The hotel was decent for the night a bit pricey but ok. Checking was easy and fast. The lady did not help us with the taxi as requested but we figured it. The owner was nicer

The Pasanggrahan Royal Boutique Hotel
Inside was great. Don’t be deceived by the outside. Since a hurricane in 2017 they have focused on the guest rooms. Not really their fault.

Great staff. Excellent room. Awesome views. The young lady with the glasses at the front desk is the best ever. Didn't get her name unfortunately.
