The place is nice and relaxing but NO wifi in the rooms! At this day and age, wifi is life. Gone are the days when we read magazines or newspapers for relaxation. Everything is now in the internet! So, it's a bit surprising for a luxurious resort to have NO wifi. This is a major turn off. Another major turn off is the power of water in the shower. It is so weak that seems like only trickles. How can you enjoy showering with that?! So, the place is too pricey with this kind of quality. Hence, rated it POOR.
The food was really bad and the path going to the beach smells bad (baho ug canal). Their pools are not that nice. I expected the resort to be way nicer than cheaper hotels but I got disappointed. Not worth it.
The staff of Dakak were very nice. Unfortunately that didn't make up for how badly run the place is. The front desk staff gave me the wrong time and place for the breakfast upon check-in making me wander about the resort the next morning, half an hour too early. The safe in my room was broken. People from the frontdesk unsuccessfully tried to fix it for a long time. Apparently there was no spare safe. There were stray cats noisily begging for food while I was having breakfast. I had booked a diving trip to Aliguay Island an hour away by boat. When I went to the dive center at the appointed time, I was informed that the only boat capable of going to Aliquay Island was no longer available. Friends of the owner had used it. I would have to settle for diving near the resort.…
Best for gatherings, they all have packages which is affordable for our budget. I love the place it is beautiful, the staffs are so friendly and overall I will recommend it to others who are looking for a place for their ocassions, etc.
This is my third visit to Dakak with the last visit over 15 years ago. The place seems the same except for improvements: more cottages, additional pool, new location for the front desk, and additional food outlet and function room. The service has improved and the food in the menu is delicious! The downside, limited internet access (available only in the front desk). It would have been great if the shuttle service uses solar power instead of gas powered.
