Apo Island Holiday Rentals

"Overall great stay. Hotel was nice and clean. Staff was very accommodating and breakfast was good and balanced."

"We loved our stay here. The staff were absolutely amazing. The front desk staff, the tours staff, the restaurant staff and the tuktuk tour drivers were all so friendly and helpful. Our scenic nature tour was so fun and each stop was memorable. The food at the restaurants was great and the ambiance was top notch. They always made sure we were well taken care of and that reservations were honoured. The evening shows were really cool and the staff really puts their all into it. The singers, the fire dancers and the ladies of the Salamandas restaurant (especially the emcee/hostess, we loved her enthusiasm) were all fun to watch. The beachfront was amazing and so much seating. The pools were spacious, but a bit dirty. The lifeguard was cleaning as we were swimming though so wasn’t too worried about it, just maybe need to clean it more often. The cleaners were great. Very thorough. My biggest downside is by far the television. When you’ve had a long night and want to unwind, a tv is nice and they had 13 channels, 3 or so in English and the rest were foreign channels and ones that didn’t work (like the history channel, which would have been nice to watch). Get smart TVs with streaming apps if possible and a better wifi connection. That is my only wish. We’ll be back though no matter what. We had a fantastic experience. "

"Hotel location is close to amneties. The room is ok and the bed is good. If you have early flights, be sure to contact a motorcab in advance. "

"All good, rooms small but reflected in the price. Very friendly staff. "

"The resort is centrally located, just steps away from the beach and within easy walking distance of local dining spots, bars, and even the Lala-o Bridge. The staff were very warm and accommodating—they happily tweaked my breakfast order and even lent me a motorbike helmet for a few hours, which I really appreciated. Breakfast options were decent, and the overall vibe was relaxed and welcoming. The room assigned to me was spacious and clean. They also have a nice pool at the back. Would definitely recommend for a convenient and comfortable stay."

"My ETA was well past the last check in, but a member of staff was kind enough to stay behind. The dorm had 4 bunkbeds, an AC unit and a fan. The AC and fan worked well. Each guest was given a towel and a locker big enough to hold a large backpack. The bed had an Asian style firm mattress and a thin sheet, a private light, 2 sockets and a small shelf. Common areas include a kitchen area, dining/working area with breakfast tables and high chairs, and another lounge area by the reception. There's no AC in the common areas, although the areas were open with nettings to restrict insects, so at least there was air circulating. I never got bitten while in the common area. There are several toilet/bathrooms. These were always clean whenever I used them. The water pressure is okay, good enough and works. There's not much ventilation in the shower rooms though. There is Wifi throughout the property and it works well. Location wise, the hostel is roughly between the airport and town. it's about 15 minutes walk to the port and 20 to the centre of Dumaguete. There is a convenience store close by and several restaurants too. At night, the area is quiet, but you can hear the traffic in the morning. The hostel employ staff who are hard of hearing, so kudos for that. The communication can be slower, but please be kind and patient. The staff work hard cleaning several times a day. Overall, I had an excellent stay. The hostel and facilities are basic, but clean and comfortable."

"Clean, quiet, and convenient. Excellent staff. Breakfast buffet is awesome. "

"This property is awesome! The facilities are great and it is well maintained. The management was friendly and very accommodating. "

"Rovira Suites is the best place to stay in Dumaguete. No competitor has really put together the same level of products and services. From tooth brushes you'd actually not mind taking home, to soft pillows that don't leave you with a sore neck, they've got it all down correctly. A suggestion I would offer to the management is being a bit more prompt on cleaning up what the customers leave behind would help greatly to maintain the brand."
