We visited at the end of a long family holiday in the Philippines and the hotel mostly met our expectations. The pools (which were the main reason for booking the hotel) were fantastic and the the area very clean. Our children finished the holiday by learning to swim in these, which will always be remembered fondly. The pools were a bit 'milky' though (you couldn't see your feet) which meant we had to stay fully attentive with the kids and also search hard for any lost 'sinkies'. It didn't put us off though, and the all the water jets and bubbles were great fun.! The staff were friendly and attentive. We visited 2 nights (Sat/Sun) before flying back to the UK and the hotel was very quiet which was fine. We enjoyed a lovely breakfast buffet on the Sunday but were a bit disappointed that it was 'a la carte' on the Monday as the kids LOVED the buffet options previously. [Having been restaurateurs and worked in hotels previously we understand the economics of this, but it would have been nice to know in advance] The room was comfortable and the beds suited us. We couldn't find an information folder in the room on arrival; which would have been useful for wi-fi passwords, safe programming, menus, mealtimes etc etc. We ate in the restaurant the first night and had lunch by the pool on Sunday. There was a good selection of food on the menu(s) and was good quality, but the service was slow and the plainer dishes on the menu (which our children preferred) were not available. Eventually the kitchen managed to produce some off-menu, 'plain buttered spaghetti', but the process required a trip to speak to manager and a long wait. Overall, we would return - mainly for the pools.

Excellent service

Spacious and newly renovated rooms.

− The water in bathroom does not heat up fast. Takes 20 minutes to heat.

Lots of potential but still a bit far from luxury status.

The staff were very accommodating, the pool was large and a good way to cool off and the food at the restaurant was very good. Beds were comfortable.

− The location was far from shopping, attractions and other restaurants. There was no hot water in the shower. The room door was flimsy and did not fit the door frame which allowed hallway light to filter in to the room. Although there were extensive options for Filipino food, it would have been nice to have different options like pasta, pizza or sandwiches. Granted they didn’t have a pastry chef, it shouldn’t have stopped them from serving some dessert. The incidental expenses required a cash deposit instead of a credit card hold. For their price point I expected more. They have potential but still a bit far from attaining luxury status.
