Guest Reviews
- Verified traveler (2/5): Could be better - Customer service was lacking with the lady at check out. She ignored my question and was rude. Maintenance was very helpful to fix issues related to my room. Service at the restaurant and bellboy service was nothing to write home about.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Matabungkay has established itself as part of Lian's heritage. It has been around for years and has been itself a regal reputation. Though the place looks a little dated, it keeps the Philippine heritage alive and well.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The beach it looks dirty
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The deluxe room we asked for was basic and should have been a lot cheaper, and we demanded a change. We were still charged most of the cost for the original room, NO SIGN OF GOODWILL! We took 9 family members to this over-rated resort, and NONE WERE IMPRESSED. Our advice, give this place a serious MISS!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - just improve the buffet. The food selection.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - A lot of water activities to choose from and amenities are open until 11 and 12 mn
- BobH. (10/5): - Nice beach with coral reef. Great staff. We were looking for suman and one of the girls at the restayremembered and got us some the next day. All staff went the extra mile to help and meet your needs
- NINA MARIE (10/5): For a wonderful getaway - Staff are friendly and polite. Fast check-in (maybe because we came in a weekday and lean season). Rooms are clean and well prepared. The breakfast we had is plated and it tastes good. Water activities are at a reasonable price too
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The service was good, but activities were hard to schedule and the location was difficult to get to. We wanted to dive, but they weren’t available for a discover scuba, and we wanted to get massages but the availability was limited for both the massage and sauna times.
- Simon (10/5): - Wonderful friendly and efficient staff, decent facilities and good food. Would highlyrecommend
- chris (2/5): Do not book! - Delux rm not delux. Staff good. Food awful gave me food poisoning. Area the worst ever. Horrible stay
- David (10/5): Very nice place to stay. - Very nice place, great food, great staff, very clean, 3 pools, large private beach.
- Verified traveler (4/5): annoying staff - we booked for three family room(villa) and the front staff still trying to charge us for additional payment for children. unbelievable. will never go back to this hotel again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very clean and accomodating Staff. Nice hotel close to the beach.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The resort is big but the facility is not awesome. Lack of activities specially for the kids. The beach is not nice to swim. Lack of restaurant so guest will have other option to eat.
- DAVID (4/5): Matabungkay Beach Resort is not worth it. - We are not happy at all. The hotel is very old yet pricey. Every corner of our room smells old and the air conditioning is horrible. We're made to endure the remote third floor room during our stay. We are never going back to Matabungkay Beach Resort. Not even if they pay us to do so. So you know.
- Gil (4/5): Worst and old but still expensive Boring place - I regret this place. old and poorly maintained A waste of time for my family vacation where we all came from California Staff was greedy too adding extras every time but did not provide extra service Also those 35 year old jalousie windows let smoke from locals burning leaves and trash teice a day morning and night and made us dizzy inside a risk of carbon monoxide poisonong
- cindy (4/5): - Front desk clerk insisted to see confirmation on my phone when she was already ready to give us the room keys. She just wants to give me a hard time. She said we are not allowed to use hotel facilities-water activities because they have 3000 hotel guests who already reserved them and will be in use all day...not apologetic at all..more like flaunting it..oblivious that we too are hotel guests and are entitled to same amenities. This is not a 3 star hotel..more like 2. Very noisy starting at 7:00 am.
- JCP (4/5): Faded glory - This is faded glory. While we were there several corporate outings took place with loud karaoke drowning out any sense of peace and quiet. We cut our stay short to look for something more peaceful. We booked a suite but not a single window offered a view. We might as well have been on Mars. The staff were friendly but that did not compensate for the utter disappointment of the place.
- Sandy (6/5): Lack of complete information on the internet - The information on the internet is not totally complete because nothing is said about the facility not having any elevator. It is difficult especially for senior citizens with mobility problems to navigate three flights of steps going to the rooms on the third floor. The picture of the beach was nice online, however, we could not enjoy the beach because the three days spent in this resort was awful not being able to swim due to very low tides everyday. We have to rent a canoe to bring us to a deeper part of the ocean and walking on the rocks just to board the canoe was too inconvenient and painful to our feet, We specifically booked this resort because we wanted to swim in the ocean and unfortunately, we were unable to do this because renting a local boatmen gets kind of expensive and walking on the rocky sand was too painful. The restaurant onsite, however, was nice and despite a lack of a list of menus, the food was good, not too great especially the breakfast. For Americans, wanting a western breakfast of pancakes, eggs and bacon is a disappointment, pancakes were doughy and chewy, eggs not cooked right and bacon was replaced with local longanisa. If you are looking for a great beach resort, this is not the place to go or visit, you will be disappointed by the regular low tide and the water does not get in until very late in the afternoon and the ocean coming in was not blue and clear as shown on the website. We had to settle for the swimming pool.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Was ok at best - Facilities were ok, restaurant only had limited menu, rooms could do with much improvement for the price paid, beach was ok but unable to swim in the sea as sea level is very shallow at all times. Staff were nice and polite. Nothing much to do in local area, I checked out early as I was bored and felt a little disappointed.
