This hotel is a true gem in Laguna, with its breathtaking beachfront location and welcoming atmosphere. The rooms are not only beautifully appointed but also come with a lovely tub and complimentary welcome drinks. Getting an upgrade for a better view was the cherry on top, and having a TV in the room added to the comfort. However, the price may be a bit high for some travelers.
