Upon arrival the hotel appeared to have limited facilities (covid induced perhaps) all their convenience shops were closed and almost no restaurant choices but as it turned out the food was nice and menu size just enough for our 4 night stay. This could have been made clear to us prior to booking but was not!
Beer and soft drinks were very expensive compared to other Philippine resorts and as their shops were closed we would either be T-Total or pay up.
With nothing close to Pico Sands we stayed within the resort however for 1000 peso each way you could venture outside to visit the small beach villages about 15 to 30 mins south of the resort which, according to Google, have more restaurant choices (not sure what they were like cos we did not go).
The walking trail to Santelmo beach was good and being mid week rather than weekend we had the 'paradise' beach to ourselves. The beach is privately owned by the resort and well kept.
We saw a 6 foot monitor lizard on the trail and some reef sharks frolicking by the shore when we arrived at the beach. Snorkeling was excellent, many fish, and also saw giant clams which were about the size of beach balls. Opted to take their luxury boat back to Pico de Loro beach which was expensive but a great way to end the trip.
All in all, the staff were friendly and accommodating and the hotel set around a beautiful lagoon with water lilies and if you want a quiet beach holiday and don't want to get too active then you'll probably enjoy it.
