This
little hotel along the National Highway in Barrio Barretto
has to be one of the best-kept secrets of the area and by far the best
value. The hotel is hidden beyond large white walls leaving it isolated
from the busy area as well as insulated from it. The hotel is one of
the few beachfront hotels with its own swimming in the area, and has a
swimming pool that
fronts on the beach.
Its
27 rooms are
well appointed, each with its own air conditioning, color televisions
with
cable, full size mirrors and queen size bed(s).The
family rooms are the most popular; designed for four
to six
adults. One of the family rooms is poolside in a separate building.
There is
also a
family room on the ground floor of the main building with its own patio
and
entrance and a second floor family room with a beachfront balcony.
The
hotel
features a very nice fully air-conditioned restaurant, which serves a
variety
of Filipino and international meals. Most guests however prefer to have
their
meals outdoors. Just outside the doors of the restaurant is the Mai Tai
bar
area. The bar serves a full range of drinks and meals.
Guest can sit around the bar or around the shaded pool area. The pool
area is
elevated above the beach allowing some separation. There is also a
small Grill station that overlooks the beach and during the summer
individual tables
and
umbrellas right on the beach. An Upstairs open patio with panoramic
views of
the beach and ocean is generally used for larger groups and parties but
is also
available for individuals and couples. The hotel is also home to the
Score Sports bar.
