k_fr_237/10 – Beautiful, modern villa, but disappointing service and a few practical issues
We stayed for three nights in Villa 3, the ground-floor villa with a private pool. Our first impression was excellent. Everything was modern, spotless, and beautifully maintained. The villa smelled lovely, the minibar was well stocked, and even small details, like the outdoor shower for rinsing sand off your feet, were appreciated.
The private terrace with its pool and outdoor kitchen was lovely, but there were several drawbacks.
First, the insects. There were A LOT of biting insects in the outdoor area, not just mosquitoes. Despite using repellents, the provided citronella spray, and the ceiling fan, we still got badly bitten. It would be helpful if the property could recommend or provide something more effective against the local insects.
The pool was also quite cold, as the terrace receives very little direct sunlight. We even had a cute little frog living in the pool filter! We informed the staff, but nothing was done. Personally, we found him adorable, so if you're staying in Villa 3 and he's still there, please say hello from us!
The outdoor kitchen includes a BBQ area, but charcoal isn't provided. We were told to buy it ourselves, yet couldn't find any at the recommended supermarket. Having a BBQ area that guests can't easily use seems a little impractical.
Housekeeping was another issue. We didn't need full cleaning, just fresh towels and drinking water. The water was replenished and bath towels were changed, but our requests to replace the pool towels were ignored twice.
However, the most disappointing experience involved a dog living near the villas. She was a very sweet, partially blind mother dog whose puppies occasionally came around. I fed her throughout our stay and became quite attached to her. Before leaving, I gave the staff some food and a small tip, asking them to feed her and send me a photo. They agreed.
Unfortunately, over the following days, I received excuses about rain and the dog being absent, despite her having been around almost constantly during our stay. Eventually, I received a photo showing only the dog's backside, with no indication that she had actually been fed. I cannot say whether they fulfilled my request, but the way it was handled was genuinely disappointing. It was a small, personal request that they had voluntarily agreed to, and I expected better communication and follow-through. It left me questioning how genuine the hospitality was once we'd checked out.
On the positive side, the staff were friendly in person and helped us arrange a motorbike rental. Laundry service was also convenient.
There are a few restaurants along the nearby beach for breakfast and dinner, with more options in town. However, the beach itself isn't really suitable for swimming – it's shallow, rocky, and covered in seaweed. You'll need to travel to other beaches or use the villa's pool.
Overall, 7/10. The villa itself is beautiful, clean, and comfortable, but the insect problem, overlooked requests, and especially the disappointing experience after checkout affected our impression. With more thoughtful attention to guests' needs and better follow-through on promises, this could be a much better experience.

We stayed for a night at this hidden villa, and it felt like a true home away from home. The staff were incredibly kind and respectful, providing excellent service that made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The food was a highlight—absolutely delicious, with a healthy breakfast offered in the morning. You can even request a floating breakfast, which added a special touch to the experience. While the villa is tucked away down a short gravel road, the peaceful and private setting made it worth the effort.
The villa is kid-friendly, but families should be cautious around the tiled swimming pool area. There’s no TV, so if you’re traveling with children, make sure their devices are charged. Fortunately, the Wi-Fi is strong and reliable. Overall, it was a lovely, relaxing stay with amazing food and warm hospitality. We highly recommend this villa for a cozy and memorable getaway.

I didn’t feel like leaving! This place is a gem. It’s nestled on top of a small hill with mind blowing views. The room (Joglo 5) had spectacular views from the balcony and was very well equipped. It was clean, comfortable, bright, and spacious. The infinity pool and restaurant were the icing on the cake. Beautiful sunsets and vibe! Service was also excellent - thanks to Wilma, RV, Maggie, Lemer, Geo, Lester, Ellen, the Chef, and all others!

Utente ospiteL'hotel era fantastico. Le camere erano pulite e confortevoli. Il servizio di pulizia veniva effettuato ogni giorno. C'erano acqua, un mini-frigo, shampoo, bagnoschiuma e sapone.
La colazione era ottima e leggermente diversa ogni mattina. Ma c'erano sempre caffè, succo di frutta e frutta fresca.
Anche se era un po' fuori dal centro, era comunque facilmente raggiungibile in auto e in triciclo. Ci torneremmo sicuramente!

La posizione è grande finché non si cerca un posto vicino ristorante e negozi, ma al contrario, un ambiente particolarmente rilassante con una vista magnifica. Il personale è piacevole e ha risolto efficacemente un problema nella nostra stanza. Bella gestazione dall'hotel, un nuovo anno gratuito buffet + banda vive + lavoro da fuoco. Ok, probabilmente abbiamo pagato il prezzo della nostra camera, ma il prezzo onesto era ragionevole, soprattutto perché la nostra camera poteva ospitare 4 ospiti in 2 camere diverse con la propria camera da bagno, e il colazione era incluso. E' abbastanza raro da menzionare. Troppo di hotel stanno pagando un prezzo scandaloso per Natale del Nuovo Anno. Non lo spirito a Casalay. Ultimamente, ma non meno, kudos per la scuola di immersione. Molto professionale, soprattutto per ottenere il vostro Padi. Non si compromettono affatto, è molto rassicurante, forse saremo di nuovo se accadde a visitare Porto Galera.

First off, the man running the place is AMAZING. He was so friendly throughout the stay, carried our bags up, helped whenever we needed. We even left items there and he kept them for us. If the review was purely about the service we received, it would be a 10/10.
The accommodation is actually in a really cool spot, it’s on the beach so at high tide you need to walk through a bit of water to come in. But very scenic and nice.
The accommodation itself is fine. A little dated and could do with a few small fixes. Water pressure isn’t the best. But overall it added to a rustic feel.

Utente ospiteThe place is beautiful—the kind you would want to come back to. The staff are kind and accommodating. It’s very relaxing, especially if you’re looking for a quiet place to unwind or escape the noise of the city. The sea is enjoyable both in the morning and at night. We will definitely come back here. The swimming pool is also clean.
The road going down is a bit steep, but it’s manageable by motorcycle, and passengers can walk since there are stairs available. The place is clean overall, and we truly enjoyed our stay.

Utente ospiteLa villa à El Nido, aux Philippines, était magnifique. Les propriétaires étaient très réactifs et disponibles par message, et ils nous ont proposé de nombreuses activités et services, comme la location de scooters ou le lavage des vêtements.
Concernant l’emplacement, la villa se trouve à environ 10 à 15 minutes en scooter du centre-ville, ce qui était très pratique. La villa était vraiment très belle, bien entretenue, et le ménage était effectué tous les jours. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour.

We had the most amazing time at Ananda House. The villa was absolutely beautiful and very luxurious. We hired a moped from the man who owns the shop at the end of road which was really helpful for getting into town, only an easy 10 minute drive. Lovely to be away from the centre of town but still very convenient location. Thank you so much

Utente ospiteBeach is very beautiful but the location is very far. The amenities and room is excellent but it would be better if the room is facing the beach. All in all we like our stay and to kuya who assist us, thank you very much, you're so accommodating to us!!!
