Richel Paquibot is a great chef, and the best Italian culinary expert, especial with pizza. She has served my wife and I for the past year, and it is always the best pizza. I have spoken to some who have frequently Italy and even a few Italians, and they have agreed with my wife and I--Richel makes the best pizza in the world--literally! For her expertise, she should be commended, promoted, and affirmed. We acknowledge now that she is the best pizza chef!More

Though quite far from the city, the place offers an expansive area with numerous pools, a beach and food options that are worth visiting. The staff are friendly and attentive to requests. The amenities are the highlight, with plenty of activities to keep kids and adults alike preoccupied during the entire stay.
Overall, it was a great stay!
Thank you for this validation and vote of confidence @markacem. It's much appreciated.
Firstly of all when we entered the resort, we obtained warn welcome from the doorman Carlo. The reception process went smoothly and efficent. After check-in Carlo brought us to our room with luggages.
Most impressive point is the pool and the distance to beach!!!
During 2-6pm the bar had Happy hour (buy one get one free beer and 50% cokctail) which is heaven for us~~~
However the breakfast was below average for a resort. The lack of selection....
Thank you for Carlo's service!!! Will def come back again.
Thank you so much @janepR866iKE. We look forward to have you again!
The entrance was guarded with security personnel, so safety is not a problem. The staff were all very polite and helpful. The two restaurants served freat food also. We had lunch at the cafe and dinner at the fine dining restaurant. There are multiple large pools, and they provided dry towels and foam sticks. If you have kids, they will surely have a blast! We went to the beach and tried out canoeing (30 mins, included in our room rate), it was okay, but the water was somewhat murky and we didn't really see anything. Some people say the rooms were too basic, but I thought our room was very well-equipped. There was a washing machine, a kitchenette with basic pots and pans, utensils, and a large fridge. You could easily stay there for a couple days. Good resort for a laid-back vacation.
Thank you so much @joywu1001 for your wonderful comments and we hope we will be given another opportunity to have you again. In the meantime, keep safe!
ROOMS :
Spacious rooms with all the condo's amenities, but with very minimal furnishings and decor. Lacks a hotel vibe.
FACILITIES:
The pool and facilities at the hotel are fantastic. A leisure recreation area with a lavish lobby and a classy setting. The presence of dense trees protects the pools from the sun's heat. Pools have shallow areas that are kid-friendly. Beachfront is average. The staff is excellent in terms of appearance, courtesies, and support.
DINING:
There are only two restaurants that serve pricey food. You can order items delivered through Grab or Food Panda. The breakfast buffet is simple and features predominantly Filipino cuisine.
PRICE:
The cost during off-peak season is reasonable. Booking during peak season is not advised because it can be very expensive and not worth the money.
VERDICT: GOOD
This hotel makes up for its lack of luxurious rooms with excellent facilities and recreational spaces. The entire visit was made comfortable by the staff's vibrant appearance and courtesy. Too late check-in time taints the experience. It is good to open more restaurants with more reasonable prices and a shop selling necessities and . A directory map or plain signpost would be a great addition.
This hotel will be very close to being the greatest if the rooms can be changed to appear more hotel-like. The extravagant amenities, lushly wooded pools, and experienced staff make up for the blandness of the rooms.
Too expensive for what they call suite but the room is actually next to bare/
If you understand bare- its a room with out finishing touches like tiles and toilets.
Somehow it has cheap quality furnishings aa well.
Shower drain with awful smell due to age of the building. Cheap cutleries too.
Everything in this room B5N has aged.
If you book to another hotel of yhe same price you get 100x better room.
I was booked in this room gor 3 nights and wanted to ho away after a night too as thats how i felt but hubby says will just finish it and dont comeback again.
