Comfort Studio at Tambuli Residences Ocean View by Dominik Studio Apartment with Pool Access & Balcony in Mactan

Location was good. Very Nice sea view from the balcony.

The co-host Ma Roberta was prompt with her replying before checking in, but I got in touch with her after I checked in because I wasn’t able to turn on the cooker, also the kettle wasn’t working but she just stopped replying after she had simply said the kettle works. It was very disappointing. There was no hot water from the shower on my last day of stay so I contacted Dominik and he was quick to reply. I can only guess Ma Roberta is the property agent and doesn’t care much about the guests.

almost everything

the kettle didn't work

Location. Amenities.

Couldn't get hot shower or at least very warm.

Tout étais très bien, l’emplacement et surtout l’appartement est vraiment génial!

Rien

Zadbany i czysty apartament. Do dyspozycji wiele udogodnień, wyposażona kuchnia, łazienka i klimatyzacja, która ratuję przed panującą aurą. Piękny widok z balkonu, resort zadbany i bardzo przyjazny.

Die Wohnung war sauber und es hatte alles was man braucht. Die Lage war ruhig.

Beim buchen des Appartements wird der Eindruck erweckt, dass die Dienstleistngen, wie die Beach, das Gym, etc des angrenzende Resort zu welchem die Wohngen gehören, mitbenuzt werden können. Dem ist leider nicht so, zuerst hieß es ich müsse täglich für die Benützung PHP 1‘800.— bezahlen, danach wurde mir ein Pauschalbetrag für 8 Tage von PHP 2‘500.— oder 2‘800.— gemacht. Beides habe ich abgelehnt. Das geht meiner Meinung nach gar nicht! Ich hätte das Appartement unter diesen Umständen nicht gebucht! Schade ☹️.

We stayed here for two whole weeks. The ocean view with lots of greenery is great. We enjoyed the small balcony every day for our meals. The space has everything you need for a longer stay. The resort it's a part of is very nice, especially the pools and lobby area. We opted for the very affordable add-on of full access to the resort facilities, which includes several pools and a gym (there is one pool right next to the building that is included for free). The AC works very well. The kitchen is small but adequately equipped. The space looks like in the pictures. There's a modern drinking water dispenser and you can order refills. The reception is always manned and friendly. A Netflix account just for guests is included, which we really appreciated. There's a generous amount of towels. The pizza from the resorts own pizza oven is really tasty! Dominik is a very friendly host.

The main issues were related to the water system. For some reason there was only water pressure and properly hot water the first and last days. In between the water pressure was very low and while not cold, the water would not get hot. For about 48 hours during the middle of our stay we had no water at all (not even for the toilet or kitchen sink) due to a jammed pipe somewhere above us in the building that caused damage that needed repairing - or at least that's the information I was able to get from the receptionists with their limited English. We were not told by the hosts what was going on. During this time we had to shower in the resort swimming pool showers (which we could use thanks to our access) and fetch water several times from the lobby bathroom with buckets for flushing the toilet and doing the dishes. During this fiasco there was hardly any communication from the hosts and only after I promoted them for information, which I found strange. Secondly, know that there's a truck that pumps water into and out of the building for hours at a time every morning right below the balcony and it's very loud. This didn't ruin our stay but it's definitely not ideal. Finally, we didn't have a key for the first evening and following morning of our stay meaning we couldn't leave the apartment. The previous guest had taken it with him. We also had to inform them of this, after which they arranged a new key. The door lock is very finicky and can take a while to lock and unlock. Perhaps due to the pipes issue the smell from the kitchen sink was often unpleasant. Despite these inconveniences we still had an overall nice stay.

Located in a resort. It is a beautiful clean property.

Nothing but note that you have to pay extra if you want to use the resort.

Light and spacer enough for everything

Resort feel, didn’t hear any noise from neighbors.

Takes a little longer to find a taxi/grab than I would like

Wir hatten ein wunderschönes modern eingerichtetes Zimmer sehr sauber. das Personal war sehr freundlich. es hat mir sehr gefallen und ich werde auf jeden Fall wiederkommen, sehr empfehlenswert.

Jeden Tag Karaoke in der Nachbarschaft schon etwas nervend, aber man kann darüber wegsehen.

長期になるとお得！五万円で1週間リゾート気分を味わいたい方には美味しい！水には入らなければ、リゾート内で警備しっかりのレジデンス住人は３倍くらい高いホテルに泊まっている客と同じリゾートホテルを楽しめます。毎日、好きなときにプールサイドや共有スペース、ビーチで読書、散歩、仕事もできます。部屋のキッチンはほぼ完璧なまでの道具があるので数日分の食料をグラブで買い込めば、食費も浮きます。自己責任ですが、ゲートの外の住民たちは乗り物の声かけがしつこく一瞬だけ感じるくらいで、学校もあったり危険は感じないところ。ミニパンは6ペソで売ってるのでそこでも買い物しました。ブルーウォーターの先のバス停までは十分徒歩でそこから中型バスでセブシティのパークモールまで１時間かからず50ペソほどでいけます。

もっと早くからホテル内を堂々とぶらつけば良かった。その情報が分かりにくかった。ホテルの人に声はかけられるが顔覚えてもらえればなんてことないです。彼らは無線で連絡取り合ってるので治安は万全でしょう。決してお金を払わないで水には入らないように！ ここはC棟の景色の良い高層でしたが同じような部屋をいろんなオーナーさんが出しています。金額もいろいろ。ドミニクさんは綺麗にしてくれています。部屋からの眺めは高さや影に寄っては朝晩過ごすことはないかも。ここはかなりベランダにいる時間とれましたよ。

Good location Private Beach resort staff nice shower cooking facility and equipment would return kind manager

Price a bit high and resort prices also high

Dominik informed us ahead of time of the room change. During our check in, Dominik and his friend was there to meet us and walk us to our room. They were very friendly and accommodating to our needs.
