Guest Reviews

• Jisseca (10/5): - Peacefull
• Nelia (4/5): Terrible - Worst hotel, we’ve stay.
• Stephen (10/5): - Beautiful property. Very peaceful stay. Really accomodated the whole family.
• Ronald M H (10/5): Exceptional Stay!! - Our stay at Soledad Beach Resort in Patar Beach, Bolinao, was nothing short of incredible! The photos simply don’t do justice to how beautiful and well-maintained this resort is. The value for money is exceptional – we were so impressed that we extended our stay twice! The bed, bedding, and pillows were some of the most comfortable we’ve experienced, making every night a restful one––along with cable TV! The resort boasts three amazing pools (each perfect for a relaxing dip or some fun with family), and there’s no shortage of activities – from billiards to karaoke and ample BBQ facilities for group gatherings. The staff were exceptionally professional, friendly, and always accommodating, ensuring our every need was met. Soledad truly exceeded all expectations, and we can’t wait to return for another relaxing and enjoyable escape. Highly recommend!
• Joy (8/5): - Perfect for our one night stay with family.
• Melody (8/5): - Not a lot of food options in the restaurant for breakfast.
• Cynthia (4/5): - Just fine. Aircon is so noisy
• Reginald (8/5): - great staff. quiet place, relaxing
• Reginald (8/5): - very courteous , attentive staff.
• Pacita (10/5): - Pleasant staff
• David (10/5): - Ok
• Lerma (6/5): - The staff were friendly & accommodating! We enjoyed our stay here but I have to be honest, it would have been more enjoyable if the pool is clear. The pool was so cloudy, it looks dirty to me. The bathroom door knobs needs to be changed. Thank you.
• Glad Dyan (2/5): - Got an electric shock from the valve coming off the water heater. Staff did move my room. Bathroom had mildew. Restaurant was closed hours before staff stated. Other options in the area that are far superior. Happy I switched resorts.
• michael (10/5): - Good
• Ariel (8/5): - Ideal place for staycation
• Rodell (8/5): - The only things we notice is that they don't have a regular staff to clean the billiard area and fallen leaves on all the compound
• DOUGLASS (10/5): - Great facility!
• Verified traveler (6/5): - the place is ok but there are a lot of mosquitoes at night and during the day there are a lot of flies and why is their water sea water the difficulty then take a bath the viscosity in the body
• mariellegonz (8/5): Awesome weekend! - We celebrated my mom's birthday here. It was a very comfortable stay after hours of long drive from Manila :) Will definitely recommend to friends and family! Plus the staff are VERY accommodating and friendly. Thank you Villa Soledad! <3
• ilsoon (8/5): - 편안하고 친절한 리조트 다만 편의점은 멀고 안에 매점은 비싸요
• NORAMIE (8/5): thank you for your hospitality. - it was a rainy weekend but an enjoyable one. they let me invite other family members who lives in the area and celebrate birthday in one of their videoke rooms.
• EconomyWanderer (6/5): Summer vacation - It was a yearly activity we do. We find/book resorts with pool and beach front if possible. We were expecting a beachfront hotel, beach where you can really swim, but unfortunately you cannot here. But on the brighter side hotel is clean with a clean pool, friendly staff. Resto offers food, our accomodation comes with free breakfast, rooms come with toweks and basic toiletry. Tricycle we rented are a bit demanding. Please beware of the drivers there, they may not all the same but make sure to deal and choose friendly ones for tours.
• daveeR7691II (8/5): A home away from home - The place is warm and cozy, with a very calm and nice beach front that you can swim to. The staff are welcoming and accommodating. The food are a bit expensive though and you need a transportation to travel around because it is pretty much in the middle of Patar beach and Bolinao town proper. All in all we enjoyed our stay.
• John (10/5): - This is a very nice place. I will definitely stay there again. Very kid friendly !!!
• Ray@CA-USA (8/5): - Great location compared with other hotels nearby Room is clean but too small and out dated
• bellagambit (8/5): Sunrise and Sea breeze - We booked a room in room in Villa Soledad without high expectation as ours was a quick getaway and planning wasn’t even done. When we arrived at the resort, we were amazed of the simple beauty and tranquility it offers. Upon check in, we wandered around the resort. The place was a surprise - though not so extravagant but if you intend to relax and feel at peace, this is the go to place. Place is not crowded, considering it is a holiday we we went there. We decided to play billiards - other guests are enjoying activities such as basketball, volleyball and tennis. They have their own canteen/restaurant where you can enjoy eating any food of your liking - if you don’t brought in any food, like us. We ordered sinigang sa miso and halo halo for dinner and tapsilog and cornsilog with coffee for breakfast. Food is ok but we should have go out and try other restaurants nearby. You can also enjoy sunrise/sunset and take pictures of you and your loved ones at the beach for the resort is just across the beach. Overall experience is good.
