Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Good view over the bay. Hotel is right by the water.
There is no minibar. There's just a refrigerator. Kettle cord is much too short to get from cupboard to socket.
Location was good, hot and cold shower, sheets and towels were changed and room was cleaned regularly, the view was nice breakfast was ok could be better and consistent, some of the staff were friendly and accommodating.
Mozzies inside the room despite the doors being closed all the time. Wanted to charge us extra for bringing food we ordered from the Jollibee across the property that we wanted te eat at the dining area since there are no tables and chairs inside the room, they actually advised we eat inside the room instead which we'd most likely make a mess on the clean sheets and get charged more rather than allowing is to properly enjoy our meal at the dining area where no other guests are around. Mind you were paying over 9k to stay there for the amount of days we stayed yet still wanted to charge us for a little meal we wanted to enjoy properly with a table. Ended up eating in the room that has no proper table and chair. The first breakfast we had we asked for an extra chocolate milk along with an iced pineapple juice for one meal and was not charged, the following morning we asked for the same thing however the other lady said its an additional charge for the hot chocolate, so be consistent with what you offer.
とても静かで居心地は満足。 朝食も美味しかった。
WI-FIが弱いかな.... その他は満足出来ました
We really had mixed opinions of this resort. Outwardly it is very well kept… but the staff seem to not care about simple details. The staff is friendly and helpful when asked. The pool area and the general areas are very well kept.
*No one came to clean our room or to even ask if we wanted room service. *The safe is operated by a key… which means they keep a copy and have access. *Staff seems to is on their phones or just walk around aimlessly… even when it’s clear that there are things to done. People finish eating and the staff doesn’t clear their table, dirty light fixtures, broken/warped overhead fan. *The bed was super firm… some people like that I guess. *At checkout the front desk person didn’t have the info for GCASH so we had to wait around till she contacted someone to else for the info.
The ocean view, especially from the pool was incredible. The bed was very comfortable. The staff was wonderful as well. The location was great. Only a short distance to white beach one way and places like Tamaraw falls and the mangroves in the other direction.
The property is listed as beachfront, but it's a very dirty area. The "hot" tub was ok but the water was cold most times.
Clean, tidy and lovely pool with a view to the bay. Very quiet
No internet available at the time we were there
What what do you think about the property that it was very safe inconvenience everything in allow me to visit with the locals. I wasn’t feeling well one morning and the staff was all over it. He was able to take my blood pressure to assure that I was doing fine anything and everything that I requested or ask for was provided. There wasn’t an iron so they had a staff iron my outfit so I have something to wear, I left resort feeling like I was part of the family.
Great pool. Clean, filtered. Spa jets were great. Great resturant. Overlooked the ocean. Very serene. $80 a night is good value. But normal price of. $160 is excessive
Very beatiful private location, isolated from the main highway. Decent parking for cars. There are nice rooms second floor with spectacular view of the cove. The restaurant is nice but has a limited menu. Will be my regular stay on my travels To Manila.
This hotel is nicely build. It has electricity generator to compensate for public network failures. The staff is effective. The room has real windows that can be opened. Active ventilation from the bathroom. There are some minor technical problems that could be easily solved by more attentive supervision. Restaurant is good. Included breakfast is good with some choice. The hotel is on the beach and beaten by the waves at high tide. The beach itself can be used but does not have clear water, wind is onshore (in March).
Nothing
Location is awful next to busy main road surrounded by debris and odourous collapsing workshops. Dead dog on the beach outside the hotel which was greeted with a shrug of the shoulders. Room described as deluxe was small with no outside view excepting a wall, all windows were filthy. It was so bad that we had to inform them that there was no way we were going to stay there. Upsetting really as this has to go down as the worst review I have ever given by a long way. The hotel was empty when we arrived, and soon I realised why.
