You need to arrive abour 11 to 11:30am to avoid waiting for a long check in process. We had to wait wait 30 minutes to be given a room.
The bidet in the toilet was too strong that it hurt your skin. We tried to close it but the lever did not work.
The toilet also smelled bad when we arrived until we left.
Our room was far from the beach but we appreciated the exercise.
It took us 20 to 30 minutes to be seated during breakfast. There was a long waiting line during breakfast which irritated many guests. Management should have at least prioritized seating for senior citizens. When we got seated at breakfast, we shared a ten seater table with another couple, which was okay, if privacy is not an issue for you.
We had to eat at the nearest fast food during dinner which was about 15 minutes ride away due to pricey menu in Canyon and long cooking time. (We waited for more than an hour during our past visit for our food. Restaurant cooking and service was slow.)
Check out took less time because we checked out early.
We were given room 504. The room was big for a couple. It was relaxing to stay in that room except that there are a few things that management should attend to. The sliding glass door to the balcony was jammed. The bathtub is already rusting. The bidet holder needs replacement. The television set needs replacement too.
All of the above were compensated by their hardworking, friendly Ang helpful staff. They have a nice and clean pool. The beach was also clean. It was fun just sitting in the Cabana.
Breakfast was superb. I love their Champorado, Corned Beef, Pancakes and Tinapang Galunggong.
Lunch or Dinner was P 550/person (less 20% for senior citizens) but food was not to my liking.
We had our New Year's Eve dinner at the penthouse. It was P 1000/person ( less senior citizen discount). They served Spaghetti, Salmon, Pork Knuckles, Pork Wellington and a few others which I don't eat.
They have this Gala Dinner at P 1750/person which we didn't join. They have this live band and fire dance. They also have fireworks at exactly 12 am. We just went down from our room at about 11:55 PM just to watch the fireworks.
Overall, Canyon Cove, although showing its age, is still a place to stay and enjoy the sea breeze.
Upon arrival to room, only 1 king bed and a cushion/“day bed” about 5 feet (too short for an adult). Called front desk who advised apparently only subject to availability (not previously mentioned). Supposed to fit 4 pax in a king. Or have maybe 1 dangle legs out in a short bed. Front desk was not accommodating upon check in and we were too tired to argue at this point.
We had a group with us who had checked in but had not requested for a double and so it should have been possible to have a double bed room available if the hotel had arranged properly.
The day bed had a number of insects on it (only one pictured after we killed). Some were accidentally squeezed onto the bedding we were to sleep on.
We had to ask for additional pillows and blankets and hotel supplies like water and tooth brush for the 2 pax who were with us (booking was for 4 pax so we shouldn’t have had to ask, especially having taken the extra step to email them).
The room is basic, no WiFi, bad tv reception. If you just need a basic place to stay and don’t mind insects or are not particular about hospitality or arrangements, it should do. If after a more relaxing stay, you may want to consider other resorts in the area like pico de loro or Hamilo.
Pool and beach are nice, but not even close worth to what they charge for a room. I've stayed in php750 a night beachfront cabins that were cleaner and the staff at least acted like they were happy you were staying with them. Problems like this can only be fixed by starting at the top, a complete change of management that can motivate or replace the staff. If I was offered a free stay at this establishment I would not accept it, I will never stay anywhere associated with Canyon Cove hotel and spa and you couldn't pay me to recommend it to another living sole.
The hotel also have a policy for no outside food and we asked one night could we order take in for the children as there was no food for them and they basically said no! The little tuc shop in the hotel was overpriced and they were charging over 4 times the price of a bottle of water in the shop. No entertainment at night time for kids and the fire show was nearly every night and we weren’t even allowed to watch from the pool deck. The bar was empty every night but they blasting the air conditioning so we always froze to death. I asked at reception about a spa option and I wanted to book but I was told to ring the spa and it was fully booked. I would certainly not recommend this resort.
Cons:
I’d give the food 0/5, just awful, breakfast and dinner were buffet, but the food was freezing and left in the open for hours.. struggled to eat anything except bread and fruit for 4days, which was not helped by the fact that the hotel would not allow any outside food Or drink to be brought in..this was extremely problematic for our group as we had children with us.. there was pizza and fries advertised in the restaurant but every time we asked we were told they weren’t available.. there were bar snacks advertised but when we asked to order the staff made up different excuses to not allow us to order.. also water in the shop was extremely overpriced, almost 4 times the price of the nearest supermarket..
Rooms were outdated, shower was cold 1st 2 nights, iron was held together with masking tape, wires exposed on hairdryer, empty bottle of brandy found under bed, and a pair of sandals in the wardrobe..
Location is awful, almost a 3 hour drive from Manila, 10min drive on a taxi scooter to local town, which has nothing but a couple of fast food chains and a supermarket..
Also the price was extremely expensive, we managed to stay 8 nights in Bali for less than the 4 nights we stayed in canyon cove..
can safely say I would never go back, Really spoiled the 1st week of our holiday. Left us with a really bad experience of the Philippines and cost us a lot of money.
We got to our rooms, it's complete opposite of what I was expecting. Paints peeling, light globes flickering; weak, leaky and noisy aircon. Then we found out water is pooling on half the bathroom floor, they can't do anything, no other rooms available so we had to step on wet bath mats everytime we have to use the bathroom. TV reception is very poor, cups and glasses were not washed properly.
Their swimming pool is massive, but not maintained properly, you can't even see the steps through the water as it is so murky, and if you look closely on the edge of pool, there is algae patches everywhere. Missing and broken tiles are not fixed, my son cut his toe on one of the broken tiles. There are plenty of rubbish on the beach and on the water, I understand most of these is from the ocean coming in but you'd think they have a staff to deal with these to make the guest's experience more enjoyable.
As someone has mentioned, outside food and alcohol are not permitted to he brought in but wow, they charge like a wounded bull. I paid P185 for a can of San Mig Light +10% service charge, just not worth it.
All in all, I was displeased with our stay here. I will never return and will never recommend this place. I have stayed in nicer hotels with better facilities that are way cheaper than Canyon Cove. I'll be embarrassed if I was a part of management of this hotel. Maybe it was nice when new but now it's definitely run down and need a lot of upgrade to attract more guests. Words of wisdom: STAY AWAY!
