The accommodation we chose was unfortunately a disappointing experience. While there seemed to be a nicer option available, we opted for the cheaper nipa hut style that turned out to be dusty, uncomfortable, and overall uninviting. The lack of basic cleanliness, combined with unpleasant odors and insect issues, made our stay memorable for all the wrong reasons. On the bright side, we found a beautiful hotel nearby that offered everything we wished we had where we initially stayed.

Our stay at this accommodation was far from enjoyable. While we opted for the budget-friendly option, it turned out to be ugly, dirty, and quite uncomfortable. The location was decent, given it’s close to the beach, but the overall experience left us eager to leave for a better place.

The room we stayed in was in a "nipa" hut style with dusty bamboo beds and a very stale air that triggered my allergies. There were lizard droppings on the bed, which was quite alarming, and the pillow felt disgusting.

My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing. While the location was decent with a walk to the beach, the overall quality of the room fell far below expectations. The style was rustic but lacking in cleanliness and comfort. Unfortunately, the value for money just wasn't there, as I couldn't even bear to try the breakfast due to the conditions of the room. I found it necessary to move to a different place after just one night.

I had a pretty disappointing experience at this resort. The room we stayed in was in dire need of maintenance and cleanliness, which made it hard to enjoy our stay. The location was decent as it was a short walk to the beach, but the journey wasn't easy due to the road conditions. Overall, while we were aiming for budget-friendly accommodations, it didn't justify the state of the room and amenities provided.

The room was quite shabby and dirty, with dusty surfaces and unpleasant odors. The bedding was subpar, and I even found lizard droppings on the sheets. It felt very uncomfortable and unhygienic.

Our stay at this resort was quite disappointing. We opted for the cheaper accommodation which ended up being dirty and uncomfortable, highlighting the stark contrast with the apparently nicer options available. The poor cleanliness and lack of basic amenities like hot water and air conditioning really made our experience difficult, which is a shame because the location was reasonably good.
