Not again!
Good things first: the staff is very friendly and helpful. The tennis court saved our holiday. The food is as good as it gets in the Philippines.
Now what you should know is that the beach is just 50 meters long and 10 meters wide and lacks sun beds. The water is shallow, and 20 meters into the sea full of seaweed and sea urchins. During our stay, construction was going on (and supposed to last another few months) at both ends of the short beach. Air hammers, chain saws and drills did not even stop during Chinese New Year and full occupancy at the Resort. Finally, there is nowhere to escape to. The beach is surrounded by cliffs and rocks, so to get to the next beach, restaurant or shop takes you 3-5 km via the only road.
In summary, the resort is not worth even half the exorbitant prices quoted on the Resort's website.

Not Worth It
The place is beautiful but really expensive. The pool is small especially if the hotel has a lot of guests. The beach area is small and dirty and has a lot of stones. You really need aqua shoes for that. There's not much public transpo in that area for you to be able to explore bohol. You need to pay a heft P400.00 just so you can be taken to the city or or other places you wish to go. Food there is ok but very expensive as well. Overall the place is really not worth your money. Go to Bohol Beach Club instead.
