Our stay at this hotel was quite disappointing. We opted for the cheaper option expecting a budget-friendly experience, but instead found ourselves in a dirty and uncomfortable room. The closest beach was a trek away through puddles, and we didn't even stay long enough to try the breakfast. On the bright side, we discovered a better place nearby that really made our getaway enjoyable.

The room was designed like a nipa hut but was dusty and poorly maintained, which was quite off-putting.

The hotel is about 300 steps from the beach, though getting there involves navigating through some unpleasant puddles.

Facilities were very basic; there was no hot water or air conditioning, which made our stay less comfortable.

I booked the cheapest option thinking it would be a fun, budget-friendly experience, but it turned out to be quite the opposite. The room was dirty and smelly, with lizard droppings found on the bed. The lack of hot water and A/C made it uncomfortable, and the walk to the beach involved navigating puddles. This stay was definitely a lesson learned about the importance of value for money.

Rooms

5.0

The room was a rundown 'nipa' hut with dusty, cheap bedding and a strong musty smell. The bamboo flooring had gaps that allowed insects to easily come in. Overall, it felt more like a campsite than a resort.

5.0/10

My stay at this resort was a letdown, primarily due to the poor condition of the room. While I appreciate that it was budget-friendly, the accommodations were neglected and far from what I'd expect for a relaxing getaway. The location was decent as it was a bit of a walk to the beach, but the trek involved navigating through puddles, which was not ideal. Moving to another place after just one night felt like a relief.

Rooms

The room was in terrible condition, dusty, with old beddings, and I found lizard droppings on the sheets. It was uncomfortable and unsuitable for a good night's sleep.

The location was alright, about 300 steps from the beach, but you had to wade through puddles, which was quite inconvenient.

Our stay was quite disappointing. We opted for the cheaper accommodation, and it turned out to be ugly, dirty, and uncomfortable. We were subjected to various inconveniences like no hot water, no A/C, and bugs creeping in. The only silver lining was the short walk to the beach, but the muddy path detracted from the experience. We left and found much better accommodations the next day.

My stay at this resort spa was quite disappointing. While the location was decent, just a short walk from the beach, the room was anything but inviting. It was dusty and uncomfortable, which drastically affected my experience. The lack of amenities and cleanliness left much to be desired, and I was not even tempted to try the breakfast. Overall, it was a relief to leave and find a better accommodation nearby.
