Been looking more and more at something like this:

2 modes, adventure for true desert island experience and comfort for not quite so bad as just being dumped there.

Has anyone tried something like this or tried using this company?

I like the look of this:

Sit back, read, enjoy the surroundings and dive… sounds perfect.

Looks great. Reading through it all, the adventure mode destinations look more appealing, despite me being the least adventurous person in the world.

I cant see that is says which island or location it is in the Philippines? Not a bad idea if total isolation is what you are after (and you wont get bored!) its a bit of a travel hassle to get there from Europe to just sit or (swim/snorkel) in isolation for a couple of weeks. I visited a group of islands off the north coast of Palawan back in 2005 (Bacuit archipelago), many were uninhabited and you could stay on them under your own steam, was a good experience but probably more rustic than what you are seeking, also may well be developed, but i hope not.
I would also consider Malaria / Dengue risk, hard to comment as your location is unknown. There is also the Typhoon damage to consider, again hard to comment. Philippines is a great country and I cant wait to go back. Be good to see if you cant find out the location.
