Nice hotel...
Problem is that they dont have a priority or designated parking space for checked-in guests.
To be specific: they have parkings beside and infromt of the entrace lobby unfortunately if they have events or functions it is all being occupied by non check-in customers, thats becomes your problem since you have to park along the main road without lights and security. You have to wait for the event to finish at around 11:30 pm-12 mn to park your vehicle at their paking area.
Ived complained about it hope they can look into it for the convenience of check-in guest who would like to rest after a whole day travel.
Rooms are clean and spacious. Staff are accomodating. The place has good open areas. View is good. The sea is just nearby. Can be improved by installing a more modern tv, quieter split type airconditioners. Overall experience is excellent.
it was such a nice experience staffs. glad we chose this hotel for a staycation. breakfast menu was very nice not to stimulating but have a variety of quality options. you will not go hungry as the vacinity offers a variety of restaurants and cafe also a conveniently located mall in front of the hotel itself. the staffs are accomodating and very friendly.
Had an amazing stay at this resort! The place is clean, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, always ready to help with anything we needed. The rooms were comfortable and well-maintained, and the overall ambiance was refreshing.
The amenities were great, especially the pool area—it was clean. The food was also delicious and worth trying. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. Will surely come back again!
Maybe the best hotel in Bolinao area. Excellent landscaping, swimming pools, garden, kids area.
The only drawback and really a little one is the staff service. I give this mark because they are really not helpful for giving touristic information for landmarks around, and especially for the Giant Clams - for me the real treasure around in this area.
Other than that, it is really a place to go and stay - there is no hotel around that can compare.
It was an overall good experience. We were greeted by all-smiling staffs. The property is very well maintained. I saw that they clean their pools everyday. Our accommodation is very clean and tidy as well. Restaurants serves variety of food on their menus from vegetables, seafood, beef to chicken. I suggest to give them a heads up on your orders to avoid the hassle of waiting. They serve the usual silog meals on their breakfast (choice of meat/fish, fried rice and egg). You just need to ask them what you need on your room and they will immediately provide. I just hope that they could have provided more things on the room as a default like water, mugs, tissue are only good for 2 person even though the room is booked for 4.
Me and my parents had a good time during our stay.
Every one is so kind and polite. I love the amenities, food, location, and most especially our room view from our balcony that I requested prior to our checked-in date.
Away from the usual elyu noise at night time wherein you can really relax and enjoy the beach.
If you want a very peaceful and relaxing place, don’t hesitate to booked this place ‘coz it’s worth every penny you will pay. ☺️
We had such a wonderful time staying at this hotel! From the moment we arrived, it felt like the perfect escape — a chance to simply rest, recharge, and soak in the beautiful scenery all around us. One of the highlights was definitely the boat ride arranged by the property; it was such a delightful adventure that made us feel connected to nature and the calm waters.The food from the nearby restaurant was another treat — every bite was delicious and added to the cozy, homey vibe of our stay. We also loved that cooking wares were readily available, making it easy to prepare our own meals whenever we wanted, which added a fun, family-style touch to the experience.Overall, it was a stay filled with laughter, relaxation, and little adventures that made everything extra special. We left with happy hearts and wonderful memories, and we’re already excited to come back again soon to relive the joy!
The deluxe room was spacious for a family of 4, and take note of the washroom providing a “suite like” feel.
Although the cabinets were obviously worn out, one of them had molds and can even smell once you open it. However, room had been kept clean throughout our stay in.
There was a limitation on access to amenities.
The beach was closed due to soil erosion, hence we only able to use the infinity pool.
Prepare cash for the deposit of 2k per night.
No lift (south wing, ocean wing) we had to ask assistance from the hotel concierges to bring the luggages all the way up to the3rd floor.
Review of Proxy Hotel, Alaminos
We had a very pleasant stay at the Proxy Hotel. The location was excellent—being so close to Lucap Wharf made it very convenient for exploring Hundred Islands and the surrounding area. The rooms were impressively clean and well-maintained, offering a comfortable environment overall. The only minor drawback was that the bed felt a bit too firm for our preference, but this did not take away from the overall positive experience. The combination of convenience, cleanliness, and comfort makes Proxy Hotel a solid choice for travelers visiting Alaminos.
