I liked the beach as it was clean and not crowded. The staff was friendly and polite. I didn't like the limited places to dine and places to visit. Most places of interest were a good 45 minutes to drive to.

The property contains a historical fort, the "Baluarte", that I believe dates from the Spanish Colonial period. This structure has a beautiful terrace that looks out on the ocean. The terrace has wonderful breezes from the ocean.

Helpful staff. Easy checkin.
Hotel is on the water's edge. Used a hamock to drink a beer in the evening which was relaxing. Wish it was a hammock for 2 though. No fridge in the room but staff was so helpful storing a cake in the hotel fridge and she had cold beers for sale which was a plus. Room was basic and so was bathroom but everything was clean. Great for a one night stay for us but I need something more comfortable regarding the bed for my back for longer stays.

Sleeping with the sound of the sea in background
The place is not fancy, but quite comfortable and well located. I loved to sleep with the sound of the sea in the background. Besides the hotel area is very chilling to spend time during the day, have breakfast or a snack while listening and watching the sea is amazing. Too bad there is no good beach to swim.

peaceful.....
we arrived late in the hotel and proceed directly to the room and change clothes. and unwind in their restaurant. I love the place it peaceful and safe, staffs are also friendly. while chilling in the resto we got drunk and slept in the room, but sad to say the bed sheet have a lot of blood stain and was not change. complimentary water is used. Since we really need to rest we don't bother the stain blood sheet we removed it and slept. Water piping should also be fixed. overall experienced is memorable.
Response from Owner/Manager on 28 Mar 2017
Hi! Thanks for your feedback! We are VERY sorry about your experience. Our regular staff assigned for this task was on sick-leave for a while so we had to have an undertrained staff. I can assure you this is FIRST time this has ever happened. I will make sure this will never happen again in the future. Thanks so much once again, and we apologise.

Quiet place
A good place to stay a few days direct at the beach with your girlfriend. Rooms and food are ok. Internet so so. TV only local channels. But outside in Argao not much to do and no restaurants.

便利な場所の気さくな宿
立地は便利で、スタッフもみんな優しい。何か困ったことや不明なことは相談すれば親身になって教えてくれる。 ロビーのすぐ横の部屋に滞在したが、バスルーム(シャワーとトイレ、洗面台)に独特の匂いが漂っておりつらかった。清潔感もあまりない。 また部屋自体に湿気が多く、冷房をつけておかないと少し不快。 Wi-Fiは、到着日には「前日の台風で調子が悪い」と言われ1日使えず、次の日はずっとサクサク、その次の日には夜八時半になぜかプッツリ切れ、また別の日には使える…という不安定さだった。話が違うなーと思いつつ、地元の人にとってWi-Fiの優先度はどうやら低いようであまり争う気にもなれず…。 空港でレンタルするポータブルWi-Fiが果たしてアルガオで使えるのかどうかも不明だが、Wi-Fiを使って仕事や作業ができないと困る人にはお勧めではないかも…。
