Great location, right on the beach, but that makes it tricky to access, or get a cab, or drag your luggage as its on the sand!
Service in the hotel is pretty good, although found the restaurant service to be variable. The cocktails were great, the pizza ok, and if you like fresh seafood, that seemed to being going down ok. However, its pretty limited for vegetarians. Portion sizes are good, in some cases too much, but I didnt rate the quality or value compared to other places Id visited in philipinnes.
The hotel is clean and comfortable. My room was small, but we designed and had a minibar & safe. Would have loved a kettle. Wifi was a bit erratic.
All the bea hfront hotels have live music, mainly a girl singing easy listening western songs. No offence to the singers, some of whom have good voices, but would be better if they just put a playlist on. Although, i do like that philipinne businesses sort of 'over employ' compared to UK etc. They dont look so exploitative, but then again, i dont know what they get paid.... and why I always leave a tip.
