Not Good - don't bother.

Extremely Noisy all night with loud music. We stayed in Oct 2013 the place is under construction and still is in 2023. Very muddy. Very stingy with normal hotel room supplies like soap, shampoo, toilet paper. If guests come visit they must pay. The food is good but you have pay an entrance fee even just to eat if you are not a guest. We will avoid this place from now on.

Not worth for long stay, stressful

Poor management, room poorly equip no proper resort room set up like no bath mat no cups no glasses no water, towels only replace if u ask to same towel use for pool or beach and room towel/beds cover u can see marks of sweats ,saliva on mattress no mattress protector felt so disgusting(proper hygiene missing) . Rude guards. If u have foreign partner not worth getting the room with breakfast food no good at all .pay extra for room with wifi but no internet. Had to no choice to stay for few nights as we already paid and none refundable was a terrible stay there.

Very poor service

The staff from front office to security should be trained how to handle guest during arrival up to check out. Management Allowing the security guard to insult the guest because of reasonable request.

Will comeback again

Naa koy doubts since nakabasa ko sa uban feedback dri usually negative. Peru pag abot namu sa resort very accomodating man ilaha personel. The room is clean, they provide naman toiletries but dapat naay rug sulod sa room kay if mag shower mabasa ang floor. Limpyo pod ilahang pool. The food is good also sulit ang bayad. I hope maka balik ko along with my friends na. Walay signal lang gyud peru naay free wifi sa receptionist area need paka muadto dadto or sa baybay dapit naay signal.

Best in Agusan del Norte

I think this is the best place you can see here in Agusan del Norte. A beach, with accommodations, a big pool, a playing band in the weekends, foam party and the A Bamboo cabana somehow similar to Bali. Yes, you can enjoy here however, if you have been on more popular beach resorts, you can tell that this place is not on that great level. The beach is just a common beach to stay and sometimes dirts are present. Management in the front desk should improve since only one person is found to accommodate a large crowd delaying check in, check out and concerns. Though, they may seem flooded by a number of customert, i have seen that they are composed to explain and patient.

Don’t Come Here

Terrible service and bad manangement.They only have one staff acting as cashier ,doing check in for the guest, receiving meal orders for the restaurants,attending to all the guest inquiries as well as mananging the mini mart. So service took a while. Rooms are newly renovated yet not well maintained. Manangement needs to learn what hospitality is and train there staff . Not worth your time and money. Book somewhere else

One of the stressful vacation

No staff guided us going to our accommodation. No rugs inside the room and no free toiletries. We've rented a bamboo house which is open for public for picture taking. There's a guard at the area but the bamboo house itself doesn't have a lock door, only a zipper to lock the house which is quite unsafe. The staff at the bar section going to the pool area is also rude. We went there during weekends to enjoy the live band, we also ordered our food and drinks anticipating that we can use the table in front of the stage but everything needs to be paid. We were informed that we need to pay 200 pesos since we are only 2 pax and when we already placed our food and drinks and sat on their chair with lights, the waiters went to us and informed that we can only sit there if we will pay 700 pesos which was not mentioned by the staff at the bar where we paid for the table. The waiters brought a regular plastic table and chair and placed it beside the beach. It is embarrassing since we were never informed beforehand and they went to us to ask us to transfer in another regular table the fact that there are plenty of tables available that night. The aura at the bamboo house is very relaxing and the barbeque near the bar station is the best but the beach is dirty and you will have a second thought if you will swim there or not. You can also smell the chlorine in the pool area. The place is also far from Robinson's Butuan and you need to take 2 rides again to ger there if you will only commute.…

GRABE KA STRESSFUL NGA LUGAR!!!!!!

GRABE KA STRESSFUL NGA LUGAR!!!!!! Place is decent but they clearly are just small town cheap low quality beach that lack in standard and professionalism. Our stay here was full of stress from the get go. No free toiletries, I'd already be happy if they just provide soap and shampoo, but nay. IMPORTANT!!! THEIR CHECKOUT TIME IS 10AM!!!! Which is very stressful if you have a deep sleeper in your family. Breakfast was also a stress-filled affair as they have I think one of the owners check every single person that gets in queue and make sure you feel inferior. Beddings smelled like they one of the stray dogs that roams slept on them. I could go on to rant about our stay there, but I'll just spare myself from further stress this unfortunate and stressful suffering 😆😆

T'was a nightmare

We spent an overnight stay in one of their family rooms. We traveled for almost 4 hours expecting that our Christmas would be enjoyable. First thing,,when we arrived, no guide brought us to our room, we just went there by ourselves,,next, when we went to the room the surroundings are all untidy. Just so disgusting, even at the front of the room, garbage were scattered. When we entered the room, it was fine, however there was no rug at the doorsteps so the floor became slippery when your footwers becomes wet. Then, we went out to the beach, garbage here and everywhere. Then we just went to the pool area. Gosh, there were lots of people, and the water's cleanliness wasn't maintained. To our fear of being sick, we never went swimming. It's just like we've traveled from CDO to Amontay just to sleep there, we never enjoyed our stay there, as in. It was a regret. The place could've been enjoyable if they don't accommodate too many clients, considering that we're still in pandemic state. It could!ve been enjoyable if they have enough staff to clean the areas. I've seen staff but I think the place was understaff because they can't maintain the cleanliness. If Amontay would serve better, I'm willing travel to go back there. But for today, it was a real flop experience.😢…

Horrible Experience

CONS Place is all muddy if you visit it during the rainy season Rude staff No telephone lines or signal for globe users in the area. If you have concerns, you have to walk towards the reception area everytime Proper waste disposal not observed. You would see trash building up in front of hotel rooms, even those at the poolside Hallways smelled liked someone peed in the area Did not comply with recommended health protocols during the pandemic: social distancing not maintained in the reception area, served buffet, non-stop acceptance of walk-in guests during a holiday Linens and towels were already dirty and worned out Beach and pools are dirty and not well maintained PROS Ambience in the beach front is instagrammable: thus all those social media posts that would deceive people to visit the place To wrap it up, the place is all about the quantity and not the quality. Worse, the cons we experienced recently were almost the same from guests who posted a review here since 2016. Sending a message that less efforts were made to improve the quality of service.…
