we had - up until checking out - a good experience here. however, whilst checking out, the property couldnt get their card reader to work, which apparently necessitated a visit from the very obnoxious owner. due to his own property shortcomings, he felt it necessary to harangue me in the reception area over a bill of less than 6 euro. frankly, having worked in hospitality for over 20 years, i found his tone to be off, to say the least. I wont be back.
I loved the friendly staff. They were very helpful with every request! Breakfast is super quality and the service is fast! View from the pool area is hard to beat. You need a moto or car to get to places. We will come again!
People weren't very accommodating and didn't have the initiative to help the guest. We went there and book a room with the intention of just having a place to shower, dress and have short naps. Check in was 2 pm which was very much understandable and I presume that check out would be earlier than that otherwise they will have to take time to clean and etc. There were other rooms that were clean and done and no other guest arrive yet. We kept asking if our room was done, or the update of the room. They gave us the excuse that the previous guest checkout late thus the late room availability. I don't think we have to pay for the previous guest who decided to check out late. they could have handled the situation better by 1. updating us more, 2. maybe upgrading us, 3. placing us in the room that was ready. but what happen was we had to be the one who have to follow up and ask if the room was ready. Would have appreciated it if they updated us more and be more accommodating. So over all that was very disappointing sunday. Maybe they could have a better person to handle situation like that.…
We enjoyed above all the hospitality of the total crew to make our stay fabulous. Our room had a splendid view and the kitchen is excellent, but again: the hotel personnel made the difference, going the extra mile for every request with a big smile. We certainly come back. Johan, Belgium
I stayed in this resort with my co-workers for a few days. The room we were assigned to was so far from the conference room. We had to walk quite far distance back and forth. Other than the that, everything was fine. The food was great!
This small resort is situated on the beach front about 45 mins drive from the airport. The room and bathroom are a good size but the furnishings and fixtures in the bedroom and bathroom are well over due for a change and certainly not reflective of the price charged for the room. The mini bar for example does not cool anything inside it. Apart from that, the small resort is very cosy and un-intrusive which helps the "get away from it all" feeling. The restaurant provide good quality homestyle cooking fare and is good value. The beverages are reasonably priced as well. This becomes important because there is precious little in the way of eating or dining venues close by. Rental motorbikes are available at the resort itself There is a decent sized pool and wifi is adequate. The is an on site diving shop. Suggest taking the hotel airport transfer service at 600PHP for 3 or less passengers and 900PHP for 6 or less passengers each way. The reception is not a 24 hour operation so the main entrance is shut after 10pm but can be accessed through a side gate which I had to hunt for in the dark as this information was not made known during check in.…
The hotel itself is set on nice grounds with a beautiful view of the water and Apo Island. The rooms are a good size and we had the sea view. The little extra charges are everywhere though. The ‘gym’ is 200 pesos per person per hour....the moped rental didn’t include helmets so they were another 30 pesos each which we were never told about until after we returned the moped. The resort also strictly enforced any outside food or beverage including a corkage fee of 40 pesos for each bottle of beer and 2000 pesos for a bottle of whisky. This is our first and last time visiting as there are better resorts in Dauin for a better price.
I checked into the Sea Dream Resort, March 23 together with some members of my family. I was not expecting much as I've never heard of it until a few hours before we checked in. In fact, I was apprehensive that it would be a dump like so many resorts I've been to in the past. I was wrong, It became evident when we drop through the gate - it has a covered parking lot. It was not involved in the check-in routine but I got another jolt when I got into my rooms - it is very large, clean and every amenity for a comfortable stay was in their rightful place. Whatever was lucking like electric kettle and cup and teaspoon were immediately provide. I like their pool which is long enough for a lap swim, not just for immersion. The leisure area beside the pool is perfect for family bonding. And the restaurant is large to accommodate a huge crowd. The staff is small but efficient. If you want to have a perfect holiday which is well within your budget, consider Sea Dream. You won't regret it.…
Stay 3 Nights (Fri 25 – Mon 28) Room Type: Standard (UPGRADED TO LOWER GROUND SEA VIEW) We visited the resort on our honeymoon, and were greeted with welcome drinks and a pleasant surprise of an upgraded room. The room was nicely made up, with towel art and flowers. The staff were all pleasant, and we were invited to a party that the owner threw in celebration of his team and his wife’s birthday. It was lovely to see the team spirit and interaction between them all. There is one restaurant on site, with a great menu and wide selection for all meals. You can also order poolside snacks and drinks by the loungers. We were disappointed that there was no hot water available in our room, as the hot tap in the shower, and the sink ran cool/lukewarm at best. While I appreciate that the climate is hot most of the year, not everyone will prefer a cool shower, and guests ought to be given the option to have a hot shower. As noted by other guests, there are no phones to call reception in the rooms, so if you have a query you have to go back out to the main desk. The pool and grounds were well kept during our stay, and although there is no direct access to the beach/sea, there are lovely views available. …
It seems to be a privately run establishment. Cleaning is under par. We had to have shower heads replaced in several rooms due to mold. Toilet : bathroom had hair in the sink after being cleaned. Rooms are fairly well sized and has a nice view. Rooms do not have phones so it’s hard to call room service as you need to leave the room to get service. Beach has lots of stone and isn’t cleaned. Lots of plastic and trash outside. Food, breakfast / lunch / dinner is not worth mentioning. We did had a tenderloin steak which was okay but salads no good, fries very oily, squid no taste. For breakfast omelet was dry and peppery. Bread tasted stale and chewy, coffee quite weak as well and no free house water. The pool however is good for kids. All in all been there done that, not coming back. …
