The staff was amazing and the service was great. The only thing I didn't like was the bed, the bed was too hard for me, but that is only my preference. Other than that, i highly recommend a stay here.

Good location, but
We had a great stay, hotel is well located in the center, convenient for tour pickups, breakfast is ok, but main concern was that we booked a tour through an agency, and for some reason one of the tour providers had a mishandling situation, that being a third party, they reached to the hotel, and the managing personal of the hotel, gave away our information to the third party.
This was very surprising from the hotel reception not to keep our privacy first.

It is really close to the Bay Walk - spent a few nights there and just walked back. Close to most things that a visitor might need. Some great views too as advertised...it is called Sunlight Hotel afterall.

I had the most relaxing time at `hotel moment I arrived, the experience was flawless. The check-in process was smooth.
The customer service throughout my stay was top-notch, from the incredible room service. The atmosphere, views, and drinks were all exceptional.
Although I stayed for only three days, it was so wonderful that I didn’t feel the need to step outside the hotel.

Convenient location 5 minutes from the airport nut in the middle of town where the local market is. Staff is friendly and ready to help. Breakfast buffet is great something for any picky eater. There’s an omelette station where you can order your omelette the way you want

The hotel doesn’t look like much from outside but it actually sits on the 4th & 5th floors of the building. Once upstairs you will have a great view from the Terrance or dining room.

Happy Surprise
Room fairly modern for Philippines. We accidentally booked a good location, the Baywalk was just three blocks away. It’s convenient to the airport, and most tour companies will come directly here due to the good location. Close to markets, mall and many stores that are up and down the street in walking distance. We were happy with everything.

Pictures looks very nice, but they are fotoshoped and in reality the hotel looks 20-30 years older, so it dosnt feel like the same hotel you see. The breakfast is tragic, 40 min before closning there was only rice left. After talking to the manager the staff did their best to give us something to eat that was appreciated. But the breakfast is not worth its price.

The property is this small front tucked into a very busy street. Blink and you'll miss it. Inside, it's a nice hotel, with nice touches of mirrors, marble,and tile. The staff is numerous, extremely helpful and polite. Not a scowl in the place, it was delightful.
The rooms are comfortable and spacious, the bed was a bit stiff for me, but that's me. Slept anyway.
Security is ubiquitous, very friendly, and genuinely interested.
I would definitely come back here. The mall is a short walk away, lots of shops on the road, and tons of "tuktuks" for a cheap easy ride.

Clean and comfy for an overnight stay
Everything was fine, this was just a quick one night stay before flying out. Room was clean and comfortable, staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was a bit limited for western tastes. Only thing that I didn’t like was the room did not have an outside facing window, it did have a balcony door, but this opened onto a corridor! I was only there overnight so wasn’t a problem but if I was staying longer this would be a problem, and this was not specified in the reservation

Stayed here for 2 nights. The room that got assigned to us didnt’t have any windows so that a bummer. It’a also located at the central of the town on a very busy street next to a wet market. But with all the hussle and bussle, outside noise and smell of the wet market I enjoyed our stay. It was in a convenien location walking distance to the Bay Walk, market, stores, and transportation. The room was very clean and modern along with the complementary filipino-style buffet breakfast. If peace, quiet, great view is your thing … this is not the hotel for you. But if you need a clean hotel with very good service that’s close to everything this hotel is highly recommended.

The hotel is located on the fourth floor of a shopping center with a small lobby on the first floor. Many rooms do not have a window. You must pay extra to get a "Deluxe" room with a window. The beds are very firm but the rooms are nice and roomy. The staff is very nice and willing to accommodate needs and requests, Airport transfers are available for a fee.

Large clean room. Staff is friendly and front desk staff was helpful with questions and planning. Mattress was the hardest I ever slept on. Thin mattress on a board. A good bed is pretty basic to decent stay. Multiple roosters just below our room kept us up most of the night. Cold shower and had to ask for soap. Restaurant was convenient and low priced but below average. We stayed based on recommendation of our dive boat Aggressor which picked us up late afternoon. Hotel was not flexible on late checkout despite a significant number of boat guests each week from Aggressor. We paid for extra half day, although the hotel rate is not that high. Suggest you stay at another hotel

Hotel is adequate. Be aware of its limitations.
Conveniently located; odd layout configuration of rooms, hallways, stairways. Many rooms lack views (have windows to inner hallways). Place seems very old, in need of a facelift. Rooftop is not very welcoming. Bed mattresses are very hard. No bath soap or hand soap provided; must ask to have them in room.
Staff was pleasant. Good security at front door/lobby. Breakfast offered had a nice range of food (including made-to-order omelets). Happy hour pricing was very inexpensive.
Note: hotel is hard pressed to give confirmation of reservation. Several of my friends double booked for same nights, for fear of not having a room when not needed. Confirmations come very late after reserving, if at they come at all.

The hotel is located centrally. Is clean. But the service and the staff are the worst.
They didn’t have hand wash, towels in the room. Even after asking they delivered them after 30 mins.
They couldn’t give water for the welcome drink. Welcome drink is such a bluff. They kept putting things on each other.
Gym didn’t even have a water tap.
Staff service was the worst. While I was waiting to be served the staff at the restaurant kept on taking other guest queries. How rude and unprofessional. Would not recommend to stay.
