Owned by 2 Uk ex pats from hong Kong, spider the one who had been running it dies a few days before we arrived so rather wierd that we got there in middle of rememberence ceremony for him. Food was excellant especially the pizzas and fish and chips - even had malt vinegar- engish brekfasts also good with HP and heinz ketchup !! Flashy new resort nearby called Poro point www.thunderbirdresorts.com/info/philippines/en/resorts.poropoint very nicely located on headland - bit pricey but ok for rainy day reductions - glof cousre and fantastic pool - didint see rooms but also good for happy hour cocktails.....6 hours from Manila :)
