I always tell my guys to stay here during our Tour together. Its the only upscale place in central Dumaguete. It's not cheap, but the men appreciate the quality. They give me a discount since i am a regular.
The hotel is at the Center of the city, near the very clean market and business district. Based on my observation, it has a small parking space upfront but the lobby is elegant and welcoming. The room has enough space for 2 people, it has a refrigerator, water heater, cable tv, A/C unit and hot/cold shower which worked perfectly. The roofdeck will give you a complete vista of the city. The food tastes good and it is a mere 10-minute ride from the airport and 5-minutes from the seaport. They offer tour services and is considerate to tourists’ needs as they really offer sound advice.
This is a 2 star to 3 star maximum hotel. Located minutes away from the pier (easy walk) and airport. A few blocks off the sea so you have access to several restaurants and bars but it is a budget hotel for sure. The rooms are small, not updated at all, poor quality shower and plumbing. However staff is good and the in house restaurant is good and not expensive.
The location so close the the boats means you can easily get an early start on a trek to the other islands. Located on a busy street, insist on the back rooms for some quiet.
this hotel is located along the main road in downtown duma. numerous dining places are literally within 500 meters; along with spas and shopping places. even the ocean. had my breakfasts here and food is okay. nice staff, fast internet. only downside was that i had to shower with cold water. okay for the price and i will stay again in this hotel when visiting this city.
I had this activity in Dumaguete and the secretariat chose to book us at Hotel Essencia. Though I’ve had many chances to visit Dunaguete, this is actually my first time to visit the place.
Check in was smooth. No problems.
As for the room, it is clean. Toilet is clean. Generally it’s ok. Although i find it dark. There is ample lighting and working with your laptop is ok but may be not that ok for reading and writing.
The location is very ideal. It’s near the “baywalk” and all the nicest restaurants.
As for the food, could be better but no complaints.
Amenities: they have an in house spa. But no fitness center or pool. Tours are also available.
Bottom line, I will definitely consider Essencia in my next visit to Dunaguete.
