I would rate this property 2.5 stars. The main building is in need of some repairs, but nothing detrimental or unsafe. The 2 pools on the property are nice. You have access to 3 other pools at another resort withing walking distance for a small fee per person. The compound has 2 restaurants with decent food. After 8 days of eating at both places off and on, the menu options did get tiring. Our condo room was privately owned, and not maintained by La Mirada. The condo was decent and updated. There was an issue with cockroaches in our room throughout the whole stay, especially the first night. I'm not sure how long the room had been vacant previous to our arrival, but that really killed our satisfaction in our stay. The roaches were mainly in the kitchen and bathroom. It was a shame, because the kitchen was nice and stocked with cooking equipment and utensils to cook your own food with. Due the cockroaches, other small bugs, and constantly spraying bug killer spray to kill them, we felt it was unsanitary to cook food in the kitchen, which was one of the main reasons we booked that room. It was very common to see cockroaches in the supermarket in the nearby Mactan Newtown, which is close to the resort, so I'm thinking the bugs and cockroaches thrive in the climate and area. The beds were quite hard, but due to our daily activities and touring the islands, we were too tired at the end of the day to care. If not for the roaches, we would probably stay again.
