Santiago Bay Garden & Resort

Great location, close to a nice beach. The room was decent. The place has several nice looking pools, however we used only the beach which we had direct access to. We had some trouble with the water in our bathroom, and they were ready to change our room for that, but since we only stayed for two nights we did not love with the possibility. The staff was very friendly, and the food was pleasant local food. We would definitely recommend this place for others.

It was indeed a very Merry Christmas,thank you so much for the memories we enjoyed our stay and we will recommend you to our friends special thanks to Jane,Jun and Glecerio for making us feel at home.

I didn’t just visit here, I got locked down for 14 weeks, so I really got to know the resort. I didn’t want to be locked down, but Santiago Bay was certainly the best place on the island to be stranded. Forever grateful to the staff for making my stay as comfortable as possible

The view and the location of this hotel are what makes it a good place to stay. The rooms are very simple and already a little bit old, the bathroom was not good in our room, sink and CR almost falling apart...but overall the experience is good. Also we did not find the food very good compared to what we had in other places.

Isolated location far from the ports for boats from Cebu and Leyte but without doubt the place to holiday. Preferable for couples and families. Staff are helpful and for the most part well trained. I arrives just on dark in pain from a pulled muscle in my back. The receptionist was able to give me a pain killer capsule. The next morning it was a 1 hour round trip on a bike to the nearest pharmacy. Various rooms to choose from. I stayed in a bay view room (8) but 1, 2 and 3 are the better ones for the iconic view over the bay. My room had a double bed and a single with clean linen. Small wardrobe and small table with chair. The aircon unit was old but still efficient and fairly quiet. The cable TV had limited english channels. Lighting was okay. The only power point for recharging was not in a handy position. The bathroom was compact with the shower separated by a curtain. Hot water was good as was the pressure. The restaurant has a fairly good menu, service and food both good. I thought the prices were more than reasonable. After having traveled extensively around the Philippines it was so good to find a cook who knew how to make a carbonara. The receptionist was able to organise all my transport requirements. They did offer breakfast vouchers after the second day of being stranded on the island due to the typhoon tisoy. Wifi is only available in the lobby area but I believe investing in an internet data package when traveling is always the smart thing to do.
