For the price, disappointing to say the least. Mistake. I INSISTED ON STAYING IN THIS PLACE.
Pros:

Excellent STAFF/SERVICE. Koi Restaurant (except grilled squid), big breakfasts. Purple tarnate drink RECOMMENDED BY STAFF (thank you!). Saving grace: Abueva sculptures. Well-maintained grounds.

Cons:

Super-Hyped online presentation HALF-backed by reality. Cleanliness/room maintenance.
1, No water kettle!!!! Hot water for COFFEE (!) from a gasping water DISPENSER with an unwashed cover.
2. Rooms booked were in separate buildings, not as requested.
3. Insects/mosquitoes in the room.
4. Moldy, dusty tables in work area.
5. Old water dispenser, hard to operate, ran out of water. Had to call for replacement water container.
6. Had to call for towels.
6. Unwashed pullout-bed linen/cover. Can't be removed/changed or sprayed to refresh. We refused to have it sprayed with toxic Baygon.
7.Grilled squid returned/replaced: smelly, half-cooked, tasteless. Excuse was that it was frozen.
8. Chocolate Museum; exactly that--half the stuff for sale are non-existent, display only. Waiter had to run and get chocolate drink from Koi Restautant.
9. Jenny from spa FUSSED over intial Whatsap contact but NEVER acknowledged a booking for a chocolate facial. Radio silence. Unprofessional.

Decent stay, but wouldn't recommend it to my friends nor to anyone looking for a comfortable stay
Pros:

Breakfast is decent, not the best compared to previous resorts I have stayed at.

Cons:

The staff at the check-in desk is the worst attendant I have experienced and the driver that picked us up form the room to transport us at the lobby is so lazy, didn't even helped us with our luggage and didn't even said good morning, ugh!

Relax in Seclusion
Pros:

Good resort despite the secluded location.

Cons:

The entire property is nearly shut down after 9pm. There is literally only one staff member running the entire resort at that time.

Pros:

Property includes all that you need for your stay. The staff is very nice and helpful, too. Grounds are well taken care of, but the roads are a bit bumpy. Rooms could be better. Largest bed is a double bed only. A disappointment. A queen size bed would have been much better. We stayed in Palmera Villa. Room condition was very clean. However some of the cabinets and furniture need repairs as cabinet doors don't shut. Very nice large bay windows in the rooms. I guess they only have twin size flat sheets because we didn't get one on the double bed.

Only 1 true restaurant unless there is an event of some kind which is Koi Cafe. Breakfast ok, but food items were too focused on the sweet side, but they had eggs made to order, steamed rice, and garlic rice. We only ate breakfast and dinners at Koi Cafe. We did not have lunches, but we could have at either the Koi cafe or the Viewdeck cafe next to the pool.

For dinners, we had Sizzling pucit (squid), Teryaki chicken, pizza, fried chicken (wings only), and Alfredo pasta and some deserts. Squid was good, Teriyaki chicken was good, Pizzas were good, but they needed to be cooked longer as the bottoms were not browned, breading on fried chicken had no seasoning at all, Alfredo pasta was spaghetti with parmasan cheese sprinkled on it - virtually no sauce, if any. Price a bit steap.

Kids enjoyed chocolate making, feeding birds, and bird shows. They have been protecting the birds and environment for 20+ years.

Pros:

The resort is self-contained so once you enter you have all you need within the premises. The Chocolate Museum is a one of a kind, producing World Renowned Chocolate, in front of your eyes. Many activities for children. Bird shows, games, swimming pool, arts and crafts. The food is very good and high quality served in ample proportions or buffet style at times

Pros:

It's a wonderful environment. I love nature so I loved staying here.

Actually, our room had problems with water supply and showers. However, the staffs tried their best to improve. Despite heavy rain.

Although there were a few issues, the service provided was more than adequate. Breakfast was very delicious. The front staff was really nice to me. I will definitely stay again someday.

Geat stay
Pros:

we were received very well by a polite staff. After check-in we got a welcome drink and cake before being taken to the room which was nice. We were also informed about sights in the area of ​​the hotel and places nearby. The food was very good and the swimming pool was clean and the place is great for families with children. It is quiet and peaceful in scenic surroundings and they also have a show with birds. We had a very nice stay and would recommend this hotel.