Highly recommended to our friends
I gave the resort five stars, but I would give the weather one star. The room was very nice. Nice bed and pillows. We had a nice water view. The staff was great. Very helpful and accommodating. They apologized repeatedly for the large party of government officials that were there for their Christmas party and were loud later onto the night, but they really weren’t an issue. It was fun listening to the band and enjoying their festivities. The beach wasn’t great. Partially because there was a lot of wind and rain coming from the east, which unfortunately collected on their beach. Nice pool overlooking the bay. Food was good, but we ate out a lot. HL grocery and Bimbolis Italian were good. Badladz good for pedicure and GREAT massage.
Morgenmaden var for enkelt.
Awesome!!
Very nice place, wonderfull pool & restaurant.
Internet wifi and cable were spotty.
Staff were very friendly and rooms were clean. Bathroom very nice.
The food and drink wasn't very well stocked so they ran out of some items for breakfast
The courtesy of the staff and willingness to help us find my lost eyeglasses.
Everything was good. They need to work on the satellite connection a bit, but otherwise all was great.
Nothing
Location is great near everything. Place is clean and everything is functional.
Hidden charges. Overcharging, they will bleed you dry. Upon check in receptionist is asking for extra 600 pesos for my 3 year old kid. I booked for me and and my kids which are 5 and 3 year old. Booking.com clearly indicates that both children are included in the booking. I insist that I am not paying and eventually they agreed. Receptionist wasnt very friendly. They also charge 10% of booking amount to check in early. In our case was 320 pesos at we have the deluxe room worth 3,200 pesos although i paid more with booking.com. The place was empty and still refused us to check in early without paying. We were there at 12 noon. Lady at the restaurant is nice. However when i invited my mother, brother and nephew to join us for mother’s day breakfast, my brother and nephew then went to swim at the pool after. To my surprise upon check out, they are charging additional 600 peses per kid for swimming at the pool for 2 hrs!!!! 1,200 pesos. This was not informed at all that additional charge will be billed for outsiders swimming at the pool. When I complained the manager is not even apologetic and told me that if everyone will eat and dine and swim then the whole place will be full of outsiders. I told them that if you would have informed me then I shouldnt have ask my brother and nephew to come over for breakfast and swim with my children. The manager is very arrogant and unapologetic. it was mother’s day! the whole day was ruined. The whole experience was ruined. Manager insist that its hotel policy but when asked what policy anf where was it written she could not show anything.
A very beautiful place to be. Staff were lovely. A very relaxing time.
Would have liked a hand towel in the bathroom. No tea or coffee in our room.
Close to Puerto Galera Centre
The water pressure dropped therefore no hot water when most needed
Fantastic ocean front property. First class pool and facilities. Really enjoyed the two night stay.
good and friendly staffs. i recommend to all.
Nirvana Resort is a lovely place to stay and relax whilst in puerto galera. The resort and the rooms are all finished to high standard and very well maintained. Thorough cleaning everyday stands out as does the cheerful and helpful service from the team at Nirvana. Food is very good, breakfast and dinner extensive menu for all tastes. We will return to Nirvana if we are in puerto galera in future.
My husband and I were looking for a place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and we found the perfect place. Resort was clean, well kept and staff was very friendly. The food at the restaurant was great, we ordered Bistek and their signature battered fried chicken , both were cooked to perfection. Will definitely be back with our grown kids , they will love the infinity pool overlooking the beach.
The hotel meet my expectation as a whole.
its clean and well maintained
The location is quite far from the tourist centre and the food is over priced
The breakfast portion is small
The rooms are clean
Breakfast was good...
We request for clean up room but no avail for the fact that we are the only guest in the hotel no tea and the bottled water was not enough
Staff was very friendly and accommodating though I was unable to check in just 15 minutes early. Food was very good but a bit pricey. Appreciated breakfast and ferry terminal shuttle bus service included in nightly rate. Pool is great, but it closes a bit early, and the ocean view is gorgeous. Just a short tricycle ride away from convenience stores, bakeries, etc. Went to White Beach by tricycle as well. Safe and quiet place to stay.
