Halamanan Residences Reviews

This residence is so clean and has beautiful garden place. I was satisfied with all kind staffs being helpful without any inconvenience. The water quality of public pool was also clean, so it was good for swimming. I would like to visit again and recommend to people who want to be relexed in private place :)

Good location in a quiet and safe area, just 5 minutes from Alona Beach by tuktuk. The room is spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen, a nice terrace, and a lovely garden. The staff is super friendly and helpful. It’s the perfect place to stay for couples or families looking to avoid crowds or resorts. The only downsides were the breakfast, which was too small and not very tasty, and the fact that towels and bed sheets are only changed every 2–3 days.

A little far from the main road. Very quiet and nature friendly. Recommendable if you are a type of person who’s into staycations.

We stayed for 3 nights and had a very relaxing time at the villas. The owners welcomed us as we arrived which was nice who are from Belgium. The swimming pool is nice and also relaxing. The rooms are fantastic inside, the rooms were very spacious and the shower was outside. The private garden as the villa was amazing and we wished we had more time to spend there! Would recommend for a small family and also couples! Alona beach is about a 15-18minute walk down to the beach but access is very easy by calling a Tuk Tuk from reception.

Great place-to recommend

The path from the main road to the hotel is quite rugged, so although the distance to Alona Beach and its nearby commercial area is moderate (nearly 2 kilometers), it is not easy to walk, and you need to call a tutu for transportation. Other than that, everything is very good. The room is clean and hygienic, the space is large and private, the decoration design is excellent, and the facilities are complete. I am very afraid of mosquito bites. Two or three mosquitoes entered the room on the second night of my stay. The hotel provided spray the next day, and the effect was excellent. After spraying, they should all be killed. After opening the window for ventilation (there are mosquito nets on the windows and doors), I was able to sleep well. Unless it is a high-rise hotel/apartment, it should be difficult to have such good hygienic conditions in a hotel. Thanks to all the staff of the hotel for making our first trip to the Philippines feel comfortable and hospitable.

Extremely bad stay. If Ctrip can give zero points, I would choose 0/5. Can you imagine a stay without hot water for showering? Booked for three nights. On the first night, we found that there was no hot water, and the guy couldn't solve it. It was too late to consider it, so we didn't contact the manager for fear of affecting their rest. In the morning, we were told that the technician came from Cebu to fix it. We also politely refused the owner's compensation. We only asked to fix the hot water. When I came back the next night, I found that it was not fixed at all. There were my WeChat and email, but no one notified me to contact me all day. The owner was in the hotel and didn't show up to deal with it. I had to contact Ctrip. I asked to check out and change hotels at that time, but it was so late that no one from the hotel came to check out. On the morning of the third day, when handling it, the manager told me that a 25% discount on the first two days would be considered a solution. Even for our check-out on the third day, we were required to leave the hotel at noon. That morning, we also arranged a morning island hopping activity through the hotel, which was obviously deliberately difficult. From the beginning to the end, the owner did not care about the disappointment and feelings of the guests at all, and thought that everything would be solved by discounts. He even said to me and Ctrip, the Philippines is so hot, why can't we take a cold shower? During the Spring Festival here, the temperature is 24-30 degrees all day long. Whether it is day or night, the tap is cold water at about 20 degrees. Can we take a shower? From the beginning to the end, he did not mention that he was not well maintained, and provided the defective room to the customer. For the failure to repair in time, the explanation of these two white owners is that this is the Philippines! They said that the technicians had to fly from Manila to repair it. The two different explanations made me question the credit of this hotel! We asked at the time, are you listed according to the consumption standards of the Philippines? This is your hotel's problem, why do you involve the Philippines as a country? For such an owner, the Chinese say: **! According to Western standards, there is no spirit of contract!

It is suitable for couples to vacation, very quiet, not suitable for families with children, the boss will find it noisy. But the hotel is very quiet, which is very good, and the arrangement of plants and scenery is very good, but the road back to the hotel is too difficult to walk, and there is a bumpy section. In short, it is generally good, people are very disciplined, and the place is safe and comfortable.

Great experience but a bit far from the beach. The service is very good! It is very suitable for couples and friends to travel and enjoy nature and beautiful memories. The breakfast is also very delicious. It is a perfect experience.

Very satisfied, whether it is service, hotel environment, etc. are very good

The hotel facilities are very good and suitable for families

We spent the last days of our honeymoon in this beautiful property in a dreamy and exciting way. We felt completely good and the service from Louise's team was excellent. We rented one of the villas and it was really, really nice. We were very excited about the surprise for our honeymoon and thank you again.

Very warm and comfortable, good service attitude

The worst hotel. A villa room that big only allowed three people to stay in it. Obviously, two adults and two children could stay in it, but they insisted that we upgrade to a suite villa. On top of the original payment of more than 2,000 yuan, we had to pay an additional 4,600 yuan. No one with a brain would upgrade. There are so many hotels near the beach, and they only charge less than 2,000 yuan a night. In the end, we decided not to stay and changed hotels, but the hotel only refunded more than 700 yuan of the room fee of more than 4,000 yuan. The worst hotel, the place is deserted and the hotel is rigid.
