From the moment we got to the resort, we were greeted by a lovely lady named Faith and two beautiful dogs (Kai Kai and Goldie, which were two rescued animals) Faith was very attentive and made us feel instantly welcomed even though we had made the hotel booking two hours prior to arrival.
The resort is nicely spaced out, with a large sized swimming pool and a nicely kept garden. The beach is a stones throw away where you can watch the sunset with a nice glass of gin and tonic.
We had booked the double room which was clean, cozy and had everything we needed with clean white sheets and a very comfortable bed, which my fiancé and I are extremely fussy about. The air conditioning seemed to be on the blink which meant that it was not blowing cold air however after notifying Faith, she moved us to a king size room which was bigger and had a kitchenette. She was extremely apologetic but she did not hesitate to move us.
The breakfast was included in the price however we have had so much Filipino cuisine whilst travelling around the Philippines for a week and a half that we just wanted something familiar which was an English breakfast. This was by far one of the best English breakfasts I’ve had in the Philippines and therefore ordered this every morning. The English breakfast was not part of the included meal but we were happy to pay extra PHP160 per pax.
We also had dinner there the last night because we were leaving early the next day and ordered a adobo, pinakbet that came with unlimited rice which was tasty. We were given x2 complimentary home made creme caramel and x2 San Mig Beers which wasn’t expected but was a lovely gesture. We told Faith that we had to leave early the next day and therefore would miss the breakfast because the kitchen was opened from 7 and that was when were getting picked up. Yet again she had anticipated our needs and offered to open the kitchen earlier to cater for us.
We can honestly say that our stay here was fantastic, always so friendly, personable and will go the extra mile.We would come back here again and most importantly recommend our friends and family to stay here when visiting Siquijor.
Thank you Gold View for making this experience a home away from home.
