The Beach was awesome!!! but the bed in the room was the hardest bed that I ever slept in. I do a lot of traveling around the world and paid far less for a lot better quality. I was very disappointed!!! The only other issue was the buffet, The selection was not accommodating for international travelers, I understand that they provide a lot of local cuisine but being at a resort and just coming from Bangkok and experiencing their breakfast I was disappointed!!! They were very accommodating to international travelers!!!
Was first time at pico great relaxation place and staff are courteous and friendly I will recommend it
Nice hotel but the beach could be cleaner the staff should be commendes for their profeasionalism ans helpgulness good team
This hotel resort just had too many surprise fees imposed on hotel guests that the cost of the stay was no longer worth it. For example, when booking on the Orbitz mobile app, we booked a room with 2 queen beds since that could accommodate 4 adults. However, once we got to the hotel, we were told the booking is really only for 2 adults and we would have to pay 2,200 PHP ($44 USD) additional per adult. Wasn't very happy with that and at that point, couldn't cancel and go somewhere else. Also, there were so many restrictions at the resort for hotel guests. Since this resort is mainly for members that own or rent units there, hotel guests aren't privy to use the beach club. Plus each guest has to wear a color coded band which was only worn by some guests. Anyway, the resort was nice, but if you're young and looking to have a fun experience, I would recommend going elsewhere where there is more freedom to enjoy the facilities. This resort seemed too pretentious and uptight with so many additional fees. Pico beach was nice, but didn't have any waves and is nice if you just want to wade in shallow water. It felt more like being on a lake than at the beach.
