This hotel is decent, clean, amazing views and a fun pool area. Dining is outdoors with the beautiful sounds of the sea. We were a group of 16 and occupied 4 different rooms. The rooms are small, basic and bathroom is small as well. They are pretty clean but expect your stuff to get wet since it's a standing shower and I can't recall if there was a curtain to separate the toilet area. The A/C units are window mounted but it definitely kept the room nice and cool. you do need the room key in the room for electricity, so it;s a nice power saving tactic. Room doesn't take too long to cool off.
What makes this hotel exceptional is the staff. We first spoke with Chito over the phone to reserve our rooms prior to our trip. So kind and courteous. As we are overseas, he allowed us the arrangement to pay upon arrival. He informed us that cash is best for payment. Upon arrival, his staff helped tag and bring our bags to the different rooms.We were able to quickly change into our swim clothes to enjoy the pool and breathtaking views.
Food was delicious and I can't remember his name (George?), was the BEST. He took a few of us to the market so that we can pick out food we wanted to eat for dinner. My mom is very particular about food and is an amazing cook. She really enjoyed all the food as well. In addition, he would help guide us in town when I needed to get specific food like pizza/ pasta for my son that has food allergies. They were so accommodating and made sure my son's food were safe for him.
Another little fun thing is that we wanted massages so they found a couple of masseuse for a rooftop massage. Just a nice little treat while on vacation.
They arranged the tricycles for us (16 people in 4 tricycles) to go to the Whale Shark and back. This was the first tricycle rides for our kdis and it was so much fun! Chito also found and booked us 2 drivers to take us to Cebu City and helped negotiate the rates. We stopped at Aguinid, Kawasan (skip this, not as awesome as Aguinid, and CarCar market for some lechon before arriving at our hotel.
We truly enjoyed our stay and while accommodations aren't fancy, it was decent and the hospitality from Chito and his staff made us feel so special. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
My one little thing I hope they can do is to make it smoke free or at least have a designated smoking area. On our last day there, a group of young guys checked in and were smokers so it was a bit unpleasant to have that around the pool area. We're not smokers so it's just an annoyance when we're used to no smoking areas at hotels.
