This property is par excellence; while accommodation cost is not within reach to an average Filipino worker, the quality of service and resort amenities was worth every penny you spend while staying in this resort on the island of Samal; I booked this resort for an overnight “staycation” with my brother and his partner; it was indescribably amazing spending quality time together to relax and strengthen the bond with family and loved ones; I will be saving again to return to this beautiful paradise!

Property is nice but not a lot of dining options. They should add a cafe with sandwiches and salad options if you want a lighter meal. My son broke a drinking glass inside the room and got charged $30 for it, outrageously expensive and I felt taken advantage of and robbed!
