"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
