Belmar Eco Park & Beach Resort — Attraction in Sarangani

I haven't been to Belmar in it's cleanest days. But when we went there, the restaurant area smells like public toilet, the fries we ordered smelled like fish. And the rest smells bad and not fresh. They're currently building new rooms but the room we got has molds in the bathroom. They also have animals in cages...they are emaciated and dehydrated. The cages are also too small.
