"Masbate City is your gateway to fun and excitement throughout the province. It has numerous charming attractions, such as festivals, places of worship, and nature parks. Tattoo Island, for example, is an adventurer's dream: venture into an underground lagoon, filled with snakes and bats. The Buntod Sand Bar and Marine Sanctuary and Bugsayon Marine Sanctuary, on the other hand, both preserve live coral reefs and other forms of marine wildlife."

The elevator is broken. No attempt was done to inform us beforehand. We ended up wasting the reservation and booking somewhere else.

The room is clean, but the pillows and the bed is smelly. Even if they provided clean sheets and pillow cases, I can still smell the foul odor (same odor of their couch in the reception area). They need to wash the pillows and mattress. Also, there are red ants, I put my backpack on the floor near the door and it when I was already out and I saw ants coming out of my bag and when I placed food in the table. They have complimentary 2 bottles of water everyday, but they didn't mention this to me until I asked if they have water. You need to ask for it otherwise you will not know.

The owner and the staff are very accommodating. They allow us to early check-in. The rooms looks old (built long time ago) but it was clean. It is very near to buntod reef marine sanctuary and sandbar and nearby areas one ride away.