Very Good

LLiezl ValdezA little bit disappointed kasi pagpasok mo palang ng room incomplete siya. Wala man lang naka steady na cups , water, sabon, toothpaste, etc. Hindi refreshing ang amoy and the toilet and bathroom is not clean. And medyo napuyat kasi till 12am ata yung music at may kasama pang bata. They did not even consider yung blanket na hndi kasya yun sa isang tao lang so pinabayaran payung extra blanket well infact dapat tig isa naman dapat yun kasi bayad naman yung room as 6 .
But the positive side is mabavait yung staff nila at the location of the resort is maganda dahil malalapit siya sa mga tourist spots sa bolinao.

WWerner1I'd cautiously recommend this hotel! First off, it's really hard to find when you first arrive because there are no signs (street or hotel signs like you'd find for other places). I booked the cheapest room category, so I wasn't expecting the highest standard, but the living/sleeping area definitely needed a wardrobe or shelves, or at least more hooks for hanging things! The toilet and shower (which was perfect!) were in the same room, which meant the floor was constantly wet. Only a tiny trickle came out of the sink faucet, and the drain was very slow (maybe clogged!). You might have to ask for towels if you need them. Parking can get tight if the hotel is fully booked. WiFi was only available in the public areas (but that was communicated upfront). After dinner at the restaurant next door, I had diarrhea the next day (stomach issues from the vegetables!).
GGuest UserGood -Met owners of BnB, Ice cream, bar and dining available on site (Italian / local food), good breakfast included. Air-conditioned room, phone and satellite tv (requires load by site). On site generator to support power blackouts. Nice garden like feel, gated and fenced. On site parking (minimal). Christmas lights set up for the season. New three-story expansion currently being built (but no impact to stay). Stocked in room mini bar. Shower water flow good. Nice on site pool (3-4 ft deep). Nice ocean views, Koi pond and sitting areas. Dogs and cats (3 ea) live on site.
Bad -Food order ~3 hr in advance, prices are a bit higher than normal, breakfast night before. Some items on menu not available. Room is very small mostly bed and small area to walk around. Bathroom local size challenge for larger people (toilet to wall space). Plumbing not support flushing of TP, place in holding bin. Shower heater wall switch should be labeled. Switch is in same stack of switches as bath lights. Refrigerator and mini bar stocked. (bug spray recommended for foreigners as mosquitoes can get in the room). Located on main roadway. A short drive to other things in the area. No beach (small gravel area), surf can be strong at back of property. Kayaks appeared usable but life jackets were questionable (suggest replacing) unless experienced seemed more like yard art. Amenity kit provided (bar soap was crumbled and could not be used, shampoo was barely enough for one shower (suggest abandon and provide home made or none at all).
Ugly -Local purified drinking water provided in plastic pitcher (not enough for two people per/day and no way to know where from), can ask for more but not convenient. Spouse incurred sickness from bad (other) water during stay.
GGuest UserThe superior room is a bit small for 4 people. Not worth it for the price that I paid. But it was clean and comfy. The facilities and features of the resort are a bit outdated, perhaps because it was too large, making it hard to maintain. However, we still had a pleasant stay to ring in the new year.
Ggibo_27Great place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city! Balai Balatong is located inside a barangay and has kubo/hut theme with a touch of modern elegance. The rooms are well designed and are really clean.
We were lucky to book the place for our own on that day as it is a weekday for a very inexpensive price. We got the pool and entire place literally for our own for a day which is great! It could be priced double or triple for its current state of the rooms.
As the place is relatively new, just opened last 2024, there is no in house reception available. Works like an airbnb. No in house-resto yet. These two might be the reasons why they are holding on to pricing the rooms higher. Would have given them a perfect rating if these are available. There is a good restaurant though just in front of the place called Pha Ramen which is an aesthetically good restaurant serving good Pinoy dishes (and accepts credit cards).
Staffs are friendly and accommodating. We had an early flight the next day and they were able to arrange for our transfer to the airport.
We will surely come back!
MmrtnkayeWe enjoyed our stay and loved that the resort isn’t crowded — perfect if you want a quiet and relaxing beach. The food was surprisingly good for the price and they provide free drinking water so you can just refill your tumblers. There are also nearby restaurants and tourist spots, and they can arrange a tricycle driver if you don’t have a car. The staff were very kind and even assisted us with an early checkout before their official opening time.
A few downsides: there was a bad smell in the bathroom when we arrived, no amenities were provided, and we had to request blankets. The restaurant area is also not very visible yet and seems like it’s still being improved.
Still, we had a great stay overall and would definitely return. Thank you!
