be taken cared of when we stay with you and mag relax lang aka. Maraming, maraming salamat
