"The hotel is just across Binhai Avenue, and there is a lot of food around, very convenient! However, we just happened to be renovating upstairs when we checked in, and there was a constant noise during the day, because we stayed for one day, so it was just a short while away. By the way, the sound insulation of the room is not very good"
"I absolutely loved the hotel's location—it was convenient and perfect for exploring the area. The food was delicious, with a wide variety of options to choose from. The breakfast, in particular, stood out; it was a delightful buffet with so many tasty and fresh choices. The room was spacious and comfortable, offering plenty of space to relax and unwind. Overall, my experience was fantastic, and I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great stay!"
"Similar to the domestic express hotel, it is slightly better than Hanting. It is quite modern in Duma, because it was renovated and opened in 2018, the facilities are new, the hot water is strong, and the house does not have ant text geckos. This is rare in Duma. It ’s not a resort hotel, but I really gave it 100 points. I left the hotel ’s business card when I left."

"Hotel advantage is big! Good location! The water pressure is pretty good.
But there are also disadvantages, noise, taste,
But the price is very high in the end
When I went to Duma, I knew that his overall environment was there. This location is convenient and the price is so cheap."
"New and clean rooms, nicely and thoughtfully decorated although on the small size. Breakfast could be better. Pool is cute. Location is accesible via tricycle from any point in Dumaguete. Will stay again if we're in Dumaguete."

Staff service smile snd nice. i will book again coming my holiday again. Hope hotel business upper. Thanks."
"The cheap room was in very poor condition. Not only was the room very small, but there was no private bathroom. You had to share a bathroom outside, so the price was not cheap. It seemed that it was not clear when booking. Later, the room was upgraded. But the price was very high. The hotel service was average, and the service attitude was pretty good."
"I really wanted to love this hotel. It has so much potential. However,  the constant barking during the night from dogs on the adjacent property is overwhelming. Poor quality windows make it seem like the dogs are barking in your room. If you value your sleep, stay somewhere else."

AAnonymous UserFirst look on their IG and I knew I had to book this for my father’s 61st bday. Everytime we were at the hotel, it was a struggle between “I want to make the most out of this relaxing haven of pure green lush and, no let’s go outside and be with the locals”. My family fell in love with this hotel to the point that we want to go back just to stay here. The restaurants in their place are all so great too. Our favorite is Si Senor.
RryetravelsThe hotel is in central location of dumaguete. Accessible and walking distance to thr public markets, transportations, restaurants, malls and landmarks of the old town. It was easy to reach and find from the airport. The staff were friendly, smiling and helpful to our needs and questions. The room was ok. Clean, cold with AC, spacious and quiet. There are many to upgrade and considerate like the breakfast. Adding more variations would be perfect for the price we paid. I'm not satisfied with the breakfast. As well as to upgrade the room, bathrooms and its furnishings. But, in overall it was a great experience for a one night. I will definitely come back here.
JJOSEPH DE GRACIAI recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Essencia and was thoroughly impressed. From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. My room was spotless and beautifully decorated, offering a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The hotel's location was perfect for exploring the city, and I especially enjoyed the delicious buffet breakfast spread each morning I love the puto with cacao chocolate. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Dumaguete and will definitely be back!”
GGuest UserVery practical choice with regards to easy access to Lee plaza, restaurants & city tours. Hotel price-Reasonable. We all enjoyed eating @ palwa restaurant-mostly breakfast time. 360 around the corner by palwa hotel is a good place to book your travel tours. You need to bring your own toiletries just so you know. Overall experience with staff @ palwa-excellent. They’re very attentive, hospitable & with beautiful smiles on their faces ready to help you anytime.
They need to fix the lamp it goes on & off by itself I think loose connections. Maybe they also need to rearrange the bigger bed so that there’s a way you can get out on the other side quickly to use the bathroom. Also needed a small table to put your snacks or food. We stayed in a family room which I think needs an extra chair as well. Thanks to young man that helped us connect to WiFi & proper use of tv with 2tv controls. God bless you all @ Palwa hotel, thank you🇵🇭
LLailei AnneWe had such a great time visiting Pulangbato Falls! The place was absolutely refreshing and scenic—perfect for a quick nature escape. The falls were beautiful and the water was cool and inviting, making it ideal for a short swim.
After exploring, we stopped by a nearby café and enjoyed some delicious drinks. The frappes were creamy and flavorful, and the ambiance was cozy—great for relaxing after the trip. We also indulged in some dessert (banana split!), which was the perfect sweet treat to end the day.
The drive going there was smooth and scenic, especially as we passed through the lush trees and peaceful surroundings. Everything from the food to the facilities made the trip worth it. Highly recommended for a chill getaway with family or friends!
毛毛毛虫MandyThis time I booked a two-bedroom apartment with two bathrooms, which is very convenient and you can cook by yourself, but I didn’t experience it in a hurry this time. The restaurant downstairs is not as good as everyone said, but it is above the overall level of the Philippines. The swimming pool is beautiful and there are slides to play. After checking out, I had to go to the pier to take the boat to Tin Island. Because we had 5 people and luggage, we asked the front desk to call a cart for us. As a result, we arranged a brand new van to take us there for free. The building is very distinctive, the layout is very cute, I feel that a small town in Europe, next time I must take my daughter to stay a few more days.
LLailei AnneMy boyfriend and I recently stayed at the Golden Gate Suites, and our experience was truly memorable. The location was perfect, putting us within walking distance of major attractions and some fantastic local restaurants. The room itself was spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the amenities we needed. We especially enjoyed the comfortable bed and the scenic views from our window, which really added a nice touch.
The staff was friendly and attentive, always ready to help with anything we needed, from restaurant recommendations to transportation options. The hotel also had a fantastic breakfast spread each morning, with a variety of options to suit different tastes.
Overall, Golden Gate Suites was an ideal choice for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We highly recommend it for couples looking for a romantic getaway in a central, convenient location. We’d love to return!
EEsrucClean and spacious room. The problem is the price is okay but there is no personal hygiene kit like toothbrush and theres no free water to drink. They should put water dispenser outside the room
EEmmanuel SarmientoThe place is quiet, good for people who like relaxation in a tranquil environment. The room is okay, I got a small ne but it was enough for me since I came as a solo. However, I don‘t understand why it was so hard to hail a tricycle going to this place, no matter how near it actually is. Even the tricycles from there won‘t pick you up even when it‘s not yet fully occupied. So far my stay was good. I was able to work in my room, I just wished they have something like a study table where guests who needs to work remotely can work. Also, it would be nice if you know how to drive a motorbike and hold a driver‘s license. Cause going to the places there back in forth can be really hard when commuting only, unlike when you can rent a motorbike, you can go anywhere, anytime without a hassle.
