First, the photographer of the pics did a great job because the room looked so spacious on the pics. The reality was sad. The "suite" was tiny with too much furniture (be careful to not bump ur toes!). The living room with the sofa which has a kitchen included, has NO window. The kitchen was nice, but why the hell are there NO kitchen tools? What is the sense of a kitchen without tools?! Not even spoons or forks. The worst of all was the sleeping room: the mattress was hard. I mean REALLY hard. Despite my 100+ kilos, I didn't sink an inch!! The bed was so dump placed, that we couldn't open the door to the bedroom completely. The switcher of the lights in the bedroom was installed on the wrong side (behind the door). So if you enter the room, you need to close the bedroom door behind you first so that you can reach the switcher. The bathroom was not really better. The water pressure was very weak. It took 28 seconds to fill up a glass with water! In general, the walls are very thin. You can hear everything in the hallway even the people who speak with a normal voice volume. So we could hear everything from the neighbours. EVERYTHING. So we checked out after 2 nights, even though we booked and paid for 5 nights. The receptionist didn't even ask us about the reason for the early departure or if we had a nice stay. Customer care looks different and seems not to be used there. Be careful: You have to pay a deposit of 1,000 php / night. More than 1 week after check-out, the amount was not yet refunded to my creditcard. I had to send an email to the hotel to get the blocked amount refunded. Never happened before (and I travel a lot on all continents).
