To the price you wont find it better. Nice sandy beach in a small bay next to a fishing village, beautifull view, Fine cottages, friendly and smiling staff and wonderfull food. Try their crepes with mango and banana :-)

I will try to keep it short & sweet : location - nicely isolated & quite; food - very tasty for both Asian & Western cuisine with good portions; service - they do their best e.g. they prepared my breakfast craving even if it wasn't on the menu, accomodated our diving requests, gave us a nice quick tour of downtown...

Frankly, if I tell everyone how much we truly love this place, the great accommodation, the faultless service, the great food, and the simply outrageous sunsets, they'll all come and we won't be able to go back to Monarch ourselves, ever again. So I won't mention how much this place totally relaxes you, unwinds the knots and clears out your... More

We went to Monarch with our little two years old boy and stayed at the resort three nights. The owner found a piece of heaven in this secluded bay that it's really only for its guest and some fishermen families. We shared the resort only with an american couple so it seemed to be only for us. The staff was... More

Mmy friends and I had an AWESOME time at this resort. Food was great (try the pizzas) and the size of the servings were worth the price, rooms were fantastic and very cozy (sea breeze best for siestas), service was excellent (very friendly staff). The beachfront was secluded, very quiet and peaceful, with gorgeous sunsets and sunrises. The house reef... More

We were looking for a quiet place to spend a day or two and the staff at the El Portal Inn (Tagbilaran/Bohol) told us about this place. The price (inexpensive) seemed too good to be true BUT---I emailed Ron and he was quick to reply and offered many additional services (I wish I had listened to him). We took the... More

If you wanted a place where you can chill, have fun, and a moment for yourself, this is a perfect spot. The area is secluded, quite and have a lot of activities to keep your vacation busy and exciting. People are nice and lovely (believe me!) ;) It made me fall in love with Dumaguete and will go back over... More

We occupied almost all of the cottages they have and everybody had the same experience. Accommodation was terrible. There were a lot of bugs, ants, and mosquitos too. The photo on their website had mosquito nets but noone had it in their room. We had bad sleep because of this. To be on a vacation, quality sleep is very important.... More

The hotel advertises white sand. Wrong. The sand is grey and dirty. The pictures on the internet have been altered. The hotel has a large staff doing practically nothing all day. They could at least rake the beach and make it more decent. It is impossible to swim as in the water there is nothing but rocks. It is a... More
