⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comfortable and Relaxing Stay at Maayo Hotel Argao We had a very good stay at Maayo Hotel in Argao. The hotel has a comfortable and relaxing vibe, with the beach nearby, which made the overall experience very pleasant. The pool was great, and we really liked the color combination and design of the room it gave the space a nice and welcoming feel. Breakfast was also great, and we enjoyed starting our mornings there. On our first night, we found the bed a little too firm for our preference, so we asked if there was anything that could be done. The staff were very kind and accommodating and added an extra mattress to make it more comfortable for us. We really appreciated their effort and had much better sleep on our second and third nights. The weather in Argao was very hot during our stay. We spent some days outside doing activities and running errands, while on Sunday we mostly stayed inside the property during the day to escape the heat. The hotel was a comfortable place to relax and cool down. The shuttle service was also very convenient, and we felt that the security was good throughout our stay. Overall, it was a comfortable and convenient stay, and we appreciated the friendly service and the effort the staff made to make our stay better. We would be happy to stay at Maayo Hotel again when visiting Argao.

My kids suffering from bed bugs.

I don't like that they dont have telephone and refrigerator on the room .It's kinda important for sure especially always hot in the Philippines feel disappointed and not happy.

The place was nice. The breakfast was good.

Our room floor is dirty. Greasy. The 2nd room, water was slow, the ac was not working well.

The hot shower is only working in small shower and while the hot shower is on , the lights in the room is glitching which hurts our eyes and we are supposed to rest because of a long travel but they fixing the room so we didn’t rest right away

I love the pool lighting during night and thr staff are great. Chill kaau ang pool igka gabie. I like their family room but ang mga double room kai needs updating. Thanks

La chambre et spacieuse et propre les lit confortable. Parfait pour une nuit de transition

Architecture and breakfast buffet

Nothing

ロケーションとプールは良かった。 部屋の中の内装は可愛い。 夜のライトアップもキレイ。

シャワーのお湯が出なかった。水もほとんど出なくてシャワーは諦めた。 チェックアウトの際、誰か他の人が食事した分を請求されて「私はホテル内で食事してない」旨を伝えたら確認のために時間がかなりかかった。結局払わずに済んだが、その辺りの管理はしっかりして不便がないようにしてほしい。

Loved this accommodation🥰

We loved everything

Zwembad is echt fantastisch. Vele zwembaden in de Filipijnen gezien maar er geen gebruik van gemaakt omdat het water mistig was. Dit zwembad is helemaal helder! En schoon.

De logeer gebouwen zijn uit staal opgetrokken. Dus erg gehorig. Sommige kamers roken muf. Heb ik dus ook geweigerd want muf associeer ik met schimmel.

The resort over all.

Nothing much.

Everything Very beautiful pool area and restaurant

Mattress was too hard

You gaurd at gate rudest person I ever met . Fire him useless . We went to wrong gate . Apparently for people who live there. Told me to back up told him im 83 not good at backing up can you open gate an I go around . He would not . Then he got rude because I said I not good at going backward . Then he told us to back to are country . I got out an he wanted to fight . Are you kidding me . I will tell all my friends not to go herein belive me my son owns three bars one in argao two in cebu will post how bad they . Then went to reception booked with bookin dot Com told me they not find my reservations. Since im old my son reboots a pays for everything. So I went to eco resort half your price an great pool .

Staff exceptional, friendly, respectful and efficient. Entrance security guard. Buggy transport within the resort, very welcome transporting suitcases to and from room, and to avoid walking in searing heat. Rooms clean and spacious. Superb television with netflix, youtube and prime, great films, great reception. Shower clean and efficient. Courteous room cleaning / supply staff every morning, would clean whole room and replace bedding if required, or just deliver plenty of bottled water, towels, toiletries etc. with a smile. Breakfast very good, designated building by accommodation very convenient. Food and drinks available throughout the day at the restaurant. Evening restaurant meals good, periodic evening outside buffets very good. Some evening musician entertainment by restaurant. Resort spacious and well laid out and designed, buildings attractive, a touch of spanish colonial style. Exceptional seaview pool, warm and open at night illuminated with multiple colour changing lights. Poolside food and drink service until 10.00pm. Toilets / changing / showers near pool. Was easy to extend stay.

External facades of room buildings in need of some TLC. Most appear to be built with wrought iron structures which are rusting. Room partitions very thin, so could hear noise from loud TV / discussions in adjoining room, not good, Vertical shower pipe detached from wall, just part of the TLC which is likely needed soon. External air conditioning units at the rear of our accommodation, with aluminium or similar hoods, one above the other on three floor levels, with continous irritating dripping / at times cascading water noise in our room due to condensation (and rain) water falling from the upper unit down on to the hood below, then down on to our hood, since we were on the ground floor, was disturbing. Poolside beach reached by steps very disappointing, simple a dirty pebble / rock strewn area under water at high tide, with much debris brought in, no proper sand beach to relax on, When we were there the sea turned a murky brown due to eroded land being carried into it by the Argao river in consequence of episodic rain floods (global warming!) not of course a matter under the control of the resort.

