Since we're a group of 3, we took the Double Deluxe Room named "LEMLUNAY" which is good for 4 persons. (Please be reminded) Lemlunay 4,5,6 and 7 are a bit far from the reception area and the restaurant. If you need something or you need to eat at the restaurant, you'll have to walk for about 5 minutes from your room.

Our room is located at the 2nd floor of a 2-level native house. It is a simple accommodation with basic amenities such as a ceiling fan, a television set, 4 single beds and guest what? It has 3 toilet and bath inside the room! For only 950 pesos per night, this is definitely a cheap deal!

During our stay, we ate all our meals in their restaurant. Their food is quite good with the use of fresh tilapia which Lake Sebu is known for. We also had the chance to have a boat tour around the lake which the resort offers. I will write separate posts on these later.
