괜찬습니다

바다가 바로 보이는데 리조트입니다 룸상태는 깨끗한편이며 하우스키핑 친절하며 청소도 잘해주었습니다 레스토랑 직원은 불친절하며 교육이 필요할듯 합니다 아쉬운점은 무료 제공되는 물이 업고 번화가에서 살짝 먼거리 입니다 다이버들에겐 최고 이지만 일반 관광객은 비추입니다

Our Vacation

There are some better looking hotels next door. Bring your own sunscreen and alo Vera if you burn (50spf). Don't drink the hotel drinks 3-5x the market cost which is a 2min walk.

STAY AT ANOTHER PLACE! IT'S A DIVE!

The overall condition of this place is run down and in need of renovation. We stayed on the second level in one of the rooms pictured in their add. The AC worked well at night when the sun went down but barely able to make a dent in the Philippine heat during the day. The hot water was just above luke warm temp never hot. other than a general sweep up of the room and scrub of the commode cleanliness was lacking with soap scum visible on the shower stalls. The pool water was green with algae, complete with a sign above the pool that it would cost you 100 peso if you dared to swim in it. The "free wifi" did not work in the room and if you want wifi you had to go outside and sit by their office for a slow connection. The room was about the size of our jail cells in the U.S. And if you wanted to eat anything the restaurant has Korean food only. The Korean guests also made a habit of partying very loudly until after 11 pm every night and there's no recourse because there is no refund with their promo room rate. The only plus was the filipino staff who were always friendly, courteous and tried to help with what they had to work with.

Sehr enttäuscht.

Ich bin sehr enttäuscht von diesem Hotel. Für den Preis gab keinen Safe, das Wifi funktionierte nicht in jedem Zimmer und der Pool war mehr ein Betonloch für übende Taucher. Nach einem heissen Tagesausflug wollten wir um 18.30 da trotzdem noch eine Erfrischung nehmen. Leider wurde das und aber verwehrt. Am Pool war noch angeschrieben 8.00 a.m bis 8.00 p.m. Hotel voller Koreanischer Gäste. Das einzige was 2x reibungslos funtionierte war der Abholservice und die Rückreise an den Airport.

Nie wieder in dieses Hotel

Das einzig schöne am Zimmer war di Aussicht, dafür musste man auch 70 Tritte hoch!! Wlan funktioniert nicht im Zimmer, nur teilweise an der Reception. Duschmittel/ Shampo gab es keines, der Deckenventilator lief nicht, der Safe konnte ich nicht Inbetrieb nehmen nach drei mal an der Reception gemeldet, habe ich es aufgegeben. Sogar das Trinkwasser im Zimmer musste man bezahlen. Öffnungszeiten Pool sind bis 20.00 angeschrieben, um 18.00 liessen sie uns nicht mehr rein. Das einzige das klappte war der Transfer mit Boot und Minibus den das Hotel für uns Organisierte

푹 잘 쉬다 갑니다^^

일단 전체적으로는 만족할만한 리조트 입니다. 머무실때는 가능하면 디럭스룸을 추천드려요 일반 스탠다드룸은 나쁘진 않지만 몇가지 불편한것들이 있어요 그래도 에어컨과 선풍기는 정말 빵빵하게 나오고 따듯한물도 잘 나옵니다. 사장님과 직원분들 모두 친절하구요 음식도 맛있습니다. 리조트내에 1.5M와 2M 수영장이 같이 있어서 스노클링이나 다이빙전에 연습과 교육차 수영하기 좋아요 이곳을 예약하실땐 리조트가 체험다이빙 및 자격증 다이빙 교육도 겸하고 있어서 같이 이용하시는것도 좋을것 같습니다. 리조트 지나서 바로 옆에 레스토랑 하나 있는데 이곳에 비혼 이라는 음식과 마늘밥은 꼭 드셔보세요~ 추천드립니다^^

한국인을 위한 리조트~^^

사방지역의 호텔치고 청결한편입니다. 무엇보다 한국인 사장님이셔서 한국 분들께 모든직원들이 친절합니다. 기본 룸이 로비에서 가까워 이동도 좋고 와이파이도 잘잡혀서 좋지만 디럭스룸은 큰방과 발코니가 있어 나중에 둘중 고르라면 살짝 고민을 할듯합니다.

생각보다 허름한 숙소에 놀랬다. 변기도 고장나있고 ;;; 가격은 5만원인데... 옆에 살짝 작은 호텔이 3만원.... 모라 할말이 없다.. 내부 형광등만 좀 신경을 썼어도 더 나아질꺼라 생각이 든다. 불이 너무 어둡다.. 형광등만 좀 개선하면 더 나은 숙소가 되리라 생각한다.

다이버에게 알맞은 호텔

가격에 비해 괜찮은 숙소이나 현지 물가가 싼 관계로 가격의 메리트는 크게 없다. (1~2만원/박 차이) 하지만 다이빙 여행자라면 추천한다. 정갈한 음식이나 한산한 위치, 편안한 분위기 등 전체적으로 만족스러울 것이다.
