3-Star Hotels in Northern Mindanao, Philippines

Mabini : a pleasant hotel, with excellent cooking. The cook made our pizza from fresh dough. In a quiet neighbourhood, with large rooms, just far enough from Mambajao centre to escape the traffic, close enough to shops, eateries and banks. Mabini Lodge has plenty of parking for our rented scooter. I enjoyed the modest swimming pool, plus the relaxing bar and restaurant area. Probably the best hotel of our 2 month Philippines holiday. We paid roughly £25 per night, stayed 4 nights in March 2024.

There is a port to White Island near the hotel, and you can walk to the port, which was great. There are also bars and other places to drink within walking distance, so you don't have to go far to enjoy a meal. As for the hotel, breakfast was served by ordering one item from the menu. The Egg Benedict was especially delicious. Please note that there are no tissues in the rooms. There are also no hairdryers, so you can borrow one at the front desk. Be careful, as the only amenities available are toothbrushes and soap. The free water comes in glass bottles, so it's a good idea to transfer it to a plastic bottle so you can carry it around with you. The staff's service and the cleanliness of the hotel were generally good.

This place is so lovely in every way. Will 100% stay again and recommend to everyone I know. It’s one of the best stays I’ve had in Southeast Asia. Really special and the staff and ownership are excellent aside from the amazing accommodations and property itself.

The water is malfunctioning specialy in the morning,the hot water never function at all but it does’nt matter the important is it is around the city and very accesible🎂🎂

We booked this hotel at the last minute because our flight to Cebu had been canceled. As its name suggests, it consists of cozy cabins with a small terrace, very comfortable beds for relaxing, and views of the pool and beach. We are grateful to have met the owner, who turned out to be Spanish, and his wife. They were very pleasant, helpful, and made us have a great night. Highly recommended and reasonably priced.

Our quick stay was nice. The pool was spectacular! We enjoyed it so much! Our room was okay. We were initially offered with a bigger room as there were 5 of us but we chose to stay in the 4 person cabana as we found the bigger room stuffy and the toilet was sunken. The receptionist was very nice and quick to respond to this request. Our cabana was fine but the hotel could look into ”child proofing” the room as the double deck corners are a bit dangerous. We had to wrap the corners with bath towels. The sliding doors of the toilet and shower room could also do a little maintaining as they were already rusty. We loved the garden and surrounding area. It was so serene and gave us a very relaxing atmosphere. Perfect for morning coffee. The chicken bbq we had for dinner by the pool area was very tasty. Our breakfast was okay. The location is good. It's not too far from the airport and walkable distance to the White Beach Port (around 30 mins) and restaurants. There's also a scooter renting place in front of the hotel entrance. The staff were very warm and helpful. They allowed us to store luggage in the reception area upon checkout while we went to the White Beach and wait for pick up. Kudos to Benj and Grace for their top-notch hospitality and honesty! We highly recommend this for a budget friendly stay.

The locals were very simple. When they dropped off, they lost their phones on the car and found them at the airport. One hour and ten minutes before departure, the airport staff immediately asked for help, returned to the hotel immediately with the help car, contacted the hotel to see if the driver remembered the license plate, tried to contact the driver, found multiple people, and finally contacted another driver to inform the driver. Already waiting at the airport with a handcart, immediately flew to the airport. Finally got the phone to catch the plane. Thanks to everyone on the island who helped me!

We had 3 pleasant nights there. It is quiet and you only hear the waves and the wind. The houses are in Bamboo and we slept very well. The staff is very accomodating, very professional and speak a very good english. They really make sure that you enjoy your stay, and in case of issue with some planned activities (For example if the sea become too dangerous), then they offer immediately other activities to compensate. We will definitely come back

It was so amazing, I love the place it was a little cold yet it is indeed a Paraiso overlooking and so relaxing I can surely recommend the place the rooms are wonderful so elegant for the taste and likes of everybody there lot’s of spots where you can take you can take pictures

Very quiet location a little away (100m) from the main road. Requests or small repairs are taken care of immediately. The breakfast is tailored to the guest's wishes and the entire staff is extremely friendly. I have rarely experienced such warmth, thank you for that. Tours can be booked cheaply directly at the hotel; the driver and guide will cater to all your wishes. The pool, the rooms and the entire complex are very clean, the toilets make a big difference here compared to other resorts, rarely experienced as clean. Motorbikes can be booked directly here at an attractive price The only point of criticism is the lack of a refrigerator/minibar in the upscale rooms and is actually standard in this class. But don't be afraid of warm drinks, you can use the fridge in the kitchen downstairs. In summary, if you want to relax and have a great atmosphere, this is the right place for you.
