Tahanan Resort

Generally very good, great location and lovely views out over the sea but felt like it was a little bit neglected and could do with some maintenance.

There were lots of mosquitoes in my room when I checked in. When I mentioned it the staff did give me a coil but it didn't get rid of them all - I think part of the problem was that the drain in the CR was a bit blocked and so water was building up and there was also a lot of open bamboo panelling in the CR that was damp and mildewy so there were lots of places for them to breed and hide. The pool was also a bit dirty and looked like it hadn't been properly cleaned for a long time. Generally a lovely resort but seems a bit neglected and like it could do with a bit of maintenance.

We stayed in the bungalows (with fan) for 6 nights. The restaurant on site is amazing and the staff are lovely and welcoming. The views from the restaurant area are amazing especially for sunsets, and the pool was super nice to have. The beds were comfortable and it was generally a lovely relaxing environment.

There was nowhere to refill water bottles which was highly unusual, every other accommodation we stayed in in the Philippines (from budget hostels to upscale hotels) all provided this as an essential amenity. The restaurant staff were kind and refilled our bottles but we hated having to ask them to do so 3/4 times per day. The result was having to buy plastic bottles and a lot of plastic waste. I also think the shared bathrooms need to have mirrors and need to be cleaned more regularly. The paint on the floor of the bungalows comes off and stained the sheets badly and also our bags and clothes, and it would have been nice to have reading lamps included in the bungalows.

All of it is great

Spacious Room and location and view.

The water supply in the bathroom was low, the service at the restaurant was quite slow. Room was not so clean, there were a lot of cobwebs and quite dusty
