A Villas Resort & Restaurant

Property has some construction, but well maintained. Staff and Food were good.good value

Next to the ocean but reallly swim, good thing they have a pool.

La gentillesse de tout le personnel Le confort de la chambre

スタッフさんが素敵でした♪ 最高の思い出になり 素晴らしい体験をありがとうございました。 毎日プールに入り子供用に浅いとこもあり 安心でき、リラックスにはめちゃくちゃ オススメです。 ドゥマゲッティからは結構多いので移動するとなると大変になりますがまたドゥマゲッティ行ったきとは泊まりにいきます。

お菓子の持ち込みが出来ないのは子供がいると不便です。

Such a relaxing stay in Zamboanguita. Room facilities were so thoughtful it had everything you need & the staff were very welcoming. I regret that I only had 2 nights in the area, I highly recommend A Villas! They had sweet dogs

None

Locatie, de rust, het uitzicht en het personeel

Geen warme douche en dunne handdoeken

La tranquillité du lieu, le dévouement du personnel et l'initiative de nous aider dans chaque déplacements effectuée. Les repas était un délices. La piscine un moment détente. Et si le coeur nous le disait la plage à 2 pas. Nous avons été traitées comme des reines .

Rien à part le bruit de la mer.

Équipement vieux, pas de pression dans la douche. Pas de draps pour le lit, nous avons été obligé de les réclamer, le jardin ressemblait à un terrain vague avec en prime crottes de chiens. Nous avons fait la sortie sur Apo Island avec l’hôtel, bien plus cher que si nous avions réservé sur place. Leur bateau est vieux, bruyant, le personnel sans aucune attention. Les dîners sont à commander en milieu d’après-midi et, bien que présentant une carte, les choix sont très limités, le petit déjeuner à commander la veille et compris seulement en partie. Les voisins sont bruyants (musique forte). La plage n’est qu’une rocaille pleine de déchets, impossible de s’y baigner. La piscine est sale (grasse en surface). Nous étions remontés, je comprends pourquoi !

Great rooms and delicious breakfast Very friendly staff who is willing to help with everything We forgot one of our bags in Dumaguete and the owner went there personally to get it Very relaxing vibes, directly on the beach

It is pretty remote from everything, but for us it was great We took the family room and a double room ( big family). The family room was great, but the double room had weird smell (probably mold)

Ухоженная территория, приятный персонал. Охраняемая парковка. Красивый вид у бассейна.

К сожалению, место сильно разочаровало. Вроде находится на пляже, а пляжа, как такового, нет. Ну, точнее, он есть, но в него сливаются сточные воды, он полон камней и очень очень грязный. Прогуляться по нему не получится. На территории отеля висит несметное количество запрещающих табличек. Создается впечатление, что ты в какой-то колонии проживаешь, а не в отеле. Можно же было сделать 1 плакат и перечислить на нем все правила проживания? Думаю, да. Запрет на пронос еды и напитков, приобретенных вне отеля, удивляет. С таким сталкиваемся впервые за долгие годы путешествий. Давайте поразмыслим, почему? Скажем, у вас в ресторане не подают столь замечательные завтраки, чтобы мне захотелось там обедать и ужинать. А бар у вас в 10 вечера уже закрыт. И что мне делать? Вокруг нет мест, где можно вкусно поесть. Сам отель, по сути, находится в глуши, и поехали мы в него только ради близости к месту, откуда стартуют лодки на остров Апо. Так что этот запрет выглядит крайне странным. Типа, ешьте, что дают, и только. А я хочу иметь выбор. Одно из самых больших и громких неудобств (уж простите) - ребенок хозяев, проживающий на территории отеля и создающий такое количество шума, что периодически приходилось прерывать работу (езжу с ноутбуком, в номере рабочее место организовать нельзя, работать приходилось в лобби). Как уже было сказано, подтверждаю, что площадь номеров сильно преувеличена. Наш номер был размером с кровать + меньше метра в каждую из 3 сторон. Площадь ванной такова, что там действительно сложно разместиться вдвоем.

