a vibrant haven of connection!

central courtyardsociable spacegreat locationloud music

I discovered a beautiful, sociable space! the central courtyard hosted the bar and restaurant. It became a wonderful social zone. i appreciated the pre-booked breakfast for only 80 pesos. the location worked so well because it was central to everything i needed.

the music was loud, even late into the night. i could hear everything in my room, made resting difficult. activities were often expensive, so planning independently is a good option.
