    I think it’s a nice and simple beach resort. But it’s overpriced for what you get. I paid like 70USD per night. I think 50USD would be a fair price. The private beach has restricted access to the water by daytime and just for snorkeling activities. I wished I knew that before. If you just like to jump into the water and swim you need to go to other beaches :(

    A desk inside the room would be nice but I don’t think there’s room for that.

    Location is hard to beat. You’re one or two minutes to the beach. I loved the restaurant. I ended up working from there most times. Friendly staff. I extended my stay because I didn’t want to leave. The guesthouse is not attached to the beach resort, but it’s just a minute walk and you can use their facilities. I loved that I had a terrace too.

    The downside to being in the resort was not close to street and street options, but that may not be a negative.

    Located at resort, but without the cost. Hosts great to deal with as this was first stop from flight into Cebu. Great options for food and drinks at resort. Great base for taxi or grab for day trips.

    It was said before but they should fix the AC, it keep going on and off with a very loud noise when it does so you have to turn it off to be able to sleep.

    Perfect for the price, just one street away from The resort where you have access. Good value for the money.

    Better airflow, or a fan for the top bunk would be the biggest improvement. The water pressure in the shower wasn’t the best, but it was a nice shower and you were still able to shower, and the Wi-Fi connectivity in the rooms also wasn’t stable.

    The place is wonderfully located and very clean especially for the price! You are 2 minutes from the beach and 5-10 minutes from the busy street with restaurants but away from the noise. Our room had bunk beds and a small shelf for things and then the bathroom. It was small and basic, but more than fit our needs as we weren’t planning on being in the room much. The shower was actually hot, the sheets very clean and comfortable, and they come sweep the floors if you request cleaning. The breakfast at the hotel is also quite nice. Only problem with the room was that the top bunk had very little airflow as the fan was positioned below it and so the person on top was quite warm or the person below quite cold. The WiFi at the restaurant works great but in the room was spotty, but again this wasn’t our main concern. Overall, we would definitely stay again.

    - the road getting there is very bad - there’s no wifi in the room, only at the resort which is around the corner -a lot of ants on the bottom bunk bed - on the last day, the power didn’t work -the door to the bathroom doesn’t fully close and is very loud

    -Free access to the beach for snorkeling/diving and common areas of the resort - the bunkbeds are very big and comfortable - the staff is extremely helpful and kind

    Nothing. It was perfect

    Good location, easy walk to the beach for snorkelling and swimming Lots of storage space in the room. The shower was warm and powerful. Soap and shampoo provided too! A slightly longer walk to the bars and restaurants, but I liked that

    I didn't know I'm staying at their extension, which is away from the main resort, had to add more money but fewer nights just to stay at the actual resort. In my booking confirmation, it didn't say that it was at the extension, far away from the beach. So disappointed I had to cut short my stay and spend more money.

    The facilities at the actual resort was good.

    Unfortunately the beds were of very poor quality and the airco is very loud. We changed accomodation due to this.

    Good location, nice staff and great food. Good access to the beach via the tipolo beach resort. Clean.

    We travelled with my Dad and his shower wasn’t working and needed the head replaced. The staff took care of this, but seemed like it could have been prevented. Mattress is very thin, I liken it to a camping mattress.

    The staff were lovely, booking tours through them was good. Helped us organise laundry, good little restaurant. Air con kept the room cool at night.
