We had a very enjoyable stay at the resort. I wish there was a safety deposit box and a hair blower. Also the treehouse 2 that we stayed in doesn’t have warm water, it’s not working and the aircon is old and bit noisy. Other than that, everything is wonderful.

Staff is super friendly and it has a nice location for the ones who want to visit the falls. However, the room had a strong smell of mold, as it wals closed for many days. But i still recomend it!

Hesitant if the room was really cleaned prior to us occupying it because there were termite droppings from the wood in the ceiling that fell on the floor pillow/rag below.

WiFi connection in public areas are weak
Staff are helpful all full of hospitality. Toiletries provide convenience. Beach side is beautiful and quite. The road connects to the resort is unpaved and bumpy. It gets worse in raining day.

Beachfront hotel but inconvenient
The road to the hotel was a disaster. Should pave the holes on the ground. Stayed at the treehouse hoping for a honeymoon vacay but regretted this decision immediately once we are inside. - The cupboard was old, when we tried to open the door, it feel out and almost cut my bf's toes. -Only provided 2 complimentary water bottles, so if need more water you'll have to go to the restaurant to get a pitcher of water How inconvenient.Why cant you just put a water dispenser in the room and replace it once empty. The hotel I stayed in Moalboal did this and didn't expected a hotel that I paid more to be worse than it. - Phone in the room was out of order. If we needed anything we had to walk to the reception or restaurant. How inconvenient. I told the reception about this and she replied. I know. Why don't you fix it?? - The shower room door lock is out of order. They left a bucket in the shower room and we were wondering what it was for and realized it was to use to block the door when you are showering. Fix the damn door lock!! It's a hotel, not your house. - We found a dead lizard in the toilet. - There was this party going on next door, loud music and a guy talking all day all night. Came here to relax but felt disturbed all day. - Provided only 2 instant coffee Some people don't drink coffee. Where's the tea - Food in restaurant was pretty decent. On the pricier side but we came to enjoy the hotel and service. Staff in the restaurant were the only ones who gave good service

Nice but Old
Club serena is in a very secluded place, nice for some privacy and peaceful stay. Rooms very spacious, clean but are a little outdated, toilet is old but full of toiletries, it was kind of hard to flush. No wifi in the room but it is ok. The facility is huge and clean. You could tell the place is really pretty at its time. Swimming pool is huge and beach in front, staff are really nice. Food at the restaurant is nice and reasonably priced. Staff at restaurant are superb.

Good place but strange customer experience
We had a room with a very big bed for 4 adults. We asked to have matresses for 2 of us. That was strange...

The place is serene, rejuvenating, and extremely close to a beachfront that is picture perfect (at high tide). However, it is relatively far from a nearby shopping centre or a provision shop, so make sure you come with your supplies stocked up! E.g. Snacks/titbits/Cup Noodles =) That being said, it is very quiet compared to the nearby town or the hustle and bustle of Philippines cities! A really good place to kick back, relax, and reset your body, mind and soul together with your significant other. P.S. The rooms have really nice designs too!

A home away from home
It was just what we are looking for. Nice, clean, quiet, not crowded, and most of all, excellent service. The pool is very clean, well-maintained. The restaurant is a very pleasant place for extended stay after a meal. Very accomodating staff.

The tree-house we stayed in was very cozy and very short distance to the beach. The restaurant was very well situated by the pool and beach and offered amazing vies of the ocean and sunset every evening. The staff were very polite and extremely helpful in setting up acitivites for us.

We loved this beach side resort with fabulous snorkeling on the coral reef out front. Staff were phenomenal and attentive to every need. We stayed 4 nights and ate all our meals at the hotel. Good food with lots of choices. The pools are wonderful especially one by ocean. There are lots of places to hang out and relax as that is the message here, relax. Our room was Rajah and it is large with comfy king bed and sitting room. Spacious bath with toiletries provided. We ended an 8 week holiday here and we had the most relaxing time. MJ, John Jay, Roland and Josh took great care of us so that we felt so relaxed and had pleasurable vacation. Thank you! If we come back this is where we will stay and highly recommend. Oh and sunsets are amazing! Saw turtles every day.

Don't go - maybe after the new owner takes over
This resort is in utterly poor condition which is sad as it has great potential. But its very dirty in the rooms, even after conplaining three times our closet was still full of durty, moldy pillows. I found a cockroach underneath my pillow and in the bathroom. It is supposed to be sold - lets hope the new owner gets it back into shape.

Peaceful and relaxing, with great snorkeling
This is a little off the beaten track and when you drive towards the hotel you do wonder....and then arrive! The hotel is quiet, with two pools, well maintained grounds, swept more often than my floor at home. The service was nice. If you are wanting to relax in the peace and quiet...this is the place for you. The snorkeling was some of the best that we have experienced, from many locations around the world, they drop drivers off in front of the hotel to explore the depths and coral., about 200+ feet offshore (there is a concrete path that leads you out). Food was great and to sit and eat/drink by the water was amazing. Nice sand and so quiet you have a lot of beach to yourself. Enjoy as we did.

It was overall fine. The only downside is the food it doesn’t taste good for the price and the staff are not welcoming. Poor service.

A little inconvenience but still we really like it
we booked rajah room and its almost perfect except for not having a locks on all its windows which makes me awake all night worried that someone might enter our rooms and get our stuff, no security box inside. we parked in front of our cottage which is very convenient for unloading and loading our stuff. Beach have a nice view but the water is full of sharp stones and hurt our feet . But we really enjoy the sand and the small boat in the pool. Services are nice, food are average, expect an additional 12% Vat on your food bill. They let us stay in their cabanas for lunch even after we check out. All in all we enjoy our visit

휴식하기 좋습니다. 깨끗하고 친절해요
숙소 시설과 수영장등 시설은 조금 낡은 부분이 있으나, 깨끗하게 관리되어서 사용하는데 문제는 없습니다. 주변 풍경이 굉장히 좋고 내부의 조경도 훌륭합니다. 직원분들은 모두 친절하고 굉장히 프로페셔널 합니다. 다만 레스토랑이 저희 입맛에 안맞아서 일수도 있겠지만, 맛에 대하여 개선할 필요가 있을 것 같아요.

규모가 작은 리조트지만 수영장이 2개나 있고 바로 앞에 비치가 있어 물놀이 하기에 그만입니다. 위치상 워낙 외딴 곳이라 교통편을 걱정했는데 호텔측에 요청하면 바로 트라이시클을 불러주어 편하게 이용하였습니다. 단 트라이시클 요금은 운전사와 네고하여 지불해야 합니다. 리조트 측에서는 가격 협상에 관여하지 않더군요. 3가족이 함께 사용하여 여러 룸을 들어가볼수 있었는데 룸마다 특색이 있어 재미있었습니다. 전반적으로 모든 룸이 널찍한 편입니다. 로비에는 직원이 항상 상주해있지 않아서 벨을 누르고 기다리거나, 다른 직원에게 불러달라고 하거나, 직접 찾으러 다니는 일도 있을 수 있습니다. 워낙 여유로운 곳이므로 도심호텔의 신속정확함은 기대하지 않는것이 좋습니다.
