Tubbataha Reef Marine Park

The staff were friendly. The family room that we stayed in for three nights on the third floor was extremely noisy from 9pm until 3-4 am. It sounded like there was a nightclub close by. We did not have a restful sleep. I should have asked for another room on the second night.

Original room refused as it was gloomy and apparently not of the previous rooms standards I have used, having stayed here before. I was given a room that had many small problems, so requested a paid update which was good. I personally spoke with Butch the duty manager who thankfully gave me an explanation. This hotel will be going through an update from March where all the small problems I identified should be resolved. This hotel now has many newer local hotels against it for accommodation. Hopefully the upgrades will be sufficient to provide competition. The location is great not being too far from the Ayala Mall. The breakfast is very good but try not to go too far to please an ever larger Asian clientele. I will look forward to returning to see the resultant upgrades.

It was fine for what it was. The rooms are narrow and there isn’t a great hangout area. The neighborhood is a bit loud. But the beds were comfortable and the ac worked. The staff was nice and helped when we repeatedly locked ourselves out of our room.
