Guest Reviews

• Scotty (6/5): Not worth 48 bucks. more like 29. - Staff was nice when around. . roof leaked flooed the floor had to move rooms. . Could here pump running all night. . Toilet seats came and went and never were attached. . Really odd. . Bathrooms were dirty staff sat around. Had tkme too clean. breakfast was super expensive.
• Marnelli (2/5): Dont boom here! - The construction from the neighbor wasn’t bothersome at all. Very Dirty The pool turning green The foams by the lounge area was Itchy and stinky. Very lazy service crew Sleeping in the lounging area, and face glued on their phone the whole day. Rooms were smelly. Just a really badly managed resort. Whoever made that comment that it’s under new management and things are going better is really a hoax. Don’t book here
• Taylor (8/5): Viento Del Mar - The hotel is under new management and the owners are quite lovely! Overall, it was a nice little place to stay right on the beach. The Kite Boarding school was a great addition - we always had things to watch on the water. The rooms were basic, but everything was clean. The hotel was very quiet, there weren't any events in the bar area the entire time we were there - though there were a few friendly stray dogs that would howl in the night occasionally. It is a great location right in the middle of General Luna only a few minute scooter from Cloud 9. Breakfast was the only meal available from the hotel and started around 8am. We were up early so never took advantage of this. Wifi worked in the common area downstairs and worked most of the time. I believe we paid a discounted rate because of the renovations but I don't know if we would have been comfortable paying full price.
• Harlon (2/5): DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL UNTIL THEY FIX THEIR PROBLE - The room itself looked great and that is what drew my attention to it. However the shower had no water pressure, the air conditioner couldn't keep the room cool at all, the deep soakinhg bathtub was not working at all and they never once cleaned or changed our sheets and you do not have a tv or internet in the room. There is also about 10 wild dogs that barked and howled all night long and they never even tried to control the dogs or shu them away, they let them sleep on the same couches as the residents of the hotel use in the common areas.. We stayed 3 nights and the 3rd night we were there the hotel lost power and we sat in the dark all night long, while all the other hotels around us had power. The only good thing about the hotel was the manager, the son of the owner. He was very nice and tried his best to accommodate us, he even filled the tub by hand and bucket for me. Over all the hotel could be as nice as it looks with some updates and maintenance.. for me I will never book there again. It was frustrating and not enjoyable or relaxing to me, a waste of my time and money.. the beach of course was the only nice thing that the hotel had to offer, if they fixed the issues with the room and got rid of the dogs, I would consider going back there..
• Michelle (10/5): Very nice hotel next to beach and restaurants - We really liked our 5 nights stay in viento del mar. Nice and friendly staff. Nice athmosphere. Possibility to have a good breeakfast, or to rent surfboards and take lessons or rent stand up paddle boards. Its located right next to the very pretty beach where there are almost no other people. Really great place. Also location is great in the center of general luna close to all restaurants and bars.
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Do not stay in this resort. I repeat.. DO. NOT. STAY. IN. THIS. RESORT. We booked the ocean view room for 5D4N, and everything (except the view, the bed and the pillows) was horrible. 1. The featured bath tub in the room is not working. There’s no water. 🙄 2. The aircon is hardly working. We had to ask for an electric fan, and we were given an old, musty and almost falling apart one. 3. There was neither water nor electricity on our second night and third day. We then learned that they have a generator, but nobody cared to put it on. They also have a water tank, but we were told that they had no reserved water on it. 😡 4. There’s no restaurant. They only serve breakfast upon request. 5. Unhelpful staff. Their employees leave at 5PM, and go back to duty at 7AM the following day. They also turn off the resort’s cellphone when they are not in duty. We were left by ourselves every night. (Take Note: Do not ask anything from the lady staff who has an eye defect. She gets irritated whenever being talked or asked to.) 6. Their wifi hardly works, and it only works (sometimes) in the reception and pool area. There’s no wifi in the rooms. 7. Dirty water in the pool. They also have dogs who drink water from it. 😭 So if you want to experience Siargao at its best, DO NOT EVER stay in this resort. Take my word for it.
• Verified traveler (2/5): - One of the most horibble place i ever been. The staff there is super rude. We came there and booked for 2 nights when we were in the reception. The second after we booked it online (was much cheaper) the woman at the reception told us there are construction near the hotel and that we will probably suffer from the noise. We didn't had any other option because we already paid. We didn't enjoy our first and expensive night(bad shower-Switching from boiling hot to freezing cold, construction noises) and asked to check out early, in the morning after. The reception lady told us that we will get a refund for the night we won't stay there, just need to wait to the owner that will come in the afternoon. We booked another hotel for this night. We came afternoon to check and the owner of the hotel shouted on us and told us we will get no refund. He pretty much kicked us out of there and was really agressive. We lost the money for that night. And got really scared by the manager.
