Location at the water is perfect, but the road to the property needs to be updated. Also the cabin I stayed in needs to be refurbished desperately. The staff is super friendly and helpful. This Property can be so much better if it is refurbished properly.

Decent
Not a bad hotel, dinner service is slow and limited. Located about 5 minute walk from the main road, many taxis will get lost on the way for any organised pick ups. Bathtub was cracked all the way through and not able to support a persons weight for a safe shower. Otherwise a decent hotel

Not worth it
Nice location on the water, with a small private beach. Attentive staff. Overall though, this place has a dumpy feel to it. The pictures are very old, and most likely reflect a hay-day 10 years ago. There were some crushed beer cans near the beach area that stayed there for the full 3 nights I was there -- nobody bothered to pick them up. The room was ok, but also aged with some of the furniture showing marks of use and warping. The towels were a little stained. I'd pay up and stay somewhere else next time.

Not recommendable hotel
The hotel is very different from the photos shown -old building, no hot shower in my room, restaurant closed. The road reaching the hotel is in the worst condition like a maze and bumpy with so many holes on the road. No restaurants around so needed to get a taxi each time.

whilst I had a bad experience and having spoken to owner I would still recommend the resort - however check first with the hotel facilities are available as the kitchen. Was closed We stayed in a cottage style room and experienced low to no water pressure but I am reassured the team will fix in the future Staff friendly and helpful Location remote and taxi and +100p on meter , Water sports on hand If open Menu and bar very limited ( alcoholic drinks beer only ) My wife and I stayed out of season - I would stay again but would check out the facilities are operational with the hotel directly before booking

Not accomodating and expensive food price
We arrived there 10am though check-in is 2pm. They allowed us to stay and take a swim however when i was borrowing a towel they initially declined since they said i haven't actually checked-in yet. I was surprised and told them that it was crazy to that they will lend me a towel only by 2pm. After that they lend me 2 towels. Then after i learned that no one is actually using the room that i have booked. I find it not so very customer friendly. Since no one is using it, and since i am not to stay there overnight and just using it for the day trip, why not allow us to use it? Moreover O find the prices of the food ridiculously expensive. A cup of rice costs about 100pesos! The place is a stone throw away from the nearest sari-sari store and not isolated but the price seems to fit a place where supplies are hard to get by.

Needs work
This place is hard to find, right at the end of a bumpy road in the middle of nowhere. Even w/GPS the tax had to ask 3 times! No signs even. I ended up with a nice cottage big room and bathroom. Lovely big bath but no hot water! wifi only in lobby w mosquitos. Richt on a sm beach with sm islands to walk out to at low tide. Guys will hassle you on the beach for boat trips and 'ladies'. Was told dinner was until 8, but at 7.45 the chef had gone home so I had to stumble out to something resembling a war zone for dinner- couldn't find a resto, bought cup of noodles and that just about sums up this place.

Horrendous road leading up to hotel.
As the title says. The ride in to the hotel was like we were off reading, I was riding a rented motorbike and had to keep my feet up high while going threw huge puddles and gravel dirt road, also very poor signage. We arrived at the hotel around noon, and there was nooo way they would let us check in early. While there was barely anyone at the resort. The little cottage we had next to the pool was comfortable and clean tho. Pool was decent and they did actually have a small private beach( which is hard to find in mactan). The free breakfast in the morning was great. Overall I just don't think it was worth the 102CAD I paid for one night.

Filthy Beach!!
It was a small resort. We were very disappointed and my wife asked to book other resort ASAP. No one knew where this resort is, the taxi drivers refused to drive bumpy unpaved wet muddy road to the resort because car will bottom out and might stuck. The restaurant and bar closed around 8.00 pm and limited menu-food wasn't good at all. Nothing else to do at resort.

Nice new resort
My girlfriend and I stayed at Blue Garden on Easter weekend. The room and facilities were great. The resort is very new and still being renovated. It is so new that not many people know of it. The taxi driver didn't know and even locals in the area had not heard of it. Luckily we were able to call the phone number listed and the manager gave directions to the taxi driver. The access road is very rough and bumpy but once we arrived everything else was great. Wifi was fast but only in the reception area. Breakfast was among the best complimentary breakfast's I have had anywhere. Would definitely stay here again.

