Beach is gorgeous, staff amazing with sorting out diving, room was nice
Would’ve liked a mirror in the room or bathroom instead of hallway

Solo la ubicación. No lo recomiendo. Las fotos no son las mismas.
Las habitaciones son muy pequeñas y no estaban limpias. Tampoco nos cambiaron las sábanas y las toallas (4 días). El baño es muy pequeño y la ducha ni agua. Las fotos no son las mismas. La playa está ok pero por la mañana baja la marea y hay rocas. Nos permitieron modificar la reserva por teléfono y cuando nos fuimos no nos dejaron cambiarla por Booking y se quedaron con una noche. La guardia costera pasó por el hotel y avisó que había alerta de cancelación de salidas de botes por mal tiempo. Pues no avisaron a los huéspedes. No es lo que parece y el personal no resuelve adecuadamente los inconvenientes y su propia torpeza en el check out. El baño tenía una palangana para ducharse porque el agua no salía ni siquiera con presión. La habitación estaba minada de hormigas.

La ubicación inmejorable en la mejor playa de la isla, habitaciones limpias y cómodas, una escuela de buceo con instructores muy profesionales y el material de gran calidad. Billar gratis para los huéspedes.
Todo muy bien, pero como un pequeño apunte diría que falta un poco de variedad en el restaurante y algo de música por las tardes en la zona chill out.

On the side of the island with the pretty beaches so the location for laying on the beach was great i don’t dive
It was far from ANYTHING. Nothing is around so you’re stuck eating there and they don’t have good food. They have a dog which barks non stop so in the morning was the worst. Get rid of the dog

First of all: the guy at the reception and the guy at the beachbar (umbrellas, sunbeds) were exceptionally friendly and helpful! the other staff was also very friendly!
The rooms were super clean!!! nice breakfast included. we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come again!
it‘s the only place on north beach which is really nice but it‘s a bite far from all the other places and restaurants where other people hang out in the evening (40 minutes walk) so you need a motorbike. But it‘s also nice to be a bit off the crowded area, just to mention it :)

La playa estaba bien
Nada más llegar, cenamos y cuando fuimos a la zona de chill out descubrimos que todo els servicio del hotel estaban ocupando todos los puffs. Fuera llovía y no nos dejaron ni sentarnos. No hay wifi, no cobertura. Se va la luz con la lluvia y puedes quedarte horas así. No te ofrecerán nada que alumbre. El desayuno, horrible, dicen que no hay ciertos alimentos que luego sirven. Casi 3h de espera para las comidas y muy caras, nos dijeron que nos servirían la comida a las 17h tras haberla pedido a las 14.30h, tuvimos que reclamar y al final nos la entregaron más tarde aun. En el mercado pagamos menos de un cuarto del precio y todo estaba mucho más bueno. Los horarios del restaurante no son reales, a veces estará abierto a veces no. Es una lotería. No tiene nada cerca, lejos del centro. Las motos para alquilar super caras (la mitad de precio en el Puerto) . Precios de inmersiones mucho más caros que en el centro, y las buenas zonas para hacer inmersiones quedan en la otra punta de la isla.

O pessoal. Das pessoas mais simpáticas com que me cruzei na vida. Além do mais sempre cuidadosos, atenciosos e profissionais. De longe o melhor do hotel.
A comida, e devo ter provado quase tudo, é excelente.
As cadeiras na varanda eram incómodas. A internet tinha muitas falhas. Pelo que entendi estão a tratar disso.
Achei o valor da lavandaria exorbitante. Não gostei que tivessem cobrado 5% do valor total por utilizar o cartão de crédito. É uma má política, principalmente porque não avisam com antecedência.

I like the food, friendly and accomodating staffs. Clean pristine beach. I love their pets too.
The doorknob is not customer friendly, hardly to open. A lot of flies too.

They were so hospitable - we got welcome drinks upon arrival, as well as drinks after we got back from our dive. Although it was a bit further away from the town centre and the port on the island, it was peaceful, the beach didn't have as many boats along the sand as others on the island did and we were closer to the lighthouse & cliff jumping than other resorts as well.
Ants in the room but they didn't bother us too much. Hot water was a little bit hard to figure out.

The beach is like out of a dream andthe resort in one of the most beautiful locations on the island. The staff was super friendly and helpful, the food very good. There is a small village adjacent to the resort, and some stunning places like My Tablea Café and La Puesta del Sol (amazing sunset). Snorcheling as well as scuba diving were amazing 👍

Cheap, extensive food menu. Beautiful beach. Great service, fast and friendly. Dive shop very professional and friendly. Dive master is amazing. Owner was very easy going and friendly. Free new big bottle of water provided everyday. Stayed 3 nights. No regrets. Some beautiful lovely dogs on the property.
Roosters crowing constantly nearby all through the night. Wifi was iffy.

Nice lokality, connection via motorbikes to the center 24/7. Beautiful beach. Helpful staff. When we arrive, there were smoke from burning plastic. This cancer smoke come from neighborhood. If we ask on reception, they solved that.
Noise from cocks all night... There should be a cocks free area around the resorts....or local people should end this animal cruel activity. One philipino guy ask me to write it here to open eyes of lokals. So if you want to sleep and help animals write about this cruel "tradition"

Some of the staff were nice, the room was clean, nice pool table.
The reception staff was umpleasant, welcomed us with sour face: the first thing they did was give us a list of the hotel's rules, what is forbidden and what is not & asked for 1000 peso deposit. This is not the way to welcome your guests.
The day before we arrived, we have asked if they could pick us up from the Pier, they asked for 1000 peso!
only after we said we will get there independently, they wrote that a scooter can be arranged for 50-100 peso.
We arrived independently in 50 peso.
The rooms are located on the main access trail of the hotel, dozens of people pass through the room all day, there is no privacy at all.
In front of the rooms within 2 feet away is located a children's playgroundand, behind the room a bunch of roosters cluck non stop.
The wall of the room, in front of the bed full of holes and peeled color. photos attached.
At breakfast we received untoasted toasts. We asked for well done toasts. after 15 minutes we got the exact same toasts.
We asked for banana shake and got a water flavored shake.
