"Pros: I loved this place, but the beach had issues. This is a problem in many areas of the Philippines. It appeared to be a Manmade beach, with sandbags showing. There were tires and garbage next door, which were not the fault of Maykenn, (it is a worldwide human problem), but took away from the experience. It was exceptional as far as staff, cleanliness, food and hospitality. It was peaceful and I felt very safe." ~Cleveland

"Pros: The staff and owner are very kind and the food is good. The staff is super friendly. Cons: The hidden fees and hidden greed. I wonder about the need for hidden service fees not written in the room book of instructions. We were charged a service charge for each item purchased. For example, when eating at the restaurant (delicious food) we were charged a service charge for each water, the rice, the fish and the meat. We were charged a service charge to book a boat and then again also to pack a lunch for us for the same boat. The people are nice but this level of hidden charge and greed is too much. We rented a motorcycle and they charged us for normal wear and tear- for example, small scratches under the bike- but they reside on a gravel, rocky road and recommended a bike to get to Paradise beach- all dirt and rocks. Maybe don’t recommend we rent a motorcycle if you are going to charge us for riding on a dirt road. All motorcycles have scratches under the bike in this terrain. I would recommend reading the rules in my photos and choosing excursions, meals and transportation away from her accommodations. The price point doesn’t meet normal Filipino standards in my opinion, which makes me question the greed component. Maybe greed is their motivator?" ~Obrien
