Hotels near Punta Guarda Beach, Puerto Galera

In a bay, quiet, with just the right amount of waves. There is a private beach, quiet, children can play all day. Snorkeling is available as soon as you enter the water, the water is clear, and there are many colorful fish. The boss's cooking skills are amazing, and the coconut chicken soup is endless. Bring your friends and come on a vacation, it's really fun.

Amazing staff, extremely friendly and very professional. Right on the beach, although the beach is a little dirty, not so nice. However, it's a cheap ride to the beautiful White Beach. The spa attached to the resort was also great! Food was good. Would definitely recommend!

I'd like to graciously comment that to some extent, we had a good and fulfilling stay except for an uncomfortable experience in meeting a few ”defensive” staff of Jack Daniel Apartments. I would kindly suggest that next time, please welcome your guests warmly first before telling it to their face the cost of (e.g.) extra mattress for each night, missing bath towel, etc. I think it's intimidating to confront the guests with ”this and that prices” when they have just arrived. I regret to say that some staff were defensive in their explanation. Another intimidating act was the suggestion of Ms. Jocie for us to book another room with two superior bedrooms, when our booking confirmation stated 4 adults and 4 children. It was just relieving when she finally honoured the Agoda Booking Confirmation, but not after hours of long discussions 😢. Anyhow, I wasn't very glad to pay Php 2,000. for two extra mattresses for our additional two school children; and even this amount is high. We liked the swimming pool and the gardens. The property must have seen long years but well maintained. Despite my experience with a few intimidating staff, I'd like to thank Jack Daniel Apartments.

January 1st to 4th, 2024 DX Ocean View Room Good points: Good security. Even though it's called Sabang Beach, there doesn't seem to be a sandy beach. White Beach seems to be famous for its sandy beaches, and I was able to request round-trip transportation at the hotel by tricycle in about 30 minutes. The view from the hotel is amazing. You can also eat on the large shared balcony in front of your room. There was no one to use it, so it was always a monopoly. All the staff are kind. The food was average. Cons: Many hotels are built on slopes, so you have to climb narrow stairs. About 5 minutes from the street below. It takes about 2 hours from Manila to Batangas by car or bus. It takes 1 to 1.5 hours by ferry or high-speed boat from Batangas Port to Puerto Galera. It takes about 20 minutes by tricycle from the port of Puerto Galera to the hotel. There is a lot of waiting time for buses, ferries, etc., which is good for people who want to experience the feeling of traveling, but it takes time.

Great service . They are always friendly and helpful. Food is best I had in years if I compare another hotels . And bug bonus is that the kit hen also make food on demand . So if not on menu they do on request and it is worth to pay some extra money. Only downside is that trip.xom do not mention that beside the 30 peso terminal fee . And then on tge another side you need to pay 120 peso tourist tax . And as last 300 peso each person to go to the hotel. But for sure I will go back there

A wonderful place to stop. We had a cozy, spacious bungalow with a small terrace. The only thing missing was a refrigerator, but this did not affect the overall impression. We arrived around 2 am, they waited for us and checked us in, despite the fact that check-in was until 10:30 pm. Well-groomed territory, stunning garden of plants. The hotel has a spa and good massage. Convenient location - a little away from the bustle, has its own beach. There are hotels nearby without a beach with a paved promenade. We took diving elsewhere, since everything was booked at the hotel. We had a room without breakfast. You can take it and pay on the spot. We had breakfast in different places, all within a 5-minute walking distance. In search of dinner, we went to several places, and in the end it turned out that this hotel had the most delicious food. Special thanks to the cook!

Showed up just before the Lockdown and quite frankly couldn’t have landed in a better spot. Spent my first 5 nights at the dive shop resort on the water. It’s not hard to realize why this dive resort gets consistent high ratings, quality and care all the way. After the diving shut down, I moved up to the main hotel and once again, I couldn’t have made a better choice. Spent most of my time during the initial stages of the lockdown by the pool. All meals where 1st class and quite frankly, I didn’t need to leave the resort as I was very comfortable with an awesome friendly staff. From the room to the amenities and staff, I highly recommend this place for your next trip to the Philippines. 😃

We stayed 3D 2N this weekend and overall our stay was very good. We arrived 11.30am and at check-in was shown straight to our room. Very clean, 2 double beds for myself, my wife and son. Very strong AC, excellent water pressure, plenty of cable channels and comfy bean bag type sofa on the patio. Food OK and good value, ice cold beers which is a must, good size swimming pool and very clean, staff friendly and attentive. Dive shop attached but I am not a diver, but it seemed busy. Surprisingly Sabang was very quiet and seems to be undergoing a big face-lift so be prepared for lots of building works. The only cons, though minor, no complimentary water, tea or coffee and no kettle or cups but once we requested they were delivered in minutes and before we got to our room at check-in we were being hassled about booking an excursion. Give guests time to settle in first. Overall very good and would recommend.

Pros: Just a few steps from the beach and restaurants Nice people in the front desk Clean place Strong internet Cons Bed is hard Blanket is small Breakfast is serve already and you need to get what they served TV videos or channels are not clear

I stayed at the Dreamwave hotel in White Beach in Puerta Galera 13/9/2022 for 7 nights with my partner To say I was disappointed is an understatement I arrived to find the hotel is currently being refurbished and not as described in the pictures in Agoda. I will list my complaints below that happened in the 7 days I booked a deluxe room. The room had a king size bed in it. A TV unit and a TV and a bathroom. There was no space in the room other than to walk round the bed. No table or chair. No kettle. But more importantly no wardrobe to put ones clothes. The bed when I sat on it creaked and groaned like a 1930s spring bed would. The view out the window was of a building site I went to reception to speak to the manager. I was told that was the room I had booked and is a normal deluxe room I mentioned about no wardrobe but they had no answer to that. After several discussions back and forth I was offered another room but for only 6 days (I would have to revert to the original room for one night.) OK let’s see the room I said and I was showed another room a VIP room four times as big Back to reception I said I would accept that room she said it is another 9100 pesos (150 pounds) I argued that they had failed to supply me with what I had already paid for but they wouldn’t budge So I reluctantly paid We moved in to the room These are the issues with this room No wardrobe we lived 6 days out of suitcases No hot water. They tried to fix but couldn’t I was offered another room to shower in but that lasted two days No kettle till I asked for one The microwave didn’t work The shower floor leaked from the tray to the floor The window was filthy and grimy No hot water in the sink after two days Water pressures in sink was poor No sink plug The bed was great as was the view through the dirty full-length windows The hotel itself has been boarded off just behind reception and all the rooms being let are on the front of the building. The front entrance has a space allocated to a tattoo artist here he lounges sprawled about sleeping in the day waiting for customers The front entrance has roller shutters that come down at night Breakfast included in the 9100. The menu only had small items on it and the value was between 150 and 250. If we had anything above 150 we had to pay the extra On the first night / morning we were woken at 5.30 with someone on the building site behind the boarded corridors singing at the top of their voice. I mentioned this to reception but again it happened on night 2 and 5 On night 4, hotel guests singing loudly in the hallways and reception area, despite a night guard, it woke us up at 3am. I mention this to reception and asked why the guard hadn’t stopped this but they had no answer The seating area on the balcony for smokers was filthy and the chairs were old paint splattered plastic garden chairs The best for last In the pictures in Agoda website shows and the description quotes tables
