10/10 Excellent
"So conveniently located close to the mall, the Avenida, the church. Resort is smaller compared to the ones we’ve visited in the past, but we like how it’s quiet, laid back and not too overwhelming. Food is so good esp in the Asiana restaurant. Also love how big the rooms are with its own hot tub. Server Joseph in the Mexican restaurant and Sergio in the Spice buffet stood out for us. Very helpful and hardworking. Thanks for a wonderful stay, will definitely consider coming back if we head out again this way"
