Hotels with Breakfast in Antipolo

We chanced upon Altaroca Resorts when we searched for top resorts/accomodations in Antipolo. With less expectations during online booking, we were greeted by a friendly security guard who ushered us to the parking area and to the reception/front desk and by the housekeeping staff who assisted us with our bags up to our rooms. The staffs are all approachable and friendly. The rooms (we booked the twin sharing and triple sharing rooms) are modern and clean with comfortable bed and pillows. It is good that the shower comes with a heater. We enjoyed the 3 pools (kiddie, lounge and lap pools). The food is also very good. Downside though, since it is a mountain resort, the rooms,restaurant, pools are only accessible via stairs. Overall, the resort is a very nice place to chill, relax and unwind. We enjoyed our long weekend stay in Altaroca. Highly recommendable! And we will come back, definitely!

I reviewed this hotel in other platform but was never posted. This is a wedding venue hotel although the actual celebration is done across the street. The hotel other property. The bad thing about it was the wedding entourage stayed in the hotel. After my wife and I traveled for 21 hours by plane we checked in to this hotel at around 5:00 PM. I booked the hotel through Agoda because of decent reviews and no other hotel to my liking based on booking and agoda reviews. I would say that was the biggest mistake in my part. Normally I weigh more of foreigners review's than local reviews (I am not saying that I don’t think the local reviews are not worth reading) however, what is good for the locals may not be good for the foreign tourists. I upgraded my room and paid around 174 USD in top of @ 160 USD that I paid in Agoda. The room was huge but dated. The tile floors were loose and there were no sound proofing at all. I can hear the sound of vehicles passing by. At around 11:30 PM my wife and I went to sleep but only to be awakened at 1:30 AM by the noise from the next room. Waited for 30 minutes before calling the front desk but the noise just got louder. I finally called the front desk and I was told that security would be there. Well after 10 minutes the noise went away however after 30 minutes there she goes again. At that point my wife and I couldn’t sleep anymore. I heard the conversation about the wedding, what make up was available, dress after the wedding and in top of it they were doing videos. The noise did not go away until 7:00 AM, the wedding entourage went down to the ceremony. I brought my complaint to the front desk and they said they would take care of it. The second and third night were no relief , different inconsiderate wedding entourage and obnoxious people. The hotel has laundry lists of policy but not enforced at all including congregation and noise. I was relieved when I checked out. If there’s any other hotel close by, I would have checked out after the first night. To the hotel credit, breakfast was decent.

It's a vast space, with several pools and rooms/ private villas. It's a great place to spend a weekend with family, strolling among the trees, enjoying a leisurely swim, taking in the realistic and textured paintings in the restaurant, and partaking of other activities like horseback riding and more. The staff are the absolute friendliest, most accommodating and efficient ones I have ever encountered in my life. Well trained and wired to serve, going way beyond what is required (special shout out to Ruiz/ Fruity and Amy, definitely role models for the service and hospitality industry). I highly recommend this place for team building or family vacations... or even a personal getaway.
