But the service is really basic, and if you want more amenities or a larger room, you might be better off looking at other accommodations in the area.

The hotel is brand new and super comfortable. The walking distance to Alona beach and McDonald’s area is only 12-15 minutes. Before entering the hotel area there are few local houses with chickens, roosters and dogs that might make noise, but the safety and comfort are guaranteed in the hotel. The receptionist and apparently the owner’s son is super helpful and friendly. We loved the bed and the AC there. The guy helped us with finding an early bird tricycle driver and even fetched a fresh pomelo from their garden. We definitely recommend this hotel, especially after staying at more expensive, but very tiny and smelly rooms in the same area. The room size made us feel soooo good and relaxing.

A nice hotel, literally a 5-minute crawl to the sea, and a minute to the main street. Yet, it's located on a quiet street. Just like in all hotels in the Philippines, you have to ask for towel changes or cleaning. Once we figured out this system, there were no issues; they did everything right away. The staff are excellent and friendly – always ready to help and advise. The downsides: there's absolutely nowhere to dry clothes. We had to hang everything on hangers in the shared patio. The upside: nothing ever gets stolen, so we felt comfortable leaving our belongings and heading out. In the bathroom, there are simply no hooks for towels. Overall, the hotel left a pleasant impression. As for drying racks and hooks, this is a common issue in almost all hotels in this price range.

It is Nice and clean hotel resort, the breakfest is a little choose option. Quiet environment . 10m walking to Alona. All staff are friendly and welcoming , easy speaking english.. Conrad s so nice, welcoming and friendly. Thanks Conrada

I booked this resort for my family coming from the UK.They had a great time .Their kids enjoyed the pool,they have a big pool for adults and a kiddie pool.They enjoyed playing on the beach as well.Staff were very nice and accommodating.I will recommend this place to the rest of my family and friends.

It was incredibly noisy, and the doors felt paper-thin. Being right next to the road only added to the racket. You could hear everything from the pool distinctly. The noise started as early as 6 AM. The shower wasn't working, the wardrobe was decaying, and the bed sounded like it was on the verge of collapsing. However, the staff were good; responsive and kind.

If you are a diver, you shall stay here. And it’s just right at the dive point. However, with this price, they have ants issues, and they don’t clean everyday. You have to tell them to clean everyday to avoid ants. At least, hot shower and air conditioning works well. The toiletry is very very basic, best to bring your own shampoo and bath gel. Bring ear plugs if you have issues which chicken sounds in the morning. Dinner closes at 5pm, if you didn’t catch it, need to go far into the town to eat. Overall, I have a great time during my Xmas diving trip.

MCA hostel was a newly-opened hotel in the town. Staffs were very responsive to all my inquiries. The place itself was located 20-30mins to Panglao beaches which is good and away to the busy Aloha beach. We rented motorcycle for 350/day and we saved money aince the fare was not cheap. We spend my birthday there and staff made some efforts to prepare welcome greeting card which was very sweet. thanks to my hosts and will recommend this place to my friends and definitely will stay next time.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was old, the air conditioner was old and noisy, so we had to borrow a fan to use.

Plus: 1. Excellent price for but with your own bathroom 2. Breakfast is in the cost. 3. Excellent and inexpensive kitchen for dinner - beautiful soups, fish steaks, chuckles. 4. To the Duluman Beach 10 minutes walk. 5. There is both a parking space on the territory and a parking space opposite Minorities: 1. There are questions about cleaning, cleaning, bedding. 2 Very noisy air conditioner, but the berushes save.
