First time in the Phillipines but what a way to view it from here. Spectacular view from the balconies & Alf the owner was charming, friendly & very accomodating as well as the girls who worked there. He even picked us up from the pier & dropped us down after we finished our stay, which was great. Perfect spot if you are into diving which Alf was more than willing to share his vast experience of diving with you as well as organising diving expeditions & his Roman Bath.But as myself & the fiance were on a romantic trip we availed of the wide selection of restaraunts in Sabang & further on to La Laguna which is worth making the journey to for better beaches. Need a moped to get up & down the hill unless you are fairly fit & can take the Hill or the '100 steps' but at least it was quiet & serene here away from the traffic noise of the town. Would have giving a 5 star but for no hot water & the toilet had problems but overall this is a fantastic place for its unbelievable scenery & hospitality.

Hi Glen!

Great that you had a good time.

The hill will always be same 70 meters above sea level so
invest 25 pesos for a ride can be a good thing if you do not like walking.

Sad you did not let me know your troubles in CR so we could have done something
about that.

Take care and good luck with your romance.

    I had never travel to the Philippines before this and only stayed a few place in my travel while on this trip. I found Dream Hill to be overall very pleasing and clean. Dream Hill Condos is located on top of the hill away from all of the noise of the town area and beaches but only a 5-10 min walk which make it feel very private like you’re on your own island. The view is awesome since it overlooks the island just this is worth any price. The staff and owner make you feel like your family and want to help you all time. They provide scuba diving if that your thing and much more but they have a Roman type SPA what a hidden treasure and this experience is like nothing you ever had before guarantee. I would recommend this place to anyone traveling or staying in Puerto Galera it’s a hidden treasure.

    Room tip: There is not a bad room in the place you can stay on the main level 1st fl or 2nd both which have great views.

    what can i say? I was treated by a wonderful staff to a stay on the best location in town.
    Incredible view from balcony into sabang. Very spacious and clean rooms. Highly recommended
    after staying at different other locations. Far and above best deal in Sabang.

    Alf and his crew did a wonderful job ensuring that my family had a good time. The view overlooking Sabang was the best and we were close enough to walk down hill into town and use an inexpensive motorbike ride to get back up again. The room was spacious and clean with kitchen facilities. The spa experience is wonderful, Alf was waiting for us when the boat arrived and he ensured everything ran well for the rest of our stay. Scuba diving and sailing are just some of the fun optional activities that can be arranged.

    Room tip: Speak to Alf to discuss what you needs.

    Hi Bill

    That was a great time with you and your family.
    Wow we did a lot of fun things.

    For me taking you out sailing was maybe the one I remember more
    then the rest, as I do not go sailing so much any more.

    Looking forward to see you all again.

    My girlfriend and I got there at about ten in the morning, and there was Alf waiting for us.
    Like everyone else says the view is beautiful. The first alf asked was if I knew how to ride a
    motorcycle and yes I do , so we rented a larger MC and explored all afrternoon..
    The room was large ,very clean and well worth the money, Alf and his family treated us like we were family.
    If you plan on going to Puerto Galera definitely stay here, and learn how to ride a motorcycle
    before coming here. If you are coming here I strongly recommend a small underwater camera for
    snorkeling pics and playing on the beach, the barbeque and picnic was a lot of fun

    There were several choices in Puerto Galera, but we booked with dream hills condo because of the rave reviews that the owner received on the scuba diving lessons he provides to the guest. After booking it, I then called the owner, Alf, 2 months before we arrived to advice of our stay & the desire for scuba diving lessons. I then told him that we wanted to change the # of people from 4 people to 6 & was to pay the additional people when we get there. He then said that the only room that would accommodate us comfortably would be the big suit @ 861 sq foot because the 2 bedroom condo was only 699 sq feet & will be too small. We were all very excited as it seems to be a good size accommodation. When we got to Batangas, I called Alf, the owner & he then advised me that he wasn't in the island & was in Manila, needless to say, the disappointment starts. The 861 sq foot suite was on a steep decline that it was hard to get to & with my bad back had to settle on the 699 sq ft suite. I understand paying for the additional people had I stayed on the bigger suite (861 sq ft) cause it's more comfortable but since we downsized & space was cramp for 6 people, I didn't think I’d be expected to pay for the additional people to the tune of Php 500.00 per person per night - additioinal PHP 2000.00 for our stay on a smaller unit. Though the views were gorgeous getting to town was very hard as it’s only though motorcycles or going down some slippery steps. Had to do that several times to eat & we did get scuba diving lessons in the town proper.
    The only saving grace on this stay was that the 2 ladies made our stay very comfortable, i gave it 1 star becasue of the 2 ladies otherwise would have been 0. Personally, would NOT recommend dream hills condo.

    Room tip: Would suggest staying closer to town, all the food, activities are there.

    Hi
    Sad to understand that you were not happy.

    Informing us is a very much recommended and much of this would have been different.
    Scuba diving is why I decided to stay here and a I would have waited here and taken you diving if that was Informed to me in your reservation request. I simply did not know and made other plans.
    We recommend our guest to reserve correct number of guest so rates will be clear and agreed in advance. Coming with more guests then reserved results in a 500peso/person extra charge per night and angry guests.
    It happened to you and as well the other upset guest writing a negative review.
    Reserving an apartment on the hill is not recommended for persons with health problems and I would have advised against your stay here if you asked me.
    It was your decision to change apartment to a smaller one with 2 bedrooms but with a better view over Sabang.
    We did our best to help out but apparently it was not enough.

    Recommendation for future guests:
    Please inform yourself and us in advance so we have time to prepare rooms, scuba diving, SPA or other requests that you may have including arrangements for birthdays, weddings…..

    Kind regards
    Alf
