“Major beachfront disappointment”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 November 2011

people found this review helpful

*Good location. Bad service. Terrible room. Definitely not worth your money.*

Planning was a bit difficult:
They don't have a website, only a multiply account.
(Which didn't help gain our confidence for our booking)

We arrived Friday noon. Standard rate for 2 was at 2,300php w/ free Continental/Filipino breakfast. Our room was located in a building adjacent to the lobby. At that time it felt like WE WERE THE ONLY GUESTS. The place was quiet and people there didn't seem to be in a 'working mood' coz they probably think they don't have any guests. The room has no phone, which was inconvenient because the reception area was quite inaccessible.

STANDARD ROOM:
air-conditioned
spacious
2 double-sized beds
cable TV
fridge
cheap linens (so thin, not even color coordinated)
the blanket had the texture of a thin BATH TOWEL
uncomfy, almost hard-rock pillows
shower (NO hot&cold)
NO wifi access in the room
the exhaust fan in the bathroom made a terrible noise

Worst part: COBWEBS. MOSQUITOES.

We expressed our disappointment to the receptionist but no apology was made. Instead we were just advised to either transfer to another room or they'll clean the room of our choice while we stay on the next room. We figured all the rooms have the SAME ISSUE so we told them to clean up our room again (which should never be the case) and they sprayed mosquito repellent. After half an hour we transferred back to our original room, only to find out there's still a cobweb in the bathroom and mosquitos re-emerged after some time.Worst room ever! The bad experience at the hotel almost ruined our trip, luckily we found another accommodation which was even 1,300php cheaper but a lot better service..without the cobwebs and mosquitoes.

Room Tip: Come to the island preferably between 9-10am so you'll have time to look for a nice hotel just i...

“OK Beach Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 April 2011

person found this review helpful

My review may come a little late coz we stayed here some time in April 2010. But would like to post pics wish i just found lately and would like to share it with the readers esp its the onset of summer.. This resort is fronting the white beach , very spacious , clean and rooms are just average. A bit pricey compared to other resorts within the vicinity. Try to get a room away from the lobby or entrance since it gets a little bit noisy at night because of the bars/eateries in front of the main entrance gate. Good hotel personnel , always happy to serve and help. We did not avail the breakfast here since there are so many restaurants along the beachshore,

“very private and nice hotel..”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 June 2010

people found this review helpful

we've just been to this resort last weekend..actually we didn't know about this resort until we get to galera. i believe they have no website at all. we were just looking for a comfy, affordable and private place to stay in overnight. as we walk the shore, we pass this hotel. we get attracted to its front yard because there are lots of trees and plants. and it seems that nobody is inside it. the place is so quiet. we were hesitant to ask bcoz we think that they charge higher than our budget. but guess what? they only have a 2,000 rate/night (plus 7.25 interest). And they accept CREDIT CARDS for payments (which is very suitable for us!). The room that we rented has a 1 king-sized bed and 1 single bed, with 3 chairs, sidetable, sofa, personal ref, hot n cold shower, 2 shampoos and a soap, and a cabinet for your clothes. The place is spacious for us since we're only 2. The room provides you a privacy. You get to have your own veranda too. We really enjoyed our stay here. Though, we notice that the people in their front desk is not that knowledgeable in their hotel. We suggest also that they should have a security roaming around. It's not that the place is not safe, but we just notice that there is no guard for the hotel even if the place location is beachfront. But all in all, the place is so good! Maganda ang background sa mga pictures. And it really looks like a hotel compared to other accommodations nearby (w/ the same price as theirs). The resort is accessible to all. It is near the beach, food, pasalubungan area, gimik spots in white beach. By the way, they have 2 buildings now, but the new building has a much higher price than the old one (the place we stayed in).

Try visiting this place when you go to Puerto Galera and your vacation will all BE WORTH IT! =)
