"Love this family owned business ! The owners treated us like their family… the rooms are clean and A/C is strong! Breakfast is served on the terrace outside our room… we will definitely be back !!! Mango festival is in April… make plans now …"

"It’s a very budget hotel in a small town where I guess few tourist would normally stop overnight. It’s was a pleasant place, everything seems to work. Tiny TV and no English channels but there is a spot with a few bars for a drink. It’s very provincial. The caretaker and his wife were very friendly."

"Location near taklong👍🏻"

"Costa Aguada is a clean resort with lots of coconut and bamboo trees around. It has a big pool and a kiddie pool however, there were lots of bees roaming around the pool area. There is a big entertainment center where you could play badminton, table tennis, darts and there is a pool table too. Good place for group gatherings. Kudos to Kenneth and Freddie who helped maintain the resort for a job well done. I told them I would rate the resort as 5 stars but I decided to put an overall 4 stars to give room for improvement. This resort has crystal clear waters, nature is preserved and there are wild monkeys and chicken that freely roam in the covered areas though I have not seen one. I was told there were. They serve good food. The rooms could have more comfortable beds and the locks of the bathroom could use some repair and upgrade and the rooms would be nicer if they had smoother floors. Hospitality to guests were outstanding. I would rate the staff 5 stars in their services. Job well done."

"We had a great stay here, the staff go out of their way to help you. We stayed for three nights and enjoyed the peace and quiet at the location. Thanks for a great time."

"A fine budget hotel but definitely not three star. Seems designed for family groups Rooms are very clean and comfortable and staff is very sweet. Restaurant is like a high school canteen although food is pretty good. Only instant coffee available so bring your own if that’s a must Beach is very very small and windy. Eco resort next door is great to explore"

"As the previous reviewer Brant JS stated, this is now known as Cabreras' Guesthouse. We were given a front room with quite good aircon. The bedroom suffered from traffic noise during the day and into the early evening. The room had a very basic double bed with only a rough blanket to cover each of us. There was no top sheet or doona/duvet. There was a fridge with freezer section in the common area. The shared bathroom had a hot shower with minimal water flow. We had to ask owner Santiago how to switch on the hot water. Towels were OK but there was only one shared hand towel. Often the water was turned off so the toilet would not flush. One had to resort to using the dipper and a large bucket of shower water. Santiago had two 18 year old relatives staying. Bibi was helpful. Initially there was a caged rooster near our bedroom but we requested it be moved. This occurred. The bedroom had an old style wardrobe and a small sofa. Curtains blocked the light. WiFi worked well in the lounge area that had a sofa and lounge area. Cooking in the kitchen would incur an extra charge of 100 pesos per day. There was a dining table with six chairs. Breakfast is not provided. The rudimentary restaurant on the other side of the road does not open until 1100. The back has direct concrete step access to the sea. No beach though. Mangrove forests are on both sides. To shop one has to find a P20 per person tricycle to go to 7-11 at the Nueva Valencia town centre that also has St Vincent Ferrer's Church with Sunday Mass at 0600 hours. A tricycle to the Guisi Lighthouse and Tahi Resort costs P250 one way while to Raymen Beach Resort it is P100 for the whole trike. At best, this was an average stay. Don't expect much."

"The food was terrible, just as other reviews mentioned. The stir-fried vegetables were bland, and the braised pork was cold and dry, completely unappetizing. I was told breakfast was free, but when I checked out, I found out the iced latte I ordered was not (only hot coffee and a few other items were free). To make matters worse, the iced latte was mostly melted ice, tasting like plain water – the worst iced latte I've ever had, I only took one sip. The hotel itself was clean and the interior design was nice, but the food completely ruined the experience. They should at least allow guests to bring in their own food."
