"The worst DIVE ever. Upon walking in to the area, it was completely nasty. Was offered a room without air conditioning. Are you serious in the Philippines!. Walked right out and did not get a refund eventhough we did not stay there and the terms of agreement were not honored! Be extra careful with these rip-offs!"

"Puha.. Hvor skal man næsten starte! Værelset var som sådan stort nok, men som de eneste gæster på hotellet, som i øvrigt lå lige omkring i midten af ingenting, havde vi nok forventet lidt mere, at det lignede billederne på nettet. Der var ikke nogen steder at hænge sit tøj, eller håndklæder, hverken skabe, knager eller hylder, kun et lille stativ med nogle bøjler. Der var ét lille bord med 2 stole, på et familieværelse!! Vi var 5 afsted. Der stod at der tilbydes massage i spaen, men hvilken spa?...
