Would strongly advise against staying here, unless you just need a place to sleep for one night
Pros:
1. Clean
2. Stuff during check-in was nice
Cons:
1. Reception area is pretty much non-existent - there is no one there when I came down there twice at 22 and 7.30
2. Only one towel for a room with 2 guests. Given there was no one at reception, the issue was not solved
3. The towel was not cotton, mostly polyester
4. Toilet flush button doesn't work. You need to open the lid to pull the lever
5. Sink is severely clogged. At least 2 minutes is needed for water to go through
6. There is a common area right outside entrances to rooms - at night there are people there and it's quite loud
7. Very week Smart internet signal and no signal for Globe at all. Also no WiFi
8. For non-locals - there are mostly eateries, no cafes/restaurants nearby
9. A couple dozen closely parked cars make getting to the entrance inconvenient
This resort is not at the beach front but the place is decent and clean. Some parts are still under construction but the helpers are nice and the bathrooms are good and comfy. The price is also cheaper compared to others and they let you borrow kitchen stuff and cook and all. Not bad but a lot of improvements overall.
The place definitely needs a little bit of time to finish. The experience wasn't all that pleasant, a big part of the building is still under construction and work going on around can be unsightly. However, considering the owner and the housekeeping are very responsive and attentive, and the rooms and other facilities that are already functional are well thought out, I would say the price for the place is more than reasonable. Just be prepared to walk around a lot to go up and down the stairs from the kitchen to the dining area, and from the place to the beach.
Location of the lodge is along Calayo road, 1 road away from the beach. Walk to Calayo beach is around 1-2 mins (it's an alley going to the beach).
As for the lodge itself, room was clean incl. the bathroom. They provide only 1 blanket and towel per bed even if the bed is good for two. A security deposit of 1k will be asked and returned upon check-out.
Anyway, each room was provided with one dining table outside (this table can seat 6 persons). My only gripe was that these tables are not numbered so some guests will occupy more than one table. I do hope that the tables will be numbered so that guests can really utilize what was intended for them.
Nevertheless, we had a good stay here and the staff (esp. Mam Bheng) were really accommodating and understanding. Recommended for family and group outings at Calayo Beach.
