Romantic Getaway

Reviewed By 944JoeyT

We stayed in this hotel from June 2-5, the place is magnificent, all rooms are facing the ocean and provides good and romantic views. The hotel staff are dearly accommodating and the foods are good and we enjoyed our stay, BUT let me give my piece. 1. We are a group of 12, we waited for 30 minutes at the airport for the hotel transport but when he arrived we were surprised “it was a pick up utility vehicle that can only accommodate our luggages and 4 people” and the driver advised us to wait for his returned for another 30 minutes, In short we rented a van for our transport. 2. The room has no comforter blankets they used linens as blankets. 3. We have been in some part of the world but it is our first time to see a fixed concrete block at the middle of the shower room, we realy don’t know what is it for. It is a safety risk.

The worst of our trip in Philippines

Reviewed By Clotilde M

We unfortunately booked 4 nights in this place. The facilities are not the worst, eventhrough my family had to share 1 small towel for 3 people and our room was full of cockroaches. The worst of this place are definetely the owners, a couple with absolutely NO SENSE of hospitality. This is the LESS welcoming place I have ever stayed at and the staff will create so many problems during your stay. I highly recommend to avoid!

A Korean Touch

Reviewed By Yesiloveyou

We didn't booked rooms there. We just drop by at the resort's restaurant called "Korean Bobs Restaurant" located at the back of Superman Korean Mart. We ordered Korean Wanton and Korean Dimsum Dumpling Ramen. An almost perfect taste of real Korean foods. In my observation, the restaurant has few staff. Service is average. Nothing special in this place except the food.

A little haven on Alona Beach

Reviewed By HienNga

I've only been here 12 hours but REMARKABLE soundproofing! If you've ever been in Alona, you know how bad it gets. There is, right now, godawful club music right nearby, vibrating the air outside. Yet the moment you close your door, you don't hear anything anymore. As if you're not on Alona Beach (which, by the way, is still as sleazy as ever, like the pandemic never happened). Tip-top! P/S: If you're a houseplants/rare tropical plants enthusiast, you'd absolutely love their garden. Come look at their massive variegated Mickey Mouse Alocasia!

Villa Almedilla

Tired old looking hotel with basic facilities.

Reviewed By Katia W

Friendly staff but not all them understand English well, hot water, clean, large room, close to beach but the back beach road is dirty. Strong WI-FI connection, reasonable rates. Close to shops and restaurants. Tiny single bed, no fan, no fridge, no hairdryer, no complimentary water, no safe box, roosters everywhere making noise. Very dated tired looking hotel, tiny old TV and furniture, noisy old A/C. Dogs barking all night, hallway light is on all night and curtains are very thin so the light lid up my room also. No bedside lamp, slamming doors. Super noisy neighbors around the hotel and guests are noisy too. There is a construction site right next to the hotel so bring your ear plugs! The construction workers start at 7:00 AM and go on ALL day long with different noisy machines. Mosquitos in the room and hallways and no mosquito nets for the windows or bed. Flat thin old pillows, breakfast is an additional charge so I went out to eat. No elevator but staff helped with luggage, old thin towels, thin sheets, terrible road leading up the hotel. Rooms are only cleaned upon request, no phone in the rooms, no shower curtains, mold smell in the room and bathroom. OK for a couple of days but I personally would not return.

Really great place.

Reviewed By keegan_9

This is a lovely hotel if you are looking for a great place in Bohol. A couple of minutes from everything. A great beach and the town close by. The staff are amazing. They will do everything to ensure you have a good stay.They arrange to collect to at the airport and can book your tours around the island. Relaxed and easy. Very safe and secure. Ask the young lad to sing your national anthem. He knows everyone. 10 out 10.

Room is okay for basic necessities like bed, tv, ac. No hot shower. The staff in front desk when we asked how to get hot water for our noodles was rude. Will not go back at this inn. And will not recommend this to anyone.

Bra

Reviewed By swessinger

Ligger cirka 5 km till alona, så man måste ha moppe för att ta sig någonstans. Finns inte så jätte mycket runt om kring. Ca 1 km till havet vilket var faktiskt! Stranden där är mycket lugnare än den i Alona. Frukosten var okej och kostade 100-120php, receptionen har öppet till 21 och där serverar som mat och alkohol. Ganska små rum men hade allt som behövdes. Rent. Trevlig och hjälpsam personal!

Lovely quiet resort near the beach, excellent staff

Reviewed By camvb

The place is nice with a large, well maintained pool and jacuzzi. Very quiet as well and only a 5 min walk to Dumaluan beach. The path going there is a bit dark at night (but there's a police station on the way so we assume it's quite safe). The first room we were assigned to (near the pool) was huge but a bit old and dark. A/C wasn't working so we requested to have us transferred. The staff was generous enough to have us transferred to a new villa which is much better than the first :) Breakfast could be a better with more choices and bigger servings. Or maybe provide more options for Filipino breakfast.
