Seaview Hotels in Oriental Mindoro

"Massive and clean rooms! Breakfast is good. Staff are really friendly and helpful - they arranged Tuktuk for us daily because we were diving at Sabang Area. If you’re here to dive around Sabang Area, then it’s quite a distance. They have their own dive shop too if you prefer that."

"We chose this place by reviews and for its location. When we arrived we had to sign an agreement with the property rules which are in abundance: from “no outside food or drinks at the property” to fines for stained towels and sheets. Though there are “shhh” signs everywhere I woke up both mornings of our stay because someone was walking and talking loudly right outside our door. The room is really small close to tiny, there’s no fridge (ok, that’s the type of room without one), the safe didn’t work but the friendly and helpful staff kindly stored our valuables in theirs. The place is beautifully located and the food is ok."

"”My stay at LaLaguna Villas was absolutely incredible! The room was incredible, the view was incredible ,but what truly made my experience unforgettable was the incredible service from the staff. They were always attentive, going above and beyond to make my stay special, from seamless transportation arrangements to organizing last-minute tours with ease. The food? Incredible. The amenities? Incredible especially the gym, which was top-notch. Everything about my stay exceeded my expectations. I had such a good time here that the only word I can think of to describe it all is… incredible!”"

"We stayed four nights at Casalay Boutique Villas and Dive and overall had a wonderful experience. The location is truly special – stunning views, beautifully designed villas, a very well-kept property, and breathtaking sunsets by the pool or from the terrace. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing, perfect for a luxurious getaway. Be aware that getting there can be a bit tricky. Buses from Manila to Batangas City run regularly, but the last ferry departs at 4 PM. Make sure to plan your trip accordingly – we ran into some issues because of this. The food is more expensive than local options, but very clean and easily adaptable to vegetarian needs. While the vegetarian menu is limited, the manager was very accommodating and open to adjustments, which we truly appreciated. There are plenty of activities: a paid boat transfer to Secret Bay, trips to Sabang, diving, massages, and more. Just keep in mind to clarify whether you book activities through the hotel or third-party providers, as prices can vary and surcharges are common. Some small downsides: our room was only cleaned on two of the four days, which didn’t meet the highest hygiene standards, and the beach could be a little cleaner. Still, we had a very enjoyable stay. The combination of friendly staff, beautiful setting, and unique location makes this hotel highly recommendable."

"An Impeccable Sanctuary with Views That Justify Every Penny My experience at Manarra Seaview Resort was defined by flawless cleanliness and profound tranquility. The entire property is meticulously maintained, offering a spotless and peaceful environment that is perfect for unwinding. The attention to detail in both the interior and exterior cleanliness was simply outstanding. The resort's views are nothing short of breathtaking. Prior to arrival, I had reservations about the room rate, considering it somewhat high. However, the moment I was greeted by the magnificent panorama from my room, all doubts dissolved. The unparalleled vista made it clear that the value received far exceeded the cost. Adding to the perfection was the incredible staff. Their genuine warmth and eagerness to help were remarkable and made the stay truly special. Every aspect of this visit was memorable. Thank you for an absolutely wonderful experience."

"The boss has WeChat and can communicate. The room is very clean. The top floor has a great view of the sea. There is Korean barbecue and Chinese Sichuan cuisine downstairs. The food is OK. There are also many bars and dancers at night."

"I have stayed at this hotel during my three PG diving trips. It has been three or four years since the epidemic started, but the front desk still recognizes me! The hotel environment is elegant and quiet, with a wide view of the sea. The small bar, billiard table, swimming pool and restaurant can be used for leisure. It feels good to drink and chat with the housekeeper or foreigners. The shortcomings are that the room configuration is old (but still clean) and the window air conditioner is noisy."

"Let's go in order) Pros: + Incredibly polite staff and owner. Helped organize excursions, order a taxi and resolve any issues, provided a transfer from the hotel, brought everything you need before your vacation. Even helped buy a ferry ticket in advance! Simply perfect staff, I have never seen such service in any hotel)) + You can always call reception from the hotel, and you can easily catch any in the city back + The beach is 5 steps away, especially if you take a room on the 1st floor with a sea view, you can walk barefoot from your room to the beach in a few steps + We only saw one or two couples occasionally from the guests and that's it, as if the hotel was just for us Cons: - [ ] I would like sun loungers on the beach and by the pool, where you can lie down (with an umbrella). Now they provide beach chairs, but you can't sit on them for long, and in principle, if you take a room not on the 1st floor with a sea view, you can only sit on beach chairs on the hotel grounds (upon request). This also needs to be improved) - [ ] The room is new, everything is nice, new, but there was no refrigerator, safe, wardrobe. Despite the fact that there is enough space in the room for all these amenities) - [ ] Breakfast is not a buffet, only 3 types, scrambled eggs with bacon, beef and pork. In principle, we are not picky, it is enough for us, but those who stay here for a longer time will go crazy from such a choice (but we found a very tasty cafe with breakfasts, though you need to walk a little, more on it below) - The hotel is on a steep descent, walking up the mountain is a bit of a sporting activity) but there is nothing near the hotel (except for 1 cafe in km Bayview, with the only normal coffee on the island (from a coffee machine) and the most delicious chicken sandwich in the world!!!) and so, only the road along which you can walk a little, and then there are already a lot of cars and serpentines, you will not be able to go along it, since there are no paths for people. Therefore, either sit in the hotel, or take a tuk-tuk and go to neighboring settlements, which costs from 300₽ to 600₽ depending on where you are going) And so everything is super, thanks to the owner"

"The staff are really awesome and make up for the lack of amenities. It’s a little pricey for what they offer but the location has the best part of the beach. The WiFi does need to be worked on. Was in and out a lot of the time. The rooms are modern but really tiny. We stayed for 4 nights and couldn’t wait to leave because of the room size. All in all, I do recommend the place because of the location and the awesome staff."

"What you see on photos is what you get in actual..the hot shower with strong water pressure was a plus after dive day or island hopping day👍the staff were very accomodating..and the wifi is real good..will definitely reco it to my friends😆😆"
