    “A resort with affordable yet absolutely not cheap services.”

    It's great for a quiet break! The restaurant is delicious but a bit salty. The breakfast is tasty. The beach right in front is crystal clear! The pool is deep and clean, but not very wide. The lifeguards are very attentive and helpful! It's a resort I want to visit again, just a 5-minute walk from Bluewater Maribago with a private shortcut!

    “It's the best!!”

    It was a little difficult to catch a Grab since it was somewhat far from the city center, but the room condition was very good, the refrigerator was large, the room was spacious, and the staff were very friendly. The pool was clean and everything was great. I really enjoyed my stay.

    “A cozy accommodation where I could relax and heal!”

    I visited with my child and another person, and the staff were really kind. The room was spacious and the bed was big, which was great! The swimming pool had clean water, and it was wonderful to swim while enjoying the sea view!

    “Vacation with family.”

    The swimming pool, breakfast, and hygiene were all satisfactory. Unlike other accommodations, there weren't many Korean travelers, which gave us a private feel, and there were security staff at the entrance of the accommodation, allowing us to stay comfortably and at ease. Thanks to that, I spent happy and enjoyable moments with my family. If I visit again, I would love to stay here again.

    “3-night stay review”

    The staff were very helpful, and the cleanliness of the room was excellent. The swimming pool was clean, and the security was top-notch! I recommend it to Koreans! It's near Cebu island hopping, pirate hopping, and gold hopping!
