Cordova Reef Village Resort

You get what you're paying for so it would be best to set your expectations at a reasonable level since our were set high. The property has so much potential. The units are detached and clean and the grounds are relatively well kept. Our biggest diss appointment was with the beach. It's about a 20-25 meter stretch of private beach protected by a sea wall. Not exactly what they advertised. You have a great view of the water if all you want to do is bask in the sun but to say this is beach front and put up out dated pictures is just bad taste. When we asked about this at the front desk, we were told "That is the complaint we receive regularly from guests" and that following our complaint, they were going to put up "real pictures" ... We were told that they were fixing the beach and that they would organize boat trips to nearby island - this never happened apparently due to the conditions of the waters. Anyways, as already mentioned, the menu is limited, you'll know it by heart after your first meal and the karaoke bar next door will put american idol auditions to shame but such is life. Service at the resto/bar is inconsistent, sometimes slow sometimes speedy and not very organized. overall, we made the best of the situation and some of the staff made us feel welcome and tried their best to make the experience more enjoyable given the beach situation and complaint. I doubt I would return unless i knew for a fact that the management had turned things around and the beach was ACTUALLY a beach. Given what they charged us I'm giving this place average, but on a side note, agoda charged us and we had paid cash at the hotel. This might just be something on agoda's end so im not letting it affect the ratings.

There were clear signs of wear. The rooms are separate circular units with a partition that divides the room in half, on for the sleeping area and the other for the toilet (which had a bath tub in my case separate fro the shower). There is also a relaxing area outside of each unit with a table and chairs. The air conditioning system is decent, however, there had a shortage in electricity that was solved in a few hours. There is no safe, no directory book. A phone that links to the front desk? What was unbelievable to me was the fact that there was no Internet access. They are repairing the systems, they said. I wonder for how many months. It seems it comes for a while. But, if you are looking for a very quiet stay, this is the way to go. A brand new set of towels would give a better image to the hotel. All I got were pilling, wore down, and gray (not white). Also the bath robes. Moreover, In noticed some towels with bird droppings.
