As a resort, it will definitely fail. It's old, not well-maintained and pool is not very clean. It's far from the city center with a bad road from the highway. It needs serious renovation. It's good for a company party that requires a lot of space for outdoor activities. It has that. Rooms are quite expensive for their quality. Food... More

There is no beach except at low tide when the black sand is covered with rubbish. The pool is filthly - difficult to see the bottom and during the 2 days we stayed the filter if there was one never switched on. We had one evening meal - we tricycled into the town for all other meals - the choice... More

This was an ok stay for the price but not much more than that. The outside of the hotel looked quite nice, although the "beach" is quite typical, more like rough coral reef. We paid 1.600 peso pr. room pr. night with the discount they gave us since we had not booked in advance. The pool area was very nice... More

Smelly black water, garbage, a lot of concrete and NO BEACH! Odd concrete buildings from the seventies, populated mostly by Koreans. Interior old and smelly. Restaurant quite expensive considering the very small portions. Dozens of black land crabs digging holes on the lawn, plenty of small black flies hovering above the muddy areas around the "beach cottages". Resort very far... More
