Thalatta Resort

I’ve always come to this place every time I’m on vacation simply because of the quietness and the peaceful atmosphere. I love that they allowed pets as I didn’t want to leave my dog at home. The staff were friendly. The bathroom is big and they have a huge glass window that’s facing some sort of private garden which I find cool.

Breakfast was very good, many choices. The fresh sliced Pineapple was the best I ever had in the Philippines. It was export quality. There’s a new selection of wonderful French wines.

Real hotel standard i.e. large bathroom, good water preassure, large nice room, efficient aircondition, good beds, safe box, refrigerator wifi etc. We got a room at the second floor, with a large calm private balcony, where it was amazingly nice to sit in the evenings. The best thing about this hotel is that they do not play pop music at the restaurant as they do in 9 out of 10 hotels and restaurants in the Philippines. So there is not this infernal noice that you have to live with at most hotels in the Philippines. The standard at the restaurant is higher than most places we tried in the area, and it is beautiful and calm to eat there. The hotel has an agreement with an American who rent scooters. We got a nearly new scooter and new helmets at a low price. There are no beautiful beaches in the area, but when it is not windy you can swim in front of the hotel and at a small beach left to the hotel. The hotel arrange tours to Apo Island where it is nice to snorkel or diving.

The resort is really fantastic! The staff is well organized and very kind. The food is very delicious (we tried almost all the dishes on the menu - fresh products/ well cooked and top service). The smimming pool in the middle of the resort is very enjoyable and you can easily access the small beach/ sea which is just at the foot of the resort. The rooms are quite big and clean. The clients are mainly divers so the surrounding is very quiet (during daytime and also at night). It is very relaxing. The staff also helped us to organize a tour to Dumaguete and another one to Apo island to see the sea turtles. We really enjoyed our stay and we highly recommand the resort!

Everything was amazing. The grounds, the dive guides and dive boat, the rooms, air con, all the staff were lovely and the food is awesome. Recommend and will definitely be back
