Caticlan Apartments

This is where we stayed with the abrupt unreasonable cancellation by our national carrier last Dec22. People here were nice. I think the kindness they showed are sincere. I was referring to the front desk , restaurant staff and even the man who was like a security and help all in one. Rooms are basic. Nothing fancy except perhaps adorning the walls with quotes from famous individuals. Soap , shampoo, drinkable water are provided. Bath has hot and cold water. Small tv , of course, but with adequate channels. No wonder this is one of the back up hotels when flights go wrong in Caticlan.

The location of the hotel is good for those who have an early flight in the next morning to catch. This was the reason I chose this hotel for one night stay only before we flew to Manila, and I did not expect much. Even so, I could only give this hotel 2-star rating because: - It is very basic and does not have adequate facilities even for a simple stay. When I asked the staff for an electric kettle for boiling water, they said they did not have one, and then they had to boil some water for me using they gas stove; - The room did not have sufficient lighting. It was very dark and even scary; - The air conditioner did not work right. It was very noisy and inefficient. We could not sleep because of the heat in the night; - When we walked in, it looked to me like an abandoned place. Nobody was there and we had to wait for a while until a staff member came. I still give the hotel 2 stars instead of 1 because of its location and the fact that the staff was very cooperative when we asked for boiling water.

Because I didn’t catch the last boat on the island, I thought I was going to be near the dock that night. I thought of Ctrip. After I opened it, I found this nice hotel. I started to say that I didn’t have a room. Later I showed the order to the boss, she played The phone was given to Ctrip. After coordination, she gave me this last room, thank you very much Ctrip and the hotel. It took about ten minutes to walk from the pier.

Again a great experience, staff are great food excellent. We will be back in December looking forward to seeing you soon Regards Rob Ferris
