The tides breakfast buffet was amazing! alvin joshua tuñacao really took care of us, he made sure we used our complimentary breakfast voucher. mamerto limaco iii helped us during dinner and even gave us a finger bowl for the seafood. the lechon fiesta presentation was so fun. I couldn't help but dance!

i arrived late, and they wanted to upsell me to the presidential suite for an extra $550 per night. they said it was a deal, but i declined the offer! then, they admitted they did not have a room for me. also, the plate of cashews, walnuts and peanuts on a plate in the room and 3 bags of nut snacks are not good idea considering my sons nut allergy
