Common areas and reception is no doubt picture perfect. However, the beauty only lasts there.

Booked a double room with shared bathroom. The room initially given to us was small, stuffy, and the aircon took very long to take effect.

Upon coming back to the room at night, we found out that the key given to us did not work on our room, and the doorknob was broken. Took the staff about an hour before successfully opening the room. We had to transfer to another room using the same key. Very strange.

Shared bathroom is a single T&B, three rooms share this. Imagine the hassle when all three rooms are booked. Also, water goes out in the wee hours of the night. Found this out the hard way, as our itinerary requires us to get up at 3am, finding out that we cannot take a bath nor use the toilet since no water was available that time. Water comes back at around 5am.

Can't recommend this place. There are waaaaay better accommodations in Dumaguete than here, at a cheaper price.

We search travel reviews for best hotels in Dumaguete City and Island Leisure Boutique Hotel was on the top list. We love charming places! It is artsy and modern at the same time. Easily accessible. Just hop in one of the city's equally charming tricycles and soon you'll find yourself in any place you wish to go. Going to the City or even to nearby towns is easy because the hotel staff will explain to you the what, where, and how. I find our visit in Dumaguete relaxing and worth it because we had an excellent accommodation. Look for Carlo! And their Dogs Sarah and Bailey are wonderful puppies! They add charm to the place! This is by far the best vacation I had in years!

We had booked and paid for 2 nights in Island's Leisure Boutique Hotel & Spa in Dumaguete. It turned out they were fully booked and couldn't find our reservation. It was a mess. I was really dissapointed the staff didn't offer to help us get in touch with our booking site (to use the phone) or even offer to call us a ride. I see previous feedbacks are on point..
