Solitude Acacia Resort

2 hours from Manila, with incredible Seaview and marvellous sunset, truly a top spot for R&R. Beachfront resort with spacious rooms and all modern comforts. Mabini is not a typical sandy beach area, it is a rocky beach, the water is instantly deep so great for diving. I enjoyed the pool, sun deck and variety in menu options. Elevated pool bar is the best spot to watch the sunset. A resort where you would stay-in and not go anywhere else. A quiet and surreal place to press pause and clear your mind. Good for couples or bestfriends get-aways. The hotel arranged a private car pickup from my location to the resort. Quick and easy checkin and checkout. From reception there are 4 flight of stairs to our room, staff assisted to bring down our luggage. Staff were professional and friendly.

Lack of waiters at the Sundeck. There is no phones in the rooms to call room service or house keeping. You need to use your mobile phone to contact them or text on WatsAp.

Everything about Acacia was above and beyond my expectations. The food, staff and amenities were all amazing. Dive centre was a well oiled machine with knowledgeable and helpful staff.

Quiet location. We weren't there for diving, just chilling. The staff were helpful and most were smiling constantly. The food choice was wonderful and delicious. Pool was perfect and we spent most days laying by it. Bowls of popcorn appeared when we were drinking at the Dive Bar watching perfect sunsets. An ideal location for a getaway. Nearest town about 20 mins by taxi or by motorbike and sidecar (that was fun). Massages were extraordinarily good and excellent value.

Booking.com seemed to have messed up the booking for our travelling companions as the hotel had no record of them despite confirmation emails. Be aware that food is extra and does make it an expensive stay. The Dive Bar opening hours could have been longer (opened late afternoon). If you have any mobility issues, this is not a hotel for you as the resort is built into the hillside with lots of steps and no lifts.

部屋が綺麗でした。

特にないです

Good menu. Fast service

The staff doing the check in wasn’t friendly

Rooms were spacious and quiet. Staff were attentive and polite.

The surrounding neighbourhood, hardly much going on in town.

The resort is beautiful, great staff and an excellent restaurant that serves delicious meals. There is a dive shop run by a professional staff. It caters to a lot of foreign divers. There is ample parking inside the resort. The rooms are big, very clean with a cold AC. Pet friendly.

Suberb location with great seaviews, the dive center and guides, as well as boat crews were extremely good. The layout of the property was spot on, and restaurant the best that we ate at in the Philippines. We had our own dive guide and boat, private just for us two for the whole time during our 3 days of diving, even when I dive alone. That is called exclusive service! Overall we found the service and people great, except for the drink orders.

Small annoyance was the drink orders at the restaurant. More than once the drink orders were either neglected or forgot, with ordered drinks arriving e.g. only when you were eating desert. We needed constantly ask after our drinks that we had ordered. That happened also in other restaurants, so seems some cultural thing. But as the clientele was pretty international, I think this aspect of the service should be improved.

Small dive resort with a decent pool and nice restaurant. Rooms are simple but nice. The food in the restaurant is great, large selection and most items are very well prepared, from the beef tappa for breakfast, the tacos for lunch to the shrimp curry for dinner. Als the steak au poivre was made as in France.

Plumbing, the pipes used are too narrow which creates blockages in the sewage system and could cause unpleasant issues.
