Enjoyed our stay here, it was a very chilled out time sitting on the bean bags by the beach having a couple of drinks, swimming in the sea and swimming pools. The staff were exceptional, attentive but not over bearing and very helpful and accommodating. Food was good, different dishes every morning for breakfast and tasty dishes in both restaurants....

At the end of our Rotary project work we took a three day break at a non all inclusive all in clusive resort. All inclusive in the Phillipines is not totally "all inclusive". The basic packages are like a bed and breakfast. This resort was simple and had a small beach. I recommend getting a boat from one of the... More

Just stayed for a day so that my sons and their cousin can enjoy the beach and the pool. It's a great place to just unwind, and let the kids run around, build sand castle by the beach, do slide in one of the pools, and just plane sun bathing by the pool.
