Birthday dinner spoilt by loud band.

Review of Lago de Oro
3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Apr 11, 2023
Lago de Oro is the best resort in Calatagan where I live and so we go to their restaurant for special celebrations. On this occasion, we were celebrating my partner's birthday but it was impossible to enjoy the dinner because a band was playing so loudly that we couldn't here each other across the table! Some background music can be very pleasant and the music played between the bands session was at a much more reasonable volume. Why is it that many venues think I want to be assaulted by loud music whilst I'm eating?
The t-bone steak my partner had was very good but my chicken curry was poor. Overall average value for money.

I got the VIP suite which is located at the back part of the resort.
The rooms are really nice and clean. There are housekeeping staff constantly cleaning the hallways all day. They are very courteous and kind too.
There were lots of mosquitoes, and I dunno where they are coming from. The wakeboarding areas are saltwater and definitely does not have stagnant water.

Bringing of food is not allowed, but the restaurant offers a wide variety of food. The asian dishes are hit and miss. However, their indian and mediterranean food are excellent. They also serve the best halo halo ever!!! The restaurant staff are very efficient. Serving of food and cleaning is fast. The breakfast may look expensive from the menu but the serving is really really big.

The beach front is a bit small though. It is swimmable during the mornings. In the afternoon, the tide is usually low and lots and lots of starfish, seasnails and hermit crabs can be seen.

Overalll I think this is a well managed resort because they can manage peak season very well. Everything about running this place from parking, checking in, housekeeping and serving meals runs smoothly in the busiest holiday.

Room tip: Bring mosquito repellant and sunblock. Visit the beach in the morning.

We were 32 persons (28 adults and 4 kids) for this great family reunion hosted by my sister who visited from Canada. Choosing Lago de Oro is the best decision we made because the place did not disappoint us. We booked 3 suites (Suites Prince Alain, Prince Albert, and Premier Family) and they're all on the same floor in their new building. The rooms are spotlessly clean, the toilet and bath huge and with sufficient hot water, we were all able to sleep soundly in our own assigned beds (nobody needed to sleep uncomfortably) because extra mattresses were provided, the bedsheet are crisp and clean, the towels are generous and the location perfect - all walking distance to the pool beach, restaurants and nearby wakeboarding area. The staff service are superb especially Ms Bea onsite operations, Kaye from reservations, F&B staff in the main restaurant, Housekeeping team and the wakeboard staff. The food very good but quite pricey - good for sharing though. No other restaurants nearby so no choice but dine in. Food if brought will have corkage fee - you are only allowed to bring light snacks. Overall, our stay was excellent! I hope service quality remains the same because we hope to come back again one day.

Room tip: Book their new building because the rooms are still spotlessly clean, smell good and the towels and bedsheets are still fresh and crisp.

Lago De Oro's location is convenient. It is accessible via Nasugbu and Batangas City-Lemery-Balayan (best option when its traffic in Tagaytay). All our stays so far are pleasant. The rooms are plain and old but still well-maintained. The room size is comfortable most especially for big groups.

Our family would often come here for breakfast & dinner coz they have the best and authentic Lebanese and Middle Eastern food! Sooo legit! All the staff are friendly and attentive most especially the waiters.

Room tip: Building 3 is very accesible to parking and best for PWD!
