Very good
Pros:

Clean and a few steps away from the beach. Very close to the Bulalacao port, approximately 2-3 mins by drive, making it a perfect stop to break the long drive if travelling by ferry to other islands like Caticlan.

Cons:

Very weak wifi/data connectivity, esp inside the cabins/rooms.

Nice place but no food allowed and no selection of food even on their resto.
Pros:

The place is nice.

Cons:

There is no food available in the restaurant and because the place is far from inner city. No food allowed and there's a corkage fee but they cant offer food as well. Breakfast we tried to order but there is only but sausage and rice and nothing else.

Good resort in Bululacao that is uniquely designed
Pros:

Well designed resort with small houses as rooms for guests. It is well decorated with colorful flowers and green grass. They organize island hopping trips to some great islands.

Cons:

Wifi is really weak in the rooms. The water on the beach is sometimes dirty.

Very pleasant stay.
Pros:

Very friendly and helpful staff, location close to port is perfect for travelers who want to continue to Caticlan. Place is a work of passion, owner is trying to maintain it very well.

Cons:

It would be helpfull to have something where one can hang their things to dry. Maybe one rope/string below the roof in the room?
