Calapan hotel rooms a the Independent

"Staff are courteous and act professionally. Room is good. Bed sheets should be fresh and clean, seat cover was not properly screwed because it was loose, controls for the A/C was working so it was hot though there's a cooking fan. No spa as we expected. "

"Excellent location, extremely friendly staff including a wonderful dive crew, and very good food. One of the best hotel stays I’ve had. "

"I expected more. The room looks much better in the pictures. The loft is already outdated. The only part I liked was the restaurant and bar. It has a nice ambiance and good food, especially the lomi and brewed coffee."

"Room was ok. Some upgrades are needed. Staff was amazing and exceptionally helpful "

"Room was beautiful, perfectly clean and smelled nice. The staff was super friendly, bossman even helped me try to fix my scooter when i asked for some tools! The premises are gorgeous, the breakfast was tasty and the vibe was generally calm, relaxing and comfortable. The AC is a bit dated but did a reliable job nonetheless. If i had to critisize something, the water pressure in the shower could be a little better. All in all still a 5 star experience for me!"

"The staff is amazing. The beach is better than the white beach. An experience unparalleled truly."

"Papa Fred's is ideally located to restaurants, nightlife and transportation. They have an exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. I stayed for 11 days and it was a pleasure."

"Staff is courteous, the room is nice and large and luxurious. The food is good and not too pricey. The ambience and location of the hotel on its private island/beechfront is excellent."

"Bad points : no towel rack or hangers in the bathroom; bed sheets were seemingly clean but had a grainy feel; there were bed bugs leaving us itchy all over; early check out (10am) despite 2 pm check in; no free breakfast; Good points: friendly staff; proximity to the venue of our meeting Overall: not recommendable; definitely not worth the money i paid for"
