We went there to celebrate our honeymoon. We got a really bad experience. Too noisy during late night for 2 days and we couldn’t sleep. Not privacy They took 50 mil pesos from my wife wallet. We will keep our good memories from the last 2 days. Receptionist, people who works in the buffet area and bellboy. I do not recommend this place. Some people that works In the hotel are not friendly.

Overall, the hotel was decent. The best aspects were the location, the buffet, and the swimming pool. Unfortunately, the hotel—especially the room—was not very clean. I took a few photos showing how mouldy some parts of the toilet were. They really need to fix the ventilation system. All the staff were lovely, except for the lady at the reception. Her cocky attitude definitely takes some points off the hotel review.

Só um problema com a limpeza

O problema foi a limpeza do chão do quarto. É utilizado um produto que gruda e deixa um cheiro muito ruim, que é agravado pelo fato do quarto não ter ventilação externa natural. Atendimento do pessoal espetacular em todas as áreas.