- Alma Vida (8/5): - Overall stay was satisfactory however food at the resto is too expensive, prices are not reasonable per serving.
- L (6/5): Great hideaway - Too far from city beach is ok not much to do...staff are very nice,food is expensive but tasted ok.... rooms are big but very basic but Enjoyed our stay quiet away from all the hustle&bustle of the city..great sunset... ok for an overniter......
- Stephane (6/5): Ordinary - Disappointed , no internet in guest room ! Many activities are not free and it's not indicated on web site .....
- hantin (8/5): Nice hotel very close to the beach - Beautiful hideaway So relaxing Everything you need
- marie (6/5): Private beach front in matabungkay - The hotel staff from dining to reception to housekeeping are all very nice and efficient. The villa rooms lack slippers, curtains old and dirty, pillows not soft and no blanket, just the very thin mattress cover.
- kearl (6/5): Easy family stay - The hotel was a quick getaway from the city. It has its own clean beach front. Seems to have low tide the whole of the day starting from noon until night. Food was ok. Staff were courteous. Facilities were sufficient.
- Ferdie (10/5): Nice scenery of the hotel nice pool But no interne - Nice experience the only complaint is no Internet inside the room. Need Internet as for buss and leisure purposes
- Michael (6/5): Good room, disgusting restaurant foods viands... - The room is great, airconditioning is so good, housekeeping in toilet leaves bad odor, restaurants foods did not describes actual dish ingredients and seems has been cook for many times like sinigang na pork spare ribs there is only one spare ribs rest are pork meat vegetables seems been cutted long time ago leaves rotten part at the ends of the kangkong ladyfinger are too much old, lechon kawali seems to be cooked so many times, pizza is ok and lovable to eat as well as buko shake and halohalo...swimming pools smells dirty and looks dirty specialy kiddie pool...
- Julius Paulo (8/5): - No WIFI during our stay. Food is great and affordable.
- Abigail Rachel (10/5): Unforgettable Quick Escape - It was really unforgettable! I would surely come back to this place and recommend it to my relatives and friends as well :)
- Mary Woodbury Joyce (6/5): Overnight at Matabungkay - No in room wifi. No coffee and tea maker as advertised but the receptionist provided when asked. The family room was very big but no aircon in the living room, no kitchen and microwave.
- Greg (10/5): quiet hotel , beautiful grounds - great place , clean, comfortable , accommodating, new menu in restaurant, friendly staff, great pools, great prices, stayed for 5 days, early season march 3 to 8 , only disappointment was no grilled sea food , manager told us the playa grill opens at holy week, but still excellent place to stay, don't expect credit cards to work with the phone system and internet of the Philippines, take a boat tour, and you will want to come back
- Verified traveler (6/5): Not worth the price - Booked two deluxe rooms for our family as we basically need a place to stay for the night for our grandfather's funeral (Nearest hotel that we can find) and we came straight from the airport with young kids. The room is big with a wardrobe and 1 single and 1 queen bed. There is a tv that we never used anyway. Shower has water heater, I think for the sink faucet as well. But the sink is clogged! No tea/coffee making facilities, we requested for hot water and they brought a thermos about 4 cups of water for Php50. We were allowed to check out at 3 given the fact that we checked in at almost 10pm. The hotel is outdated, really! But the view from the balcony as well as well as the fact that a few steps only and you can enjoy the beach kinda makes up for it.
- Verified traveler (8/5): it was a very nice place to stay. quiet. relaxing. - the food was good. it is a place you can go and enjoy spending time with your family. remote and secluded that you don't have to worry about any noise. the facilities are great. the rooms are too big that you could easily invite your whole relatives. staff are friendly and very accommodating that make you feel at home. we would definitely come back because it was one of the best place we have been when we visit our relatives in batangas. i would highly recommend it to whoever wants to enjoy and find a relaxing place to unwind. its worth any penny. the most important part of the whole experience was the cleanliness of the rooms and its surroundings. keep up the good work and we will be back
- madz (8/5): nice hotel to relax - very nice hotel new rooms very spacious relaxing ambiance great staff service we had a very nice stay
- ALVIN (6/5): Matabungkay Experience - My family had fun for a 2-night escape. However, the resort needs improvement on their facilities especially in handling pest control since most of the time we dine in Caballero, we were bugged by flies and worst... the food is so expensive with limited choices.