여자4명이서 숙박하였습니다. 후기가 너무 별로라 걱정하였는데 이정도 금액대에 앞바다가 바로앞에있는 숙소는 없습니다. 모든 시설은 다있습니다만, 낙후될뿐이였습니다. 직원분들도 친절하시고 리모델링?만 조금 하면 정말 좋을것같았는데 제가다 아쉬웠네요. 그냥 저렴한가격에 좋은위치에 숙박하실분들하세요. 예민하신분들은 그냥 좋은데 예약하시면 될것같아요! 저는 만족! 아참! 우버는꼭 핀으로 고정해서 잡으세요. 찾아가기 어렵습니다ㅠㅠ

너무 더러운 호텔. 절대 가지 마세요.
사진보고 반해서 갔는데, 도착해서 경악 ... 방바닥에 청소도 꽝, 샤워하다보니 세면대아래 쓰레기가 가득, 욕조는 바닥이 부서져 있고 곧 무너질거같아서 살살 샤워하구 나왔음 왠만함 참고 잘라했는데 도저히 안되서 너무 더럽다고 환불해달라하니 직원이 선선히 호텔스닷컴에 이메일 주면 환불해 줄꺼라 해서 안심하고 다른호텔로 갔음. 자주 있는일인 듯함. 그냥 포기한 호텔 같음. 입구로 들어가는길도 세상에나 ... 찻길에서부터 안으로 몇분동안은 차 한대가 겨우 지나갈 길로 가야하는데, 이렇게 울퉁불퉁한 길 처음봄 ... 택시도 여기를 찾는데 오래걸림. 직원에게 몇년된 호텔이냐고 물어보니, 20년 되었고 지금 경영진은 5년 되었다고 함. 프런트 소파에 앉아있던 외국인들 모두 놀라서 캔슬하고 다른데로 가는거같음.

部屋やプールサイドでゆっくり
海に直接行ける立地なこともあり、 大きな通りからは歩いて6〜7分くらいの、とーってもわかりづらい場所にホテルはあります。途中に看板などもありません。 道中、とても道が細く凸凹で車はすれ違えません。 そんな立地な為か、ホテルでタクシーを呼んでくれますが+100ペソ必要です。 +100ペソ払ってでも、帰りは呼んでもらう価値はあると思います笑 ホテル自体は、パッと目につくところは綺麗にしてますが、細かなところまでは清掃は届いてなさそうです。 フロントでは簡単にホテルの説明されますが、何かあったら聞いてください。とのスタイルのようで、すぐお部屋に案内されます。 エレベーターは動きませんので二階へは階段でいきます。 お部屋はとても広くて窓も大きくエアコンの効きもいいし、冷蔵庫やポットもあります。 セキュリティーBOXは壊れていて使えませんでした。 廊下側にも大きな窓がありますが、そのカーテンを開けると廊下から中が丸見えなので、開けれませんでした。(宿泊者はあまりいないので空けても気にならないといえば、気にならないかも) プールは一つですが深さ50センチくらい?から170センチ位のところまであり、大人から子供まで泳いだりできます。 朝に掃除はしてましたが、その後落ち葉などがプールに入り込んでおり、昼過ぎには色々浮いてますが、誰かが掃除してくれることはありません。 プールから海にも直接アクセスできるのですが、どこから入り込むのか、客引きが普通にいます。しつこくはないので、そこまで気にならないですが、プライベートビーチを想像してくると、だいぶイメージが違うと思います。 プールサイドにはレストラン兼プールバー的なものがありますが、どこにもメニュー表示はなく、ジュースと軽食くらいならでてきそうです。(他のお客様が食べたりしてました) ホテルにレストランがあり、22時までやってるとの説明をきいていましたが、そのレストランはプールサイドの所のようで、どんなメニューがあるか聞くと、シェフがいないので、作れるのはこれとこれとこれ、と3品程度。 ホテルのレストランで食事を済ませようと思ってる方は、考え直したほうがいいかもしれません。 私達は、昼食・夕食は、その都度、歩いて大きな通りまででて、レストランまでいきました。小さな子供を連れてたりしたら、大変かもしれません。 ホテル自体はとても静かで、ゆっくり過ごすにはいいかと思いますが、ホテルらしいサービスは少ないので、食べ物・飲み物は買い込んできたほうがよさそうです。 朝食は、小さなトースト2枚、小さな目玉焼き2個、ハム2枚、小さなバナナ一本が、2日連続でました。塩・コショウはされてないし、テーブルにもありません。 飲み物は、コーヒーか水がフルーツジュースのどれかを選べます。 チェックアウト時、お部屋確認するので少し待っててと言われますが、そのあと、OKとは言われず、タクシー待ちもあったのでそのままいると、タクシー来ましたと言われたので、OKだったのだと思います笑

