I found this hotel to be a great spot for those venturing into freediving, especially for budget travelers. The accommodations are basic but clean, and I appreciated the daily yoga sessions and the delicious meals available at the restaurant. However, the noisy environment from cats and roosters and the lack of hot water were less than ideal. Overall, it's an affordable choice but may not suit everyone.

Rooms

The rooms were quite basic and did not feature a shower, but at $21 a night, you can't expect luxury. The mattress was soft, which was nice, but there was no hot water, just cold showers.
Service
7.0
The service was a bit of a mixed bag. Sometimes the staff were extremely friendly, but you could feel the tension with management. Room service was only offered every other day.
Location

The hotel is about a 400-meter walk from a decent beach, which is great for sunrise views. It's not exactly close to other attractions but manageable with a motorbike.
Dining
8.0
The restaurant on-site served up some fantastic vegetarian dishes, with my favorites being the smoothie bowl and daily specials for dinner. Breakfast could use a bit more variety, though.
Facilities
7.0
The facilities were nothing fancy, but the circular pool was enjoyable. It's a budget-friendly spot focused on freediving rather than luxury amenities.

I had a mixed experience at this resort. The staff was always smiling and super helpful, and the complimentary breakfast offered some delicious Filipino options that I enjoyed. However, the shared fan room had some major downsides, like thin walls that let in a lot of noise and a broken toilet seat. Plus, the recycled seawater for the shower was a bit too strong and annoying. Overall, while the location is decently close to the beach, the room situation wasn't ideal for comfort and privacy.

The hotel is a welcoming place, with a particularly cheerful and helpful staff. The complimentary breakfast offers a nice start to the day, featuring delicious Filipino options. However, the fan room leaves much to be desired due to the noisy walls and shared bathroom situation. Plus, the shower pressure was annoyingly strong. Overall, I would consider returning despite some drawbacks.

Rooms

I stayed in a fan room which was quite spacious, but the thatched bamboo walls made it a bit noisy from neighboring rooms. Also, the shared bathroom was awkward at times.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, making our stay pleasant. The location was ideal, away from the busyness but still close to the beach. However, the cleanliness of the rooms left much to be desired, and we had issues with water pressure and a broken toilet seat. While the complimentary breakfast was decent, it could use more variety. Overall, the value for money was fair, but there were some disappointing aspects that detracted from the stay.

My stay at this resort was quite mixed. While it had a convenient location close to the beach, my overall experience was overshadowed by the poor condition of the accommodations and terrible smell around the property. The staff were helpful at times, especially in organizing outings, but the subpar dining options and noisy environment made things less enjoyable. I would recommend looking elsewhere for a better experience.

Rooms
5.0
The rooms were in a disappointing condition, with issues like lack of hot water and poor cleanliness. One room even had a cockroach infestation, which was quite unsettling.
Service
5.0
The service was inconsistent; while the reception staff tried their best to assist, the restaurant service was painfully slow and inattentive.
Location
6.0
The hotel is fairly close to the beach but is a bit isolated from more vibrant areas. It takes about 30 minutes to Tagbilaran, which isn't ideal if you're looking to explore.
Dining
5.0
Breakfast was quite underwhelming, with limited and often cold options that didn't really hit the mark.
Facilities
5.0
The pool area was uninviting and seemed poorly maintained, which was a letdown given the expectations for a resort.
