The Palms Resort & Bar

The parking could be better. Spaces are first-come, first-served, and neighboring resorts seem to take up the front area, which might be inconvenient. Inside, the amenities were thoughtfully provided, including a small fridge and excellent air conditioning. Though it isn’t beachfront, the accommodation had what I’d expect from a deluxe stay. The staff were especially friendly and went out of their way to help, and seemed committed to making improvements based on earlier feedback. We found it comfortable and good value, and would recommend it for a cozy getaway.

I love this place. The staff are friendly and accommodating, and it’s close to the beach and the food park. ❤️

For ₱2,500 a night, the room was okay and had working air conditioning, a mini fridge, and free bottled water. The bathroom was really small, and the shampoo and body wash bottles were nearly empty, like they hadn’t been refilled. Breakfast was fine, nothing special. The staff sometimes seemed confused or frazzled, though they did answer our questions. The beach is about a two-minute walk away. There are other food options, but they’re very limited, especially in the off-season. You get what you pay for: it’s somewhere to sleep, but I wouldn’t recommend it for a staycation.

The rooftop bar has games you can play with friends. Some are a bit old, but they still work. The pool had a strong chlorine smell, though. The place is cozy and very close to the beach. Our room was clean and had plenty of amenities. I’d recommend it for a budget vacation stay.
