The owners,Maria and Doug were waiting at the ferry terminal as arranged.They were smiley,chatty and warmly welcomed us. This is a family resort and the home cooked foods are delicious,plentiful and very cheap. The kindness and service are second to none. The staff made us feel very special. This was our first vacation and all we wanted was sun, sea and sand,,,,,the loving kindness , smiles and service were a dream come true .We swam and kayaked in the clear blue seas, ate and drank on the floating raft. The bar is well stocked with ice cold beers, wines and spirits.A massive TV screen with unlimited cable, movies, heaps of music and karaoke. Our room was clean,air conditioned with a comfortable bed and en suite, towels, toiletries, wifi and cable tv. On leaving Doug and Maria took us to town to meet my girlfriends family and waited until her mom finished shopping. They then took us to the ferry where we said our sad goodbyes. These guys gave us treasured memories and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. We are returning soon for a family party. Edrock PS,,,squid, crabs,fish sinigang sweet and sour, pork adobo & chicken,,,,yum, yum :) loved it!!!…The owners,Maria and Doug were waiting at the ferry terminal as arranged.They were smiley,chatty and warmly welcomed us.

The answers are: no and never again! I will put this in point form to give an idea of our experience: Shuttle/ pick up - 45 mins late as we stood outside the Jollibee at SM mall (as directed) even though we gave 12 hours notice of arrival. Area: private house, private subdivision. Could not enter or exit area without escort. Not even walking! Told to lie to security that we were ‘relatives’ of the owner. Clearly no business license!! Room: big, nothing special. Bed had head and pubic hair, bodily fluids on blankets from previous visitors. Dirty face mask behind bed as well. DISGUSTING. Nobody available to remedy situation until the next day. (Slept on towels we brought). Couldn’t rebook elsewhere at that time of night. Did get apologies but no remuneration . Wifi: had to request reload on 3 separate occasions. Reception; mediocre at best. Amenities: no food, juice, beer or snacks onsite. Had to be escorted to outside store. No restaurant. Again... escorted to restaurant outside gate, and escort waited to return us. Breakfast provided but substandard as well. There was one person onsite for our ‘needs’ and when questioned about anything we simply got a 1 word answer or a shoulder shrug. She spent her day watching TV at the ‘bar’. Coy pond: green and stagnant. Rooftop patio: had resident bat; therefore bat guano on floors in the mornings. Pool: good Shuttle to bus depot: we organized 12 hours in advance of our intent to catch 10 am bus. We were ready and packed by 8:30…The answers are: no and never again!

The water pressure in shower was very bad. The shower door was very hard to open. I had to ask the staff twice for blankets and face towels. They never brought the face towels. While i was finishing up my poll game the staff turned out the lights.and I couldn't see, i fell with a beer bottle in my hand and cut it in two places. Staff sis not assist and Office s did not have first aid kit. Hotel is also built on cemetery lot where dead people are buried who couldn't afford a proper burial.…The water pressure in shower was very bad. The shower door was very hard to open.
