La Joya Farm Resort & Spa

Pros: -Very respectful and approachable staff; -This is the place for you if you want to be close to nature (very peaceful and not congested, we had the pool all to ourselves) -Food was great, we loved the mango sticky rice with the hot chocolate; Food for sharing - we had fried chicken, sinigang pork..serving was big, good for 4-5 people -Ecofriendly: Toothpaste was even packed in paper sachets -No TV in the room: i think this was a plus so that family could bond more -Room was spacious and bathroom was clean -There was playground for kids but hopefully they could expand this -They had umbrella for the guests to use since the resort entailed a lot of walking -They also provided mosquito repellant Cons: -It would be better if there was hanging rack for wet clothes -Flies in the restaurant was bothersome, although they had that electric gadget with violet light for flies there were still some who landed on our glasses -Some facilities as pickle ball, basketball, volleyball were unavailable -Bicycles were rusty -Feeding animal schedule at 9am did not happen -They had pizza making activity but when we inquired they were out kf dough -Staff knocked on our door while we were sleeping (around 9pm) just to give us bill of our food when in fact there was 3k incidental deposit already and we already signed the receipt from the restaurant. This is the first we encountered this in a resort -Movie night was a good idea: but movie was chosen by guest who came there first…it would be better if there was a designated movie to be played
