    The location was peaceful, but you need a motorbike (400-500 PHP) if you don’t want to eat at the resort’s restaurant, which has relatively high prices. Unfortunately, the resort only accepts cash payments, no credit cards, which was a bit inconvenient. The internet was sometimes unstable or unavailable on the premises and in the room.

    The room was spacious and clean, with a large bathroom, closet, refrigerator, and balcony. Free room service was available by notifying the reception. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the property had a pool and easy, quick access to the beach.

    Room was so spacious and nice. It would help to add a sofa or some nice furniture to be able to sit. Pool was nice but could not often be used, because it was treated.

    Nice beachfront resort, clean quiet, beautiful beach and friendly staff, very spacious room

    This is a place for those who want to stay at the resort all day~ strolling at the beach and watch the sunset. Here is not so touristy but quite nice.

    During our visit there was improvement work going on which added noise throughout our stay. I assume this was prep for their busier periods but detracted form our enjoyment. Need more fresh fruit options at breakfast!

    Beautiful location and views. Quiet and secluded location. Had an excellent meal here of BBQ fish. Staff very helpful. Breakfast tasty and coffee good ( though not in large enough quantities for me! )

    the location of this resort is quiet far and even it’s hard to walk to the main road. Unlike other resorts, this resort also didnot include any free shuttle, and also the transportation they provide, the price is twice or even much higher than the market price, eg motocycle rental 700P/day vs other resort 300-350P/day, transportation to airport 700P/car vs other resort free transportation, or 200P. If you don’t have any car/ motorcycle, I highly suggest don’t choose this hotel. The beach is not private, full of local citizens, super noise.

    Good location for sunset.

    It was very clean and comfortable. The staff were excellent and most helpful.

    No TV in the rooms. There is a slight smell in water. The pool could of done with a shock of chlorine. The beach was OK, but nothing to write home about.

    The food at the restaurant was amazing. Probably the best we have had in the Philippines. We didn't have breakfast, but ate dinner there every night. The bed was big and comfy. We hired a scooter from Hotel, which was so worth it. Right on the beach and easy to adopt a stray puppy, which there are a few.

    There were too many mosquitoes in the room that we checked in and barely slept for the first day… Then there were too many ants on the floor that they got into my bag on the second day… This dramatically lowered down the experience of the stay that I almost booked another hotel regardless of the refunds…

    It’s a beautiful resort along side of Dojo beach. The sunset is amazing and the resort is so calm to relax.

    DO NOT STAY - Property under construction
    • Leisure trip

    - Our hotel door lock was broken so we couldn’t secure our door - The pictures on all booking platforms do not reflect the current hotel at all - Pool: Building under construction in front of pool, drilling, hammering, sawing all day - Dining area: Chipboard around posts, different basic seats, no linen curtains - Cabanas on sea do not exist, cabanas on hotel grounds are destroyed and sitting in a wooden pile - ‘Wellness area’ does not exist, instead an empty building with broken glass/ satellite dish. - Different furniture (fold up white plastic picnic tables seen etc) We paid an excruciating amount of money to stay based on the photos (PHP25,000 or £335 for 4 nights), the reality is very different and we did not end up staying here. The staff acknowledged that the photos did not reflect the hotel at all because of the construction works and said they were waiting for the work to finish (which appear months/ years away) before uploading new photos, which means upcoming visitors will have no idea as the hotel does not give you any warning about this. Despite this all staff on site had no authority to discuss the situation and the manager ‘Mildred’ was ‘uncountable’ (and has remained uncountable for the last 3 weeks as we try to reach out by telephone). Instead the ‘uncountable’ manager told the staff to give us a 20% refund despite us not staying because of all the above discrepancies/ noise from construction.

    - The room was lovely and also clean - The staff on site were lovely and attentive (serving water when we were talking outside etc)

    There is no spa, the seashore in front of the property is full of plastic littering - they just clean the beach , twice per day the low sea tide brings up a cemetery of sachets and plastic waste . During my stay they organised a birthday party with live music , like for twelve hours I was bombarded by this music that was so loud , that I could not even speak on the phone or sleep in my room. I heard the major of the town was attending it, so obviously they didn’t care for their guests . They even blocked the passage to the beach , I needed to jump over the fence to get back towards my room .The restaurant is ok , but they also served me spoiled watermelon - I needed to send it back to the kitchen . I would not say it’s a good value for the money , sorry ( paid over 130 euro per night and not even the breakfast was included , nor a safe in the room - rooms are very basic but still clean and all in all ok ) . The location is also far away from everything, you will need a 20 mins tricycle ride to the next settlement ( which is ok if you just want to be secluded there, I enjoyed at times). I would not recommend it

    They don’t use single use plastic , the garden and the view on the sea are very nice
