The facility is really wonderful. From cleanliness to amenities, is awesome. My son enjoyed the water sports. But weren’t able to do jetskiiing because they were out of gasoline but not a big deal. I would give them more than ten point score especially the staff by the registration desk they went out of their way to help me fix my double booking issue. Thank you very much.

I got my money's worth. This is like a boutique hotel. A few rooms. Staff was very attentive, considerate, and helpful. Room was clean. Amenities were very good. Breakfast was a "real breakfast", not those "continental" kind of breakfast. Will definitely book this hotel again if I have a chance to go back to Davao.

What an amazing place, with the exception of internet access. Personal butler (Erving) what a great guy! Owner is personally involved and engaged with guests! Very pleasant and relaxing place. Staff bends over backwards to accommodate. Manager even constructed a makeshift tower to mount a wifi booster at my bungalow. Food was very good, reasonably priced and a very expansive menu - something for everyone. Delivered right to your accommodation or the beach if you prefer.

If you are looking for a hotel with no cockroaches! This is where you should stay.
Food in restaurant is way too simple but fortunately they are nearby the mall/market so you have more choices for your tummy~

I definitely wish I stayed longer than two nights! We booked the honeymoon suite and it was just a dream! During the few days we were there, we enjoyed the educational bird and falcon shows, The staff are extremely friendly, responsive, and truly wonderful people.
The activities around the park are lots of fun! We woke up, fed goats, hung out with birds, and enjoyed the butterflies - all before lunch! The chocolate museum is a MUST see too! Lots to do for all ages to enjoy.
