A little piece of Heaven!
Pros:

We were met right at our taxi by staff, welcomed warmly with a complimentary drink and easy check in. Escorted to a beautiful, spacious room with balcony overlooking the sea. The restaurant was an extremely pleasant surprise, as we didn’t want to venture out after a long day of travel. It was modestly priced with excellent food and service. Only 4 rooms in this wonderful boutique hotel, which gives you the feel of having your own Villa. We highly recommend and look forward to returning when we return to this lovely country.

Two nights and relaxation
Pros:

My wife and I spent 2 nights at Star View Boutique Resort to just unwind and relax. The weather was not conducive to relaxing by the pool, but we enjoyed the very spacious room and amenities. We had massages and great food. The staff is wonderful and were friendly and helpful. The owner stopped by for a few minutes one morning at breakfast and we enjoyed a short chat. As stated, the rooms are very large with full closet, kitchen, and bathroom. Everything is of good quality, and we really enjoyed the meals. Thanks for a great stay!

What a Gem in Dumaguete-Sibulan-San Jose area!
Pros:

We felt at home at Star View Boutique Hotel. The staff was very accommodating- anticipating our every need. We loved the fresh fruit platter, and coffee. The kids especially loved the fried chicken- even the pickiest eater loved it! The pool was the funnest part for both adults and kids, with the swing, hammocks, and other rest areas on the sides. The room and living space themselves were very spacious, and functional- except the TV that was defective but we really didn’t use it, except to entertain the kids during downtime. For the negatives, the road going up the hotel was dirt rocky road of a very short distance but noticeable enough because it is steep and coarse. Another is in the bathroom, the lack of anti-slip material in the generously-sized shower area: not for young and elderly guests because floor was slippery.

Over-all, I highly recommend the place for families- it’s the perfect place to stay when in the Dumaguete area for families and several group of friends!

Best small resort in Negros Oriental
Pros:

My fourth short stay here. Huge suite overlooking the pool, very comfy, very quiet and peaceful, and the wifi is mostly OK. The food is delicious, staff are friendly and helpful, the pool is a good size and spotlessly clean, and the garden is full of birdsong and has shady areas.
Any downsides? Mobile signal is weak in the area, and the espresso could be stronger. That's all.
Overall a wonderful place to chill and recharge. It's not cheap but you get what you pay for. And they allow my small dog to stay with me (not sure if this applies to all dogs so ask first).

Superb
Pros:

This place was just what was needed for a few days to relax after a long flight, massive comfortable room, huge comfortable bed, absolute peace and quiet, we had the place to ourselves and the staff, Manni and Clare were absolutely incredible, whatever they are being paid is simply not enough. The food was spectacular. It is expensive for Phillipines, but its worth it.

Pros:

We had a lovely stay here at Villa Pedro, we are recolating to Negros Oriental soon, this was our exploratory trip and the Villa Pedro staff couldn't have been more helpful.

luxurious place to stay near Dumaguete
Pros:

we had a lovely 3 night stay here over the Christmas period. The staff were so helpful and friendly with all our questions and advising us on excursions. With our party occupying 2 of only 4 (huge and beautiful) suites, the experience felt like we were staying in almost our own country house! Absolutely delicious food was cooked to order. Gorgeous pool too. The house is in a great location for visiting the twin lakes, and is about half an hour from Dumaguete by motorcycle rickshaw.
