“Amazing resort! World class hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 March 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We were there last March 9-11 just few days ago to celebrate my bday. W/ me are my hubby,my officemate and my 1 year old baby. We want to experience the best since it's our first time in galera and we found it in Marco Vincent Resort. With a very affordable price I can't believe we will be pampered so much like in a five star hotel. Their resort is located like 100 meters away from the beach w/c is nice coz I don't wanna here any nightlife noise. It's very private,romantic and quiet perfect for honeymoon and those wanted tranquility. Their staff are helpful,very polite and alert they always observe to know the needs of their guest. We felt very special w/ our stay there. They also upgrade our room from deluxe to super deluxe as a birthday gift to me. They even greeted me happy bday w/c made me feel so welcomed...We are just group of 3 adults but they gave us 2 queen size beds w/c made us very comfortable. I really like the room, very elegant spacious and classy. Their food taste good I like the "sinigang na tanigue". I also like their free breakfast coz of variety of options from filipino to american dishes. Really a world class hotel. I really miss their jacuzzi, actually it's my favorite coz it massages my body all over...They are very generous they even offer fresh milk for my baby at breakfast for free. They also have unlimited towels u can ask for it anytime u need u can even use them when u want to sit down at the beach...I will surely comeback in Marco Vincent to try their diving package. I want to stay there for a long time w/ the rest of my family...I will surely refer Marco Vincent to all of my friends, officemates and aquaintances. If u wanna be pampered, and relax Marco Vincent is the answer. Really a world class hotel/resort...An amazing resort...

“Merj”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2011

I recently stayed at the Marco Vincent Hotel for almost 2 weeks. I can't say enough good things about the place. Everything was clean, the room was big and comfortable, breakfast was fine and the staff was friendly and polite.
By far the best part of the holiday was Merj, the receptionist at the front desk. Her dazzling eyes entranced me the minute I walked in. She is the most beautiful Filipino girl in White Beach; so mesmerizing that I felt compelled to buy her a new dress for her birthday.
I highly recommend this hotel for its solitude, cleanliness and most of all, Merj.

“The Beauty of Marco Vincent & Services”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2011

My honest comment is based on what I have seen, experienced during our travel & stay in Marco Vincent. Moving from port to destination is well organized, upon entering the resort a very friendly & professional employees will immediately attend the needs of their clients/guests. Facilities are complete and perfectly designed for relaxation & entertainment, environment is really inviting especially for couples. Food has various preferences from local to European menu where you can choose. I even felt pampered the way the staff treated us.
If I will be given time to unwind again by the company where I employed I’ll go back to Marco Vincent to explore more pleasure like diving.
More power to Marco Vincent Continue serving the people and show the beauty of nature in Puerto Galera.

“Do not stay at this awful hotel!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2011
3
people found this review helpful

I can hardly begin to express how absolutely awful this hotel is. Getting there is via a path surrounded by cheap hotels and dilapidated village huts, leading to a dirty and muddy road at the end of which the hotel is situated. No zircon in lobby at arrival was the first sign that this was a cheap, run down and bottom of the barrel establishment. The rooms (and I booked the most expensive) were truly dreadful. Old, small, very poorly decorated and the noise from the road was deafening. The kind size bed was extremely uncomfortable and the pillows small, dirty and hard. The television was at least 20 years old and the picture blurred. The noise from the refrigerator was so loud, we had to turn it off to sleep. For all of this, we had the privilege of paying an exorbitant UD 145 per night. A complete an utter rip off for one of the worst hotels I have ever seen.
We left after one day and found somewhere much better on Small Laguna beach.
I would not recommend this place to anyone who expects even a little luxury or quality in you holiday accommodation.

This review is extorsion. As soon as the writer arrived at our front desk he demanded our front desk staff to refund his deposit or else he will write a negative review about our property. Just like any other hotel, we have a 24 hours cancellation policy. He wants a hotel that is closer to the night life of the town.

“Bling Bling Vacation!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2010
1
person found this review helpful

I love this resort! I felt taken cared of the whole way from Manila to Puerto Galera. The transfers and transportation was very organized. When we arrived at the resort, the staff was very friendly and professional. I felt very welcomed. When you step out to the courtyard, you'll see their relaxing pool. The whole place is top notch! Classy but not overpriced. Their rooms are spacious and the bathrooms were very clean. I like that they have a walk in shower with good water pressure.

Our main purpose was to go diving. The dive staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. They also offer PADI courses in their resort. I was pretty amazed by the organization and cleanliness of their dive amenities. I really liked the dive cruiser we used which we named as our bling bling boat. The dives were a bit challenging, but really beautiful! The DM's do a very comprehensive briefing which is very important so you know what to expect.

The food is not bad. I really like their breakfast food the best. Also the Bulalo Steak is very tender.

We only did an overnight, but I would like to come back sometime next year and visit more of the dive sites around the area. I am pretty sure that I'll book my stay with Marco Vincent again since I highly enjoyed my stay the first time around.