- Ria (6/5): It is nice - place is nice. Lots of activities. Their only let down is the food. - food is Expensive but crappy.
- Johan (8/5): pleasant - The beach was disappointing, not what we expected. The pools were great and clean. Overall a pleasant stay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nice stay and hotel staff excellent and great pool - Short drive from Manila and very helpful staff and management if any problem should arise Hotel could do with some modernizing and the menu is a little basic but well prices and overall for its rating this hotel offers excellent value for money
- Verified traveler (8/5): My staycation - We had fun! I enjoyed our big room. It was clean. HOwever, our aircon wasnt functioning well. It was a bit hot in our room.
- Sinclaire (8/5): Enjoyable Vacation - It was a wonderful stay with my family. The swimming pools are great and the food is terrific. My kids enjoyed the other amenities like billiards, pingpong, basketball and volleyball. We will definitely come back and recommend to our friends and family.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Dirty beach. Please pick up the trash!!!! - The beach was great but they need to pick up the trash. And the food was horrible.
- Sherryl (8/5): Nice hotel.. friendly staff - We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. My daughter even made a new friend. The pools were big enough to accommodate guests.. it was raining during our stay so we didn t enjoy much the beach but it didn t matter.... we ll definitely come back!
- july 2015 (4/5): Mosquito Haven - Nothing really, to write back home. The place lost all its glory though it showed hints of glamour in the past. Overall, the whole place needs to be re-built from zero.
- ARMI (8/5): For short-stay only. - I enjoyed the indoor games like pingpong, darts & billiard. The rooms are huge and newly renovated.
- Maria Venjoe (6/5): nice hotel close to the beach. - we have fun with my relatives and my husband.... the only thing is the water from the beach is not quite clear.... We love the pool ....we have enough space to swim ...the hotel has 3 pools which is cool not too crowded.... My comments is that the food need more selections.... bad experience when i ordered my asian salad it was not quite presentable.....not good at all i just paid for it but not satisfied at all....Food is quite expensive but not impressive....
- Jackie (8/5): Nice Hotel and Facilities - The main attractions in this hotel are the facilities - pools, restaurants and overall ambiance. Outstanding are the hotel rooms with a veranda (with a round table and 2 chairs) overlooking the pool and the beach. The AC is super cold which is nice :) Washroom is ok with 2 toothbrushes, soaps, shampoos and clean towels. The bed,linen and pillows are clean and comfy. I have to say that the food we had wasnt that good. The crispy pata was crispy but bland in taste and could have used good seasonings before cooking :( There was a couple of reports that rooms were broken into in 2 successive nights. First night it was one room. The second night, there werer 4-5 rooms broken into and this had caused quite a scene at the front desk. The korean guests reportedly lost about 10K php :( Police were called in to investigate but could not do anything because the manager was not around and was not available and unreachable. This is not acceptable. No word on who was behind the break ins. Could be the staff, other guests, or the pinays with the koreans :) who knows !. Other than that, I still would recommend this hotel.
- ruthie (8/5): Great place,, had so much fun with my family. - The pool was nice because its new and its style is common to the pool i've tried in countries from asia, awesome design and the beach is amazing had fun riding a boat with my family , my husband and son tried snorkeling and had a great time, the food was good, had my favorite steamed tulingan fish with coco milk, the price is quite expensive but its all worth it, i saw the buffet meals but it's not quite appealing to the guests maybe because it also cost that much, over all the staff are nice and the place is funtastic when we enter the brgy where the resort is they collect 5 pesos for each person and visitors of their towns which not cost much but quite apprehensive as to why do they have to collect, we've been to other places and beaches but no such hassle took place.
- Nicai (8/5): Resort for the family - Nice & spacious room. The bathroom was newly renovated. The rooms were clean. Yey. The hotel itself had many facilities, i liked that they had 3 swimming pool because the tide could get very low. Id say the resort is Ideal for family outing as there are many activities to choose from. They have their own spa and the price is reasonable. Staff were friendly. Was not impressed though with the food, could use major improvement. The food was lutong bahay but pricey. Example, We had grilled pusit for P295 and it was a bit overcooked.
