Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests often highlight the comfortable and spacious rooms at Costabella, with balconies providing great views. The breakfast buffet at La Marina is widely appreciated for its variety. The hotel boasts a quaint, clean private beach where guests can relax, and some have found the location a bit distant from the town's attractions, requiring taxi rides. Other amenities like the pool with its water slide and the availability of free canoes and paddleboards contribute to an enjoyable stay, with some guests taking advantage of the free bike rentals to explore the surrounding area.

Acceptable but Overpriced

I found the food and drinks to be quite overpriced. A simple can of soda cost almost 300 PHP, exorbitant (even for a hotel).
