Guest Houses in Zamboanga Peninsula

"We had a nice stay."

"As usual, Ariana does not disappoint me. It is my go to hotel anytime I fly in and out of Dipolog City. The rooms are excellent, clean and the staff is just top notch. The food at the restaurant is fresh and excellent. I made the mistake of trying another hotel in town closer to the bus terminal. HUGE mistake and I will NEVER book D'Hotel again. Save yourself the hassle and stay at Ariana. My only suggestion to Ariana would be this. Get yourself a better IT Staff. Your Wi-Fi could be stronger. It is a little weak in some areas of Ariana. I suspect that an overhaul is needed with better Wi-Fi equipment to completely cover the hotel."

"I was disappointed with the breakfast. Food is not delicious and staff are not friendly and attentive. I think the 600 pesos charge per person is ridiculous. Since the food is not good. The pillows are very hard and so as the bed. I suppose to have upcoming booking but decided to cancel it. I’m very disappointed. "

"The property has been around for 40 years. Transfers from seaports and airports were seamless. Check-in was a little chaotic and even had an issue with another guest being checked in before us. No apologies from the staff even though I called it out. Aside from swimming pools, the beach and other amenities; nothing really stood out. The room we stayed in was massive. It does need an upgrade. There’s visible signs of wear and tear. Food is not allowed in the rooms due to ants. However, fruits and soda were offered in the room and fridge. Those also attract ants. Given the nature of the property, there were a lot of mosquitoes, be prepared. Staff around the property were polite to say good morning etc. what we did not like were the staff at the 2 restaurants we ate at. This is where we felt that we were foreigners in our own country. It felt that we owed the staff something even though we paid for the services. It was also evident that teamwork was lacking. We weren’t a demanding bunch but a little hospitality and simple smile would’ve been appreciated. This is not our first island resort, and while this has the best view among all that we visited, the way we were treated by the staff took the beauty away. In our 3 days and 5 visits to the restaurants, only Regina made a difference and knew how to treat her guests. Hope the rest of the staff have the same attitude as her. There is a need for restaurant staff retraining on how to treat their guests."

"Great water front lication"

"Plenty of drinking water and a kettle for tea, coffee, powders. Beach is only steps away for great sunsets, pleasant staff and motobike parking. "

"clean room, excellent guest service"

"This is my second time staying at this hotel; it is excellent, and all the staff members are polite. I would love to stay there again."

"I loved this resort. This was paradise I can only have ever dreamed of and spending my birthday here was very relaxing and peaceful. The housekeeping staff was very friendly, loved hearing “Morning Sir” everyday. The beach was just as beautiful as the pictures show however the jellyfish fish signs should be relocated so they are not hidden by tree branches. Food at the Bamboo Kitchen was delicious and the shuttle driver was great at helping us with directions and alternative transportation "
