"Check-in and check-out were fast and smooth. A ₱2,000 deposit was required for three deluxe rooms.
Check-in instructions focused more on penalties than on amenities. The Wi-Fi password was not provided upon check-in and we had to ask for it. Wi-Fi connection was poor, and Globe mobile signal was also weak inside the room. We had to step out to the small balcony to get a signal.
Bathroom amenities were very basic. There were 3 soaps and 3 small containers of shampoo with conditioner. Toothbrush, toothpaste, room slippers, and cotton buds were not provided, so we had to buy these outside. I asked an extra bathroom tissue roll from the housekeeping which they instantly provided.
Drinking water is obtained from a dispenser along the hallway near the elevator. The plastic water container provided in the room was old and had cracks. Cups were made of plastic. Hope they switch to glasses instead.
I initially thought we booked a room in the main beachfront building, but we were assigned to the East Wing. This was acceptable since it is only a few minutes’ walk and conveniently located near the police station and 7-Eleven. But I really thought room were located in MAIN building since title of the room indicated MAIN.
The staff were friendly and accommodating. However, it was difficult to reach the front desk. The first call was dropped, and succeeding calls took some time before being answered. Nonetheless, staff were helpful and cheerful. You'll get to meet them along the hallway, the lobby, and will be greeted always.
Assisted breakfast was typical and simple. Nothing fancy, but portions can be adjusted upon request and the staff were accommodating.
There is a BBQ stand located outside the lobby. The BBQ and kansi were good. You can order for dine-in at their garden area, and the crew were friendly and served well. Prices range from ₱50–₱60 for skewers, and ₱80 for kansi (try this). There are restoa and stores located nearby.
I experienced itchiness on the lower part of the bed near my feet and legs. I am not sure if this was due to bed bugs, but it was uncomfortable. Had to open the duvet and external sheets to manually clean it.
Overall, the stay was acceptable, but improvements in amenities, connectivity, and room comfort would make a big difference."