• che_pasyal (4/5): not so... - My family and i were very excited with our long trip going to bolinao... took us 6 hours to reach bolinao from manila. but i was quite disappointed when we reached the resort. This is not exactly what we imagined and i thought i would give 5 stars like other advisors here.. well, i give 5 stars to the staff - they are so corteous. no comment about them. food in their restaurant are also yummy BUT you have to wait for at least an hour to be served. maybe it is really freshly cooked. tip : dont go there hungry. well, their free breakfast is kinda’ ok. typical breakfast. our room - quite small for 6. its difficult to move around. i think we were in their old building. phone aint working. fan busted. cel signal is sooooooo erratic or none at all. no wifi too. they said, they have it at information office - its a dummy i guess. its great for bonding though. take note: its not a “beachfront” resort... coz you still have to cross the road to go to the beach. and the beach infront of them is not swimmable at all! so we still went to a real beach front resort so we can enjoy the patar beach that everybody is talking about... that is around 10km away from villa soledad trees around the resort are full of signages. and big fatty mosquitoes are so rampant in the area so never forget to bring a repellant esp if u are with kids. amenities like the basketball, volleyball and table tennis are good add-ons. and i hope the management will change their mugs/cups that are chipped already.
• EveBarbosa (8/5): Friendly people and clean beach - Beautiful and clean beach, friendly staff. Simple breakfast, clean but small room.hotel. We will visit the place again, because we want to explore more places in Bolinao. Come and see Bolinao, people are friendly.
• katmenace (8/5): Great Stay - We stayed in Villa Soledad last Jan 4-6 2019 for our wedding anniversary and I'll say that it's worth the long travel. We booked the standard room which is good enough for 2 persons. It has the basics such as personal fridge, electric kettle and hot and cold shower. Unfortunately, they don't have a wifi and the room has poor signal, so you'll have to go outside your room if you need to check your emails or surf the net. Activity wise, the resort has almost everything. They've got swimming pools, basketball and volleyball courts, billiards and ping pong table. And they're just a few steps from the beach, so you'll never run out of activities here. They also have their own restaurant, however the menu's kinda pricey. Guests are allowed to bring their own meal, anyway. And if you need some utensils, you're free to borrow from the restaurant. The staff are all friendly and courteous as well, which is always a plus factor for me. Bolinao tourist spots and the bus terminals are also just several minutes away from the resort. Everything was great, no issues from the check-in til we checked out. Great stay, overall! :)
• mattusMD (8/5): A family resort - One of the oldest resorts in bolinao. The place is well-maintained by the friendly staff of the resort. It can accomodate a lot of visitors given its variety of rooms. It also has two swimming pools, a volleyball court, a basketball court, billiard tables, karaoke, a restaurant, spacious parking, and gazebos for those who want to swim on the beach. It is a few minutes away from patar beach and the center of town. The only downfall is that it has a lot of coconut trees so watch out for the falling coconuts.
• amyjose20 (8/5): relaxing vacation - Clean resort with large pools with different depth. Accomodating staff. kid friendly resort. The beach is just across the resort but not swimmable, though my kids enjoyed playing in the sand. a quiet place to to have a vacation with family. Not crowded and the property is huge with lots of plants and grass so kids can enjoy roaming around the resort.
• peachy3peach (8/5): Ok but pricey - The resort has wonderful and helpful staff. The swimming pool is a plus since the beach accross the road is not swimmable. The rooms are too small for four person, airconditioner is not cold enough that even if you open the electric fan it wont help in cooling the room. Suggest they change their airconditioners.
• DaveU80 (10/5): AMAZING Place To STAY Would Go Again - Stayed for 3 Days in December of 2017. Rented 2 rooms Very Nice Showers and Aircon. Very family friendly and the Staff Was Very Helpful. They helped direct us to the 100 Islands National Park. The pools at this hotel were great. I highly recommend for Family's. Meals were good as well. Garlic Rice was great!!
• yuri2882 (6/5): Arrogant security guard on duty - We are a family of three and booked a quad deluxe room. We have experienced an unacceptable treatment from their security guard on duty. We arrived at the resort around 5:30 am. The tricycle driver knocked on their entrance gate for a couple of minutes. Nobody answers. After a while, the guard responded but to our dismay, He didn't open the gate and talked to us from the other side ( didn't even talked to us face to face) told us to wait till 7 am. We asked him if we could wait inside because we have an 8 year old kid with us, that it's 5:30 am and still dark, But he said no. We waited on the side of the road for a couple of minutes. Good thing was that a hotel staff arrived in his motorcycle and let us in. We tried calling the number of the hotel, and inform the reception that we have arrived. We asked if they would allow us to check in early and they approved. Long story short, this hotel has great amenities, food was okay, other staff were accommodating except for their arrogant guard on duty at the time. I understand he is looking out for the resorts security but he must also need to learn how to deal with hotel guests with respect and compassion. And by the way, the reception lady apologized but the guard didn't. Could have been a great vacation if not for that guard mishap.
