"Very clean! The staff is awesome, kind, helpful and accomodating! It’s a boutique resort hotel that’s quiet and private and beautiful. The food is also very fresh and tasty! The place is as advertised, even better in person. The rooms are very spacious, the beds are comfortable. I’m definitely coming back. "

"The location is great white sand beach and nearby kota beach.great for swimming. The property is extremely well maintained and staff are great "

"No soap , shampoo and toothbrush . But we are prepared. But the beach is very nice your own beach . Far from restaurant but the care taker let us use his motorcycle and we gave him some money for it. "

"Very friendly staff and the owner was very accommodating. "

" It’s a perfect getaway for families and friends. Even though just one night but it is worth it. There are plenty of activities to enjoy here, especially if you make full use of the services they offer. I love how peaceful it is, it really helps you relax and unwind. The room was huge and the service is excellent."

"The room and the whole place was clean & tidy. Satisfied with what we pay. "

"Guys please stay here. You will not regret it. The owner (Rito) met us within 5 minutes on the grounds and had a beer with us. He is Swiss and his wife is Filipina. They live on the property as well which is a bonus (any questions he is right there). He will give you direct answers to any questions and will work with you on any issue. The food is Italian based but they also have Filipino dishes. The pizza is good as what I get in New York. The entire staff is friendly. We originally planned to stay one night but quickly changed it to a week. The ocean views are breathtaking. The beach is paradise. The beer is cold and they have cocktails too. This is the best place I have stayed in all my travels in the Philippines. I would buy this place but Rito has it good here. Please guys, take it from a grumpy American, stay here when you are in Santa Fe. "
