My husband chose the hotel, because it has very good reviews. We were satisfied booking there, but, of course, like any other hotel, it was not easy to rate it close to perfect.
It was very good service (breakfast was customized a bit for us) from the hotel staff. The place is quiet, but, sadly, it is also zero nightlife in the Bulabog area. Also, every time we needed something, we had to pay for the tricycle (one time the Hop In bus) to go to D´Mall or the beach front there. I think we only used the Bulabog Beach twice. In the early afternoon it was already low tide, compared to Stations 1-3. So if you are not an early riser, you won´t enjoy the beach in Bulabog to swim. Luckily, the hotel pool is a good alternative, especially for late afternoon or early evening dip.
On the first day we checked in, hubby noticed a strange smell (sort of piss) in the room, but he didn´t say a thing. A day after, the smell was still there, so he told the reception, and requested for bedsheet change and room cleaning. It became okay, but somehow there was still a hint of that strange scent. I told him that maybe it was the soap or something that the hotel was using, but he disagreed.
Anyway, the hotel is nice, but it is not new. There were small things that already need to be fixed there. It is important for the local and foreign customers. I mean, if the hotel wants to maintain the good reviews for years, you know.
