Guest Reviews
Rating: 4.8 / 5.0 Stars
“The roofdeck is the best part of the house. We watched the sunset every evening with a 360-degree view of the mountains and the sea. The rooms are huge and very clean. Highly recommended for big families!” — Elena V.
“Perfect for our barkada trip. The kitchen had everything we needed, and being a 2-minute walk from the surf spot in Liwliwa was a major plus. No Wi-Fi was actually a blessing—we finally talked to each other!” — Mark S.