Everything is fine but we didn't enjoy much because of the typhoon.
great freshly cooked breakfast included . The room had a amazing sea view , we almost felt like the look out of window of a cruise ship ... staff was very helpful in anyway
Nothing to complain , being there in rainy season we had the place almost to ourself , so cool we felt very privileged ... hopefully we make it back to Puerto Galera for another time , for anyone not wanting the hustle and bustle of crowded beaches this place is a gem , and so close to town
Clean and nice hotel.
Good 👍 value
We had fun with the infinity pool and the overlooking the seashore. We enjoyed the complementary breakfast. The staff were accommodating. It was an experience.
Breakfast was good.
What a wonderful place to stay. Everyone was excellent and the food amazing.

Nothing
It was great! Staff are nice and the place is clean
nicely located, not far from town.
Water in the shower stagnates for a while before it gets emptied.
This place is wonderful and we absolutely loved it. The first night we stayed in a room with a beach view, but the waves crashed up on the sea wall all night and we didn’t sleep well even with ear plugs. Asked to be moved to a quieter room and we slept much better. However, they charged us the same rate we paid for the beach view as the new room with a smaller bed and a view of the parking lot. We loved the new room, but we’re surprised the price was not less. Otherwise this place is really lovely and the location was great for walking to the grocery store and local town. Plus many Tuk Turks to take us everywhere.
Always great service, friendly and accommodating. Rooms are modern and well kept. Thank you everyone at nirvana
Good choices for B'fast, good TV and WiFi. Great ocean view, lots of attention to small details.
The weather, cloudy rainy days. That's the way it goes.
Hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. The rooms were modern and clean. Food at the hotel was excellent. Great view!
The hotel room was very clean. The breakfast was excellent. The property location is in a quiet area of town…sitting by the pool was serene. It’s also a safe area of the town and close enough to walk to some local restaurants. There’s a big grocery store across the street that will open in September 2022. April and her staff members were fabulous.
It was excellent

What guests love
Areas to consider
Cleanliness
8.1/10Generally clean: sheets and towels changed and rooms cleaned regularly in several reports; public areas and pool described as well kept. Some guests noted a dirty beachfront area and one report of no room cleaning for a stay, so cleanliness is mostly good but not flawless.
Service
7.9/10Mixed service: staff described as helpful, polite and wonderful by multiple guests, but also inconsistent—some staff inattentive or on phones, inconsistent charging practices and occasional lack of follow-through (e.g., delays at checkout). Overall service leans positive but has notable reliability issues.
Location
9.4/10Location is a standout: right by the water with excellent ocean and bay views, pool overlooks the sea, and short distances to white beach and local attractions. The beachfront area itself was described as dirty by one guest, but location and views remain a primary strength.
Room Quality
7.5/10Rooms are mixed: some guests found the bed very comfortable while others found it overly firm. Issues noted include no minibar (only a refrigerator), short kettle cord, mosquitoes inside rooms, and limited in-room furniture (no proper table/chair in some rooms).
Amenities
8/10Strong amenities such as an infinity pool and well-kept public areas; however, some amenity shortcomings were noted (hot tub often cold, weak Wi‑Fi, safe operated by a physical key, limited dining seating). Overall amenities are good but with specific gaps.
Value for Money
7.2/10Perceived value is below average for some guests: one guest explicitly mentioned paying over 9k and being unhappy with extra charges and limitations (e.g., being asked to pay for brought-in food, inconsistent complimentary items). Good views and facilities help value but inconsistencies hurt it.
Food and Beverage
7.9/10Breakfast described as tasty by some but 'ok' and inconsistent by others; staff gave complimentary items inconsistently (hot chocolate charged one day but not another). Limited dining area seating caused complaints when guests wanted to eat deliveries.
Overall Experience
8.8/10Overall a positive stay driven by excellent views, pool and helpful staff at times — guests enjoyed the quiet and scenery. The experience is moderated by service inconsistencies, some room and amenity issues, and occasional cleanliness/maintenance concerns.
