people found this review helpful

We stayed 4 nights with our young son (4 years). It's quiete place , close from the beach (5 minutes walking). The swimming pool is very nice with a small jaccuzzi.
The staff is very kind and the owner is a very nice man who like to speak with the guests.
We recommand this place and we hope to go back next year.
The rooms are very spacious for a family (with balcony).

“Superb Service, great amenities :)”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 February 2011

Browsed TA and find out this hotel so I decided to visit their website. This hotel is located in white beach area. About 2-3 minutes walk gointg to the beach.
We stayed here from February 20-22,2011 for leisure. I was able to get a discounted price for their anniversary special :)
P1500 per night with free continental breakfast. They're also affiliated with a massage and spa company located in sabang. We had a whole body scrub with wax and whole body massage, the staff arranged it for us

Rooms are spacious, nice mattress, pillows, with AC, private bathroom (can choose between cold shower only or hot and cold shower - additional 500 pesos for hot and cold shower), remote television set, single sofa, closet where you can hang clothes, a small table with chairs.

Shuttle . it's not more of a shutte bus or something.. More of a private car that picks and drops u up @ the beach (arrival & departure). we also used the shuttle going to "bayan" or the city centre.

Wifi. since we carried a laptop with us, we enjoyed browsing the net for free. however, it's not available inside the room

Pool and Jacuzzi. so unique. so cute. foot -shaped one.

Videoke, Billiards. we had the opportunity to atleast entertain hardworking staffs :) We're very hesitant at first since we had this feeling that they might be annoyed.. good thing we're very good singers (lol'z)

Restaurant and Mini Bar. Good food but I would rather go to the beach instead (there are restaurants all over) since it's a bit pricey at the hotel.

Souvenir shop. aside from getting cheaper price compared to souvenirs, clothes and pasalubong available at the beach, since we are guests staying at the hotel we had an additional 10percent discount :)

The only thing that I would like to add which I found missing in the room is a telephone i guess :( Everytime we need something, need to go downstairs and walk to the fdesk's location. Our room is located 2nd floor near the pool which is away from the main building..

Over all, were very much contented with our stay.. Can't wait to go back for vacation :) Thanks to vern, robert and all the staff. Same as the owners --- they all know what quality service means.

“Best Quality with friendly staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 March 2010

people found this review helpful

I stayed in this resort for 3 days and I loved it. It was one of the best places I have stayed in. The best feature was the staff & management. These people were so very friendly & helpful. The two ladies Juliet & Verna made us feel like home. They not only made our stay comfortable but also planned for our itinerary in Puerto Galera, ( arranged for diving at discounted rates). Although only the breakfast was complimentary they also provided a free pick up & drop to the port. For me it was really helpful as I was already getting late to catch the boat while returning.
The rooms were nice with ac & tv, beds clean. Also very clean bathrooms. Only missing thing in room I felt was carpet & some more interiors. It would have added grace to the room.
The place is a resort with a very cute swimming pool & Garden restaurant. It was great sitting in one of the open huts, having my dinner while browsing net & enjoying a light drizzle which made the place very romantic.
The beach is just 2-3 minutes walk from the resort.
Finally I would recommend this place to others because of incredible staff & amazing services. In 2500 peso its a great deal ( I did got some discounts :-)
