Cagdanao Island Vacations from $387

The hotel advertises soundproof rooms and that was one of the major draws for us to this hotel. However, no matter how soundproof the walls might be, the soundproofing is only as good as it’s weakest area. That weak area is the door. There is a large enough gap between the floor and the door that we could hear everything—the off-key karaoke going on until late into the night somewhere nearby, the roosters starting up at 4am and not stopping their constant cockadoodledooing even by 11 when we checked out. We also learned that the WiFi in the rooms wasn’t working and wasn’t going to be fixed anytime soon and that there was no cellphone reception in our room. The hot water on demand system that they have only works with a certain amount of pressure of water but the amount of pressure changes throughout the day. We finally found we could get hot water if we turned on the faucet and the shower at the same time, but it meant that the shower was weak. The street outside of the hotel is very muddy and very hard to walk on when it rains so avoid staying there during the rainy season. We got our car so muddy on that street that we had to pay a fee when we returned it. There’s no view for any of the rooms (despite what is written on information) except of other peoples small porch and bedroom curtains. But the view from the dining area is excellent and the staff were very nice.
