Good hotel, close to the beach, but the path from the beach to the hotel is not good. Keep in mind, this is a budget hotel in a developing nation, so set your expectations before showing up. We were pleasantly surprised with quality of the hotel! The staff there was very friendly and accommodating. Let me break it down for you.
We were 5. The room accommodated 5 nicely across 4 beds. Breakfast was included, typical Filipino breakfast, rice, egg, meat, coffee. It was good enough that we had it each morning. The air conditioner was quiet and cooled the room quickly. The room had a cabinet for storing clothes, a sink, and a small refrigerator. The shower did have hot/cold water - a comfort typically lacking in budget hotels. Only a 2-3 minute walk to the beach. It is directly behind Deparis resort. The pathway from the beach is between The Mandarin and Deparis.
The path directly outside the hotel is mostly broken concrete and other debris. It's ugly and unavoidable. It is well lit at night, and the other hotels/denizens along the way were friendly and non-threatening. We never felt scared. Then there is a hallway that puts you directly onto the beach. This hallway looks like something out of a horror film. It's thin and long. While it was mostly clean, the floor would be damp sometimes. It detracts from the experience but, we survived. The hall is lit at night, though it should be lit all day. It is 100% safe, but it just looks scary. I say, man up and handle it.
