- Shuttle transport to and from the city is expensive (3000 PHP). - Rooms with a lake view do not actually overlook the lake due to tall acacia trees, though the mountain view is still nice. - Guests are required to wear a wristband all day. - The air conditioning makes the floor damp. - The beach is a bit far to walk, though a shuttle runs all day. - Part of the beach and swimming pool is for members only—not accessible to hotel guests. - The kids’ playroom is not free—300 PHP for 2 hours.

- The quality of the Italian in-room dining was fantastic. - The room was very clean. - The air conditioning is very powerful (estimated at 2.5HP). - The view of the green mountains is beautiful. - There is a walking path around the lake with a well-maintained garden featuring a mix of acacia trees, palm trees, and elephant ear plants—walking around takes over an hour. - Excellent breakfast, with the option to sit indoors or outdoors surrounded by nature. - The beach has dark sand but no rocks, so water shoes are not needed. It slopes gently, making it suitable for our 1-year-old. - Beach chairs are free to use.

The Filipino and Chinese food here is bad, this is not good considering we are in the Philippines. We have learned to never order Filipino or Chinese food at this hotel, the irony is that we only order the Italian dishes. The cooks for Filipino food needs to be either replaced or retrained! How can we showcase Filipino dishes to foreigners when the Filipino food in the hotel is worse than the Italian food? An example of bad food: the adobo is so sweet it is no longer adobo — it’s paksiw. The beef tapa is so sweet it’s almost like candy. The chicken we ordered came to us not fully cooked, it still had blood. The sinigang was terrible, the meat was hard. The crispy pata was hard. The steamed fish was not fresh, I don’t think they know how to cook it at all, whatever recipe they used was terrible. The pancit was inedible. Majority of the customers will be from Luzon or foreigners, and people from Luzon and foreigners do not like food to be that sweet. It’s understandable if the hotel was located in Iloilo, and Illonggo food is sweet, but it is not.

Love the location, amenities, and the staff

Overpriced food. They charge like a 5 star hotel which the service and hotel is clearly not. No other restaurant options or grocery store nearby. The rooms needs deep cleaning specially the CR. There are even cobwebs. First time I had issues with free breakfast. Every morning, I have to explain which is embarassing and annoying at the same time.

Private beach, most staff are attentive. The lagoon view is relaxing. You can opt to walk to go to the beach (8-10mins) or you can avail of their shuttle.

I booked through Booking.com and it indicates that the room I chose is good for 4 people max. When I arrived at Pico Sands, I was told that the room is only good for 2 adults. I intended to put 4 teenagers in the room so I had to pay extra for 2 individuals! I was surprised to find out that this hotel charge per person and not according to occupancy. It's really MISLEADING!!! Also, you have to pay extra for using their recreational facilities such as basketball court, billiards and bowling. I wasn't also impressed with the food choices for lunch/dinner. You have to have EXTRA, EXTRA money to enjoy this place.

Pleased with the location. Breakfast menu is always delicious and authentic Filipino flavor. We love the Pumpkin and Shrimp Risotto. Staff is is friendly and respectful! Shuttle service is easy and accessible.

The hotel staff were so accomodating specially Ms. Hannah at the frontdesk. A panoramic view with trees, flowers and lagoon outside the hotel and a beautiful landscape of the area. Breakfast was delicious and the facilities were excellent. We really enjoyed the beach and outdoor activities- cove tour and snorkling.

The breakfast selection when we stayed wasn’t so nice. No western food like bacon, no egg station. The Filipino dishes were not good - pork longganisa, chicken pastel & beef picadillo. I was hoping for the usual breakfast staples like tapa and tocino

I love the views, the beach, the super comfortable bed and the shuttle!

It's very remote from civilisation and there's no free hotel transpaortation to for example Nasugbu. Also part of the beach is not open to hotel guests. Pool closed way too early.

Since it's a hotel/condo complex there's a few options to eat and have activities. Also I liked the sports facilities and the free gym.

The hotel rooms can be improved still- the wooden part in the toilet was falling apart. The light inside the hotel room are not good, the low dim yellow lights used hurt my eyes.

The breakfast was good. The location was good as well. The beach is very nice. Overall, you can relax easily. The staff are super friendly and kind.

The facilities really showed their age. Lots of rust in the bathroom, yellowing of sheets, and no fan in the restroom. We had 4 rooms and when we entered the smell from the restroom was very unpleasant. The pool area was nice but the mats and seats were breaking apart. The dining tables in the restaurants were plastic wicker so some glasses are prone to tip over. The beach bar service takes forever even for 1 nacho - took 40 minutes with 1 other table in service. We visited a few times because it is the only eatery at the beach. Limited AC or fans in central areas.

Free breakfast had a different protein every morning. 3 restaurants on the property and free shuttle service to the different areas. Walkable and pretty landscape. Food was a good price for our party size. Staff was very nice. Ease to bowling and other activities was appreciated.