Vue sur mer et Accès direct (même si la qualité de l'eau semble limite pour la baignade) Facile d'accès depuis Dumaguete en bus ou taxi. Proche de Malatapye pour embarquer vers Apo Island

Comme tout aux Philippines, il faut s'attendre à des manques, des différences... Parfois mal justifiés, mais il faut faire avec. Exemple : petit déj payé, mais pour avoir un petit dej type "Américain" il faut payer un supplément. La carte des diners est complète, mais pas les réserves, donc souvent limité en choix. Même chose pour les horaires, on vous demande à quelle heure le Diner, mais au final on vous impose l'heure .... Mais dans l'ensemble, bel établissement

What a perfect little resort with super nice and accommodating staff. Cozy room with a nice view next to the beach with a nice reef a short walk away, and great food which can be very hard to find. The Ceres Liner Bus route runs very frequently down the highway in front of the hotel so transportation anywhere you want to go is very easy. Shower was as hot as you could ever want it and Internet was also fast which has been a very difficult find for me anywhere in Negros. Was able to work remotely with no issue.

Bed could have been a little more comfortable but that seems to be a common issue everywhere you travel in the Philippines so can't really complain too much about this one.

The view, the pool, the staff

Nothing!

Beautiful pool and view. The room was clean. Owner was helpful

It is difficult to get to without transport. There is a bus that stops opposite or you have to get a tricycle.

The resort is amazing! Great pool, very clean, facilities amazing. Minibar fridge, comfy bed. The staff is great, very acommodating, their chef cooks delicious traditional filipino dishes. Definitely try the ceviche (kinilaw) and the pork sisig. We had an awesome stay.

Nothing

The facilities and room was very clean and the staff very accommodating. Very scenic and relaxing. Our meals were good and really appreciated the staff being flexible with our food selections.

Liked everything.

We stayed here for 6 nights and I can highly recommend it. Staff is very friendly! Good food. Nearby the beach and had a nice pool.

Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Our room near the beach was so clean and comfortable, the beach had a nice sunset, not many people because it was a holiday so it was very peaceful, and the food was great too. It was the perfect place to propose to my girlfriend. Thank you!

The mosquitos especially because my blood type is their favorite 😅 But it's okay because we mostly stayed indoor during the night 😁

The complimentary breakfast is good. It comes with fresh fruits and coffee. You don't need to order coz it serves big meal already. They also have different selection if you prefer something that is not complimentary.

I like everything in this place. I wish I could stay more longer.

Great ambience. Heartwarming welcome. Clean and comfortable. Nice amenities.

La vue mer la piscine le resto bon

Lit d’appoint pas de pression dans la douche mais à disposition un sceau avec une cup

A Villas is a wonderful place to relax. The staff is the best!

Nothing.

Quiet. Guard up able to let me in through the gate late at night. The terrace room is right next to the ocean to hear the waves. Be prepared for quite a bit of mosquitoes though, the ones here are fairly slow and easier to catch.

Clean

No elevator

The place was very relaxing, the pool was clean, the staff were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the food they prepared for us. Thanks, A Villas. 💚

The water pressure in the bathroom was low.

The room with a terrace is located in front of the beach. Nice sunrise. Very quiet place. The food was good. The staff was nice. Even if we arrive early (11pm) our room was ready.

More shade around the pool would be nice.

*The staff are friendly and accommodating. *The resort & room is clean. *Plenty of towels & room slippers. *The food is good and well prepared.

The T&B floor is slippery. I think non-slip floor mat could be added.

