The Philip Ann Resort

Room extremely small, Felt like a closet No hot water in shower, poorly lit, Floor drain in bathroom didnt drain so bathroom floor remained a swamp with god only knows what was backing in floor drain. Only stayed night out of four, got the hell out...

The service at this resort was one of the best I’ve ever had! Really attentive and friendly!

All in one property. You never have to leave for enjoyment. Dining on the 2nd or Third tier overlooking the bay was exceptional. Breakfast outdoor with a great view and fresh air was so refreshing. The Host / Owner, Phil and his partner, Maria were fantastic and made our stay special. The staff and manager, Donald, were excellent! I would highly recommend this resort to anyone.

A very nice and friendly mini resort in Mabini. Great location with a coral reef on its doorstep. Do not expect a sandy beach however. There are small rocks/pebbles by the shoreline and then reef immediately after. Young children will find it difficult to swim or play there. The restaurant offers some very tasty food but stick to the filipino or South East Asian dishes (they have not got the hang of the European ones). The staff is very friendly and accommodating, top marks for them. However: a major negative point is that they advertise the rooms to be bigger than they actually are. When I travel with my family I always make sure to book rooms or suites of a certain size since we appreciate space. I used Hotels.com for this booking and I booked the largest room available at the resort; the Family Suite. The resort advertised this as beeing 87 sq m and good for 6 people. Upon arriving I discovered that the Family Suite is nowhere near 87 sq m. Far from it. I estimated it to be 30-35 sq m. 6 people will struggle in this "suite". We were 2 adults and 1 child and found it cramped. The suite is the same one as in the photos on the booking websites so we did not get the wrong room. So either someone at The Philip Ann Resort can not measure a space properly or they are deliberately lying about the size of their rooms. Anyway, I was very annoyed and displeased with this false information and I would have picked another resort if I had known the true size of this family "suite".

I was amazed with the customer service. It’s top of the line.

Coral reef in your back yard, good for snorkelling!. Be careful at low tide.

Staff are very accommodating. Owner Philip does personal care to every guest. Will definitely recommend
