Great luxury hotel that is extremely close to the airport. I was here for a lay over but would return for an extended stay if I was in Zamboanga for a longer period of time.

I stayed twice at this property, and my experiences were mixed. The single deluxe room needed a lot of TLC. The bathroom sink was falling apart, the shower had a lot of lime scale, the towels are thin and almost threadbare, there were lines of tiny ants crawling up the walls. But at least the AC worked fine, the bed was comfortable and the sheets were clean. The Superior King room was in much better condition (but they still need to work on cleaning those shower fixtures). They have a restaurant on-site. If you're a little more adventurous, there is a market right beside it where you can get fruit and veggies and fresh-grilled fish for dinner. Best part of my stay was the staff - they were always helpful and professional. If you choose to stay, upgrade to the Superior King.

Everything was fine except the wifi is so slow and as bad as no internet connection. And also I booked for a week but they only cleaned the room once. They said I have to pay additional for room service but other hotels aren't like that: they clean everyday. But overall, I had a good stay.

Great staff, poor conditions

Staff was great, but hotel conditions and cleanliness were very low. Was greeted by a giant roach I got to kill, no soap or shampoo in the bathroom and mold and mildew in bathroom. I also question whether sheets had been changed. No daily bed service or soap, etc. This was not an inexpensive place to stay and should have been in better condition.
