“Ayana Holiday Resort strikes me as a solid choice in Kundasang, particularly for its location near local restaurants and its views. While some rooms require navigating stairs, especially in the quieter zones, I think the well-maintained gardens and provided amenities like DVD players add a thoughtful touch for a comfortable stay.”
