wonderful family stay

sunset viewbonus poolpoor breakfast

the sunsets was fantastic, we could watch every evening. the additional swimming pool was specifically reserved for those staying in premium rooms, this was a great bonus. main grounds are spacious and rooms are clean, i am grateful for that.

the breakfast was the same daily, with very few changes, this was salty, with poor choices, just eggs. the hotel looked old. it needs a make-over, i think.

Location

the hotel has an unbeatable location, it is literally steps away from the beach. the resort is near fine small restaurants. a automatic laundry is also situated nearby, very convenient.

very nice stay in bungalow

roomy bungalowgreat beachfriendly serviceshelf space

the bungalow was very roomy and provided everything i needed. a great beach was at a walking distance. the service at the front desk was friendly, they booked a taxi to the pier for me. breakfast buffet had many choices like bread, eggs, jam, fruits, and juice.

i found a lack of shelf space in the room for storing clothes. the day to day was difficult, especially keeping a tidy room. a proper mat to wipe sand off your shoes at the porch would have been useful.

the resort is situated on the west coast, and i found it close to saladan town. the distance to the pier takes approximately 4 minutes by motorcycle. a walk to the pier would take around 25 minutes.
