Near Rizal Boulevard; nice and safe area. All The hotel staff were so helpful, respectful and very accomodating. We super enjoyed Dumaguete and Siquijor, big revelation. Very safe we walked at night esp at Rizal Boulevard. Great food, excellent places (Sansrival Bistro, Honeycomb Bar, Why Not Disco, Rizal Blvd.)
A Pool and gym would be more appreciated altho the amount we paid was very Good value.

The location and spacious room
The female cleaners sometimes come across as unfriendly. I understand that their work can be physically demanding, especially when cleaning many rooms throughout the day, and they may also be dealing with personal stress or simply having a difficult day.
However, since housekeeping staff play an essential role in maintaining the comfort and cleanliness of the hotel, I believe it is important that guests also feel welcomed and treated warmly during interactions with them. Their work is just as valuable and important as that of any other employee in the hotel, and positive communication with guests helps create a better overall experience.
I hope this feedback can be taken constructively and used to encourage a more friendly and welcoming atmosphere among all staff members.

Fair
It was a central location to everything, easy walk to mall and several shops. The staff was extremely friendly and the restaurant food was great.
I didn’t like the unreliable internet or the lack of hot water. It was always a surprise when taking a shower, you never know what you’re getting.

It’s a walking distance to the boulevard and other establishments. We realized it on our second day so we skipped the trike and just walked around.

The staff were very courtious a always. Breakfast is very good there. It's a great location close to shopping and not far from the waterfront and boulevard.
They advertise cable TV and Satelite. But it is nothing but internet and streaming services that are not free of charge. That was my only disappointment with my stay there. They could improve in that area.
