If you want diving, its fantastic. All dives we had were great. This is what we really enjoyed. If you want customer approach, it's poor. Alf (the owner) always says "tell us if you want or need something" but if you really want something and ask for it, you will have to listen very long story why he can't do it or so on (mainly "because it's Phillipines"). I believe the phrase "I'm not going to change my habbit because of some customer" explains it all. So we quickly stoped asking. And yes, we didn't tell it all directly to him, because we didn't want to listen agressive invectives. The location is nice but the place itself and mainly owner approach need improvement. We are open to pay higher price for certain service, but if barbeque at the beach provided by hotel cost you 1250 PHP per person and proper meal at white beach in restaurant costs you 250 PHP, you expect at least pro-customer approach. We also had to leave one day earlier, because there's no boat, we talked to the staff 3 days ago and even if the hotel was empty weeks before we arrived, during our stay and also after, the owner insisted we have to pay also the day we wanted to cancel with an excuse he is not able to sell it now. If we tried to tell him it doesnt make any sence and we told him before, he almost blackmailed us saying "So leave the hotel before noon" even if he knew the boat will pick us up late afternoon. Sad to write this, because we were doing our best to be friendly and respect the family life the staff has, but even if we have lot of travel experiences, this was the worst customer approach ever.…
My Italian bf and I stayed here for the rest of our vacation since we had rushed. The foreign owner and his family were very hospitable to us. He accompanied us from the port and drove us to the very peak location of his place. I was shocked that it's very high grounded place, really Dream hill. That time, the other rooms were under renovation. Expected that we experienced some noises from the constructors. Yet we suffered a not good air conditioning, it was bit noisy and not working well. The shower wasn't good too. We had hard time to adjust the hot and cold because of the old adjustment hinges. The cabinet was with smell of stock in a while. The bowl ring has unstable hinges. All of these, I hope they gonna fixed it. We had our breakfast and it was well served and good. The spa was not available that time. But the bed made me sleep good because of the rocks attached on the walls at the bottom side. The wall design is like the ancient Greek style. Also with the front mirror at the bed. The balcony of the room where you can see the whole Sabang beach port and other hotels and restaurants. The beach view and the wind. Until the last day, the owner drove us back to the port. He gave us a good instructions for our travel guidance. We would like to stay back again and hoping that what we had before is already fixed.…
The hotel is located on mountain and offers a great view. The staff is very friendly offering their helping hand whenever needed. Environment is relaxing. Hotel organize diving trips as well and other activities by request. The place can be recommended.
Im currently living for a few month in the dream hill spa and condo's the sundown is one of the best in the wold seen from her, and the manegement and staf will do enything to make you happy it is not expensive, but clean and wellkeept. The food is Scandinavian orientet, but you can have what you want,,,Chek it up .
First time in the Phillipines but what a way to view it from here. Spectacular view from the balconies & Alf the owner was charming, friendly & very accomodating as well as the girls who worked there. He even picked us up from the pier & dropped us down after we finished our stay, which was great. Perfect spot if you are into diving which Alf was more than willing to share his vast experience of diving with you as well as organising diving expeditions & his Roman Bath.But as myself & the fiance were on a romantic trip we availed of the wide selection of restaraunts in Sabang & further on to La Laguna which is worth making the journey to for better beaches. Need a moped to get up & down the hill unless you are fairly fit & can take the Hill or the '100 steps' but at least it was quiet & serene here away from the traffic noise of the town. Would have giving a 5 star but for no hot water & the toilet had problems but overall this is a fantastic place for its unbelievable scenery & hospitality.…
I had never travel to the Philippines before this and only stayed a few place in my travel while on this trip. I found Dream Hill to be overall very pleasing and clean. Dream Hill Condos is located on top of the hill away from all of the noise of the town area and beaches but only a 5-10 min walk which make it feel very private like you’re on your own island. The view is awesome since it overlooks the island just this is worth any price. The staff and owner make you feel like your family and want to help you all time. They provide scuba diving if that your thing and much more but they have a Roman type SPA what a hidden treasure and this experience is like nothing you ever had before guarantee. I would recommend this place to anyone traveling or staying in Puerto Galera it’s a hidden treasure.…
what can i say? I was treated by a wonderful staff to a stay on the best location in town. Incredible view from balcony into sabang. Very spacious and clean rooms. Highly recommended after staying at different other locations. Far and above best deal in Sabang.
Alf and his crew did a wonderful job ensuring that my family had a good time. The view overlooking Sabang was the best and we were close enough to walk down hill into town and use an inexpensive motorbike ride to get back up again. The room was spacious and clean with kitchen facilities. The spa experience is wonderful, Alf was waiting for us when the boat arrived and he ensured everything ran well for the rest of our stay. Scuba diving and sailing are just some of the fun optional activities that can be arranged.
My girlfriend and I got there at about ten in the morning, and there was Alf waiting for us. Like everyone else says the view is beautiful. The first alf asked was if I knew how to ride a motorcycle and yes I do , so we rented a larger MC and explored all afrternoon.. The room was large ,very clean and well worth the money, Alf and his family treated us like we were family. If you plan on going to Puerto Galera definitely stay here, and learn how to ride a motorcycle before coming here. If you are coming here I strongly recommend a small underwater camera for snorkeling pics and playing on the beach, the barbeque and picnic was a lot of fun
There were several choices in Puerto Galera, but we booked with dream hills condo because of the rave reviews that the owner received on the scuba diving lessons he provides to the guest. After booking it, I then called the owner, Alf, 2 months before we arrived to advice of our stay & the desire for scuba diving lessons. I then told him that we wanted to change the # of people from 4 people to 6 & was to pay the additional people when we get there. He then said that the only room that would accommodate us comfortably would be the big suit @ 861 sq foot because the 2 bedroom condo was only 699 sq feet & will be too small. We were all very excited as it seems to be a good size accommodation. When we got to Batangas, I called Alf, the owner & he then advised me that he wasn't in the island & was in Manila, needless to say, the disappointment starts. The 861 sq foot suite was on a steep decline that it was hard to get to & with my bad back had to settle on the 699 sq ft suite. I understand paying for the additional people had I stayed on the bigger suite (861 sq ft) cause it's more comfortable but since we downsized & space was cramp for 6 people, I didn't think I’d be expected to pay for the additional people to the tune of Php 500.00 per person per night - additioinal PHP 2000.00 for our stay on a smaller unit. Though the views were gorgeous getting to town was very hard as it’s only though motorcycles or going down some slippery steps. Had to do that several times to eat & we did get scuba diving lessons in the town proper. The only saving grace on this stay was that the 2 ladies made our stay very comfortable, i gave it 1 star becasue of the 2 ladies otherwise would have been 0. Personally, would NOT recommend dream hills condo.…
