Hotel 5-Star di Ilocos, Philippines

I liked the hotel, my room, and the beach was great however it had a feeling that it was descending into decrepitude. The gym was very shabby. There was no central bar or shared lounge area to mingle (temporarily closed). To get a drink I had to go into the Chinese restaurant which was then impossible to work on my laptop with a casual drink as I had intended. At breakfast it was quite possibly the worst coffee I've ever had and the eggs were also dubious. Toast was make your own but there was no toaster - only some grilling oven that would take 10 minutes to make your toast - less than ideal once you had already put your food on your plate....

The deluxe room was spacious for a family of 4, and take note of the washroom providing a “suite like” feel. Although the cabinets were obviously worn out, one of them had molds and can even smell once you open it. However, room had been kept clean throughout our stay in. There was a limitation on access to amenities. The beach was closed due to soil erosion, hence we only able to use the infinity pool. Prepare cash for the deposit of 2k per night. No lift (south wing, ocean wing) we had to ask assistance from the hotel concierges to bring the luggages all the way up to the3rd floor.

The hotel is newly built so it’s still fresh. Rooms are spacious and very clean. Beds and pillows are very comfortable, I didn’t want to get up in the morning😆The staff were very friendly and accommodating too. The only thing that we weren’t happy about was the low water pressure. If you’re looking for that refreshing shower after a long day, this might frustrate you. And the location is not central but parking is not an issue. All in all we still loved our stay and will definitely stay again.
