Pet-friendly Hotels in Mimaropa, Philippines

Perfect hotel! We booked individual overwater villas, which was an interesting experience! The rooms were clean, and there was a good variety on the breakfast menu. There are two pools, one with fresh water and one with saltwater! There's also a separate pavilion for watching the sunset or just relaxing and admiring the beautiful surroundings, set a little distance from the shore! The staff are friendly, young guys always ready to help! They greeted us with welcome drinks and helped with our luggage! (This hotel should definitely be more expensive!)

Our stay was truly amazing, made even more special by the excellent accommodation and outstanding service we received throughout our visit. From the very beginning, everything was handled seamlessly, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the experience. A big part of what made our trip so smooth and stress-free was the incredible assistance from the manager, Ethen. She was very easy to talk to, approachable, and genuinely attentive to our needs. Even before we arrived, she had already taken care of all the important arrangements for us. From organizing our pick-up at the port to ensuring a comfortable transfer to the hotel, everything was perfectly coordinated. What impressed us even more was how she helped arrange all our tours. We didn’t have to worry about planning or logistics at all—every activity was thoughtfully scheduled, making our trip both convenient and enjoyable. Her effort and dedication really made a difference, and it felt like we were in very capable hands the entire time. Shoutout also to their staff Kate for ensuring our boat tickets. The accommodation itself was equally wonderful—clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, providing us with the perfect place to rest after our daily activities. Everything about our stay felt organized, relaxing, and enjoyable. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The combination of great accommodation and Ethen’s-the manager exceptional service made our stay unforgettable. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a hassle-free and well-organized getaway.

This is a bit of a special place. The hotel is right at its own private beach. It‘s very isolated from everything else which can be nice if you don‘t want to leave the hotel at all. We wanted to go to the town some evenings and that is a bit of a challenge. You first have to take a golf car (which only runs until 10pm) and then change into a tricycle. The tricycles won‘t go directly to the hotel because the last bit of the road is too steep and winded. The other option is to walk along the beach for 20 minutes instead of using the golf car for the last bit, which we did a couple of times. It‘s not too dangerous but there are stray dogs. The food in the hotel restaurant was Italian and just ok, nothing amazing. The service was not great. Two women seem to know how to run a hotel but the rest of the staff were rather useless. They often seemed annoyed, even when we were just ordering food. We once asked about the zipline that is literally next door and they didn‘t know anything about it (price, time, how to get there). They organised a tour for us, which was great, but messed up the booking somehow so the tour guide thought we were only two people instead of four, which resulted in less food for lunch. And then they even charged us more for the tour. Our room was fine. Clean and no bugs. Yes, you can hear everything but we didn‘t mind that. The room was only made up on request though. The whole area is beautiful but there were a few things that annoyed us. So I wouldn‘t come back.

The hotel is a an 8-10 minute walk from the local McDonald's – that's where the transfer drops you off. If you contact the hotel in advance, the staff can come and help with your luggage. If you only have carry-on, you can walk on your own: the path is sandy but very scenic, running along the beach and the sea. Currently, the hotel consists of two buildings. The rooms in the building with the reception are more spacious and cozy. There's no TV in the room, but with such a magnificent view, you don't even need one! 🙂 You can rent a moped directly at the hotel, but the road to it is quite challenging: a steep ascent and an equally steep descent. If you're not a confident rider, it might be tricky. Drink prices are about twice as high as in the store, but this is standard for all hotels on the island. Breakfasts are decent, but not amazing – for this price, you could find more interesting options even on the way to McDonald's. Overall, we enjoyed everything. Thanks to all the hotel staff ❤️

Location is great as long as you are not looking for a place nearby restaurant and shops, but at the opposite, a particularly relaxing atmosphere with a great view. Room, swimming pool, dive club, beach are all in good conditions. Food wise, you have many good options. Staff are pleasant and have been efficient at solving one problem in our room. Nice gesture from the hotel, a free of charge new year eve buffet + live band + firework. Ok, we most likely paid it in our room rate, but honestly speaking price was reasonable especially since our room was able to accommodate 4 guests into 2 different rooms with its own bathroom, and breakfast was included. It's sufficiently rare to be mention. Too many hotels are charging scandalous price for Christmas of New Year. Not the spirit at Casalay. Last but not least, kudos for the dive school. Very professional, especially to get your Padi. They don't compromise at all, it is very reassuring. We'll possibly be back if we happen to visit Puerto Galera again.

If this hotel were within walking distance of shops and cafes, its price would definitely be x2. It's very green, quiet, and cozy 👍. We stayed for 2 nights. The room has everything you need, even a sewing kit. The room is very spacious 🔥. The swimming pool is a definite plus, as there are no beaches nearby. It's a 15-minute tricycle ride to the airport. I recommend it! 👍

Great hotel at an affordable price with the best view! The location is very convenient, close to the main street, but not in a noisy place, you need to walk about 10 minutes, or take a transfer from the hotel, which leaves every 30 minutes. Breakfast is varied and tasty; pancakes and omelettes are prepared upon request. If you are choosing a place to swim in the pool, it is better not here, it is too warm here and with a large amount of chlorine. The hotel is not new, but overall everything is good, they clean it every day! Thank you very much, we really enjoyed it 😍

Very nice location with amazing sunset. The glamping hotel is new and they are still finishing building it so there were some issues both with the rooms (room lock without proper card but a very hard and strange key, unstable bathroom’s faucet and hot water in the shower with a very unusual control system) and the staff, who asked multiple times if we had payed the room already with Trip and asked for proof of payment. Other than that, it is a pleasant choice for the nice location and the decoration style. The offer a free shuttle service to the town but you need to wait some time usually. In alternative, when u come back to the hotel you will need your walk up to a bit steep road because the tuck tuck will not be able to come all the way up, but it’s not too bad) They also borrow a free towel that u can bring with you to other beaches. They did not clean the room daily and they said the service needed to be requested because they wouldn’t enter the room without permission. Also the reception is not open 24h which is a bit unconvenient and they would ask to text on whatshapp. For the price paid and considered how expensive it was for philippines, I would have expected less issues but I would still recommend it for a nice staying in el nido.

Cost-effective, cheap during the May Day holiday. Internal hygiene is good, towels and other supplies are dehaired, toothpaste, toothbrush and shampoo are charged, it is best to bring your own. Very close to the beach, 3 minutes walk, there are many diving clubs next to it. Surrounding dining is also OK, Korean restaurants are not bad.

Nice hotel. I think kids like it the most it's look like a real castle. It's clean has a pool and the food in the restaurant is ok. Staff very friendly we been there 2 times. Owner is a bit strange the folty towers feeling is there to. In a positive way. Great place I recommend.
