My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant, with clean and spacious rooms located conveniently behind the reception, making it easy to get around without any hassle. The staff really stood out with their friendliness and attentiveness, ensuring our belongings were kept safe. However, the location, while okay, was a bit far from the main attractions on Panglao Island, and the dining options left something to be desired due to limited choices. Overall, it was a comfortable stay, great for families looking for a convenient base.
