Ξενοδοχεία με St. Joseph Chapel, San Francisco

It was a good stay. The place is okay. It is very difficult to access the internet though. It's a peaceful place to stay. We do love the paddle boat for 50php/head for 30 mins. I find it cheap. We just didn't enjoy the food so much.

My wife's family is from Camotes Island where this hotel is located. They went to the hotel for a day to take advantage of the swimming pool. They loved it and said the staff was super nice. We plan on staying there ourselves the next time we visit the Philippines. Can't wait!

Its a wonderfull and private place to stay. Liezel and her family make you feel at home for sure. Their space was meant to be a school but luckilly, got a new purpose. Big rooms with a personal feel to it. The big bright main room breathes a relaxing air. And you will feel right away at home and relaxed in this amazing place. Its also a safe place for your children. I have 3 and they really got well along with Liezel's daughters, who are two sunshines and very open and kind. They even kept a watchfull eye on our baby. I'll be safe to leave this place, but I will come back in the future for sure . . .

So pleased we chose to stay at High Steps Pension instead of a down town hotel. No hustle and bustle or air pollution here. Just a fabulous view, a cool breeze from the sea and the scent of flowers. The pictures say it all. Our room with ensuite also had a fully equipped kitchen and everywhere was spotlessly clean. Simply a hidden gem. Will definitely stay again.

They are under staffed. Food is great but we waited a long time to be served. Stairs are not elderly friendly

First of all, the bedding is very clean. However, because it is in the mountains and the outside of the door is outside, bugs and spiders do come into the room. The back sea was very pretty, but it was scary because there was a water snake. The pros are that it's clean, the pool is empty, and the sea view from the pool is amazing. The downside is that the road to the accommodation is unpaved, so it's difficult to get to the sewer, and the water pressure is weak...

So many errors with this hotel. First: The name is a sham! There is no beach at all connected to the hotel. To be honest there are no beaches nearby at all. They do have a maybe 50 meter connection to the sea squeezed in between two big concrete walls, but that should be more considered as a torned down harbour with a rocky coastline if anything. Often with lot of garbage floating close to shore. Secondly: The hotel tries to make money out of external events hiring their grounds, which happens to be all of the common areas left outside your own room like the pool area. We stayed there for eight nights (15-23/5 2022) and from 8am to 11pm there were about two to four events every day making noice and playing loud music constantly. Often at the same time. In a very limited area there could be a private birthday party playing live music, a private student celebration with a DJ and by ”the beach” a private fitness event playing loud bass music - all at the same time. So to try to relax was impossible. When that stopped around 11pm it was almost a relief just to hear the constant noice from the heavily trafficked road right outside the reception. Talk about reception, the third problem: Their wifi sucks big time! We were there working and it was impossible to do our jobs properly using the room wifi that was crashing most of the time. I know that the Philippines are not Europe, but since the wifi in the reception was always working, it depends more on poor equipment than the bandwidth. Maybe they could use some of the event money they earn and put in new equipment? Lastly: The service in the restaurant is terrible. To get food under an hour even if it is almost empty is impossible. And to get everyone served at the table at the same time never happened. But that seems to be a general Philippino thing. The room cleaning has also more to wish for. It is hard sometimes too se if they even has done anything more than just make the bed. But at least they filled up the toothbrushes. I think I had four untouched at the end... If they would put that efficacy in all they did, it would not make up for the constant sound pollution and the false name, but at least skip some irritation. With all this said, if you like to live in the middle of an amusement park - this is the place!
