Go Hotels Iligan

EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE

Reviewed By 350shayd

Very friendly and accommodating crew. Attends to every concern and need of the customer. You feel safe and secure in the room and in the establishment as a whole. However, they can improve more on their amenities such as more available channels on their TV, larger bath towels, complimentary disposable slippers, etc. Other than that, I recommend Go Hotels Iligan. Kudos!

Vivo Inn

Vivo Inn is a nice and comfortable place to relax and enjoy the scenic island. We provide hotel standard rooms with modern bathrooms, wi-fi access, fresh meals for guests and we are just a short walk from the popular coastline of General Luna. Out rooms feature clean vintage Filipino style furniture and decor, four poster queen sized beds and comfortable hotel standard mattresses to ensure you have a relaxing sleep. Our spacious rooms are fully air conditioned and if you feel like having a shower to cool down from the heat of the island, you have your very own modern bathroom with hot and cold showers to enjoy. Vivo Inn has good wi-fi connection so you can stay in touch with your friends, family, work or business. If you want to enjoy a meal, you need not go far as our Inn features a restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner daily.

Beautiful Resort, Intimate w Warm Hospitality

Reviewed By Iamtravelinds

I stayed for only 2 nights I should've stayed longer, as I have enjoyed the place. Vivo Inn is a relaxing resort, Quiet w nice people around. The staff are all smiling w warm Hospitality. Michelle always wear a big smile and everyone in the resort On my last night was the owners birthday and us guests were invited to the dinner party serving us good food and lechon which I've been craving for since I arrived, perfect timing ?? , the couple owner were so friendly and accommodating. The garden is well maintained and the pool and the cafe gives a real island feel. Wifi is OK. The room is spotless clean, the location is near cloud9 and the boat port. The price for one night is low priced compared to the comfort and experience they serve their guests. I'm coming back next year ?

Loved the view, disappointed, then impressed.

Reviewed By Roy S

The place was beautiful and serene. We had a small issue regarding our dinner from the restaurant, but the staff were so kind and considerate that they made a huge effort to make it up to us. From missing an ordered food item to being given a free meal, that was a huge come back. We went from disappointed to being happy in the end. That pizza was delicious! Highly recommended.

Perfect view of the pacific

Reviewed By lieee915

The resort is a perfect place if you are after an island vibe as it offers an ocean view of the pacific. It is also a great location for it is walking distance from Cloud 9 and just a few minute tricycle ride from cafes and restaurants. ~You can borrow bicycles ~You can play volleyball with friends ~You can dip in the pool Also, the staff members are hospitable and friendly. I love having a little chat with them.

Vine Molave Bed & Breakfast

Clean and friendly staff but pricey

Reviewed By Ramonnetto G

Finding this type of a hotel in a provincial town in Zamboanga del Sur is a bit of a surprise. The linens are clean, the bed is comfortable, and the shower is great, although I think the bathroom is a bit small (but hey, we do not go to a hotel to stay in the bathroom). The hotel has a small pool and a cafe downstairs. The quality of the fixtures, the room amenities are above the average standard found in nearby cities like Pagadian and Dipolog. However, this hotel is a bit pricey, at PhP2,588 or over US$48.00 (1 US$=53 PhP) a night. Also, no staff will be available to assist the guest beyond 10:00 P.M. If you are planning to check-out early in the morning and you need your Official Receipt, secure it a day before because the staff may not report until 10:00 A.M.

The Loft Hotel

Best Available Facility in Iligan

Reviewed By rziaullah

In a town like Iligan where you don't have much options, it is a good one. The building is new and generally clean. There is no laundry services, no breakfast etc. Bath rooms are so small that you can hardly move in it. In front of the hotel there is a restaurant where during nights (till 11) loud live music and singing goes on so if your room is on the front side, you will not be able to read or sleep till 11 at least. Otherwise there is vast option of restaurants in the vicinity of the hotel.

Close to surfing & cloud 9

Reviewed By jackkU9677CX

The room was big and the bathroom was clean with a good shower. Great location opposite cloud 9 if you like to surf, however not much else around so need to get a tricycle into the town. We had a room at the front and the road was quite loud in the morning with mopeds and beeping, but we were still able to sleep at night. The on-site restaurant was fine for lunch / dinner but not great for breakfast. Wi-fi was also good.

What and absolute let down

Reviewed By tylersY4577AX

We booked an paid for a premier deluxe and was given a premium double 600 pesos difference that was overpaid. Room was not large and roomy as advertised rather very cramped. Bathroom was small and very hard for a disabled person to move around in. Customer service and making clients welcome here is obviously not a priority staff are very cold and distant very unusual for the Phillipines. Breakfast choices are very limited and other options very expensive. I certainly can not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Malagros Garden Resort

Place is nice, restaurant was awful

Reviewed By Lotis216

First time to visit davao and we are not disappointed, the garden are well taken care off, there are some animals thats just roaming around the area. Entrance + All you can eat buffet - 650- per adult Food choices was not that much and the taste is awful. Petting Zoo - there is a 10-15 mins show Bird Feeding Dome - cost 20 pesos for the seeds Malagros Chocolate Museum- history of chocolate / instruments. There is a cafe where you can buy and eat chocolate ice cream (a must try TABLEYA flavor) Chocolate Cake and Cocoa Powder, Bars and Tableya.

Strangers Inn & Bar

Goed en netjes verblijf

Reviewed By NewGlennL

Wij verbleven hier 5 nachten en hebben een geweldige tijd gehad. Kamers zijn schoon, douche is goed, weinig geluid in de avond en dichtbij alle restaurants en uitgaansgelegenheden. Scooter is te huren bij het hotel en je kan tours boeken. Werknemers zijn erg aardig en drinken graag een locale rum cola met je!
