We stayed here--in one of the end rooms with a balcony and view--for free, as my wife (a journalist) was writing the place up for her newspaper, so my opinion may be a but biased. Doctor Terrible, who owns the place (his real name is Nelson Terrible' --pronounced tare-ee-blay--but it's more fun thinking of this place as a secret hideout) gave us a personal and in depth tour, but we did plenty of wandering while there, around the places Dr. Terrible failed to show us (where I fully expected something diabolical every time, and was disappointed every time). My capsule review:
*Excellent accommodations: clean, comfy and some rooms have amazing views (like ours), mini kitchens and balconies.
*Beautiful grounds: excellent landscaping and outdoor lighting; several swimming pools (I counted four, I think); perfect for weddings (with it's own full-fledged church) and the reception afterword.
*Staff is fantastic: lots of fun, very helpful and several speak little or no English (the resort caters especially to Filipinos, which is great if you want to get away from annoying American tourists, like me).
*Restaurant is buffet with a limited selection, but everything I ate I adored.

Bottom Line: Stay here: it's great, reasonably priced and offers exquisite views of the lake.