Almost 30 years visiting the Philippines from New York, I’ve stayed at every type hotel/resort. A Villas is not a cookie cutter western style commercial hotel. It’s a small local hotel with a beautiful pool overlooking the Sea. At waterfront on both sides is a fishing village with wonderful families who I interacted with everyday, was invited to their parties, and invited to go fishing with them. All of this is the flavor of the Philippines. I don’t fly 9,000 miles to stay in a western type resort. 22 days at A Villas is a treat, understanding the culture. Many poor people, but I’ve never met more humble or happier people anywhere in the world. I stayed in the cottage (only 1) at waters edge, a/c, modern, clean, and I open my door and interacted with the fishing village folks everyday, who treated me like one of their own. It’s not a 3,4,5 Star Hilton, but it’s a wonderful experience. I actually became self appointed pool skimmer/cleaner everyday. Staff set the skimmer out for me daily. Staff got me a new scooter that I rented for $10.- day, and will be continuing this reveal for another week. I married my wife in the Philippines 29 years ago, she had to return to USA earlier than me. I’m very familiar with the Philippines. This offers the flavor of a local Philippine resort. I’ll be back. There will be a little culture shock for some, for sure, but there’s so much to be gained from this local hotel. Vincent/New York

Day 1,2,3 there are surprises, but they slip away as the staff helps you become comfortable. Except for cottage and the family type room, rooms are small, but very clean. No protection from sun in the beautiful pool, so one learns what hours to not be sitting in the pool. These things all the local folks already know.

Location was great, close to fast food and convenience stores, excellent little neighborhood and super affordable offerings

Staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms are very clean Food is excellent

Beach was very rocky and you have to go down a stairs to access the ocean.

Everything is just right at this place: The view, the pool, the room, the beach, the whole resort and including the price, all just right. An "especially" goes to the food, everything we ordered was delicious! Most of all: the staff, very friendly and super accommodating! Our kids loved the place. We all had a great time!

Privacy related to the booked room, personal service and nice sunset views.

The staff was wonderful. They are very supportive and friendly. The food is good but not that exceptional. Rooms are clean and organized.

We had a leaking water faucet, and the water pressure was unpredictable. But not a big deal.

It was clean but other than that, it was not pleasant, water supply is very low.

The initial staff (long hair middle age woman) at the reception very rude, we booked 2 rooms in booking.com and 1 more room in a different app, we availed the free breakfast offer 3 rooms in total 1 family and 2 regular rooms, we have kids with us obviously its a family get away. When we checked in to my surprised, kids not included in the bfast which is not the usual standard when you book for free breakfast, so I complained because it was not mentioned in the offer that only adults gets the bfast! She is really pushing thats their policy, she consulted with the owner and even the owner advised to refuse my check in if I will not agree!!! We drove hours to get to the location with my 3 families, my brother and sister’s family. Imagine the horror that they have the power to refused even if I have fully paid the 3 rooms. We end up agreeing on no bfast for kids just so they will not refused, I was so furious, I never imagined this resort is so arrogant to refused just because of their hidden policy!

Staff were really accommodating and helpful. Food was great as well.

The water pressure on the sink was a bit weak.

A Villas is in a great location and accommodated our entire group. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The food was authentic and delicious (dinner & complimentary breakfast). We also enjoyed the pool.

Friendly staff

Need more pressure on water for showering.

A good place. You can retire on the beach. It is not crowded. Consider yourself your own beach. Near Malatapai beach you can get to Apo Island.

Location

Foul odour at the terrace.Bed is spring, pillows not comfy.beach not clean

Rooms 2, 3, 4, & 5 - very clean, very organised, impressive interior design, well-equipped with essentials, very comfortable beds, and we felt secure inside these rooms and the property in general Swimming pool - clean and well-maintained, adequate size, comfortable water temperature, considerate depth level for all heights of the guests, convenient location from the rooms Location of the resort - very easily accessible because it’s along the national highway and near local shops Staff - very friendly and professional staff who are accommodating of our requests Food - free breakfast is delicious and nutrionally balanced, dinner food was also good

Beach in front of the resort was dirty along the shore and not conducive for swimming Korean fried chicken was a bit off due to the very sticky texture of the sauce that made eating quite inconvenient The shower water pressure was not powerful and the drain in the shower area of room 5 is very slow; the floor is flooded with water up to 1-2 inches after each shower.

