Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 6 reviews
Birmingham Allen is located at the coastal town of Allen, Northern Samar, Philippines. It is accessible by plane from Manila to Catarman, Samar via PAL Express. The resort is a 5 bedroom modern deluxe resort with swimming pool and jacuzzi and with direct access to the sea at the back of the resort. It has a magnificent view of the San Bernardino strait between Sorsogon and Samar.
Great outlook and excellent location but facilities problems
Reviewed By Vanessa CI understand this is probably the best and most luxurious hotel in Allen (Northern Samar) which may make it a 4 - 5 star Filipino hotel but it would average a 2 -3 Star in Australian standards. I did find the cost excessive - 3,200 peso a night (about $100AUD) in the Filipino contexts. We stayed for 3 nights. Our room was brilliant - overlooking the ocean, very spacious and bright. A few interesting features - the room key / lock was a bike chain around the door handles. The shower had a constant run of water into a bucket. I actually found this very distressing with the waste of water given that so many Filipinos have to go to a communal well to cart water back to their village homes. The wash basin came away from the wall meaning that the water simply ran down the back of the basin onto the floor. The bed was uncomfortable and the room was not serviced at all during our stay. The positives - the meals were great and the food very tasty and well prepared. It did take some time for the meals to come but the kitchen staff and hostess explained this - they were doing everything and locals came in for meals as well. The restaurant area was lovely - outside facing the ocean. All staff were pleasant and helpful. The handyman was working constantly (but major repair work needs to happen). The pool area was beautiful and the sunsets divine. The area was safe for tourists. Wi Fi available downstairs at the restaurant area. We enjoyed our stay at this hotel but found the room problems very concerning.

Rating for Baypark Inn by Baypark Hotel

Since Baypark Inn is not yet in Trip Advisor, I decided to put the rate under Baypark Hotel since it is under the same management. Pros: New building (June 2019) Nice and friendly staff Affordable rate (Php 1000 for 24hrs for matrimonial room) Key card for room Free wifi Clean bedroom Aircon is cool Comfortable bed Cable tv Clean bathroom Hot and cold shower Bidet Free 2 toothbrush with toothpaste Free soap Conditioner and shampoo dispenser Cons: *Free parking but area is quite limited No free breakfast Me and my husband will definitely come back when we need to stay in Calbayog, Samar.

Hotel accomodation information in Catbalogan, Samar of the Philippines.
Good As Expected, Fine As Always
Reviewed By Jun LIt has been years since my last review of this hotel. There has been new additions to the accommodation and lodging market in Catbalogan but Rolet Hotel is still the best choice. The hotel has been renovated, outside and inside. The rooms feature new cold/hot water showers, new air-conditioning units and better WiFi connectivity. There's still limited parking ( a very scarce commodity in Catbalogan ) but it has spaces in front to still squeeze several vehicles. There's JC Foodspot and Mayong across the street and the usual stores around. Still the best choice around.

Reviewed By ROD KSo pleased that we chose to stay at Binang and Cadio instead of a hotel in Catarman. A wonderful oasis of calm surrounded by natural beauty. The charming Mai Mai looked after our every need and made our stay extra special. A large room with air-conditioning, bathroom, restaurant, bar, library and a large swimming pool. A great choice of breakfast and evening meals all cooked to perfection. All within a stones throw of the beach. Our two week stay ended all too quickly and we were very sad to leave. We highly recommend Bing and Cadio and will definitely be back. Rod and Gloria.

Clean
Reviewed By marcozieglerI can’t confirm the good reviews. It’s maybe also the best stay Catarman. The room was acceptable clean, the shower warm but the water pressure makes it hard to get wet. Linen and towel was acceptable clean. The parking is protected but I am not sure if it is really safe. The receptionist is mostly gone. The WiFi works slow . Actually there are building constructions in progress which causing noise from the early morning . I don’t recommend but I also don’t recommend Catarman

Amazing stay
Reviewed By yelmapeThe resort was amazing and well-maintained. We have traveled with family from Tacloban. They observe safety within the resort by the time you arrive until departure. The staffs are very friendly and attentive. They made sure we are well taken care of. Only issue is that in our beach villa, there are mosquitos in the night. But that didn’t bother us much. The villa is beautiful and spacious, complete with room amenities. We also got a complimentary boat ride included in our stay. Food was great. Kudos to Frank who extended his impeccable hospitality to us.

Needs TLC
Reviewed By GlennC48The best part of my stay was the staff: always friendly, very available to help in any way. Receptionist, GLISA, deserves special recognition. The next best part was the breakfasts: each of my 3 mornings I enjoyed a freshly cooked meal including fresh fruit. On the down side: The air conditioner in my first room started making terrible noise. I mentioned this to the front desk and they sent a young man immediately. But the noise stopped just before he arrived. I ended up staying in that room through the night, but the aircon woke me up a few times during the night. Glisa transferred me to a new room for my 2nd and 3rd nights. It was larger and quieter. But now there was no hot water! The first thing I noticed in the room was a 2-person hot tub. But no hot water came out. And the jets for the tub never worked. The next morning, I wanted a shower, and still no hot water. I will go back when I am in the area again. But I hope they fix the little things. My impression was/is that it just needs some TLC--Tender Loving Care

Good location
Reviewed By sydneysteveThe van I traveled in from Borongan City comes in to the city directly past this hotel so I was able to be dropped off right in front. A bonus. I stayed in a single room which was small but it had a wardrobe, long bench, chair and good lighting. The aircon and TV worked well. The restaurant has an extensive menu but many items were unavailable. Service can be indifferent but this is commonplace around Samar. Lived up to my expectations of being one of the better choices here.
