RAI Atrium Suites

The staff were great, very friendly, and the room service was delicious. Even so, the rooms were too pricey. I’m not sure if I was charged a “tourist” price because I’m a foreigner, but I checked out after 1 night and ended up staying at the Blue coast resort for 3 weeks. I had a much bigger room there, a more comfortable bed, a poolside balcony, and more amenities. Locals told me I’d been overcharged, and I don’t appreciate that. Unless I get a much better price, I won’t stay there when I return in April.

The restaurant food was consistently good, but order well before you want to eat. The pool was clean and the waterslides were fun for our family. Our rooms were comfortable and clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful. A great family resort.

The food was amazing, every meal was excellent, and the staff were so friendly they went out of their way to make sure we had a great time. I stayed for 2 days and loved it, though the pricing felt a little steep. The location is good, about a 15-minute motorcycle ride from St Anna's market. It would’ve been 5 stars if the paddle boat had been in service, since I couldn’t take it out on the ocean.

Villa #19 had two rooms, a bathroom, a powder room, living room, dining table, and mini kitchen with a sink but no stove. It also had a terrace, and the best part for me was being able to park right beside the villa, which made loading and unloading easier. The villas are near the pools, which have slides. They set out a grilling area with extra tables and chairs for us, a nice touch. The price included a free set breakfast. The staff were always smiling and very helpful. There’s a restaurant out front, cottages for day trips, a mini-hotel with rooms for two, and a function hall. It’s in the stretch of beach resorts in Sta. Ana, Cagayan. The sand is pure black and a little coarse along the shore, but fine and powdery once you’re in the water. The waves aren’t strong. If you’re going to Palaui Island, it’s best to stay here overnight.
