The staff were excedingly hospitable and welcoming. Nothing to fault there!

There were some things that were not clear to me when I booked. I'd like to let people know what the reality is so that you can judge accordingly. 1. The view is on higher floors ( not all rooms have an ocean view, but you need to walk up 3 flights of stairs at least. Good to know for people with issues. 2. It's not right on the beach. There is no direct beach access. You need to walk about 300 meters to the beach which is in front of the Italian restaurant (which is amazing BTW) . No chairs or umbrellas there though. 3. For a north american pallette, the free breakfast is a little tough to enjoy. We didn't eat there much because of that. I cannot speak to the rest of the food. 4. If you need a ride, the trikes don't come down the hill to the hotel. You need to walk up a quite steep hill to get to them and then walk another 500 meters downhill to get to the pool table where the trike drivers hang out. If you have leg, knee ankle or fitness issues, it's a bit of a haul. We are not physically fit and had to stop a few times walking up the hill to catch our breath. FYI 5. ROOSTERS. right underneath our windows. They are broken too. No idea when to crow. So they do it all night long. It made sleeping a bit difficult, but that's pretty common anywhere in Philippines. 6. Noone came during our 4 night stay to change sheets ( they got a bit sandy after a while) sweep the floor, change towels, empty garbage can, give new water bottles. At all. The room gets pretty grungy after living in it for 4 nights and no cleaning going on. I've never experienced that in a hotel before!
