This was my second time in Rendezvous Beach Resort, Lapu-Lapu City. The first time I was there was more than a decade ago, back when cottages where still made of wooden huts. They did improve a lot since then. The cottages are now cemented and well structured. I really liked the idea of these square-shaped cemented cottages as it looks bigger.
Before enumerating all the nega's(negatives) and revealing my reasons why I won't go back to this resort, let's brighten it up first by tackling on its positives. The beach is ok based on public beach standards, it also has a nice facade. There are a number of big cottages which are very much useful for big groups. And, the resort is not that much crowded as compared to its neighboring resorts like Blue Reef and Ocean Pearl, and Banyo Beach, I think.
My greatest concern wherever I go, may it be a restaurant, mall, or beach is the toilet or comfort room. It's one of the basics of an establishment. Everyone uses the toilet, who doesn't? The primary thing that irked me the most in Rendezvous Beach Resort is that they do have a toilet, but the door has no lock. Not only is the door lock missing, but the door handle itself is also missing thus creating a big hole in the door. Who can ever pee or change clothes in a toilet with a big hole? The only remedy for this is that you need to have a watcher who would cover the hole for you. Not only that, water in the toilet is very much limited. I think they only put a barrel of water for a day's consumption. The result of this limited water? A very stinky toilet. (fainting...zzzz...)
To add more insult to injury, they charge 20 pesos for taking a shower with very limited water source. The person watching the shower area kept on telling us that we need to hurry cause the water cost is very high. We were so annoyed then. Really??? How high? Like having a water bill of like 20pesos per pail? I also forgot to mention that the 20-peso shower room is dirty, rusty and not worth the 20-peso charge. Lastly, they don't also have a sink to wash your hands or your plates for that matter. So frustrating...
OMG, sorry for ranting. Enough of this complaints. If my above concerns will still not be addressed, I'm sure I wouldn't be paying Rendezvous Beach Resort another visit. How about you, are you willing to take the risk and try the almost "water-less" Rendezvous Beach Resort?
