This was my first time to visit Ilocos and we're really having a hard time looking for a good place to stay. As this was rated the best hotel in Pagudpud, we opted to stay here and they are all right!You'll have no regrets for choosing this. They only have seven rooms here and you'll be amazed on the cleanliness... More

Stayed for a night recently on May 2-3, 2013. There's no yacht but I guarantee you, this place screams of cleanliness! God, why is this place so clean? Everything's clean: The bathroom, kitchen, reception, dining, parking area and you won't smell any seeping sewage smell which I have noticed in surrounding home stays . They also have a warning sign... More

Its not easy in a small hotel and we wish you had something when you were staying so we could address the problem immediately. Our staff really don't know how to react to... More

We stayed in three different hotels in Ilocos (we stayed in Vigan, Laoag and Pagudpud) which was my first time there and Tartaruga Hotel was our third and last accommodation. It was rated the best hotel in Pagudpud according to Trip Advisor which my mother, a Senior Trip Advisor Reviewer also it was a coincidence that the Filipina managing it... More

This hotel stands out, not only because it is a pristine, white oasis smack in the middle of the Pagudpud countryside but also for its service and design. There are only seven rooms, all on the snug side but the rooms and public areas seem bigger due to the white walls, floors and ceiling. Throughout, there are splashes of bright... More

Many thanks for the feedback and Fanny and the resto team also appreciate the positive comments. Very much welcomed the design comments as we tried to be simple, functional and clean with European influences. We had the sail made in Australia and its very good but challenge is handling the deluges of rain that run off it . We know... More

Strong wifi, very clean, their own vegetable garden out in the back, but no breakfast included in the hotel rate. The bathroom is on the small end of the range. Great public beach a short minute walk away. Food specials change daily and the staff are all smiles. Alfresco dining means having to fight flies at lunchtime. Figure on P300... More

Many thanks for the feedback. We ceased offering breakfasts as part of roomrates due to soaring electricity costs, rising staff costs and guests wanting more than a basic breakfast. Free breakfasts mean adding this to the room rate costs so we decided to do what pleased guests the most. The flies can be irritating at certain times of the year... More

I booked this hotel just the day before arriving by contacting them by email. I received an immediate response and I was able to pay the booking by PayPal, although they asked me to pay the fees incurred by the transaction (about PHP 100).

Many thanks for your comments. I am sorry you had a negative comment about the PayPal fees and we feel it only right to charge them if incurred as it eats into our profits. We also noted the breakfast comments, and a free breakfast means we would have to raise the room rates to cover that, as we have high... More
