Getting there: From Manila: sea: ferry Batangas – Romblon; air: Manila – Tablas Airport Tugdan (TBH), ferry San Augustin – Romblon. Regional Highway 305, Romblon – Sawand – Sablayan, 8.7km (1km hillside off the main road). Malay Airport (MPH) Caticlan or Kalibo (KLO) on Panay need at least 1 day for ferry & road transport.
The promising name got our attention and we visited the resort on a bike tour for evaluation without accomodation only. View over rice fields, entrance decoration, garden & swimming pool, façades, marble zoo & playground provide the impressive & inviting ambiance for a stay. The external shape & beauty have potential for 5 star rating. We liked to see a room for couples. We had cold drinks and a nice talk with the female manager under a sun umbrella at the pool. We were told, the growing resort currently gives accommodation for up to 300 guests in 26 rooms shared in dormitory style. Several halls make it an efficient location for effective conference, parties & ceremonies. Kitchen GF & stuff FF in a small house poolside. We were invited to make pictures. For mobility rental scooter or motorbike recommended. Poor WIFI Signal. Visitor’s fee to Resort 25P/P. This huge capacity resort was not a place for us.

So I had arrived on Romblon Island and 1st thing I did was to check-in. DPMR, as they called it, was a little more in land than I expected. Nonetheless, the place makes a great first impression, despite the fact that when I visited, some areas were under renovation. It's very charming and seemed sparkly to me. And so I got escorted to my room, a quaint standard that could accommodate 3. It had 1 queen bed and 1 single bed, cable TV, AC and a standard bathroom with hot and cold water. Overall, it was clean, ambient, and cozy even :) I had misunderstood bike rentals to be for bicycle rentals, and it was one of the reasons I chose this place. However, I soon found out that "bike rental" meant motorcycle rental. It was kind of a "'doh!" moment for me, but I think that the resort could clarify how they advertise this, other travelers could easily make the same mistake, I think. The sunset view kept me occupied as I found that I couldn't go exploring that afternoon. Tricycle rides would be difficult to come by as the night approached, advised the resort lady and I didn't know how to drive a motorcycle. She actually offered to drive me but I decided against it and just have some drinks and have a dip in the pool instead. And then... it rained :/ Last option was to stay in and enjoy the room. The TV set wasn't set up well, so my night in didn't go so smoothly at first. The resort staff was quick to fix it, to their credit. But on this part, the service would've been great if I had been in the loop with the serviceman, he didn't speak to me. The serviceman and front office lady talked among themselves, and I was, well... just there. They didn't tell me how long it would take, didn't apologize or give any assurances. They actually just left me there, and I figured the TV was fixed because the images started to show. It was raining again in the morning, I felt almost defeated since this was the last stop for my week long trip and I wanted it to count! Ms Joy has visited me over breakfast after I had inquired about the availability of an ATM in town. She'd made very helpful suggestions on how I could spend my day. I had taken my chances and went to the beach Ms Joy had recommended, Bon Bon beach, where there's a sandbar that leads to an island-mountain nearby. Thankfully the weather cleared up and I had enjoyed the beach to my liking :) I went back to the resort to check out before heading to explore the town. It was an easy check out and they had even given me a souvenir to remember Romblon by. After that, I was shuttled out to the nearest tricycle stop free of charge. To be fair I had only spent a night, and I would've liked to have experienced more of the facilities. They had karaoke, a bar, a spa (closed during my visit) and a charming swimming pool. Overall, I still think DPMR is a gem of a place though it needs a bit of polishing.

När vi under hösten 2016 bestämde oss för att besöka Romblon mailade jag vid ett flertal tillfällen Dream Paradise Mountain Resort. Bilderna på deras hemsida ser ju onekligen trevliga ut och jag ville därför förhöra mig om ett boende för ca en veckas boende under april 2017. Jag fick aldrig något svar på mina mail.
Vi hittade ett annat boende på Romblon och hade en fantastisk vecka på denna underbara ö. En av dagarna tog vi vår lilla motorcykel och satte kurs mot Dream Paradise Montain Resort för lunch. Redorten är mycket vackert belägen och anläggningen som sådan är spektakulär i alla sina färger och unika arkitektur. Därmed är det tyvärr slut på positiva omdömen. När vi klev in på den till synes folktomma redorten,som vi dock förstod inte var folktom för röster hördes från det som förmodligen var ett konferensrum, uppenbarade sig efter några minuter några personer som vi på goda grunder gissade tillhörde personalen.
Vi frågade om det fanns möjlighet att äta lunch. Vi fick svaret att en av dem skulle kontrollera detta. Efter en stund kom en annan från personalen och lämnade beskedet att; jo det var möjligt. Hon erbjöd oss att sitta ned vid ett av de bord som var granne med swimmingpoolen. Duken var smutsig och parasollet hängde på trekvart. Hon berättade att de inte hade så mycket att välja bland men att varsin nyfångad stekt fisk skulle nog kocken kunna tillaga. Under tiden vi väntade på maten frågade vi om det fanns WiFi. Svaret blev att det finns men att managern var i Manila och att det var bara han som kunde lösenordet. Under den fortsatta väntan på maten frågade vi om vi kunde få titta på något av rummen. Vi blev guidade upp till det som förmodligen finaste rummet (!) och fick ett erbjudande att om vi bestämde oss nu och flyttade in samma dag skulle priset bara vara 2000 PP/ natt och dessutom skulle vi omedelbart kunna få lösenordet till WiFI. Vår fisk kom efter ca 30 minuter. Den serverades på två tallrikar. De två portionerna var till storlek som knappt EN förrätt. Det gjorde inget för något torrare och mer smaklöst har vi aldrig tidigare och senare smakat i Filippinerna.
Det här var vår värsta resort-och restaurangupplevelse, inklusive service och bemötande, vi någonsin upplevt.
Så synd på en så vacker anläggning som borde ha alla möjligheter att locka många!
