The fanciest resort along Saud Beach, this is a Spanish-style confection with grand staircases, bright colours, stained-glass windows and Mediterranean-inspired tiles. The unique rooms feature Ifugao art, private verandahs and Western-style mod cons. It's right on the beach. Prices drop around 40% when it's slow.
