Disappointed ”

If you just want to chill out for the weekend, then this is your place. It's quite and peaceful. But if you're like me, I have some relatives/friends who just want to visit me for chat then this place it's not for you because every single visitor that will come they must pay an entrance fee. The cottage could use a good cleaning, wall and ceiling are full of moulds and it's quite dusty. Showers doesn't work, I have to use buckets to wash myself and one of the lighting flickered all night long on the durations of my stay. Credit to the reception staff, quite friendly and accomodating. They also pick up and drop off to and from the airport which is a bonus. All in all I had a pleasant stay but the rules regarding visitors must change.

Spacious room, courteous staff, private and secure location”

The only downside is the beach if you are going there to hit the beach. Because it is rocky along the upper shoreline and the time we there was high tide and the waves were not that friendly. One of my guests got some bruises from the rocks after being slammed by the waves. But I imagine during low tides and calm waters, it will be a lot better.

Service and location

From the time I arrived at the airport, I thought I had a very special treatment. Miss Benita Feliciano was the one who facilitated my transportation going to and from the airport and made sure I was well taken care of. She even checked me in at the airport without me being in the airport yet when I left Zamboanga for Tawi-Tawi. So I really appreciate that. When I got to the resort, everyone was just nice. My assistant called the day before to make sure that my room was confirmed. When she told Miss Rose that I needed a good internet connection, they immediately transferred my reservation to Casita number 2. When I got there, I had the router for my own use inside the room. I had to work for a few hours in the evening of my stay so I really needed a good connection and they did not disappoint. I was able to work without any issues. The power went out twice during my stay - I guess this is an issue in Mindanao. But the resort is well equipped with a generator so power was never an issue. I left very early in the morning so I could not take the complimentary breakfast. They gave me a complimentary dinner instead. And did I forget to mention that my room was right in front of the beach? The food in the restaurant was also good and very affordable. One of the staff members who was on duty during the early morning accompanied me and talked with me until my airport transfer arrived.
