Very good

Rooms were clean. Balcony was good with stand hanger. Bed and pillows were comfy. Bathroom had heater, and shelves for toiletries. Location was the best, beachfront propert with a good bar and restaurant.

Initial booking was confusing with downpayment requirement and internal communication breakdown. Had to text and call multiple times to ensure my booking was confirmed. But upon arrival and getting over the initial issues all smooth sailing. Better if a TV is included, but not necessary.

Excellent service and Great Location

The location was excellent, right on the beach with easy access to dive shops and amenities. The staff were excellent! Shawn at reception was very helpful and provided excellent service. Nicoli at reception, Lan at the bar and even the GM Edwin were soo quick to respond with requests

The rooms are basic which is understandable as its on an island.

Pleasant

3 nights 4 days stay total rating review: 6/10 The ocean looks beautiful to the eyes but underwater filled with tras

The location & pricing.

The staff acted like they were underpaid which wasnt very hard to read, especially when I spoke the local language while being American. They were also very observant and I received personal comments which was hard to say if it was a compliment or something else passive-aggressive. My understanding is that the staff may be in contact of local trip brokers and everytime we got out of our room they would be swarming around us offering trips and making plans for us where in reality our priority is to be in vacation, relax and not have any plans at all. We got talked into a trip into Kalanggaman Island and we had to cancel it but ended up having to pay for it still in the hope of being left alone but even after that they were still persistent in trying to have us spend more money.. the guys name was David. The Pay Later policy in the bar & restaurant takes away too much of your financial control so I wouldnt advice to get carried away with it. We spent 3 nights and this place wasnt the same 10 years ago, the locals are now more aggressive and money-driven compared to before they were happy to provide genuine customer experience and they always get tipped the same till today. It was Mabuhay Restaurant the at least made the whole trip enjoyable.
