Sudipen Hotels

"I recently stayed at this hotel and, unfortunately, it felt much closer to a 3-star experience than the advertised 4 stars. For a property charging over $250 per night, the overall value and quality were disappointing. One major issue was the TV entertainment. There were virtually no channels available , not even basic local channels. The only option was to log into Netflix or other streaming services using your personal account, which can be difficult or impossible for international travelers due to regional restrictions and login verification requirements. The restaurant was another letdown. The menu was very limited, and the food prices were extremely high for the quality and selection offered. What made it more frustrating was the hotel’s policy against bringing outside food onto the property, although I noticed other guests eating Jollibee and other takeout food by the pool without any issue. The rules seemed inconsistent. The room amenities also did not meet expectations for a hotel in this price range. There were no bathrobes provided in the room, and when I requested robes, the hotel delivered child-sized ones that clearly did not fit an adult guest. Perhaps the most concerning issue was the water smell. The first time the faucet or shower was turned on, there was a strong sewage-like odor coming from the water, which was very unpleasant. Overall, this hotel charges luxury-level prices but fails to deliver a comfortable or polished experience. Very disappointing 😟"

"We had a wonderful stay at Balay ni Manuel ken Maria. The place has a true probinsya vibe—peaceful, quiet, and perfect for relaxing with family. The rooms are very spacious, and everything felt comfortable and welcoming. They also served a delicious breakfast, which was a great start to our day. Definitely a family-friendly place we’d love to visit again."

"Clogged restroom drainage,smells like sewer.Outdated amenities. food really basic and less per serving."

"Hot shower is not working. Only the very cold shower. When you turn the handle to the left to get hot shower, the water in the shower heads was only dripping and no water pressure. No phones in the room. Had to go down every time to ask for assistance. I had to ask 3 times in one day just for someone to fix the issue and when someone finally came, they COULD NOT FIX IT!!! Quite disappointing "

"Enjoyed the breakfast buffet. A variety of foods. We were on C side. With pool view and it was lovely. Hotel seems to be doing some well needed upgrades. But delta clean and safe. And beach front. Similar vibes to Mexico. As a Canadian. "

"The location was fantastic and the outside area is truly beautiful, though the grass could use a bit more attention and landscaping. However, the room itself is in need of a major upgrade, particularly the bathroom, which felt quite dated. Staff were very helpful and friendly. "

"The area was nice but the rooms was not at all. Trying to check in was a nightmare. Room was not ready when arrived. I didn't have wifi at all."

"The room was on the small side but clean and comfortable. Children playing in the hall was very disturbing since there is nothing to absorb the echoing sounds in the hallway. I think it's a fairly new property and may still be dealing with growing pains. It's a small property but that's ok. It's right on a pretty beach with clean water. That's also a plus. The big problem is how isolated it is. There are other small hotels nearby but nothing in the way of things to do or other places to eat. Even the 7-11 is several km away. If you don't have your own car, I don't recommend this place! The restaurant was very disappointing. The they had 3 different versions of the menu and none of them was right! The chicken my partner had was like rubber and was not good at all. There are many better options unless you HAVE to stay in that area."

"Beautiful landscape with awesome swimming pool and ocean view but the property is somewhat rundown. It’s not being maintained. The hardware in my bathroom is rusty. Definitely looks old and it smelled like sewer after taking a long shower. Room is big but very dull. No character for what is advertised as 5 star hotel. Breakfast is a typical Filipino breakfast; not exciting for a hotel rated as 5 star. "
