Attention, il y a deux emplacements à cet hôtel. Island front qui est plutôt sympas comme sur les photos qui donne sur la plage .C'est là que vous allez etre accueilli. Et l'autre Island Front II . ( le chercher pas . Vous ne le trouvez pas) C'est en fait quelques chambres coincées le long d'un mur sale , entourées de constructions pas fini ou en travaux .Le tout assez gloque. La chambre se retrouve du coup très sombre . Même si elle est propre avec une salle de bain privée . Le prix est élevé pour sa situation decrite ci-dessus . Je déconseille .

Not what is in the photos.

The room is good if you are completely desperate. The room is not what is advertised on the website and we where taken down a dark and dirty allyway. The sea view? Forget it unless you go for breakfast where if you ask for one of the eggs or pancakes that are advertised its a big effort for them. Lots of eye rolling from all the staff if you need even a sheet for the bed its the least i would expect for £18 a night. Over all, one of the worst stays ive had in 4 months travelling. I would list everything as im traveling to port Barton (350 if you go to the bus station not 600 like they advertise) but its not worth losing more wasted time. Just avoid.

Ok place if you're not picky & doesn't expect much

The room we stayed in is about 2 mins walk from their main building which we didn't expect. Their restaurant is directly in front of the beach so that was good.

Erinomainen hinta-laatusuhde

Ei mikään 5-tähden resortti, mutta tarjoaa erinomaisen laadun suhteessa hintaan - enpä ole ennen löytänyt ILMASTOINNILLISTA huonetta suoraan rannalta hintaan 1500 PHP. Huoneen (#17) sisustuksessa oli jopa pientä kunnianhimoa, rakennettu 2 tasoon ja suihkuhuone oli erillään wc:stä. Ilmastoinnin lisäksi kattotuuletin, moskiittoverkon asensivat pyynnöstä. Vessapaperia joutuu tinkaamaan respasta, mutta saa kun pyytää. Ravintola ei niin kaksinen ja juomien hinnat aivan yläkanttiin, ei liene resortin operoima. Aamupala aika yksipuolinen, mutta ilmaista pikakahvia saa tankata 24/7. Wifi toimii niinkuin kaikkialla Filippiineillä - joskus ja jouluna.

Det var okay. Fik du bedbugs på det ene værelse, men servicen var god, så fik et lækkert værelse efterfølgende som var rigtigt godt. Jeg kan anbefale det hvis man vil bo billigt og centralt. Jeg har heller aldrig set så smuk en solnedgang i mit liv, virkeligt fantastisk. Hotellets betjening var rigtig god og vi var på nogle rigtig fine toure. Alt i alt en okay oplevelse. Jeg vil dog ikke booke det igen. Der var udover det morgenmad hver morgen som var rigtigt rigtigt lækkert. Det kan klart anbefales!!!!!!. Minus er igen rengøringen, puha! Vandet i bruseren var beskidt. Og toiletterne kunne ikke skyldes ud. Der var gekkoer inde på vores andet hotel værelse, hvor vi alle blev Mega bange og ikke vidste hvad vi skulle gøre, men de hjalp os heldigvis. En opsummering;Plusser: staffet, Morgenmad,Udsigten, Stranden, Godt og flot sted.Godt til prisen.Minusser:Rengøring, Gekkoer på værelset, Larm, i kunne måske skrive til dem, at den skal få deres rengøring forbedret, så ville stedet virkeligt være rigtigt godt, for alt andet fungere på stedet. Og at de skal have styr på skadedyr, det er ikke særligt bekvemt at sove med en stor gekko på værelset, og få væglus i det andet værelse man får. Det er til gengæld rart at de gør noget ved det man siger til dem, de er bestemt ikke ligeglade!. Så det er rigtigt godt :). De er så søde og rare!!! Virkeligt. Knus kram fra 3 danskere, som ikke vil glemme deres ophold på både godt og ondt. Hvis tingene bliver forbedret. Så kan det være at vi kommer.

Not again.

My first room was not the best one, really. It was quite eerie and it wasn't so comfortable. I had to go to the reception and got a room change- I got upgraded to another room. It was okay. I stayed for 4 nights and some nights there were some bugs or some sort of animal under the wall- it was scary! I won't stay again- breakfast buffet but it wasn't worth it. Also, only the reception has internet and because the walls are made of bamboo and wood- it was quite hard to get a cellular coverage. I had to go outside and it was not good- mosquitoes.

Skittent og useriøst hotel

Oppholdet vårt ble ikke en bra opplevelse. Det begynte med at vi måtte bytte rom 2 ganger, første gang på grunn av et dyr på størrelse med en rotte som løp over taket (som er laget av en type strå), på neste rom var det en gigantisk øgle, som på toppen av det hele la ifra seg avføring på en av sekkene våre da vi var ute av rommet, i tillegg var doen tett. På siste rom var det heller ikke bra, gulvet var veldig skittent med tydelige flekker og det krydde av maur på badet og vinduene var ikke mulig å låse, en konsekvens av dette ble at en bikini av våres ble stjålet mens den hang til tørk over dusjen, vi sa ifra til hotellmanageren, som tydelig ikke tok det seriøst. Det at dette kan skje viser hvor utrygt dette hotellet er. Vi gikk bak for å se hva som befant seg bak dette vinduet, og der oppdaget vi en rønne med flere slumhus.. utrolig at vi ikke ble advart. I hotellomtalen står det at det er både wifi og klesvask, ingen av disse er tilgjengelig på hotellet. Frokosten var heller ikke bra, og Vi mistenker at denne er årsaken til en matforgiftelse vi fikk under oppholdet, da omtrent alle hotelgjestene på en tidspunkt var matforgiftet. Første dagen med frokost ble vår siste. Kommer aldri til å anbefale eller besøke dette hotellet igjen.

Noisy, RATS

Extremely noisy due to proximity to road, hotel construction, many dogs and roosters. The worst part was the RATS - heard them squeaking below the floorboards as I went to bed. In the morning I found they had chewed through several clothing items and pooped in my bags. I had put some snacks high up on a shelf and they got to them too. Rats.

Avoid if possible.

It is better to pay more and stay in another resort. The walls of the rooms are paper-thin and noises from outside can be heard clearly. We stayed in Island Front II for 4 days and our room was not cleaned once during that time. On day 3 I took our used towels to reception to exchange them for clean ones. I also asked for a plastic bag to relieve the overflowing trashcan in our bathroom. We had no not water for the first 3 days and our sink became blocked after day 2. Albeit the property is older than others in the areas, there is truely no excuse for such poor standards. Part of the property is also under construction and there were building materials loose underfoot along the route to our room. Lack of lighting in the vicinity made this unsafe. Until the proprietors of this hotel up their standards I would not recommend anyone to stay there.

Not a place to stay..

Place is really bad, staffs are not helpful, the room and toilet sucks. It is the place only to crash for a night only if you have a flight to catch next day and you don't wanna spend your night in airport or more money.
