My wife and I spent 2 nights at Star View Boutique Resort to just unwind and relax. The weather was not conducive to relaxing by the pool, but we enjoyed the very spacious room and amenities. We had massages and great food. The staff is wonderful and were friendly and helpful. The owner stopped by for a few minutes one morning at breakfast and we enjoyed a short chat. As stated, the rooms are very large with full closet, kitchen, and bathroom. Everything is of good quality, and we really enjoyed the meals. Thanks for a great stay!

My fourth short stay here. Huge suite overlooking the pool, very comfy, very quiet and peaceful, and the wifi is mostly OK. The food is delicious, staff are friendly and helpful, the pool is a good size and spotlessly clean, and the garden is full of birdsong and has shady areas. Any downsides? Mobile signal is weak in the area, and the espresso could be stronger. That's all. Overall a wonderful place to chill and recharge. It's not cheap but you get what you pay for. And they allow my small dog to stay with me (not sure if this applies to all dogs so ask first).

we had a lovely 3 night stay here over the Christmas period. The staff were so helpful and friendly with all our questions and advising us on excursions. With our party occupying 2 of only 4 (huge and beautiful) suites, the experience felt like we were staying in almost our own country house! Absolutely delicious food was cooked to order. Gorgeous pool too. The house is in a great location for visiting the twin lakes, and is about half an hour from Dumaguete by motorcycle rickshaw.

We stayed in this lovely little hotel for 3 nights in December last year. We liked it very much. The rooms are large and very well maintained. The staff is also very friendly and accommodating. I would spend a few days here again at any time.

Friendly personal service, easy booking, easy check in and off we go to a well appointed modern room and then a fantastic dinner of usda quality. All of the staff was well trained and eager to please, I think Michel (the owner who greets you) did a superb job of training in each department. I would highly recommend this hotel to all, but most especially to expats who would like the feel of home and modern conveniences.

Located in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do; given this location they overcharge the transfers both to the port and the airport.
"Restaurant" is also pretty bad with no healthy option - rooms have a kitchen if you are jn cooking mood though (but not sure where you buy the ingredients).
Not worth the price at all compared to other hotels in the area (especially Siquijor).

Response from VillaPedro_Mmgt, Inhaber at Star View Boutique Resort

Good day After your no-show of the first night (which we had to charge you according the cancellation policy and which is finally the source of this review) and the late arrival on the second day, unfortunatelly you had only a few hours to enjoy our hotel. Yes indeed, for such a short stay it's more suitable to book a hotel downtown Dumaguete next to the bars and nightlife. In our location we don't have this kind of activies. We are situated 20 min from downtown Dumaguete and our guests appreciate the silcence and nature during their stay. Our guests appreciate the location as it's in the center of various activities such as dolphin watching, waleshark, twinlakes etc. Aside our pick-up and drop-off service in local price, our guests like the possibility to access the nearby public transportations f.e. bus, tricycle, easyride etc to very affordable prices. All our main dishes are served with a complementary fresh mixed salade and mixed vegis as sideorder which we buy from the organic market. Various fresh and local fruits are integral part of our breakfast. And for those who like to eat very healthy, we even put a fresh fruit platter on the menu. At anytime our open kitchen gives our guests the possibility to see themselves how fresh and healthy we cook everyday.

Everything was wonderful! Where do I begin? We were greeted by their onsite shuttle service at the airport upon arriving and brought back to the resort. Upon entering the gated resort (With guard and trained dogs which made me feel very safe) we were greeted by Michel for check in. The fountains were flowing into the pool and it was beautiful and peaceful. We enjoyed a refreshing tropical drink while we sat with Michel and went over what we'd like to do while there. Michel was most helpful in our activity planning process and you can certainly get to where you need to go pretty easily from the resort. You can get around either by shuttle or a rentable onsite scooter. You can even pick up a bus at the end of the driveway.
Once we concluded check in, we got settled and changed to sit by the pool. We got Mojitos. Let me tell you, these are the best Mojito's I've ever had. They were delicious! Mary-Ann has created the perfect Mojito!
Throughout the week Mary-Ann and Michel were attentive and very helpful. They helped coordinate our activities and transportation. Mary-Ann was so generous when she realized we didn't have an underwater camera for our snorkel trip with us, she lent us hers. (that was certainly above and beyond and we no doubt appreciated it greatly!) Mary-Ann is also an excellent cook. Everything was fresh and prepared perfectly.
All in all, a wonderful trip and we hope to be back again! Michel and Mary-Ann were great hosts and made us feel very safe and welcome. They have thought of everything to make their guests stay extremely enjoyable.

We didn't actually stay here, but we had dinner in the lovely garden by the pool! The staff was amazing, while also taking care of a large group, they never forgot about us and they always make sure we were happy. The food was very tasty, never before did I have such a succulent chicken breast, even when cooking it myself! Very impressive! And yummy. Hubby had the chicken halang halang and loved it. The menu has tons of healthy options, and I'm sure the rest tastes incredible as well. It's not cheap, but price-quality was very balanced in our opinion. And when it was time for us to go home, the staff made sure we got there safely! Thanks guys, you rock! ❤️

We stayed in Villa Pedro for only one night. Great place just outside Dumaguete. Our room was really very comfortabel with at least 75 m2. Please be advised to take the rooms with the wonderful view at the ocean. The staff is very helpful and kind. In my opinion the best hotel nearby Sibulan /DGTE.
