Odkryj pobyt w mieście Iloilo

We had a 5 day stay at this resort recently and enjoyed every moment. The hotel is a two minute ride from the airport. I believe the entire island only has two hotels! All the staff members took great care of us each day, especially Jonas and Meds at the restaurant. Lycel was also friendly. The culinary experience was exemplary. Hats off to the chef for making each and every meal we had so delicious! It was my first time trying KBL soup and I really enjoyed the jackfruit in this savory and sour soup. They were also able to provide custom made dishes at our request such as Kangkung with shrimp paste which is my favorite! We also did a hike with Clement which was a fun experience and a good workout. The view from the top of the mountain was beautiful. The staff also helped us arrange a private boat tour to do some island hopping and visit a lagoon which we very much enjoyed. My only concern is the water pressure in the shower is not the greatest and some of the prices of beverages and bottled water are a bit high. But these are minor issues and would not deter me from recommending this place.

a perfect getaway for the weekend. we arrived late and only stayed a night, wished that we couldv'e stayed longer. very satisfied with everything! if you want a peaceful and relaxing vacation this is the trip! expect no good data service although they have wifi but who cares, it's the most perfect time to do away with the hussle and juggles of a busy life. customer service is impeccably one of the best from arrival and drop off! we were greeted with a warm welcome, accomodated beyond expectations, and the staff were extremely helpful! food- delicious! the menu was limited when we were there but food was great! I cannot complain! kudos to the Chef! the place itself is a gem! it's so beautiful! we initially booked the beach front but moved to the hilltop room which was in my opinion was better! it had an amazing view! if you decide to stay make sure you check out the whole resort! there are a lot of picture perfect spots! it was a lovely stay at Balay Kogon!

Food was good. Enjoyed dining in their nice restaurant by the pool. Requested for a birthday greeting and they did it. Kudos to the staff. Their massage is a must try. Really added a lot to my relaxation while on the trip. Highly recommended!

“Silent Hill” If you’re not familiar with this movie title, it was a horror film released in 2006. Our experience with Damires Hills was not as horrifying but more of a dreaded experience. Indeed, when we arrived at this nature retreat, we were welcomed by a silent breeze and the sound of distant chimes, gentle rustling of the tree leaves and occasional creaking sound of bamboo…which seemed relaxing and peaceful. Much like how horror films start. The horror started after checking in. We had some time to freshen up before a scheduled meeting, so we proceeded to our rooms. Upon entering you will be welcome by the musty stench of the room and when you open the tap and shower the odor of the water was a warning to not take this by mouth. They did provide two small bottles of bottled water, which was not enough after a long trip. Fortunately, the smell of the tap water improved after running the tap and shower for a few minutes. I also noticed the wooden soap holder which was full of molds while trying to freshen up. Then much to my surprise there were no available towels in the room. I had to request for this, which arrived 30 minutes after, that is after reminding them twice that no towels were provided. When the towels arrived, these were moist and had a certain odor like when laundry is not properly done. Upon unraveling the towel, it was tattered and full of stains that suggests this has not been laundered well or at least replaced if the stains were not removed after proper laundering. Good thing a brought an Arena quick dry sports towel for emergency use. Hurriedly, after a quick freshening up I proceeded to the meeting venue. We didn’t have time to check the beds and the cabinets to see what was lurking within. We had a decent lunch spread and mirienda during our meeting breaks. Nothing great. I was expecting Iloilo cuisine at its finest or at least dishes to remember since there was so much hype about Damires Hills. The forested areas were nice, but we noticed the pools were poorly maintained with unclear pool water and floating leaves. At night fall the pathways to our rooms and to another venue for dinner were poorly lighted and quite spooky. We had dinner near one of the pools which again was poorly lit and the dinner buffet was mediocre at best. One of my companions even commented that the dinner spread had no theme at all, just a mixture of dishes that didn’t please the palate. After the dinner, we had some short activities and fellowship. Our friends from Iloilo were so kind to bring some good pulutan for this. Together with the cold SMB this was a respite from previous disappointments with Damires HIlls. Apparently, the pool bar didn’t have any simple complimentary pika-pika like peanuts and the like. After a few hours, some of us decided to call it a night after a long day of travel and work meetings. Going back to the room, the musty smell had decreased after airing the room for about an hour. This is the time I noticed the cabinets

It was a pleasant welcome from their front desk with very accommodating service.I hope that they will continue these great Job😊 looking forward for more amenities in the future!
