This hotel is great, with a beautiful view. The pool is nice, and the rooms are large and clean. Breakfast is great, and we highly recommend the on-site cooking class. We did it (2 adults, 2 teens) and had a great time and a delicious meal. One drawback is the beach is not close. The shuttle runs at 10AM, 2, 4, and 6PM, and it is about a 10-15 minute jeepney ride. I think there are probably closer beaches, but most are hotel owned, and therefore not accessible. One suggestion would be to have more frequent shuttle runs, so guests could go and return with more convenience. Next time, we are going to stay at the beach.
