Appleton Little Paradise Beach Resort

"Date of Stay: September 27-28, 2026 As true-blooded hoteliers, my friends and I have very high standards for hospitality, and Appleton Little Paradise Beach Resort and Restaurant absolutely lived up to its reputation as one of the best in Real, Quezon. From our initial phone inquiry to the polite security guards guiding us upon arrival, the customer service was seamless. We did an ocular inspection the day before check-in, and the receptionist, Rina, beautifully entertained us, showing us our preferred rooms, the pool, and the beach. On the day of our stay, they incredibly allowed us to check in early since our apartment room was already vacant and ready. It is quite clear that every touchpoint—from the initial call, the front-of-house greeting by security, to the check-in process—was professional and welcoming. The highlight for us was their outstanding service recovery. Due to a minor mix-up while we were exploring the property, our room amenities (towels, blankets, dental kits) were mistakenly delivered to our friends' room. Because our friends had already left for Balagbag Falls with their room key, the front desk couldn't access the room and couldn't immediately locate a duplicate key. Without any hesitation or second thoughts, they immediately provided us with a brand-new set of amenities. Later that evening, the staff beautifully assisted us with our drink orders for a beachside nightcap. They even graciously allowed us to enjoy our music and drinks late into the night since other guests had already departed. The Room & Facilities: Our "apartment" room was impressively spacious and perfectly clean, equipped with a TV and a mini-fridge. The pool is pristine and well-sized, complete with a kiddie pool and what looked like a jacuzzi. The beach has darker, somewhat stony sand, which was completely fine for us as we just wanted a refreshing swim. Areas for Improvement: The water pressure in the shower and faucet was a bit weak. Also, we had a funny moment where we couldn’t figure out the hot/cold shower handle mechanism! We called the front desk, and a housekeeping staff member arrived within minutes to assist us with a great, warm attitude—never making us feel embarrassed. Overall, we are thoroughly satisfied. The incredible, accommodating staff made our stay truly enjoyable. They are living up to their stellar reputation in Quezon. Kudus to the management and staff. This property is definitely highly recommended!"
