Nice facility and food but the private beach was a bit small and not really suitable for swimming (just water sports). We did like the large pool and used that a number of times.

Amazing 😍
Hotel was incredible. Staff was so friendly and helpful. They organized day trips for us and booked restaurants for dinners. The room was cleaned every day and the facilities were luxurious. We particularly loved the bar upstairs called 801 which had 2 for 1 happy hr drinks. Thank you so much for having us!

We had a good stay overall. Dining option was great, food and service too is great Beach access is available but not ideal for swimming . Water appears polluted with a lot of debris and is not an option.as far as we are concerned. Big and clean swimming pool made a great substitute.

Didn't have wi-fi to which they know and didn't disclose prior to check in. Would not refund. Asked for room service twice and didn't receive until asking to speak to manger. Will never stay there again. Pool closes at 7:pm and beach at 5 pm.

Check in was horrible at first as the first person to check me in did not understand the room that I booked. My room allowed 4 people per the room description where as the desk person wanted me to get an extra room. Seems after a few phone calls on their part it turned out I was correct. Manager gave me gave me free breakfast for the fourth person for my troubles. Food and service was good from then on.

We were very disappointed being our 2 nd stay here , As we found the breakfast Buffet selection below average and the quality of the food was below average . The staff lacked basic catering and communication skills . Our room suffered plumbing problems and the shower had low pressure issues . The Hotel seemed more focussed on running venues for the locals rather than looking after their hotel guests . We definitely won’t be staying here again .

The family suite is minimally furnished. There is one underpowered AC unit in the whole place which did not do the job. We received minimal towels and they limited us to one roll of toilet paper per day for a family of 4. Their restaurant is seriously overpriced and getting transportation from the resort into Moalboal is gouging. Our reservation was for 5 nights. We left early. Do not recommend for the price.

The room was sizable. Room refrigerator needed replaced, restaurant has limited menu in evening, pool closes at 7pm, bar and restaurant only open on weekends, diving shop is in a dungeon looking basement and they do not have boat, jet skiis not available after 4pm, does not have a beach to speak of and the beach next to it is veryy dirty, there are local people begging at the shore, the hotel does not have a concierge... I asked for the hotel to help with things I wanted to do multiple times and they just agree but never do. Property that is to the peft side of it is old and shanty. This hotel does not warrant the price they charge. THEY SHOULD TAKE RESORT OUT OF THE NAME. If I paid less than $100USD per night, I would have different expectations.

Everything worked as it suppose to. Room was nice. But beach closes at 5pm, pool at 6pm i think? Kind of early. Breakfast was decent but left something to be desired. For cost of hotel, I wouldve liked pool and beach open longer as we are adults capable of making our own choices.

The staff were very friendly and professional in their work. There was a Buffet dinner laid on for New Years Eve with live music , the food was some of the best I have had in a Philippines hotel This hotel ,due to its location, is only for those wanting to spend a lot of time by the pool or if you have your own transport.