Dinner Buffet was good plus entertainment.

Breakfast spread was too limited.

Grounds were nice.

The rooms are noisy like metal boxes. Heard the tv in the next room all night. Heard the conversations of the neighbors through the walks. Heard every step outside. Awful!

Die Lage des Resorts ist perfekt, es war alles so schön sauber. Das Essen war vorzüglich und die Location wunderschön. Und vom Personal brauchen wir erst gar nicht anfangen, Filipinos eben: freundlich und 100% zu empfehlen

everything

nothing

Lots of greenery. Close to my wife’s family. Large pool. Good restaurant. Rooms were reasonably nice for that area. Linens were clean and well appointed. Breakfast was enjoyable. The customer service was excellent. People were very friendly and helpful.

Pool was dirty, algae growing in corners and around the water jets. The beds are extremely hard.

The serenity of the place is the most I like. Even the set up of the hotel is not that easy to access going to the reception, restaurant, pool and back to the room but it's good to walk especially in the early morning..very peaceful and breezy..staff are very kind and accommodating. The breakfast was good. We had a wonderful stay. Thank you.

The grounds are stately. The view beautiful. Rooms are clean and beachy decor. If they updated grout in shower it would look perfect. Food was delicious. Relaxing , serene resort

very relaxing

The food was bad no taste on there and to greasy think that have to find a new cook who can cook Swimming pool to fare away from sleeping place

Staff are awesome very dedicated and motivated

Clean, cool place to stay

Long wait for the shuttle service

Pool, reception, Dome, food

The reception/pool is very far from the room. Very inconvenient as we have a toddler and a senior citizen. Shuttle is NOT ALWAYS AVAILABLE. OPINION: NOT A GOOD STYLE TO HAVE THE ENTRANCE OF THE RECEPTION TO HAVE THE SAME ENTRANCE OF YOUR TENT EVENT PLACE. Example: What if there is an event going. Then the guest is done with swimming. The guest will use the same Route pathway going to the shuttle drop off. The place has NO TELEPHONE and its very inconvenient to get help or information from the reception. WIFI: With your Rate, WIFI should be sufficient for guest. PET: there is NO notice provided that you will be paying for bring your PET. STAFF: it looks like MAAYO ARGAO is lacking with Staff.

I loved the pool area with the view over the sea and the open dining area which cozy and relaxing.

The distance between the rooms and the pool

For what we paid for, it was disappointing. There was absolutely no water pressure when taking showers, no fridge in the room, not much vegetarian options. The staff and cleanliness overall were nice, the pool and the views were fantastic. Easily walkable to town.

nothing

Very quite location away from the hassle and dassle of city stays. Swimming pool was great and clean

Too many tripping hazards from staircase to corridor to room landing. Did not make up room even if tag was in the door as instructed. Not 24hrs reception service so after hours nowhere to ask for more towels.

The room is spacious and the staff are accomodating and friendly.

The room lighting could have been a little brighter specially in the living/dining area. Overall everything is good

Location is quiet.

friendly, happy helpful staff, went out of their way to help us, we appreciated this greatly

Nothing particular I had control of.

Beautiful place and secluded , staff were very courteous

Needs more towel rack for a family room , only 2 for 4 occupancy room , needs to provide Hand towel and a bigger towel rug

I liked the room, it's very comfortable and spacious. We booked family room which has 3 beds. pool is amazing, had to walk to the pool area but they also have a very efficient shuttle.

The room rate was good for 4 adults and 2 kids, however we were asked to pay for my 11 yo child in the property

Location was perfect. You could see the sea. But had the comfort of the swimming pool, because we have small children. We tried to go to the sea nearby but it was tide and windy, so dangerous for the kids. We arrived early so no room ready but we could get towels and make use of the pool. There's a changing room with showers and toilet near the pool. It was clean, all working and tidy. We brought our own snacks so that was nice. The theme of the hotel was gorgeous. We got a family room, divided in 2 connecting bedrooms. All proper, good working aircon, good beds and ammenities. You can hear some of the neighbours but not annoying and if you use earbuds for sleep you can sleep easily. The shuttle bus was quickly, mostly in the neighbourhood so you can hop on. Personel was friendly. They will update you by cellphone (if you have a local number) if there's some changes, like a notify that there will be a short shortcut of electricity. Easy relaxing place to be! Totally recommand it.

