- Room
No TV
Smallest air conditioner that blew in Hot Air
Ceiling fan that only moved slowly
I had to sleep with the two doors open and hope that I would not be covered in mosquito bites
Water would turn on and off. . . Probably because other rooms also had water running.
- Gastronomy
Fries (Chips) in afternoon served without ketchup, napkin, or fork
Fish and Chips for dinner: Fish was pressed together chunks of fish - I could not eat it.
San Miguel Beer was cold and brought with a cold mug
Restaurant has ceiling fans - but no air conditioning. Very hot and the ceiling fans only spin slowly.
- Service
As soon as I asked the owner to rent some equipment so we could visit a friends family on the nearby Island - we were black balled. "It is against my better interest to rent you equipment - I am selling dives and tours, and there is no one in this area that will rent you equipment without their services".
Later in the day, I came in for a beer and an afternoon snack. Staff was not friendly, I ordered some chips (French Fries) which were served without ketchup, napkin or fork.
Because there are not many eating choices in Padre Burgos, we had dinner in the hotel. I got fish and chips, where the fish was terrible, so I only ate the chips.
Because the hotel was so hot (Air conditioning actually blew in hot air and ceiling fan only moved slowly) we checked out one day early. On going to reception, the staff continued to be unfriendly, never asking how our stay was or saying thank you for staying with them. (I guess if you know your service is so bad that people are running away. . . you don't really need to ask)
- Sport & Entertainment
Diving and snorkeling in the area is great. Had the time of my life but did not go with Sogod Bay
- Hotel
This is a new hotel run by an Australian and designed for scuba divers. While your first impression of the hotel will be good: clean, new, lots of electrical outlets, and beautiful location. However if you spend anytime you will quickly learn the hotel owner wants to sell dives and all the new things in the hotel are not the most comfortable.
- Location
Southern Leyte is beautiful. You have lots of sea adventures to do and the locals are extremely friendly.
