A Villas Resort & Restaurant

The room with a terrace is located in front of the beach. Nice sunrise. Very quiet place. The food was good. The staff was nice. Even if we arrive early (11pm) our room was ready.

More shade around the pool would be nice.

*The staff are friendly and accommodating. *The resort & room is clean. *Plenty of towels & room slippers. *The food is good and well prepared.

The T&B floor is slippery. I think non-slip floor mat could be added.

Almost 30 years visiting the Philippines from New York, I’ve stayed at every type hotel/resort. A Villas is not a cookie cutter western style commercial hotel. It’s a small local hotel with a beautiful pool overlooking the Sea. At waterfront on both sides is a fishing village with wonderful families who I interacted with everyday, was invited to their parties, and invited to go fishing with them. All of this is the flavor of the Philippines. I don’t fly 9,000 miles to stay in a western type resort. 22 days at A Villas is a treat, understanding the culture. Many poor people, but I’ve never met more humble or happier people anywhere in the world. I stayed in the cottage (only 1) at waters edge, a/c, modern, clean, and I open my door and interacted with the fishing village folks everyday, who treated me like one of their own. It’s not a 3,4,5 Star Hilton, but it’s a wonderful experience. I actually became self appointed pool skimmer/cleaner everyday. Staff set the skimmer out for me daily. Staff got me a new scooter that I rented for $10.- day, and will be continuing this reveal for another week. I married my wife in the Philippines 29 years ago, she had to return to USA earlier than me. I’m very familiar with the Philippines. This offers the flavor of a local Philippine resort. I’ll be back. There will be a little culture shock for some, for sure, but there’s so much to be gained from this local hotel. Vincent/New York

Day 1,2,3 there are surprises, but they slip away as the staff helps you become comfortable. Except for cottage and the family type room, rooms are small, but very clean. No protection from sun in the beautiful pool, so one learns what hours to not be sitting in the pool. These things all the local folks already know.

Location was great, close to fast food and convenience stores, excellent little neighborhood and super affordable offerings

Staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms are very clean Food is excellent

Beach was very rocky and you have to go down a stairs to access the ocean.

Everything is just right at this place: The view, the pool, the room, the beach, the whole resort and including the price, all just right. An "especially" goes to the food, everything we ordered was delicious! Most of all: the staff, very friendly and super accommodating! Our kids loved the place. We all had a great time!
