Homestays w: Calabarzon, Philippines

We stayed at Sulyaps for 3 nights whilst in San Pablo and I have to say we were absolutely stunned at how beautiful it is there. From the moment we arrived (too early for check in) and were greeted and welcomed with the biggest of smiles and enthusiastic and caring staff. They kindly stored our luggage and we went to the restaurant for some breakfast which we paid for and I have to say it was worth every penny. It's a typical Filipino breakfast and it was absolutely delicious and the portions were generous along with water and coffee free flowing. After breakfast we were informed that our rooms were ready and that we could use them now free of charge. We were shown into the gardens with bonsai trees and a beautiful cage of exotic birds down a lovely path full of beautiful plants and tree, sculptures and carved images until we got so our rooms. When we looked at our room we were breathtaken as they were so beautiful with air con and a huge shower, complementary water, just perfect. Throughout our stay we were treated wonderfully with a smile all the time such beautiful people. I was a little gutted that the pool was being repaired as I love to swim but I didn't bother me too much. There was no fridge in the room which I think would have been a bonus as it's sooo hot and we like a cold drink. But when I come back to San Pablo I will not be staying anywhere else as this place has sooo much rustic charm and is very appealing to the eye where ever you look (and we didn't get to see the museum) it's an absolute gem. So if you find yourself in San Pablo this is the place to be I highly recommend it, you will not be disappointed 😁🙏😁🙏😁🙏

I booked a stay at Villa Ibarra to celebrate my wife's birthday, and we had an absolutely wonderful experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome. The highlight of our stay was the stunning view of the Taal Volcano from our room. Waking up to such a breathtaking sight every morning was truly magical and added a special touch to our celebration. We were also delighted to encounter a lot of wild monkeys around the property. It was such a unique and exciting experience that made our stay even more memorable. The breakfast at Villa Ibarra was fantastic. There was a wide variety of delicious options, and everything was fresh and well-prepared. It was the perfect way to start our day, and we looked forward to it each morning. One of our favorite features was the cozy jacuzzi. It was the ideal place to relax and unwind after a day of exploring. The warm water and serene atmosphere made it a perfect spot for some quality time together. Overall, our stay at Villa Ibarra was exceptional. The combination of the stunning Taal Volcano view, the exciting wildlife encounters, the delicious breakfast, and the relaxing jacuzzi made for a perfect birthday celebration for my wife. We are grateful to the staff for their warm hospitality and for making our stay so memorable. Highly recommend Villa Ibarra for anyone looking for a special and unforgettable getaway! Thank you, Villa Ibarra, for an amazing experience!

⸻ 5 Stars – A True Hidden Gem in Cavinti! Staying at the Ysabella Suite of FYLL Homes was such a delightful experience! From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the elegant Art Deco-inspired interiors—every corner was thoughtfully designed and beautifully curated. It’s rare to find a place that perfectly balances style and comfort, but Ysabella Suite nailed it. The suite was impeccably clean, well-lit, and fully equipped with everything I needed for a relaxing and convenient stay. I especially loved the cozy ambiance—it felt like a boutique hotel but with the warmth of home. The bed was super comfy, the WiFi was fast, and even the little touches, like the complimentary coffee and charming decor pieces, made a big difference. The location is also ideal—peaceful, safe, and just a short drive to Cavinti’s scenic spots. The hosts were incredibly accommodating and responsive, making sure everything was perfect during my stay. They’ve truly created a space where guests can unwind, recharge, and feel cared for. If you’re looking for a serene escape with boutique vibes and modern comforts, Ysabella Suite at FYLL Homes is the place to be. I’ll definitely be back and will be recommending it to friends and family!

Nice place to visit.. The staff is approachable and friendly.. So many things to do and we really enjoy our stay here

Just some insects inside the room and bathroom. Need to be extra alert to avoid problem with the travellers.

Overall the rooms is fine, although very basic and noisy if facing the busy avenue a few meters away from the windows. The bathroom turns into a permanent pool after the first shower, no curtain or divider between the shower and the bathroom, the water hardly drains as the floor is sloping towards the walls and door rather than toward the drain. Lighting in the bathroom is very poor, one can't see him/herself in the mirror, it makes shaving or putting makeup on, a real challenge. And there are no other mirrors in the room. Streaming services are available but not free, you need an account, as it is pay per view. No cable TV No shelves or closet, only 2 hangers on hooks on the wall.

Pros: - The resort was easy to locate. - The staff were very helpful. - The ambiance was so still. - Food were great! ( Sisig was the best) - Pool were very spacious since a few people were only swimming. Cons: - The kiddie pool was full of fallen leaves. - The mosquitoes were everywhere specially on the public CR. Better bring anti mosquito lotion for this. - There were no soap dish or holder in the bathroom. It was a discomfort to put the soap and shampoo on the sink, moving back and forth to bathe just to use both. Overall we had a great time. Didnt take a pic, we enjoyed the time we spent here. Thanks

We stayed in Porto Novo Anilao Dive & Leisure Resort for 7 days 6 nights. The rooms are very clean and the food in their restaurant is very good. The F&B staff are friendly and the food is yummy. We did 16 dives with them. Thanks very much to instructor Mervin, JM and their dive team. They are professional, very friendly and make you feel like a VIP. They took us to several beautiful dive sites which I never think Anilao have them. I strongly recommend this resort and I am sure I will come back again. Special thanks to Janet for the Lo Mei, JM for the Mei Hon and Halo Halo. Hope to see you all again very soon.

We really enjoyed our stay here as a family. The apartment was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed, which made our stay very comfortable. It’s definitely worth the money and perfect for families. We also liked that stores and other essentials were nearby, so it was very convenient. The only small issue was that you could hear some noise from buses and cars outside. But overall, we had a very good experience and would happily stay here again.