• David (10/5): Super friendly staff at budget friendly rooms - A great budget style property with amazing high quality staff that felt more like friends by the end of the stay.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Room was amazing, however there were a couple of issues (like some things were broken) and resort overall did not seem maintained over the years. The staff was also great and accommodating but reception closed earlier than the expected time (7PM)
• Verified traveler (6/5): Water Supply Issue( Rust Smell) - The Location is excellent. The room is OK but I believe it is about time to check the water system for all the rooms. Our room water supply has it rust smell and the color too. To the management kindly recheck the water supply
• Verified traveler (2/5): - The place is TERRIBLE. The staff are not accommodating and friendly. The rooms are dirty.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - If you want to experience Siargao this is the experience you get for what you pay for on a budget. Place was not bad beside the island having multiple brown outs. If you like good reggae music and partying then this is for you. If not you in the wrong place. Only thing I didnt like didnt serve any food and the toilet system. Gotta do what you gotta do to get better piping. Overall not a bad place to stay and its right on the beach, can't beat that.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Booked this property and didn't know the bathroom was not connected. You have to leave the room and across from the room there are two bathrooms (1 extra shower room + the other shower head in the other bathroom). Note about the bathrooms. No toilet seats. In the solo shower room there are no hooks for your towels. In the solo bathroom, the water from the sink trickles so bad that you can barely wash your hands. For those reasons I would not stay again. Pros: on the beach (not that nice to swim though), the room was cleaned every day with new towels and water filled from the water cooler, safe, cold AC, and the location in relationship to the bars and restaurants was very good. Easy walk everywhere in General Luna. When we left Siargao and came to Bohol, we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the hotels. I love my hotel on Bohol 3x as much as Veinto Del Mar.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - We booked a beachfront room, w/ a bathtub. But the bathtub is not working - no water. Our room had a closet, but was locked, we couldn't use it. We asked the staff to open it, but we were told that the hotel owner has stuff in there, w/c is why it's locked. So we just had to keep our clothes in our luggage. Pros: we have our own balcony, where we get lots of fresh air since it's beachfront. Lots of cheap places to eat nearby. Price is reasonable. Cons: Power turns on&off and lots of power issues after each power interruption (we spent our last day w/ no aircon for half day). Very Noisy at night, you can't rest. So much party in this place. If you're traveling w/ family or for a peaceful retreat, this is not the place for you. The water smells. I almost puked when i tried to gargle w/it. I guess they are using some deepwell water source coz it made my hair feel rough. I can tell coz we were at Isla Cabana last time, and we didn't have such issue with water. I asked another friend who was at Oceans101 and she said their water was okay too.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - We should have read reviews before we proceeded to book the hotel. We didn't know this place is where lots of parties take place. Definitely not for those looking for a quiet, relaxing experience We stayed here for 4 d/3n.When we checked in, we were told that there will be a party every Friday, w/c is moved earlier in observance of Good Friday. They said the party will last til 3am. That was fine, one noisy night is forgiveable. But 2 nights later, the owner held a party again for his friends - w/c went out of control. The noise was too much, our walls & beds were literally vibrating. the turned up the music too loudly that there is no way you can drown the noise even if I pressed the pillow against my ears. I only had an hour of sleep coz the party stretched quite long.I had migraines the next day Few things to note: we booked a room w/ bath tub (as photos show) but we found out that it doesn't work - there is no running water to fill the tub. Water pressure is not good, & since we are in the 2nd flr, the shower won't work, so we had to fill the pitcher with water from the sink & use that to bath, Im not sure how they set up their power, but since power interruption is common in siargao, they have this system to protect their lines each time the power goes out. But the problem is, once they turn it back on, things get messed up. Either only the ground floor has power or none of the outlets will work But air is nice since it's beachfront, plenty of places to eat nearby
• Verified traveler (4/5): - The staff are too relax
• Verified traveler (4/5): - There was s disco on the night we arrived which went on until the early hours of the morning.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - It had a great view of the beach, a lot of space and amazing food for breakfast. presentation overall was great. However, the shower needs improvement as the showerhead felt like it was broken and not working at all.
• Verified traveler (2/5): - The property has no water, the room was very damp and not that clean. Only good thing really was the location.
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Wow!!!! This place is a joke!!! Stay as far as possible!!! I wrote this review at 6pm while I stood outside my room because the cleaning person who made my room at this time (only because I asked the staff twice to have my room cleaned) locked me out of it... I asked to get cleaned towels and she came back with one only, I had to ask her two more times to get another towel. Management obviously can care less for their guests, I’ve talked to the staff twice due to the poor bathroom condition (toilet seat way smaller than the toilet and also very loose, water pressure in faucet or shower is low low so forget to have a decent shower cause not enough water coming out of the shower head) and management was in the premises and didn't even bother to ask. This place is way outdated, it looks and feels dirty. We booked a “Deluxe AC Room En-suite” the only thing is fair about the description of this room is the AC. Bathroom in terrible condition, room really small and only one table to place your things. Safe box couldn’t be tinier. View from room a dirty lot full of debris and super noisy workers who start (even on a Sunday) around 6:30am, so if you aren’t a surfer: GOOD LUCK getting some more sleep in. Our room’s window hasn’t probably been washed in months now... the rooftop “lounge” is far from being a place to relax (dirty cups and beer bottles that look like have been sitting there for months) holes in the walls... it looks like a hurricane have just passed through this hotel.
