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 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.

The villa where we stayed is very spacious especially the bathroom. The disappointing experience is the sudden lack of water which occured 3x during the 1 day stay, although the reception and personnel were responsive when the problem was raised.
