Ανακαλύψτε τη διαμονή σας σε Puerto Galera

I need a new vocabulary. Having previously used all the superlatives to describe other resorts, I need new ones, as this is an order of magnitude beyond all previous resort vacations. The physical resort, the food, the service, the diving, the attitude of the staff, everything. I was met at the airport, guided through the ferry terminal, picked up at the ferry landing, taken to the resort, and greeted by name, by everyone, all week. At no time was I ”just another dollar”, and at no time was any member of the staff less than entirely cheerful and helpful. I could get used to this, real easy... It's as if I were a valued guest, instead of just a customer. Imagine that. To make this shorter for those who don't want to read the rest of this... I began my plans to return on the way home. I rarely go anywhere outside of the USA twice, (been there, done that..) Not this time. I am going back and I will bring as many friends as I can. It's 14 hours on a jet from LAX to Manila, and 4 more hours after that. I hate travel, but this was worth it. I'll take Philippine Airlines again next time too. They don't treat you like cattle, sheep or dirt. I have now felt respect while travelling, and I like it! The flight wasn't so bad. I am 6” tall, weight 240, and was comfortable in economy. Free wifi, a tv with free movies, tv shows, music..etc.. a very pleasant flight, in both directions. Food OPTIONS! You get to choose. Wow. On arrival at Marco Vincent, I was greeted by name, shown my room, a crate was outside my door to put my dive gear in, it was the last time I handled it all week. My room was large, extremely clean, super comfortable with a small fridge full of water, a table w 2 chairs, a big shower, AC unit, very firm mattress, spotless soft white sheets, a 32” TV with plenty of channels and it was quiet. All meals were as good as I have had anywhere. This place only has 32 rooms, so the buffet menu is not extensive, but I always found more than enough of what I like to eat. The quality and presentation was always top notch. The quality of the food extends to the dive boat, Big Beth. They have a chef aboard and those meals are the same quality as at the resort. Remember, this is a day boat, and they have a chef aboard serving freshly made gourmet meals. (Sure beats grabbing a sandwich at Walmart on the way to the lake....) The diving itself was like nowhere else. I saw things I didn't know existed.. an electric clam? WOW! Nudibranchs, mantis shrimp, lion fish (where they belong), a few octopi, at least three, maybe five, different morays, frogfish, giant clams, miniature seahorses, scorpionfish, colors that I can't describe...more different fish than I could list in a week... Every dive was something new, and all conducted from a really nice boat, the nicest boat I saw there. Big, clean, outfitted for diving with camera stations, charging stations, camera tanks, full emergency gear, oxygen, AED. not to mention the galley where the chef w

Huge disappointment. I had selected this hotel to take advantage of its immediate seaside location. But the strange layout of the hotel means that most of the rooms overlook the corridor, requiring the curtains, which are blackout curtains, to be closed. Result: from a super bright room with possibly a sea view that you were hoping for, you find yourself in a completely dark room. There is therefore no point in being by the sea. (Photos taken with the door open and curtains open). The general quality of the hotel is average, and the prices charged are therefore excessive. Room size ok, but: - no chair or table available. You only have your bed to sit on, eat, work,... - noisy air conditioning, which you therefore cannot leave running at night if you want to sleep properly. - wardrobe, but no coat rack in it. - a refrigerator, but which does not get cold, or even heats up. - no shower gel available in the shower No problem with cleanliness. Good quality bedding also. Simple breakfast, served on a plate. Not a hotel where I will return and which I do not necessarily recommend either.

This is a great boutique hotel with spacious villas suitable for our family. The pool is great, happy hour is a blast 4-6pm daily and rooms are comfortable. The ate at their restaurant every night and food was good. During the day we took the boat which cost approx 3k for 4 hours and did island hopping. The stairs in the resort to your room is a challenge so if you have limited mobility then avoid but we had no issue with it.

The hotel has steps to climb, which can be troublesome if you have bad legs and feet, but it is no problem for young people. The price/performance ratio is very good. The rooms are small, and some have sea views. The disadvantage is that the dog barks behind the room, and you go out to beat the dog in the middle of the night. It is worth mentioning that I was diving at the Redang Dive Shop. This dive shop is very close to Redang and can be reached in just one minute. Diving is very convenient. However, the Jasmine Hotel opened by their dive shop is super far away. Food and water in the room are very expensive. It is recommended to buy them in the store downstairs.

The hotel is in the alley at the foot of the mountain. The entrance is a relatively large open-air swimming pool. The water in the pool is very clean. Our room is on the second floor with a balcony. Although the room is not big, it feels very warm. The bed in the room is very soft and comfortable, and the air conditioner is very quiet and not very noisy. The shower has hot water but the water volume is not very large. The hotel can call horse* chicken to the room, you can also order, and also provide simple kitchenware to use in the lobby. We stayed for a long time, tired of the island's Western food, Filipino food, Korean food, cooked noodles and occasionally ate it. Overall, the hotel is moderately priced and the price is relatively high. The waiter was very polite, the room was cleaned in detail, and the drink juice accidentally splashed in the corner of the wall was cleaned. Unlike some hotels, the surface is cleaned.

They have the best staff we've ever met in Puerto Galera, special mention to Jane and Steph, they are very accommodating, entertaining, and well conversant with english. The food was amazing especially the Juevos Raancheros and Machaca Chicken and egg. Definitely we will be back, because of the genuine care and attention of the staff which I think that is really lacking even in some 5 star hospitality institutions we have visited in the past. Well done badladz!

The hotel is beautiful, the location is very remote, suitable for the elderly, hahahahahaha, go out to the sea, and, at night, you can see the stars, the best is to see the meteor, really beautiful, although quiet and remote, but Still have a lot of foreigners to choose from, very beautiful

Booked two rooms for our stay. We have total of 6 adults and 1 child. Room #7 is adequate for my family. Room #2 got the big bed (king size), this one is different, the sink is outside the comfort room. (this is funny). The cleaners are very nice and polite including the reception. I woke up in the middle of the night around 2:30 am because of a man on the phone just in front of the balcony. So yeah, messes my sleep for sure. In the morning, i dont wake up because of my alarm, it is because of noises coming from outside even with that glass enclosure MAN! You can hear them. They love to talk loud in front of the porch. These are locals. They like the shade in front of the rooms. Couple of them talk loudly. And then when you go out to enjoy your coffee then they start to bother you. You need boat? Island hopping and on and on.. my God! The hotel have generator which is a good thing because ”Ursula typhoon” was in Mindoro last week. Wifi is not strong enough. When the signal on the TV is out, wifi is out too. I only have the chance to connect on and off to wifi from 23-24 of Dec. then from 25-26 no WIFI. So if you're looking for a reliable wifi, maybe this hotel is not for you or bring your own. Even we are at the front beach i dont think that the beach is clean enough. So No! we didn't go swimming.

The front desk is on the third floor of the same building as the erotic gogo near the main story of Sabang Beach. There is a 7/11 for shopping and a laundry shop about a 5-minute walk away. If you drop it off in the morning, it will be ready by the evening. It costs 300 yen for a two-seater tricycle from the port, and 400 yen for a four-seater tricycle on the way back! The restaurant is currently closed. I bought groceries at 7/11 and ate in my room. Two bottles of water are provided free of charge every day, and you can get free water at the front desk, which was very helpful. There was a screen on the balcony. The soap doesn't lather well. It's a shame that there is no pool.
