The Philip Ann Resort

This was an amazing trip! I haven't had a chance to write a review but here it goes. 1. The staff - Super amazing and friendly, always smiling and helpful. 2. The managers - great, caring, funny and always went above and beyond to help and accommodate. 3. Resort - Amazing ocean view and lots of activities, we went back 3 times in a span of 2 weeks. Lol 4. Room - clean and comfortable! 5. Food and drinks - delicious and amazing! One of the best in the Philippines. I've been to many hotels and resorts worldwide, but this has been the top of all of my stays. The vibe, the friendliness, activities, food and drinks. I've never felt so relaxed and I didn't even need to use my phone. No stress and all good vibes! Waking up to see the ocean with a nice cup of coffee with smooth music, it makes the hours of drive (almost 4 hours one way) to there well worth it. In my opinion, this was more than a stay, this was an unforgettable experience! We have been through the regular days and also the typhoon days, they have been amazing and helpful the whole time! It was definitely an adventure! Now I'm back in Florida again and I miss this place, but I'm planning a visit the Philippines next year and I will make this my top place to visit!

I don't know why everyone is gushing so much about this resort. Our room (we booked for 2 adults) was no more than 8m2, the bed was much smaller than a queen sized children. It was also super abused and uncomfortabley soft and squeeky. Avoid if you have a bad back like me! Only cold shower of course, the AC was leaking, dripping onto the bed. Ants in the bathroom. TV / cable didn't work. Wifi was very unreliable. In the pool area zero service on the first day. We had to open the umbrella ourselves and hunt down the beach towels. The bar was not manned, we had to do call theml several times and for service. Same in the evenings.In the evening. The second day at least somebody came to open the umbrella without us having to ask. We had to ask for table water every time we ate in their restaurant. An employee offered complimentary beers. When we said we don't drink alcohol I suggested a Coke zeros in exchange,. "Yes sir '. She wasn't seen again... They need to pickup the trash on their part of the beach, including the marked swimming/ snorkelling area. There were several under occupied guys standing around smoking all the time. Why not tell them to invest one hour cleaning up? And finally: the bane of PH resorts. Annoying loud thumping music from 8:00 to 22:00.

I have traveled around the world to quite a lot of resorts, l must admit that the service, friendliness and courtesy of this resort was second to none. They were extremely welcoming and accommodating. They welcomed us with complimentary drinks for the whole family and made sure we were all settling in safely. The Manager Sir Donald was a very hands on Manager and could not do more to help make our stay as enjoyable as possible while the rest of the staff did more for us than any other resort l have ever stayed at. Needless to say, l will return to stay at this resort again when l return to The Philippines. The facilities at this resort make sure that you are never bored wondering what to do. I totally recommend that everyone coming to this part of the world check it out, you certainly will not regret it.
