It seems like this hotel is mainly known for their restaurant as the people working there were always asking how many people for dinner when they were seeing us walked in. ||||We rented the family room so we were on the 3rd floor. ||||A few flaw in the room:||1- Water heater keep tripping if it is set above "low", hence hot water is not really hot. After diving is can be quite aggravating. ||2- The water tank located on top of our room was quite noisy and we could hear a "plop Plop Plop" sound all night long as the room are really not soundproof. ||3- No blockout curtain in the room, hence the big window right next to the bed will shine bright really early which makes it difficult to sleep in. ||4- They only provide you with a flat sheet, we understand that the weather is hot, but it is not comfortable. it is nice to sleep under something a bit more heavy. Hence, I put 2 towels on top of my flat sheet in order to sleep. ||5- The WIFI keeps tripping, the connection is really not reliable, I don't know it it was the hotel or the network over there so I won't comment too much on this. ||6- For breakfast, you get only 1 egg with bread, or 1 egg with rice. I wish I could have a bit more. I could not understand that the food for lunch and dinner was so nice but choice of food for breakfast was really ordinary. ||||On a brighter note, the staff is amazing and really nice. They pay attention to details and they care about you. ||||They did all our booking for us from taxi to boat. They were really nice and knowledgeable. ||||We were able to rent motorbike at 300 pesos per day which was helpful...

Looks like this hotel was built sometime in 1980-es and it pretty much remains in that times. Very little upgrading or renovation was done since.|| Its location is a bit far away from everything unless you are ok and fit enough to walk for 10 min on a busy road in heat and humidity. Otherwise take a tuk-tuk for 100 php one way. There is a short cut to Alona beach and everything else but it ends in a "private property - do not tresspass" sign although you can still walk through there, very steep, made out of the rock stairs lead to the beginning of Alona Beach, a lot of rocks there - watch your step ! I would not advise to walk there in a darkness.||Some good restaurants are there on Alona Beach, money changers, many locals offering tours - i booked with some of them, it was very good, especially one guy, his name is Peter - he makes very good arrangements. ||Electricity goes off quite often in that area although not for long. ||Room amenities are not bad but during my stay hot water box in the shower broke and had to be fixed. Then internet router for my room broke too, i checked out before they could repair it.||Staff is nice and helpful there and the food in the restaurant is lovely. But breakfast is ridiculously limited - 1 egg (fried or scrambled), you need to ask if you want more eggs, some sausage or fish and plain rice, fruits - watermelon and pineapple, orange juice or iced tea, some time they make pancakes - that is all their...
