Place was not that clean and many dogs tight parking space

MBH is a remarkably attractive facility: large rooms with updated shower/bath; multiple swimming pools and recreation areas; soft sand beach; friendly, helpful staff aside from the restaurant. All facilities are well maintained and fully cleaned. Check-in and check-out was smooth and flawless. Security is unobtrusive but more than adequate to insure guest safety. Unfortunately, food service is a serious problem. Like many resorts, MBH prohibits outside food but that restriction is more troubling here than at other resorts. In the restaurant, poorly trained wait staff members seem to wander around a good deal and do whatever they can to avoid serving customers. Just getting coffee is a 20+ minute ordeal while the food is bland and tasteless . . . the worst of Filipino cuisine. The menu lists other options (pizza for example), but they are generally ”unavailable.” And you can expect to pay 30% to 50% more than comparable dishes cost elsewhere. We had considered extending our stay, but after two days we were so displeased by the food service that we elected to go elsewhere and we will not return.

My wife and I had a pleasant Valentine's Day excursion at the Coral Beach Club and I will say a bit more about the resort than I usually do. Our first reaction was that there is a lot stuffed into a relatively small space—six buildings with 26 guest rooms, a dining/recreation area, a pool/jacuzzi complex, and a parking area—in 2200 square meters with a 40 meter beach front. Closer observation showed that the resort is well laid out and the plan produces a family-friendly resort with something to entertain virtually all guests. Plus, the resort does not offer day passes so the facilities are never overloaded. As we settled in, we noticed that our room and the facilities are exceptionally clean and well maintained. Linens and towels appear fresh and new, while necessary items (water, instant coffee, soap, shampoo, toothpaste) were delivered to our room every morning. The resort fronts on a public beach which is swept twice a day. Uniformed security officers prevent loitering, while vendors promoting banana boat rides, snorkeling, and floating bamboo platform rentals are courteous and helpful. Prices seem to be set by the LGU so there isn't much point in negotiating and there is little danger of being over charged. We rented a floating bamboo platform for a day (P1500) and couldn't have been happier. When necessary, the vendor trooped to the store for us and moved our platform on request so we could see more of the coral, The dining/recreation area deserves special mention. The staff are uniformly friendly and helpful, and the menu is a delight. There are items for every taste and budget: kiddie hot dogs up to adult priced steaks (which are imported from the United States). For Valentine's dinner, my wife had a tasty rib eye steak while I enjoyed a wonderful salmon filet. Breakfasts were included with our package and my wife and I both enjoyed the Full American Breakfast. Staff members were able to add a couple extra pieces of toast and an extra cup of coffee when I asked. The facilities are smoke free, but designated smoking areas are conveniently located throughout. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to return with friends and family.
