I was really worried after seeing some negative reviews online, but my experience here totally exceeded my expectations! Right from the entrance, there's a dedicated security guard with a firearm, and they check your reservation details every time you come in. The views are absolutely unbeatable. The BBC rooms are quieter than the Ocean and Thomas room types because there are fewer of them. The staff are also fantastic and very welcoming! If you walk a few hundred meters from the hotel entrance, you can take a tuk-tuk or just walk to the main road outside where there's a 7-Eleven and some local street food restaurants. A tuk-tuk to Alona Beach costs 200 pesos. If you have some space in your luggage, I recommend bringing some instant noodles, just in case you don't fancy the restaurant food – it's a good backup! 😁 Walking along the beach towards the Ocean and Thomas resorts, they both have security guards who will ask for your room number. Every time I went there and met a guard, they were all really nice and let me look around. The beach in front of Thomas has a lot of seaweed, the Ocean's beach is decent, but BBC's is absolutely stunning! Everyone's experience is different, of course.
