Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
PROS: Quiet area. The hotel is at the far side of station 1 which is away from the noise and crowd of station 2. It gives you a sense of solace when swimming due to minimal crowds. The walk to station 2 by the beach is ~15 mins (or you can use an etrike for quick convenience). Staff are all very friendly and accommodating. They kept all areas clean round-the-clock and amenities well stocked. Their airport pick-up and drop off is a HUGE stress reliever.
CON: After riding the van from the airport to the check in area, just prior to the boat to boracay, we were told to sit and asked for our IDs. After a few mins, it was time to ride the boat, or so I thought. The boat left without me but they took my bagagge. When the tourists before and after me have left the premises and I was alone, I sensed something was wrong. I asked around and asked how long the wait is and they said 5mins. Then I heard one staff exclaim a shocked expression before approaching me. He claimed he called me for the boat ride which was a LIE since I’ve been sitting in the same chair. Considering the check in area is small, I would’ve heard it. Plus, I heard them when they asked for my ID, why would I not hear him for the boat ride? I don’t want to stay forever at the check in area, let alone be separated from my luggage. As patient as I was since mistakes happen, he kept insisting that he did call me which increased my irritability (the jetlag and lack of sleep did not help). Thankfully my bag was secure.
