"Water pressure in the washroom was so low. Smell was bad in the washroom. In other word sanitation was bad."

"very ugly around "

"Very friendly staff. Recommend small table and chair in room, luggage bench/ rack, dining room entertainment such as karaoke, and connections to locals for transportation service to get to other destinations other than the hotel. "

"Advertisement VS Reality"

"It’s been a while since I stayed in this hotel but I still vividly remember how beautiful my experience there was. The view is incredible and since the hotel is by the beach, you can expect the sight of a vibrant and romantic sunset. The pool was pretty big and they had a clear kayak like those in Boracay which was also fun to get around and take pictures with. The rooms were clean and organized, and the staff were greatly accommodating to our requests. The food was also good, but I suppose one breakfast meal was cooked a bit too salty for my taste. Their other dishes were delicious though. They also have a lot of items in their grocery/pharmacy which is very convenient considering the location is quite far from the city proper. The location, however, is very suitable for people looking for a peaceful getaway and a break from all the noise of the busy areas. And how could I not mention the European-inspired architecture of the whole place? It’s something different from most hotels we’ve gone to in the north and I appreciate this type of aesthetic as well. Overall, I love this place and would love to go back in another trip. <3 "
