Hotel che accettano animali domestici a Lapu-Lapu

The room was clean and comfortable, perfect for a restful night. Breakfast was great—especially the tapsilog, which hit the spot. The pool was okay for a quick dip, and the whole place had a relaxed vibe. What truly stood out was the owner’s kindness and warm hospitality. They even opened the gate for us at midnight after we came from a service visit to a departed friend—something we deeply appreciated.

La stanza era pulita, confortevole e abbastanza spaziosa. C'era un mini armadio, un tavolino da caffè e una poltrona. Avevamo una Smart TV in camera e tramite quella potevamo accedere al mio account Netflix personale. C'erano un mini/frigorifero personale, un bollitore elettrico, tazze, bicchieri, cucchiaini, piattini, una piccola cassaforte, accappatoi, pantofole da hotel, articoli da toeletta di base e bustine di caffè, panna e zucchero all'interno della stanza. La colazione era deliziosa e la posizione dell'hotel in sé era eccellente. Avevano un servizio navetta per la spiaggia e circa 4 o 5 posti dove mangiare. Sono solo dispiaciuto che l'orario del check-in fosse alle 15:00 e quello del check-out alle 11:00. Mi sarebbe piaciuto rimanere un po' di più lì.

La stanza che avevamo era la migliore, finora. Mi piace che abbia un soggiorno con TV e divano, cucina, toilette e bagno separati, così come una camera da letto. Quando stavamo per cucinare, abbiamo scoperto che c'era un problema con lo scarico. Sorprendentemente, sono stati rapidi a risolvere il problema. Vale la pena tornarci!

There’s no ocean view. Unless you hang off the small balcony that faces a wall. No Jacuzzi, no Onsen, and no smoking zone as advertised and instructed upon arrival. I was cooking bacon and, although I couldn’t hear any alarm, I had security staff insisting they enter the property to check. Fine. 5 minutes later, despite trying to eat, I had to ask them to leave when one of them wanted to take a photo of my meal. That’s intrusive, because it’s unnecessary, and I couldn’t wait to leave the building after that. The location is good, close to the shops and restaurants, the new museum being built, and 5 minutes away from the only open space, a vacant lot, the town as allocated as a smoking area. Unfortunately, it’s covered in cigarette butts and trash and from the moment you arrive the local girls stalk you. Awkward. This was fine for 4 days but not somewhere I would want to stay for longer or live.

Un piacevole hotel di bilancio. Abbiamo avuto un alloggio più tardi, dopo mezzanotte, ma ci siamo incontrati con gioia e immediato alloggio. Un piacevole supplemento è colazione e piscina sul terzo piano. Miglior rapporto prezzo = qualità 🫶🏼

I’ve stayed in many five-star hotels around Lapu-Lapu, and unfortunately, this property falls short of that standard. The room was relatively small and underwhelming, especially considering the nightly rate of $280 (around 15,500 pesos). Overall, the resort doesn’t compare favorably to its competitors in the area. Upon arrival, we headed to the pool and asked for towels, only to be told to come back in 30 minutes as they were still drying, not the kind of service you expect from a high-end resort. There were also no poolside activities or amenities for children, making it less suitable for families. If you want to use the children’s play area, there’s an extra charge of 300 pesos per child per hour, and you have to walk all the way back to the check-in counter to pay. Frankly, that felt like a rip-off. Safety-wise, be cautious walking around as there were small puddles on the floor, likely caused by condensation dripping from air-conditioning pipes above, an obvious slip hazard that should be addressed. Also, don't let your young kids near the elevator lobby windows. They are low level and open outwards.  The buffet breakfast was another letdown. The food was presented poorly, served lukewarm, and surprisingly lacked basic breakfast staples like sausage or bacon, something I’ve never encountered before in a hotel of this caliber. Even more concerning was the presence of pet dogs in the dining area during breakfast, which we found off-putting. While the sunset views are beautiful, they’re somewhat marred by the rusting ship hull of visible just offshore, a visual distraction that takes away from the otherwise scenic waterfront. On a brighter note, we had drinks and dinner at the sports bar twice, where the service was excellent and the food enjoyable. However, ordering would be more efficient if they adopted a QR code system instead of relying on guests to find a server. Overall, I wouldn’t stay here again. For better service, amenities, and overall experience, I’d recommend the Shangri-La or Sheraton, both of which offer a far superior pool, beach area, and level of hospitality. In fact I find Costabella Beach Resort much better services and amenities for a fraction of the price!

Le foglie e gli asciugamani non erano puliti. Ci erano molte tinture, e sembra che ci fosse una sala da banchetto vicino all'ostello, ma ci sono stati molte manifestazioni. La colazione era solo me e il menu era lo stesso !! C'era una scelta, ma anche se l'ho scelta, sembra che si verifichi solo quando è preparata. C'è un ristorante coreano vicino, ma è stato così delizioso di quanto pensassi.
