    Location was nice, unfortunately there is no road for transportation. It is a good location for backpackers but if you have luggages it is difficult to walk and reach the resort. Overall if you are looking for quite and relaxation it is a place for you.

    Common toilet didn't lock. My breakfast was served 45 minutes later and there was a fly in the sauce.

    Great location and good value

    You have to walk to get there, they didn’t make our room none of the 3 nights , and the restaurant never has food when you asked for something

    It was infront of the beach and the staff is amazing, I think they are the best thing at the hostel , but really comfy and relaxing

    Going from parking to the hostel was challenging especially the rough road (you need to call the hostel to arrange to have someone pick you up or drop you off so you will have a guide). To be fair, this was communicated ahead of time to manage expectations, and the hostel staff were helpful about this. During my stay there was a water interruption and they had no back-up water tank and it was hard to carry water to the rooms upstairs. Even the restaurant could not serve food because there was no water to use.

    Beachfront location was fantastic. You can just hang around the beach chairs while looking out to the sea. The area is quiet and peaceful. There's also a resto which serves a basic menu (prices are okay) but food is passable if you dont want the hassle of going out. Staff are very friendly and helpful, quite welcoming of the guests. There were also dogs and puppies that were friendly to pet. I love the friendly vibe of the hostel.

    This place has great potential, but both indoors and outdoors are in “alright” state, so it felt not very taken care of. The bathroom was very outdated and not clean. There was a cockroach, and there were stains and spiderwebs everywhere. The entire place (rooms, outdoors, dinning tables, ventilation system, pillows, etc) could use some deep cleaning and a low-cost but effective update. If either the bathroom was better, or the outdoors facilities were well maintained (lounge furniture, grass, clean dinning tables, remove construction trash, etc) it would balance out. If we didn’t pay in advance, likely we would have left after 1 night.

    Location was fantastic, right at the beach, and very well located within Panglao. The outdoors area is nice and has so much potential, but it wasn’t well maintained, so it’s alright, but a missed opportunity. The staff were very nice and always helpful. Really attentive and welcoming.

    The road to the hostel was closed so we had to drag our luggages from the parking further away... Staff helped us with tuktuk to bring it though at the end. We had an apartment for 4 people, but the 2 places were just bed mattresses on the floor.

    I like that it was located right at the beach. The beach huts where cute. The Staff was friendly.

    The bed details when booking were misleading. Instead of getting 2 twin beds and 1 full bed, our room has 1 queen bed and extra bed. Also, I hope they improve their service. Some staffs are friendly and helpful. Still a good place, but needs a lot if improvement.

    The place is really nice. Its beach front. If you are looking for serene vibes, its good place. The drinks were also amazing.

    - main road to the accomodation is closed, you have to walk from parking for a few minutes - can be difficult in night and/or with luggages - ants everywhere (noones fault)

    - this place is straight on the beach, but with minimum people - sunbeds with great view for clients - bar&restaurant opened till late evening - helped us with scooter rental - aircon & fan in the room

    The hotel is on a very quiet, peaceful and incredible beach ! You barely see people on the ocean front and have space to feel true peace. The staff and manager are very friendly and sweet but still something in the organization is not working smoothly enough. We had a request for an extra bed (our original request) And it took them the whole day to get it done . We received a room without warm water and asked to move so they moved our stuff when we where away instead of preparing us ahead of time . The trail to the hotel is difficult and they didn’t contact us before arrival to prepare a ride or staff member who can help us with the luggage. I asked to rent a motorbike but they gave me a very heavy one and didn’t prepare me ahead with the hazards and I fell from the bike.. With all the issues I still think this place has a special atmosphere for people who aren’t spoiled and want an authentic and very peaceful experience. I know they are a very new business and hope in the future they will improve In the quality of the place and the service efficiency. I know they also have a tricycle that was being fixed and with it it’s easier to get in and out of the hotel area.

    Food serving takes too long. Oftentimes the staff would forget the remaining orders (e.g. drinks) so we would need to get up again and follow up. Breakfast took too long to be served given it was only longganisa and an egg and should take max 10mine to prepare as there were also not much people in the restaurant at that time.

    The beach is just right in front of the resort.

    The right of way was close and you need to walk for 5mins from the shore. It is a bit hassle especially if you have a lot of things you bring. Hope you can resolved this because the place is so beautiful and very relaxing.

    The food is good and reasonable price and staff are very helpful and accommodating. Beachfront and quiet place and very relaxing..

    The road going to the main accommodation is not suitable to elderly clients. Very steep and rough road plus it is a bit far walk from the parking area. Not ideal if you have heavy bags.

    The place itself is instagram worthy.

    But the rooms are not very clean, our bathroom door was broken and the sink was leaking. The motorbike ride to the accommodation is difficult. If you park on the paved road, it takes 5 minutes to walk to the accommodation around the beach

    Beautiful beach, romantic cottages and surroundings.
