Me and my partner have stayed for a weekend and honestly I am so happy we found this place. I will start from check-in, it was a smooth check-in with the help of one of the front desk staff (Phine). We felt special from the beginning to the end because of the friendly staff. Beautiful lobby with souvenir shop and a restaurant. The room was lovely, super clean with most comfortable bed I have ever slept on a hotel! bathroom with shower was very clean. The swimming pool is superb! Early morning dip is the best and after that avail the amazing breakfast buffet at the Cristoforo restaurant. (they serve lunch and dinner buffet too!) The hotel is located near the highway so it is easy to find, very close to Robinsons Pangasina, must try restaurants and coffee shops. Overall, we really enjoy our stay and will definitely come back. Thank you The Monarch Hotel!
