"Nail stains dripping down the wall, that is not pleasing to the eye when I entered the room. "

"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. "

"It’s truly a paradise here. More than I ever expected the experience to be. Nice staff, excellent food and a very quiet atmosphere. Rooms were amazing and has hot running water for bathing or showering. Sea is very close and has beautiful beaches. "
