Serenity Hotel

La posizione un po’ scomoda se si ha un’auto, con motorino o taxi è ok

C’est une chambre et le jardin correspondait plus à une terrasse

Ce serait bien que l’hôtel propose un service de petit déjeuner.

Le lit du dessus grince😉😮‍💨la très forte lumière de l éclairage nocturne de l hotel qui passe au travers des rideaux non occultant.
Des serviettes pour les mains et un tapis de douche serait souhaitable.
Les distributeurs de la douche ne délivrent qu une minuscule goutte de savon ou shampoing, il faut l actionner énormément avant d avoir une dose utilisable.

Just as anywhere in the Philippines, there’s always a rooster waking you up in the middle of the night!

In de avond geen fijne wandeling in je eentje vanaf het centrum. Taxi’s en scooters kunnen later op de avond niet meer naar het hotel vanwege het tij. Voor ons geen probleem, we hadden gewoon de scooter net voor de afgang naar het strand neergezet en liepen de rest

No me gustó que la zona del baño no tuviera puertas... es solamente con cortinas, no tiene mucha privacidad. Al menos eran cortinas blancas y no se sentía tan sucio. La ubicación es un aspecto importante ya que para llegar solamente puedes a través de la playa, si saliste a comer o de fiesta, a cierta hora la marea sube y no puedes pasar con un tuktuk... toca caminar y son como 20 minutos por una zona oscura.

Un petit peu de bruit de la route (tuk tuk) et des voisins… mais rien de mal car très calme la nuit !

Дітям не вистачало телевізору:))

There are a few reasons for the lower score:
- We booked two tours at the front desk. I paid for both tours (or at least that's what I remember) and asked for a receipt, which I was told was not necessary. After we completed the second tour, we were asked to pay for it again, but of course I had no proof that it had already been paid for. The staff said they would check the CCTV whilst we went into town to got money (only accepted cash) for it, but upon return they just said 'you have to pay'. No CCTV footage was shown to us, despite the promise. We ended up having to pay, but with no proof that this was justified. If you stay here, make sure you ask for receipts of extras that you pay for.
- The tap in the basin was missing the handle, the soap dispenser was faulty and oozed liquid in every direction when pressed (not hard to buy a new one!!), the handle of the shower indicated H/C the wrong way, leading to cold showers on the first day. Bathroom smelt bad. On our second stay we were not given hand towels or toilet paper.
- The owner of the hotel was occupying the 'good' room with beautiful, quiet views over the green forest, whilst we were given the front room, with views over construction and the busy street!!!
- On one of the nights there was a generator that ran all night, very loudly. I know you just have to deal with these things, as they are sometimes out of control of the property, but still, we were ill and it just made sleeping difficult and unpleasant.
If a little more care was taken, this would really be a great place to stay and worth the money.

The location was in Calaan, off downtown, at high tide you have to wade on the beach to get to the access road.
