The staff were very friendly. The food was good and had generous proportions. The location was ok. Nice view. The rooms were basic but ok. If you were just at a 5* this might seem rough, but the rooms were clean and the beds comfortable. It seemed safe.
I travelled by my motorbike and stayed alone at the hotel - I can not describe the way I was served; the smiles of the lovely Filipino couple, that take care of the place (owners were not present) and their kids; the care they showed to tell me where to go around; the breakfast I had facing the sunrise... they even covered my motorbike with a towel to protect it from the morning dew.
The hotel is situated at the sea shore, but do not expect to find a beach there. However several kilometers away one can find any type of beach he/she likes.
For me personally it does not matter as beaches here, in the Philippines are just everywhere - it was about the human touch and the place...
Thank you for your kind words. Please consider Olana as your home away from home. Come back soon!
Olana is much more than a B&B, this is a small family owned hotel with all the services you need for a perfect week end stay.
Arrived from Manila after midnight, still we were welcomed by the managers and the owner. And that is typically for the service here at Olana, they will do their very best to make your stay as good as possible.
We also had our dinners at Olana, fantastic seafood Italian style prepared by the owner.
In addition the ocean view is amazing, the rooms are nice and clean, internet is working well. When coming back to this area we will definitely choose Olana for our stay.
Thank you Sir Harald for your kind review, and for staying with us. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and we are all looking forward to having you again soon.
A place away from Home❤️It’s an amazing place where you can unwind and be surrounded with beautiful nature. Lovely owner too😍 We’ll surely come back to this beautiful resort! I highly recommend if you want a peaceful and privacy.
Thank you Ms Jen your for your kind review and for staying with us. All of us from Olana are happy that you enjoyed your stay and we are looking forward to having you again soon! Take care!
The couple were nice, plus the breakfast is great (i specifically loved the fruits, we were served watermelons and dragonfruit). Just a bit disappointed when Ms. Angie’s husband asked her if we already paid our balance which is just 200 pesos (for my niece’s breakfast) i think. I think he tried to whisper but i already heard it, don’t get me wrong i don’t mind paying but if you’re gonna let your guests hear it then the disappointment will really be inevitable. Also we went out to explore the place, when we came back, we rang the doorbell, we texted and called Angie, but we waited for several minutes before the gate was opened. Maybe our timing was really bad since the helpers were on leave at that time.. Nonetheless couple were nice, they recommended a place where we can eat and they were right, food was great plus the view makes it more relaxing. Not that bad for a b&b but if i can choose, i will stay in a boutique hotel rather.
Thank you, Rosalie for your candid review. It seems that you made reference to the previous owners of Olana. Please note that there was a change of ownership in December 2017 and that there is a new management since March 2018. We encourage you to come to see us again this year as we strive to improve our service and provide to our guests a very enjoyable experience.
We hope to see you soon!
