Hotels in the Philippines

Virlys was a exceptional resort to stay. Owners are super nice and helpful. Views of the ocean and from the pool were awsome. Owners dogs were very friendly once they get to know you and playful. My gf was afraid at first since their big but warmed up to them fast. Breakfast and dinner were delicious and filling. Can't recommend this resort enough. Pure delight to stay here.

we loved absolutely everything

I travelled with several family members to Kalanggaman Island and found Bellavista as the closest and nicest place to stay. The front desk manager, Heaven, greeted us and took care of all of our needs during our stay. Mae, the housekeeping manager was also very nice and helpful. The 2 bedroom family suite with full kitchen and living room was excellent as was the king suite.

I rarely give a 10 rating to a place but this one is so outstanding that it deserves the highest. Unfortunately you won’t find another place like this for this value in the Philippines. The host are gracious and super attentive and the place feels like home. Stephan also organized a really nice island hopping for us.

“I had an incredible stay at Bamboo Beach Surf Resort! The beach cottages are a dream, just steps away from the surf, creating a soothing lullaby for a peaceful sleep. George and MJ, the owners, are not only fantastic hosts but genuinely warm and enjoyable people. I highly recommend the beach cottages for an unforgettable experience.

Friendly staff and delicious breakfast

Wonderful! We booked 1 night in this really cool beach bungalow and it was so good that we extended our stay for 3 days (and got a good discount). It was right on the beach and felt like we were on our very own desert island, waking up to the sound of the waves and taking a swim in the fantastically clear warm water before breakfast. We didn’t see any tourists at all on the beach, just some locals taking a walk and kids playing in the water, it was surreal after staying in Boracay with all the crowds and noise! The staff gave us snorkeling stuff for free and David the owner led us out to see the incredible variety of coral, which started just a short distance from the beach and though we saw many varieties of fish, it seems that there were many more before the pandemic, but the locals have decimated the stock as there was no work for them. But the starfish were prolific, we counted 10 different colors including some really bright blue ones, but be careful of the sea urchins, they’re only on the coral, so don’t swim over the coral at low tide. Ely took us for an island tour in this amazing 6 seater off road UTV, it could go anywhere and we took off road tracks to cliff jumps, deserted beaches and caves, this is a must, which you would never find if you hired motorcycles. Now the restaurant on this fantastic balcony (or you can eat at the beach bar). The food my god was soo good, Malou and the other staff were such good cooks, with both local and foreign dishes, don’t miss the yummy spicy spareribs, the stuffed baby squid, the curry, the adobo and of course the seafood; simply delicious! We wanted to stay longer and wished we had come here first and not bothered with Boracay, so sad to leave and will defiantly be back and skip the Boracay stay!

We really love Casa Basa, the design is absolutely stunning, modern and clean. The attention is particularly special all the time. They rented us the best moto in the Philippines, super new! The location was also ok to go by moto or tricycle to town. Highly recommended 😀 exceed our expectations, hopefully we can repeat!

I like the free transfers to and from the airport, and to and from town. I LOVE the cleanliness of the room, the heated toilet seat, the kitchen with complete tools and utensils, and especially the super helpful staff. They are very kind and accommodating, and very prompt with all our needs. The location was GREAT. It's just 3 mins away from the airport and it's like a compound of hotels and restaurants. Finding a place to eat is so easy with so many options. And if you're vegan or vegetarian, you have a lot of choices around the hotel. They serve only vegan and vegetarian breakfast in the hotel, btw. Our room (a loft) is very spacious. Beds are very comfortable. Housekeeping also cleans every day. All in all it was a great stay for our family.

the place is absolutely stunning and cozy

Staff are helpful and everything you possibly need, they have. They have scooters to rent, they can also arrange transportation from the port to the resort.
