Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The rooms were minimalist living, which i'm really ok with for the price. Nothing fancy. Grounds are beautiful. If your serious about diving though i would use another dive shop on the Island. I signed up twice to go to Gato Island and both times the dive was canceled because the minimum of 4 divers wasn't met.

Stuff is very friendly and they have activities to do inside the resort. But room was too small and felt uncleaned although its just a condition of an old construction.

You will regret staying here. We checked out early
When checking in no one helped us with our bags. The lady working there didn’t seem to know anything or interested in helping. The room was really tiny, dirty, poorly lit, and mosquitos infested. No hot water. Tepid water pressure. The grounds are not maintained. So keep you expectations low and you will get through it. None of the guests seems happy. I noticed no one smiled. I checked out early and forfeited the money. The location is terrible also.

Sharks Tail was on par with expectations with the affordable pricing. The room was clean and bare bones. I did not swim in the pool nor eat on-premise so can't speak to those amenities. My one complaint is the crazy amount of noise. There was the local disco happening nearby from midday until late-night so there was thumping music and karaoke. There were also several roosters nearby and a cat fight in the morning, so I'd recommend packing earplugs as the walls are woven and don't provide much of a sound barrier. It was close to the market and near the ferry port, so good location.