• krenbarry_25 (8/5): It never fails me! ❤️ - This is my 2nd time and it never fails me. The 1st time I saw this nagandahan talaga ako and my family.. ang ganda kasi dahil ang linis at nag paganda din dito yung mga puno na nasa paligid. And i love this kind of resort na ma nature ang dating it's relaxing. At hindi din crowded and at night ang tahimik kaya talagang nakaka relax. Saka super linis ng pool sa sobrang linis kitang kita mo yung katawan mo pag lublob mo sa tubig. And for the price it's worth it 😁
• willexplorephil (8/5): Great Quick Staycation in Bolinao - We had a relaxing stay. The food is good and the place is relaxing. The location is in the heart of Bolinao which is near the major attractions such as the lighthouse, caves, patar beach and rock formations. I will definitely go back with my friends! :)
• diorp59 (10/5): Great Vacation - We stayed here during our son’s sembreak. We stayed for 3 days and 2 nights. We stayed in their Junior suite with our 3 dogs. The place is super nice, super clean and their staff are super friendly. Our room looks like a condo with our own kitchen, dining, 2 beds, sofabed, shower and ref. Our room was really cold so it was really nice to just sleep in plus also has nice thick curtains so you wont be bother by sunlight. The resort is very near a lot of tourist spots like Enchanted Cave, Patar Public Beach, The LightHouse, and the Rock Formation. The resort also has 3 pools so you wont worry about overcrowding. The pools has slides and fountains, basketball court, tennis court, mini store, church and its beachfront so in case, you wanted to go for a quick at the beach, you can few steps outside the resort. The staff are also very friendly and they wanted to play with our dogs. During our first night, we had trouble with the tv and the shower, we reported it to their receptionist and they were able to fix it quickly. I would like to definitely come back. This resort is one of the best resort we had to stay in and the best part, we got to play with our son and with our 3 dogs.
• KawasakiaLarry (2/5): HOTEL FROM HELL - The hotel looked abandoned and gave the impression of the Bates Hotel. The 2 armed security guards gave some comfort. Had we listened to our inner voices and left, then tried to get some of our prepaid online reservation back, our stay at Bolinao would have been even more memorable. Upon getting to our room, which didn't have enough room to change your mind, let alone your clothes, I looked into the bathroom which had RAT CRAP on the toilet and floor. I went back to the front gate security guard (the only staff around ) and had him call the office person so I could get a new room. That took a lot of stressful negotiating as they would not refund my money because I booked online. Finally she upgraded us to another room which was lovely. Considering there were only 2 other couples that were looking at a room when we checked in I did not understand why there was so much drama in getting a room without RAT CRAP all over the room. The restaurant had a very limited menu selection and just below warm beer available at HIGH prices for the food. Upon checking out the security guard informed me there was an amount owing at the desk. They wanted $1,000.00php extra per night for the rat crap free room. Then I realized what the armed guards were for, not keeping unwanted individuals out, but guests in until they paid the EXTRAS tacked on by management. I ended up paying $500php per night extra so we could go down the road to a decent hotel where they actually turned on the pool filters to keep the water clean instead of having a surface skim of ??? to swim in.The area is lovely and worth travelling to, just DON'T stop at this rat trap of a hotel. There are other hotels with a pool just down the road for the same final cost per night that provide a clean comfortable room and DON'T hold you until you pay an EXTRA charge for a decent room.
