The hotel's staff are polite, and the place is nice. Though the place is not that big still it is good. The con is that the food is a bit pricey :)

Staffs are friendly, helpful and approachable. Food is great but too pricey. Hope they could give or have option to add kiddie meal for breakfast. Room is too small especially if you are staying with a kid.

Definitely felt robbed with the P11k/night price tag. Don’t be deceived, it’s an old hotel that is now managed by Henry Hotel. Service was not good, people lacked warmth. The front desk staff hurriedly checked us in and just let me read thru their guidelines instead of explaining it like what she did with the other guests before us (lobby was small so we could hear their conversation). There was no guest checking in after us. We were given the farthest room on the second floor. We accepted this since they said they are fully booked and even if we requested for a ground floor room since we have a toddler and it would be hard to go up and down the (narrow) stairs. We even saw unoccupied rooms on the ground floor when we checked in. The room was very small, there was no room to walk freely to go to the toilet if your luggage (even the handcarry size) is open. The AC in the room is not enough to keep the room cold at night (maybe not enough HP or the placement is wrong?). There was no ref to keep our water cold, though you can ask for water at their restaurant. The floor in our room was sticky and didn’t feel clean at all. There was no TV, which is ok with us since we spent our time outside/at the beach. Toilet and bath fixtures were old and shower area wasn’t enclosed so theres a tendency that toilet area will get wet when you shower. The resort has a small pool with limited sun loungers so you need to take turns with the other guests to use the pool. The breakfast is plated. Food was just ok. We expected higher quality because it’s apt 1b. It’s very different from their makati branch. We like the cabanas at the beach, but this too needs refurbishing already. We checked the other resorts adjacent to this hotel and they have even cheaper rates with better offerings (amenities, food, bigger rooms, etc.) Overall, the hotel is overpriced based on what they are offering. We will not recommend the hotel to my friends and family.

I had some doubts about staying here because of the previous reviews I have read; had it been up to me I would've booked at another resort but my sister's family had booked there for her 60th bday celebration. And she did not know we were coming... we planned a surprise and the The Henry staff helped us do it! (thank you Danielle!) The rest of our stay was made so pleasant because of the efficiency of the staff. Customer service of EVERYONE there was simply EXCELLENT! (Manuel and Mart and ALL Apt1B's crew) And the food was great, kudos to its inhouse resto Apt 1B! Though we stayed for just 3 days, our days were full and satisfying! Some suggestions: More lounge chairs and cabanas by the beach; need to improve bathrooms and clean up the gross rusty areas below the sinks; clean bidet heads please; completely cover the shower area so that water does not overflow or spill into the toilet area (it gets really messy); provide anti-bug lights in the resto area to prevent various insects from diving into our food. I'm still giving The Henry a full 5 stars!
