Sotogrande Hotel and Convention Center Batangas

Beds were comfortable. This hotel is brand new so everything looks modern and clean. Lobby was spacious.

The bathrooms are poorly designed. The door swings inward and would hit someone if they are using the toilet. There were no shower curtains or door and the toilet paper is by the shower side. So it gets wet when someone is showering. The water pressure of the bidet was too much and hurts to use. Since they are newly opened, they only take cash so be prepared. Even if you booked online with your credit card, they will ask you to pay cash onsite. Your card will not be charged.

The rooms are spacious. The pools are nice.

The restaurant service needs improvement. The wait time for the food to arrive took hours.

With a last minute booking, we found this place in the middle of Batangas. It is accessible with taxi (P500-600) that hotel can arrange but not public transportation friendly. The location is 20 mins (14km) away from Batangas Port, for those who intend to go the Puerto Galera, there are more options near the port, but not as pleasant as this hotel. The lobby of the hotel is very spacious with modern furnishings and the room we were in was bigger than average with good bed sheets and pillows. It's a new hotel and I think it should have waited a bit more to make sure it's ready for guests instead of having a soft opening - this soft opening can be very disappointing as the staff needs more training but we were served to the utmost and all is well. Thank you!

The property was brand new. There were a few niggles but to be expected as in soft opening. Staff were helpful. Everything was good.