Rupsahtanut mesta.
Hyvät jutut alkuun, uima-allas, siinäpä se. Paikka oli vanha ja kulunut, kuvat ei vastaa todellisuutta. Vaatimaton aamupala, muun ruuan saaminen tilauksesta kesti kauan. Henkilökuntaa on liian vähän. Harmi, että hotelli on päästetty rapistumaan. Sijainti ihan rannalla, mutta ei oo hyvä uimiseen. Netti toimii vain respassa ja ajoittain huonosti. Menisinkö uudelleen..tuskin. jos joku menee tänne, kandee ottaa maja/mökki saa oman parvekkeen.

들어가는 입구는 그랩기사님께 팁을 드리는 것으로 해결됐지만 화장실에 수전은 고쳐야 할거 같아요. 조식은 간단하지만 적당했어요. 수영장 깊이가 다양해서 좋았어요. 바로 앞 해변은 물이 들어오는 시간에 나가서 놀기 좋았습니다. 모래 해변은 조금 굵은 모래라서 아이가 모래놀이 하기게 적합한 모래는 아니였습니다.

空港から約20分ほどで途中までタクシーで行き、ホテルまでトライシクルで行きました。 ホテルまでの道は道路も整備されておらず道は悪いですが不快に思うことはありませんでした。 プールは入っては居ませんが綺麗に清掃されています。 景色もなかなかローカルの雰囲気がとてもいいです。 船が沢山見えます。 室内は綺麗で冷蔵庫やドライヤーエアコンが有り問題なし。 テレビはありませんでした。 シャワーも普通でホットも出ます床が割れていたので少し危なかったです。 朝ごはんもフリーで食パンハム目玉やきバナナとても美味しかった。 周りにはアイランドホッピングができる港が近いです小さなコンビニやレストランもあります。 ですが、どれもトライシクルやジプニーを呼んでもらった方がいいと思います。

近くに何もありません
セブ島での所用を済ませ、マクタン島で数泊してから帰ろうと考え、ホテル検索。 ギリギリということもあり、ビーチ沿いのホテルに空室を見つけることができず、不便そうな場所・古そうな施設・その割には高いんじゃない? という疑問符は付いていましたが、致し方なく5泊の予約を入れました。 良いも悪いも、予想通りの宿泊となりました。 まず、車を拾うことのできる通りまで、嘘だろっ というようなローカルな道を10分近く歩かなければなりません。 お部屋のつくりはまぁまぁキチンとしていますが(清掃は行き届いているように感じました)、とにかく古いのでところどころガタが来ています。 デラックッスダブルの予約でしたが、シャワーが壊れていたので、2泊目からお部屋を変えていただきました。 変えていただいたのは、巨大なリビングルームと広めのベッドルームが2つあるお部屋。それなりのホテルならかなり高めのスイートルームといったところでしょうが、何せ古い施設なので、『2LDKのレンタルルームを借りた』といった方がしっくりくる感じでした。 WiFi は、レセプション付近でしか電波を拾うことができません。 スタッフの仕事ぶりは、しっかりしていますし、皆笑顔でテキパキ動いているのでストレスを感じません。 プールの先にビーチがありますが、あまり期待はしない方がよいでしょう。 プールサイドでゆっくり何もしない時間を過ごすという方にはオススメかもしれません。

初日からシャワーがでず、何度も従業員に伝えたものの結局 チョロチョロと出たり出なくなったりで改善されないまま3日を過ごしました。 従業員の問題以前に施設(経営サイド)の問題! 部屋が広かろうが、海辺のプールが有ろうが快適には過ごせませんでしたので二度と行きません。 立地も良いとは言えませんので、料金的にも不満を感じました
