"Nice resort right on the beach. There is a pool and a designated swimming area right off the adjacent beach. Breakfast was nice with a choice of American or Filipino favorites. Staff was friendly and helpful, and provided overnight laundry service. The only downside is it’s about a 20 minute walk back out to the main road where there are other shopping and restaurant choices. Not a deal breaker though, as Grab will come directly to the resort and take you wherever you need to go."

The proximity to the market means you can easily find fresh seafood and local produce to enjoy.