• Ernest_05 (8/5): Comfortable Stay, a bit overpriced - Checked in at Villa Soledad August 2017 Good points: Amenities: 3 pools, among which is an adult pool that's 6 feet deep. Easily a must try after a day full of activities. Pool is clean and well maintained. Many other reacreational facilities, basketball / volleyball / badminton court, billards, darts, swings, videoke. Rooms: Based on reviews, there were complaints about the rooms. The rooms are indeed small (St. Anthony room, 3k per night, approx 10 square meters, queen-size bed, small cabinet, shower room). But blankets and bed is comfortable. Aircon cools well at low-cool option. Towels & Toiletries provided, bottled water, coffee, refrigerator, electric kettle. Shower room water is a bit salty. Hot & Cold Shower available. Beachfront: Rocky, lots of algae, but the entire horizon is beautiful (cool calm water amidst a clear blue sky). Not swimmable, but you can take a quick dip if you are feeling adventurous. Bad points: Restuarant: Food is costly (sinigang / sizzling is 300-400 for 2-3 pax, but the food itself is average and lacking in amount). Nearby food stalls are recommended (Mangunguna Seafood Bar & Grill, 800 meters away). Standard free breakfast of "-silogs" (Fried rice, egg, beef / tocino / Milkfish). Ambiance: On a typical weekend, expect it to be a bit noisy outside, especially for family outings with children or company outings (they have around 15 - 20 rooms capable of housing 2-5 pax per room). Misc: > No Wifi. Personal wifi works just fine (Globe). > Beware of falling coconuts > Resort staff: Did not confirm my initial downpayment of 50%. They just texted me a day before my arrival to ask if I'll go through with checking in. Medyo tamad magreply sa inquiries via text. The only time they sent me an SMS is to inform me of their BDO bank account number. >Cold reception, but hey, I checked in to make use of the amenities and comfortable bed, not to have warm welcomes. > Another comment I read from this site is that rooms were not cleaned on a daily basis. I think most resorts do not do this, since this is not a hotel. Once you lock your room and go through your daytime activities, the room stays locked until you return. You could request to have your room cleaned, but we never asked for that (stayed 3D2N only). Summary: Low end nipa huts for rent go for 800-1500 per night. Small resorts (having around 4-6 rooms only with no amenities) could easily go for 1500 to 2000. So for a price of 3000, I would recommend Villa Soledad. Small but comfortable rooms, wide variety of amenities, clean swimming pools, and happy, albeit noisy, ambiance make it a good choice. Just make sure to eat somewhere else! :)
• Vacation_Man_Mike (2/5): Exceptional Disappointing - I set my expectations low for this place, but somehow the hotel undershot even that low bar. I always like to start off with the positives of any property. The 2 pools at this hotel are pretty nice. They are large and nicely decorated. Unfortunately that's the only good thing I can think of for this hotel. Stayed here for 2 nights over a weekend. We were the only guests. Yes, that's right. There was no-one else at the resort other than staff. Upon checkin the front desk person looked shocked to see us. They didn't expect us. We had to prove we had a reservation which was not a very friendly way to start. After showing our confirmed booking we were allowed to check-in. One thing to note is we paid what I expect is full-rate (4800P per night). Ridiculous rate for this hotel. The rooms are really, really basic. The beds had a fitted sheet but no top sheet. Just a rough blanket.. The AC is a wall mount unit, not a split level unit. It could not cool the room more than a few degrees even in such a tiny room. Went to dinner at restaurant. The inside had no open windows. Lots of fans and AC units but the single person working there would only turn on 1 fan. It was super hot! It took more than 1 hour to get our food despite us being the only guests in the entire resort. Next morning we had "breakfast" which consisted of a choice of 4 food items and 2 drink choices. The beef tapa was 3 spoonfuls of "beef" and some rice. Ordered "coffee" and was served a package of instant coffee without even hot water or a cup. Staff were pretty unhappy. Not once did any say "hello". The funny thing about the pools is that literally every tree around the pools had a sign with some kind of rule printed on it. The rules varried from "No jumping" to "Do not pee in our pool". It was kind of oppressive to be surrounded by rules on every tree. Kinda like I image prison would be like without the pool. No WiFi in the rooms. Supposedly they have wifi in restaruant but it never worked for me. Upon checkout we were charged for breakfast despite that being included in our rate. Unfortunately our confirmation did not show it so we just payed the extra requested. Between the full nightly rate we paid and that we felt totally ripped off.
• batgurls (8/5): A user friendly resort - Our family recently revisited Bolinao June 11-13. This time around we stayed at Villa Soledad. The resort is not a beachfront property, it however owns a small elevated picnic area across the road by the beach. The shoreline is shallow & rocky with patches of sandy areas. Good for leisurely swim in the morning during high tides. Beach combers will enjoy walking around the reef at low tides. Great sunrise & sunset. We got a family room at the St. Mark building for 6pax with free breakfast. Accommodation was very basic, so with the furnishings. The room was a bit cramped & has a twin bed, 2-double decked beds, a personalized refrigerator, hot & cold shower, cable tv, towels & toiletries, water heater, bottled water, cups and instant coffee. It has another door exiting to the grilling & picnic area by the perimeter wall. Plus points were the various recreational facilities I.e. basketball & badminton courts, billiards, ping pong, swimming pools, playground & a detached karaoke hut by the far end of the pool; convenience store, restaurant & chapel ; lush vegetation, 24H security, clean & well maintained grounds, friendly & efficient staff, kept rooms. Good site planning.
• buffyl2014 (8/5): family friendly place - the staffs are polite. the resort had basic clean rooms. there are plenty of activities that you can do here. swim, table tennis, billiards, basketball etc etc. they even have a chapel. we were given the privilege for late check out like 2pm since we arrived (checked in) at 7pm. worth recommending this resort
