I would like to commend the staff of this resort for really going out their way to ensure that the workshop that we had in this hotel went as smoothly as humanly possible. My organization was looking for a place in Cebu that would be conducive for a leadership, and they would able to attend to the transport and accommodation needs of around 25 people from all over the Philippines.
First off, they were able to pick up all our guests from the airport and deposit them safely to the hotel, and then bring us all back after our function, which lasted 4 days. All the hotel staff, from the reception, the guards, the waiters - they were all genuinely happy to serve us, from the conference room, to the dining areas, poolside (which was small but lovely, by the way).
The resort itself is a bit quirky, in terms of decor, which is basically Pinoy-Cebuano rustic, with a lot of funky touches in the room. You're surrounded by gardens with lots of tropical plants. Lots of interesting outdoor and indoor furniture, and they even have a walkway that meanders through mangroves. Too bad, the area is now being populated by informal settlers.
The rooms are a combination of Pinoy rustic-country and a bit of weird artwork, but this seems to jive with the overall feel of the place. Beds are comfortable and the bathroom has strong hot and cold water. I was amused by the mural on the wall in my room. The food during breakfast was simple, few Pinoy breakfast choices, and not that appetizing. But I loved the food that they prepared for our group for lunch and dinner. Again, it's simple local food that has that home-made taste, which we all appreciated.
If I would nit-pick from this whole experience - I would agree with the other commenters that this place is really along the path of airplanes landing at Mactan Airport. At first, the sound of jet engines booming above you can be a bit distracting, but you do get used to it. And the distance can be a problem if you want to see more of Cebu. This is out of the way, which is actually good if you want to have people concentrating for a workshop! So I highly recommend this place for groups who want to do workshops, team building, or just go out for a quick holiday. The price is just right, and even with the level of service, more than worth it!