I love the ambiance of the resort, it’s very intimate. Great for couples. The pool is very accessible and the beach is near too. I also love that their TV have access to Netflix and YouTube. You would also love their employees, very accommodating. These are the reason we stayed at the resort for 4 times now.

Their food is not bad but availability could improve. And more option for snacks.

The remote bungalow within a few feet of the beach.

Limited menu items in the restaurant. But what we had over the 2 night stay was outstanding.

We were in unit 1 by the beach. Nice location.

Well, the unwelcome, and even imposing feeling we got from the moment we arrived. "Can't park there, it's owner only" A laminated list of rules including restaurant closing at 7pm, maid service available from 9-2pm. The first day of 4, they forgot to clean our room, and after the second day of no maid service I asked for a refund. It was not until then that they sent the girl to clean, replace towels, water and coffee. The third day no maid service either. If they are running a hostel or residence I would understand, but it is not. Much better service at Kavs and Kookoos Nest, and for less money. Also, had an ant problem in the room, and a sore back from a mattress that was wore out a long time ago.

Nice clean room with a perfect view.

Well nice hotel ( don't really call this Resort). Many restrictions and not especially good food what can be a problem for some people, because it's far from the town and is forbidden to order anything like food and drinks from outside. The beach is absolutely useless. ( low dirty water and sharp stones ) The swimming pool was dirty with no working circulation at all. Bit noisy due to the local neighborhood and fighting dogs.

Our stay in the villa is amazing. The staffs are very friendly and approachable. The whole resort is very clean. They even have a little surprise for my daughter celebrating her birthday. The villa itself is spacious and very comfortable with all the amenities we need for our vacation at home. The view from the balcony is breathtaking and makes you feel like you're in paradise! I would definitely recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

the staff

The view of the pool is very relaxing. But what amazes me more is their food. Very delicious. Will surely be back.

None.

Excellent building of nice Villas, infinity pool !

Nothing

Very nice resort with a good view and pool. The staff was amazing and super friendly. we only stayed there 1 night but we almost cried when we had to wave goodbye to the lovely staff. Thank you for taking good care of us. See you next year :)

I like that the resort is minimalist. Simple but elegant. The scenery is so good even the view from my room is beautiful. I like also that there are a lot of options for the food. Also, the staff is accommodating and friendly. The location is also good since it's quiet. The food is also good, quantity is already okay for groups of people- worth its price. They gave us complimentary snacks when we are waiting for our van going back to the airport.

The beach. They said there's a sanctuary on the beach in front of the resort. Yes, there is. But the water is murky, with lots of leaves and rocks. Also, the beachfront is not clean. Lots of leaves and some plastics. I think if they will be able to beautify the beachfront, it would also be more attractive. Nonetheless, the resort and pool are great!

My 3rd time here and definitely not the last. The comfort is there which is sometimes hard to find in my other stays in some resorts. That's why i keep on coming back.

None.

"Awesome. It exceeds my expectation. Their chicken platter is way too good. The free breakfast is very good and generous.

great staff and takes care guests very well.

a toilet in one of the rooms was not functioning, floor on the second floor are constantly wet because of the rain and is very risky to walk, especially with kids.

the staff where great. I had a few of my friends children who wanted to come swim in the pool for only 1 hour and the staff said it’s 300 peso each, but they ended up letting the children swim free. that was nice

it’s a bit far from things but o suppose it depends o. what you want

swimming pool. room NOT CR

bathroom: killed 3 cockroaches, almost no water pressure. it took ages to take a shower. Terrible pee smell in the bathroom during our whole stay. breakfast was below any level. quality of food was very low (comparing whit any other place we stayed during our 6 week trip) has notrhing to do with European taste because even my Filipina girlfriend didnt like it.All hotels need rules, but here you get a list of things you cant do, and every 3 metres theres a sign with something thats forbidden.

Clean and accommodating staff.
