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!

It’s not cheap but you get what you paid for. Very hospital staff though you get looks if you are solo. Not a lot of people last Sept which i love. Free airport pick up and boat transfer. Outside food is not allowed unless you pay for corkage. Dining options are expensive and limited options. Overall, it was a nice experience.
