A real taste of paradise that we will remember as a highlight of our trip to the Philippines!
This place is a real jewel as one is in a beautiful chalet right on the beach in the middle of paradise! Both the view & the 24-hour sound of the waves is very relaxing & therapeutic. Usually my wife & I are constantly busy with excursions & explorations but in this case, we spent most of our time here as it was so special!
