The staff were very friendly and the accommodation was very clean. And the interior of the swimming pool and hotel was so pretty that I was so happy during the trip. It was an unforgettable trip where I was so thankful for the consideration of pregnant women The best employee is touched by your kindness, Carlos

Though quite far from the city, the place offers an expansive area with numerous pools, a beach and food options that are worth visiting. The staff are friendly and attentive to requests. The amenities are the highlight, with plenty of activities to keep kids and adults alike preoccupied during the entire stay. Overall, it was a great stay!

First off, you’re in a prison. You’re not permitted to leave the hotel after you check out - the security would stop you unless you’re given a “get out of jail pass” from the front-desk. No joke. Then there was an argument about getting a bottle of water at the front-desk - they were adamant the water can only be in the room - the debate went on for 5+ minutes before they were finally willing to give a bottle. More like a dormitory converted into budget motel. Experience was not positive to put it nicely. Breakfast was mediocre at best, the rooms were horrible (trying to be nice again), stains and dirty walls, toiletries were stained after being soaked in water, floors were full of shoe prints, sinks clog (takes a minute or two to clear out) and with the renovation going on and racks outside the balcony, I was worried of people climbing in. Not a resort destination, would not recommend to anyone and would probably not ever come back (actually not probably, more definitely). Look at the pictures.

I stayed for 1 month at the Tambuli Resort in Mactan Maribago with my wife but I will not return to this place because the Administration is unwelcoming and much too strict with the residents. We could not cancel our reservation because the rental was unfortunately prepaid. We were really disappointed because we didn't have access to the beach area or to the gym. Walks around the pool were also not allowed. In fact, if you want to have access to the amenities of Tambuli, you have to pay daily fees in addition to renting an apartment or hotel room. If you do not own a condominium, the head of administration does not consider you. The management is not open-minded and accommodating with the tenants, they will not help you if necessary even if you rent for a long stay. In addition, shops, restaurants or supermarkets are located very far away. We will never buy an apartment in this place because we cannot rent it to tenants or demanding guests. It's really a bad investment and it's definitely better to find another place to buy real estate.

Dear @Patglobetrotter, All of the guests of Tambuli Seaside Resort and Spa can access the pool, gym, pools and other resort facilities. I think you rented your unit thru Aibnb hence, not part of the resort. Moreover, aibnb is not allowed so, if f you can give us the name of the person you dealt with, then we can let him or her address your concerns. Thank you!

I stayed 3 nights in a one-bedroom-suite in building B. Check in was flawless and very welcoming. The suite itself looked good at first glance but showed several deficiencies during the stay: - hot water was missing on 2 days. Despite promise from front desk ("someone from engineering will fix it shortly"), nothing was fixed. - the room needs an in-depth cleaning: old stains / grease on several spots in the suite (bathroom tiles, kitchen countertops, balcony, sofa cushions) - living room TV lacks english programs (not even CNN was working), bedroom TV wasn't linked to any satellite etc. and was therefore useless. Pool area is nearly immaculate. Very nice and inviting! Lots of space, sufficient available sunbeds, nice beach. Restaurants serve a pretty good quality when it comes to food (not really "gourmet experience" as they proclaim, but definitely above average). My major complaint is the service: Plenty of staff available, but majority of them is obviously not properly trained for hospitality business. Lack of professionalism at all bars and in all restaurants. Example 1: during dinner at "Caverna" hot appetizer and hot main dish served together at the same time. Example 2: during lunch at "Hojas" the drinks were served after the main dish). Example 3: pool bar staff went around the pool area to take orders but always ignored guests at least at two of the four pools. I could add more... Big compliment to lovely Jules at Hojas: The only one who obviously knows how professional service should work :-) Overall: Nice resort (even with the ongoing renovation / building activities), excellent outdoor area - with room for improvement (as mentioned).

Richel Paquibot is a great chef, and the best Italian culinary expert, especial with pizza. She has served my wife and I for the past year, and it is always the best pizza. I have spoken to some who have frequently Italy and even a few Italians, and they have agreed with my wife and I--Richel makes the best pizza in the world--literally! For her expertise, she should be commended, promoted, and affirmed. We acknowledge now that she is the best pizza chef!

Firstly of all when we entered the resort, we obtained warn welcome from the doorman Carlo. The reception process went smoothly and efficent. After check-in Carlo brought us to our room with luggages. Most impressive point is the pool and the distance to beach!!! During 2-6pm the bar had Happy hour (buy one get one free beer and 50% cokctail) which is heaven for us~~~ However the breakfast was below average for a resort. The lack of selection.... Thank you for Carlo's service!!! Will def come back again.

The entrance was guarded with security personnel, so safety is not a problem. The staff were all very polite and helpful. The two restaurants served freat food also. We had lunch at the cafe and dinner at the fine dining restaurant. There are multiple large pools, and they provided dry towels and foam sticks. If you have kids, they will surely have a blast! We went to the beach and tried out canoeing (30 mins, included in our room rate), it was okay, but the water was somewhat murky and we didn't really see anything. Some people say the rooms were too basic, but I thought our room was very well-equipped. There was a washing machine, a kitchenette with basic pots and pans, utensils, and a large fridge. You could easily stay there for a couple days. Good resort for a laid-back vacation.

ROOMS : Spacious rooms with all the condo's amenities, but with very minimal furnishings and decor. Lacks a hotel vibe. FACILITIES: The pool and facilities at the hotel are fantastic. A leisure recreation area with a lavish lobby and a classy setting. The presence of dense trees protects the pools from the sun's heat. Pools have shallow areas that are kid-friendly. Beachfront is average. The staff is excellent in terms of appearance, courtesies, and support. DINING: There are only two restaurants that serve pricey food. You can order items delivered through Grab or Food Panda. The breakfast buffet is simple and features predominantly Filipino cuisine. PRICE: The cost during off-peak season is reasonable. Booking during peak season is not advised because it can be very expensive and not worth the money. VERDICT: GOOD This hotel makes up for its lack of luxurious rooms with excellent facilities and recreational spaces. The entire visit was made comfortable by the staff's vibrant appearance and courtesy. Too late check-in time taints the experience. It is good to open more restaurants with more reasonable prices and a shop selling necessities and . A directory map or plain signpost would be a great addition. This hotel will be very close to being the greatest if the rooms can be changed to appear more hotel-like. The extravagant amenities, lushly wooded pools, and experienced staff make up for the blandness of the rooms.
