Loved it! After a less luxurious hotel in Manila, this place was like landing on a cushion. I booked 2 rooms, one for my 15 year old daughter, myself and husband, and one for my brother. Ended up on the 3rd floor, not on the pool, but those did look cool, I can understand the attraction. We were at the beach more tho, so they would have been wasted on us. Aircon was great, so quiet (not like some hotels where it sounds like a jet engine) and cooled the room down almost instantly when necessary. We really enjoyed the decor, (the colors used in the design were very spa-like, lots of curves and not so many hard corners), the facile lighting, the layout of the washroom, the little deck, the convenience of a little fridge, the drying rack on the little deck. I can understand some of the negative comments about the front desk staff, they were a little cool at first, but warmed up to us :) We all actually really liked the breakfast that was included, the staff were so attentive, all of the restaurant/bar staff were always helpful and gave immediate service. Some are more friendly than others, and I think this is the language barrier, some people just like to practise their English more than others. It is too bad this place isn't closer to the beach, the shuttle only takes you to the sister hotel, which is still a little bit of a walk to the beach. I like walking, so no big deal to me, but it can be scary, high season with all of the traffic, I can see older people not really enjoying it much, and not something you'd want your kids doing by themselves. Roosters were annoying, but that was all over the Philippines. Roosters crow everywhere!
Room Tip: The poolside rooms seem like a convenience luxury.
