Good
Pros:

I like the swimming pool and the sunset.

Cons:

That its not at the center, the bathroom smells, and the color of the whole questhouse is not instagrammable the colors of the wall and their theme wether italian or filipino theme doesnt give justice to the pool that they have.

A special cosy place
Pros:

Excellent restaurant with a big compliment to the chef. We literally ate all meals in the restaurant over 3 days, looking forward to try the many dishes proposed on the menu. It is a rare gem to find this high quality cuisine with soul in Philippines. Thank you chef.

Cons:

The Aircon in our room does not cool very well. The staffs asked the technician to inspect it but the problem is more the size of the room is too big for the Aircon to cool down well.

Pros:

Nous avons adoré le lieu, c'est calme avec une jolie vue sur la mer et une piscine magnifique. Differents endroits sont disponibles pour manger et la déco est très soignée.
Notre chambre était également grande avec une superbe vue mer.
Le restaurant est très bon, notamment le petit déjeuner !
On a pu louer un scooter facilement et faire une lessive à bon prix.
L'hôtel dispose d'un tuctuc (Merci Ronald !), très pratique pour arriver et repartir.

Cons:

Rien

A picture perfect spot!
Pros:

The location was nice, removed from town with a picture perfect view. It’s a short scooter ride to town and Tubod Marine Sanctuary but feels really removed from the busyness of town.
The pool area is delightful and the restaurant/bar is a nice place to hang. The dogs are very sweet and the pool table is a nice bonus.
The deck views from the superior rooms are beautiful and those rooms are quite comfortable. The coffee, bar, and food were good quality and the staff were accommodating.

Cons:

We stayed 6 nights and moved rooms five times, which wasn’t particularly relaxing. We knew we’d be moving 2-3 times per availability, but 5 times seemed excessive. On the other hand it gave us first hand experience in the various rooms and we definitely recommend the superior rooms for comfort, view, and space.

Pros:

Good breakfast, we had the full bungalow with bedroom upstairs. Nice place.

Nice location, and steep road to get there. Good price for scooter rental, you’ll need it to explore the Island. Also they can provide tricycle/tuktuk to get to the port.

Pool was great, nice temperature and beautiful sight. The golden retrievers were too cute and well raised. We felt very safe with them and they did not beg for food or anything, this was not the case in the rest of the Philippines.

Cons:

Maybe the AC is too small to cool down the whole place because it was okay, but not cold while we had it on 16 degrees all the time. Room price is expensive, but one of the nicer stays for us in the Philippines.

Great stay in such a beautiful location
Pros:

Amazing view, good food in the restaurant, and very kind and attentive staff. It has everything you could need in a small island getaway.

Cons:

The pressure of the water in the shower was not strong at all but I suppose to be expected on such location.

Prachtige plek!
Pros:

Prachtige plek met nog mooier uitzicht. Het eten was erg goed en de familie kamer lekker ruim.

Cons:

De lieve huishonden blaffen gedurende de avond/nacht langdurig. Dit heeft ons aardig wat nachtrust gekost.
