Emerson Chang

Truly disappointed. The place is dated, but still has some charm. Room we got didn't have a fully functional AC. The control unit was broken and when we finally got engineering to come help, they told us it was actually controlled central air and that the unit wouldn't control temperature anyways. Basically lied to us since I could at least turn it on/off. They weren't able to get us another room since it was a busy holiday weekend. One of the lights wasn't working, making the room quite a bit darker. Water pressure on the shower was a bit low and a bit of rust was present when we turned it on the first time. Least I hope it was just rust. Staff in other regards were courteous and helpful. Pretty close to the port if you want to visit Samal island

Came to the park, did not stay at the resort, so no comment on that. The park was great, and the guided tour was worth it. Staff were there to provide much info and help with photography. Lots of places for shots. Got to see a local tribe dance for us, which was interesting. The coolest thing was the albino peafowl/peacock. The buffet was nice, included fresh produce they farm on their property. There was even a place where you could fish for lunch. It rained frequently since we're in the mountains, so we missed out on all the more adventurous stuff like the zip line, skywheel, sky bike, etc. There are a bunch of rooms/cabins on premises. Would be great for family outings. Great experience, would visit again.
