Dolarog Beach Resort

Ad essere onesti, la famiglia non ha altro che uno splendido scenario. Lo scenario è molto, molto bello. Non ci sono turisti sulla spiaggia di questo hotel, quindi è molto tranquilla e riservata. La posizione è lontana e il trasporto è scomodo. È adatto se vuoi semplicemente rilassarti. Ma se vuoi fare snorkeling come facciamo noi, sarebbe più problematico andare in città per mangiare o qualcosa del genere. Il servizio è assolutamente terribile. Hanno un atteggiamento gentile ma non riescono davvero a capire le persone. È piuttosto scioccante. Per il resto è abbastanza buono. Se vai in vacanza e sei di buon umore, non preoccuparti ahahahah

很令人放鬆的地方

Poor management of staff and facilities is why I rated the resort a fail. Shabby, dirty, worn out furniture, non functioning rusty game room for example. We stayed 10 nights with the swimming pool only usable for two of those days. The sea water flushing pump is totally inadequate. It takes two days to drain and another four days to refill with cloudy sea water and the cycle is repeated. Also there is real danger of falling coconuts with or without wind.

The cottages are lovely and clean located near the beach. You can totally relax away from el nido and still go for dinner at a nice restaurant just by walking along the beach (takes around 20-30 min to walk to vanilla beach and have to consider the tide!). The breakfast was good, but otherwise we wouldn't recommend eating there - we tried the new year's eve dinner which was overpriced and a normal dinner when we got cold meat and seafood in a vegetarian dish! Also the food didn't come at the same time, so you couldn'r really enjoy eating with your partner. We booked through agoda and they didn't answer any of our emails or calls. The day of our arrival we finally got someone who answered the phone and organised a private transfer from puerto princesa ( around 6500 pesos). They also have a free ride by golf cart from mcdonalds/ vanilla beach to the resort. If you want to go to el nido a tricylce from mcdonals costs 150pesos.

Dolarog, a true pet-friendly resort! The resort in itself is superb! It’s like a hidden gem of El Nido and the greatest thing about it is it’s truly a pet-friendly haven! What I like about it is that it’s still in the main island but gives off that exclusive feels. We stayed for 8 days in total at the beachfront villa called Lagen which is a few meters from the beach overlooking their jetti way and that awe-inspiring giant limestone directly in front of our villa. Getting to the resort is other via speedboat or their private access road from Vanilla Beach using a golf car. You know that you’ll have an excellent stay when the owner, Mr. Edu picks you up(or sometimes the son) from Vanilla beach for a more personal touch. How hospitable right? He also has a selection of Italian wines from his cellar as he is Italian, I had Chianti btw over dinner with the beach, stars and the moon as our backdrop. Truly magical! The rooms are always kept clean by the staff who are also very friendly. The main Receptionist, Tata is attentive and very pleasant not to mention very informative. I would take her as my head of staff if only I could! She knows her products and knows when to recommend it, the type of staff who is not in your face all the time to promote an offer. I must say she is one of the nicest resort staff I ever come across with. Food is relatively good. Home cooked and unpretentious. As with any advice when you go to a limited supply area such as El Nido, don’t get your expectations too high on having a western dish so much because obviously, you will have some issues so I only ordered I know locally sourced here like seafood or their filipino dishes like the menudo and chicken curry which are my faves! Filipino breakfast is good. You might wanna carry spare powerbanks as the resort rely on their own generator for electric supply. From 6am-9am and 12noon-6pm there is no electric power. Also, TV is not available (not sure abt other rooms though) but who needs a TV anyway? It’s not like you chose to go to El Nido and sit all day on Netflix and stay indoors duh! I rented a motorbike for 500/day basis and this really helped me in exploring or going out of the resort but the resort offers complimentary shuttle via their golf car to Vanilla beach for free but I wanted to leave and come back on my own time. This is also a 20 minutes walk to Maremegmeg beach by beachside access. Tricycle ride cost between 150 going to town from Vanilla beach btw. Overall our experience is a great 4.5/5 with .5 leaving for improvement on the land access before the Dolarog gate. Also, I’m pretty confident even without any advertisement or active social media promotion, the resort will do just good but let me tell when I posted 1 picture of Dolarog on my socmed, people flocked my DM to ask if I was in another country. This is how beautiful the resort is but I hope that with how Millennials pick up on their next destination is mostly through social media, the resort pu

Creo que, para llamarse "Resort", le falta bastante recorrido. Las vistas son espectaculares, y creo que solo por eso le doy las estrellas que le asigno. Está muy lejos de todo; hay un servicio de carro de golf que te acerca al McDonald's, pero el camino es de ripio muy deteriorado, ¡así que agárrate fuerte! La habitación que aparece en las imágenes de reserva no corresponde con la que te entregan; luego, al revisar otras reseñas, noté que es un problema común. Esto hace que uno deba reclamar y pagar por un cambio. Ofrecen una sala de juegos que está desmantelada, con los juegos rotos o incompletos. La piscina tiene agua de mar, lo cual me parece una buena idea, pero no está bien mantenida (tenía una espuma marrón estancada en la parte baja). Las habitaciones son muy básicas y no cuentan con lo que uno espera en un resort, como frigobar, hervidor o televisor. Las ventanas no tienen vidrio, solo cuentan con divisiones de madera corredizas y mallas anti-mosquitos, pero las mallas están rotas, lo que permite que entren insectos con facilidad. Esto impide dejar las ventanas abiertas para que ingrese luz o para disfrutar de la vista del jardín, ya que, debido al estado de las mallas, los insectos se cuelan en la habitación. El personal es amable, pero parece tener poca experiencia en hotelería, sobre todo las meseras. Estuvimos cuatro días, y desde el segundo día faltaban productos en el menú que, hasta el cuarto día, no habían repuesto. En el desayuno no hay proteínas ni opciones vegetarianas, por lo que mi esposa solo pudo comer panqueques con fruta, excepto el último día, cuando no tenían leche para los panqueques, así que solo comió pan con mantequilla en un desayuno ya pagado. Además, debes repetir cada pedido, porque si pides algo sin un ingrediente, es probable que lo sirvan con lo que pediste omitir. Las tres comidas que pedimos sin algún ingrediente nos las trajeron con él. Todo esto ocurrió en un hotel donde solo estábamos nosotros y otra familia; ni me imagino cómo sería con una ocupación alta. Tengo experiencia en el sector hotelero, y en mi opinión, no vale la pena pagar tanto por un lugar tan alejado y donde no se come bien. Eso sí, el paisaje y las vistas son privilegiados.
