Location wise its right in the center of station 2.Dmall is right beside it.its a beachfront hotel but only the suites have that view.hotel lobby is air conditioned which is good.Rooftop pool was nice, the room was adequate, clean and big enough for a family of 4(or 5pax if 3 kids).rooms have amenities and a mini ref. Hot and cold shower is working.Downside is that our keycard did not work properly all the time, the entrance to the hotel is through the resto bar downstairs that is filled with people(but if thats your jive then this is perfect for you)
This is a really weird place. The main beach is a long, mostly white sand beach, with warm, beautifully coloured, flat water and the govt has done a lot to clean it up so, for Asia, it is pretty clean. However, there are loads of people on the sand, sitting or walking around, but almost no one in the water. There are tonnes of shops and restaurants that lead onto the sand, so it feels a little like sitting on a street. Directly behind the beach is a typical Philipino town - dirty, smelly and surprisingly busy for such a tiny island. The beach on the other side of the island is a tip. Clearly the clean up message didn’t reach here. There is trash all over this side, but I guess it doesn’t bother the hundreds of kite surfers in the water. If you are after peace and quiet, this is not the place to go. There are thousands of other beaches in the Philippines that are much nicer and without the thousands of people milling around. By far the nicest thing to do here is go for a ride on a paraw, a traditional sailboat. They are crewed by locals who sail over from the mainland every morning. With their super narrow keels, these things fly!…
This hotel is over priced, filthy and many parts broken/ rusted Compare the prices which is more expensive than the 5 starts nearby hotels. Avoid at all cost - very disappointed ☹️ Finishings of the hotel is below Zero
Pros: - Location was excellent. Right on the beach front and near D'Mall - Friendly staff - 2 pools (quite small, but at least you have option of indoor/outdoor pool) Just Ok: - Lot of choices, but not notable. But at least, it's buffet and not plated Cons: - There is band at the downstairs restaurant nightly so quite noisy until 11-11:30 pm. To be fair, we were warned about this upon checkin, but not known on time of booking - Hotel needs updating (or proper maintenance). A lot of broken things in rooms - Lots of pillows need to be changed already. They did provide additional pillows when we requested Overall, think there are better hotels in the area. Has potential to be a good hotel but it seriously needs updating.
Manila staff are not the most responsive people in this hotel. They take days and weeks to answer be it on social media or emails. We booked a premier and premier suite room during my family's stay. Premier room was ok. Good aircon temp and high water pressure although room swing have water stains and pillows are not comfortable at all. Additional Premier suite was specifially booked because we wanted a perfect beach front room but it was such a disappointment to see that there are a lot of maintenance issues (too many to mention). Staff transferred us to other rooms only to find out the same issues. To add, amenities needs some updating as well. Staffs make up for the property's disappointing state. They offered free massage to compensate for the all hassles, requested one of theif staff to accompany us to the main road and help with the transpo. All in all, hotel experience did not represent a good value for money. Yes, it is a beach front property very near d'mall but that's just about it. Will i book it again? I would think twice. Kudos to the friendly and accomodating staffs for doing a great job! …