Some more shades in the form of trees. Or sunbed with attaching beach umbrella. The shades by the tables were perfect. But it was to hot to walk around at the garden.

Området rundt poolen er veldig bra, men standard rom er ikkje noko å skryte av. Dør mellom romenene, veldig lytt ,de luktet urin i rommet

No Landline / Service phone in each room

Breakfast is great with good customer service as well as there restaurant. The pool is amazing and overall our stay is great.

Yes, super nice!

Small beds

Well, I would definitely stay there again. The rooms are good. The food is okay. It was SO nice getting breakfast at the restaurant just next door to our rooms. Not much selection, but eggs, bacon, toast, and coffee are good enough to get my day going. The pool was heavily. Lots of things on the main menu are not in stock. Otherwise, there’s nothing to compare in Argao. For around $50 a night, it’s a good value. Thank you Angel for your patience. Yes, the staff is the star of this property.

Great place to spend precious moments and capture memories with family and friends! Maayo Hotel exceeded our expectations. We came from Houston and tired from a very long plane ride and we were welcomed by Wennie at the front desk. She checked us in smoothly! Angel also helped us with our accommodations on the second shift. They both served us with a smile! The hotel design is picture perfect! The resort pool is beautiful. The entire crew are super friendly and so kind and sincere. We felt right at home. Our 10 day stay is amazing! We are coming back! Everyday at breakfast, we are greeted by the first shift crew supervisor Manfred along with his team Jay, Ryan, chef Roel who made the best tomato soup. Chef Danilo and chef RJ are simply amazing, made the best sisig and chop suey! At lunch time, we get our food service from Jay, Francis, Regirl, Arvie, James, Clayford, Paul, Jay and Wilmar. Jay makes the best Margaritas! Wilmar makes the best Bahama Mama! Shuttle service to the pool area is always available, Casiano and Virgilio are always there to ensure we get our rides and not to be walking. He always checked on us and offer a ride to avoid the severe heat outside. Coming from Houston, the temp is not that different, we prefer walking. Yes Houston is hot and humid. Thanks also to the housekeepers who always checked on us if we need cleaning service. Thank you Kearn, Juabert and Rhodil. You are all very hardworking. On our last day, had to check out really early, Jay and Manfred made sure we get our breakfast ordered and ready by 5:00AM. Manfred came and delivered our to go boxes! Thank you Jovelyn for carrying my luggages outside as our driver was already waiting! From checking in to checking out, Maayo Hotel maintained the high quality service! Thank You!

Excellent. Was very surprised how good this was.

Loved all of the venue.

Staff was great, pool was great and the view nice. However, for a foreigner this is not the place to go. The rooms were terrible. Your room is in a three-story building and anytime anyone in the building opens or shuts a door or walks around in their room you can hear it like a drum throughout the whole property making it hard to sleep. Also, anytime they’re dropping off passengers you can hear the reverse beeping of the shuttle. The walls are paper thin so you can hear your neighbor talking and WORSE of all the bed is a little mat on top of a boxspring. Literally feels like you’re sleeping on the floor The floor outside my bathroom was on the third floor was starting to cave in. So the construction is very very cheap. Did not sleep at all Definitely not a luxury hotel.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Great pool and pool area. Restaurant food was very good. This was our second stay here. Only two negatives during our one week stay: Breakfast at the cafe was the same every morning and the walls were not sound proof enough.

The Staff wa so friendly and helpful!

Bed was comfy. Staff were all friendly and accommodating. Food was delicious. The pool was very clean.

It’s not something I dislike but just a suggestion to maybe have a mini ref in the room. My mom needs to inject insulin each night and it has to be kept in a low temp place.

The location close to the sea. The pool. The friendly staff. The facilities.

When showering the water was either cold (shower head in the ceil) or very hot (the removalable shower head). It was a challenge to take a shower because of this.

Awkward setup

Pool was sooooo cold. There was no phone to order water or room service

Property has a great infinity pool overlooking the sea. Staff is very friendly and professional. Rooms were clean and quiet. Instant coffee and tea are included in the room with hot water kettle. Property has shuttle from main pool and other guest facilities to the rooms if not staying on main grounds.

The place was quite and peaceful.

Wifi is not working good thing we have our own netflix and data.

It is situated on a big property next to the ocean with a nice large swimming pool. Very scenic. The American breakfast was good. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

The plumbing in the bathroom leaked & there were tiny ants crawling around near the coffee pot. There was a strong smell of mildew in the room.

Our stay was excellent except that they have no landline to reach the front desk. It waw raining and we had to walk to the front desk to reach them. We wanted to swim that night but the staff said that the pool lights were broken. Other than that, we had an excellent stay. We would stay in Maayo again. We love the pool!!!
