Our son & his wife stayed here 3 years ago & enjoyed it so much that it was his ambition to return with his dad & me because he thought we’d love it. How well he knows us, we adored it.
It’s an adventure at first being picked up from the Main Street & being transported up the steep road to the hotel but once up there - WOW. Beautiful views of the mountains & sea.
Check in was easy. We had 2 adjacent rooms on the lowest level & these were clean, & basic but fine.
No fridge but we didn’t really need one as we could get cold water as required. Maybe a kettle & a couple of mugs could be available as I like an early morning warm drink.
We had breakfast & some lunches in the restaurant. The food was excellent & reasonably priced.
The swimming pool was clean & pleasant.
Of course a good hotel must rely on its staff who were all courteous, friendly & helpful. The driver was always available to take us to White Beach & quick to collect us on an evening. Thank you all.

Staff were friendly and attentive to our needs. Hotel is located at the top of a very steep hill but offers free shuttle service with a driver on call who can bring you to the beaches or the ports anytime from 7am to 10pm. Since the terrain is hilly, the buildings are built at multiple levels, and you need to go up and down many stairs (no elevators), so it's not recommended for PWD or the elderly. The deluxe rooms are large, and open out to a spacious balcony with a wonderful view of the mountains. It's very quiet and relaxing - a totally different vibe from the noise and crowds at White Beach. Resort is not on the beach front, but White Beach is a 5-minute drive, and Aninuan Beach is a short walk. What we liked is that given its "central" location and the free shuttle, we were able to explore all 3 main beaches - White Beach, Aninuan Beach and Talipanan Beach. They provide free pocket wifi, and free distilled water from a large dispenser, which are also much appreciated. The room is clean upon check-in, but they don't clean everyday (we stayed 3 nights and the room was never cleaned). It seems they only do it upon request. The mattress is of good quality, but the beddings are thin. They also need to replace the bath towels and sterilize them well. The pool is also clean but the jacuzzi was not working when we were there. The pool area has a small bar, but the pool itself is not lighted at night so we had to swim in the dark. The restaurant's food is good, but they need to improve the menu variety and food service was a bit slow (takes 30 mins. to an hour). We wanted to try their ATV at the Nature Park but the trails were unfortunately damaged by the recent typhoon. Resort amenities were basic but sufficient. This resort is a lot better than those located on the beach front which have similar price points but fewer amenities and less pleasant surroundings. Overall it was a good stay and worth the discounted price in Agoda.

Tribal hill mountain resorts is my Puerto Galera’s home. The owner of a hotel is from Britain, has been living in Puerto Galera for many years, knows everything about this area. The manager is Lea, who solves all issues and helps all the time, drivers Jessie and Jap are super operational guys who were ready to bring me / pick up before I was ready) The restaurant is an amazing place with a paradise view and delicious breakfasts. It’s not overpricy. The rooms are spacious, the view is amazing, the bath is so so) Sometimes there wasn’t hot water. The bed is perfect, king size. I read negative reviews about the lack of a hairdryer, a kettle and more ... I came up, asked, a minute and everything is there. You should just ask Lea) I’m not happy with the cigarette smell...when the neighbors smoked, the terrible smell was everywhere. The pool is quite clean and big. Filipino coffee on the terrace in the mountains, with roosters somewhere below, such a good morning) Thanks a lot! Hope I’ll back soon)
