"Pros: - The quality of the Italian in-room dining was fantastic.
- The room was very clean.
- The air conditioning is very powerful (estimated at 2.5HP).
- The view of the green mountains is beautiful.
- There is a walking path around the lake with a well-maintained garden featuring a mix of acacia trees, palm trees, and elephant ear plants—walking around takes over an hour.
- Excellent breakfast, with the option to sit indoors or outdoors surrounded by nature.
- The beach has dark sand but no rocks, so water shoes are not needed. It slopes gently, making it suitable for our 1-year-old.
- Beach chairs are free to use.
Cons: - Shuttle transport to and from the city is expensive (3000 PHP).
- Rooms with a lake view do not actually overlook the lake due to tall acacia trees, though the mountain view is still nice.
- Guests are required to wear a wristband all day.
- The air conditioning makes the floor damp.
- The beach is a bit far to walk, though a shuttle runs all day.
- Part of the beach and swimming pool is for members only—not accessible to hotel guests.
- The kids’ playroom is not free—300 PHP for 2 hours." ~David
