If your looking for a much-needed respite from a long travel, or just want to unwind and recharge yourself from the hussles of life (or pressures at work😉😉) this place would definitely be your go-to place. The resort exudes an ambiance of rest and relaxation while ensuring your safety and security which is an added bonus. The room that we booked is spacious (ideal for a family of 5), clean and well-maintained. The pool is regularly treated and filtered. The resort's staff are hospitable and show eagerness to assist their guest the best way they know how. They serve the usual "silog" meals for breakfast yet ordinary as they may seem, they are tasty and surely will pass the standards of anyone's palate. Plus, they are in generous servings too! In all, we are truly grateful and blessed to have found this resort. It is no doubt the gem of the locality.

Dear guest, Thank you very much for your feedback. We apologize for the inconvenience (mosquitoes and ants). With the surrounding trees and open areas from neighboring residential lots where these mosquitoes breed, it's quite a challenge but we continuously find ways to control and eliminate the mosquitoes. We only use eco-friendly ways to eliminate these pests (ants included) but they seem to be ineffective. As for the restaurant, we don't yet have enough demand to justify employing a regular chef. We do not want to order pre-cooked food, freeze, then serve pre-heated. We ask guests to request the food they want ahead of time so that we can guarantee that what we cook for them is fresh from the market. We are a very small outfit and we try to be practical about our decisions on what other parts of the business to grow. Some guests are fine with the current option where they pre-order food so we're sticking with that setup for now. In time, we will be putting up a restaurant at the resort. The swimming pool area is open to the public. It's not only for checked-in guests. Swimming pool access is complimentary to our checked-in guests. We also provide pool towels to checked-in guests when they use the pool. We apologize for the weak wifi. Our service provider (Globe) is having a problem with their tower that covers our area. Actually, it's been more than a week now that we don't have internet service due to Globe's system failure. We've constantly been calling Globe for updates but they do not have a timeline for resolution at the moment. We appreciate very much your very candid comments and we strive to improve our resort services using guests' feedback. We hope to get another chance to host you again in the future. Respectfully, Leonardjon Buenavista President and General Manager
