"The salt water lagoons were attractive, especially if you reserve a lagoon view room. We didn't get any cleaning service because we apparently had a light on that meant "Do not Disturb", but we don't know how we turned it on. That worked out fine because we were on a short weekend honeymoon. I loved the shower in the bathroom, with multiple water jet outlets for maximum water massage and relaxing, and the water temperature could be easily adjusted. Even better than in my condo I was renting in Cebu City. There seemed to be a decent amount of activities available like biking (we rented a tandem bicycle), played ping pong and billiards in their game room for free, but there was so much more we didn't have time to try. The breakfast buffet we had was included in our reservation/billing for free and was one of the best breakfast places I have ever had in Cebu, and never walked away hungry! The staff was very courteous and helpful from every restaurant on the property we tried. As an American, I'm used to larger portion sizes for any lunch or dinner entrée that I order, so that is just a minor complaint; however, the food quality and especially the flavor of my order was superb. I would go back to their Palermo restaurant again, no question! Their excellent staff should be proud of the work they did to make our time as happy as they made me and my wife for our short stay. We were very satisfied and would visit again! Best regards, Mr & Mrs Steve & Jocelyn B."
