Guest UserHad a great time at Michael's Homestay! Thanks to them we were able to do our Bolinao Itinerary smoothly :) Friendly owner, friendly staff, and affordable rates. We got the Reluxe Room for a cheao price and the room is clean and the very spacious, nice to walk around with. Plus points for their common kitchen which felt very homey.
Special thanks also to Sir Alex, our service and guide the whole trip. Thank you Sir Alex! 10/10 recommend this place for de-stressing.

We had a great time, staff accommodated us by changing our room from D to C after a few hours. Bathroom in D had an odor coming from it even though nobody had used it.
Cons- Internet was slow and weak for a resort.
Water heater and pressure not good. Could only get sprinkles of water and warm or hot water nonexistent even after adjusting the water heater on different occasions.
Pro- nice location on the beachfront

The staff was very friendly. The food was very good…must try the waffles. Room was clean and spacious. I wish the water was a bit warmer to take a shower. Good starting point for trips!

Great experience. The hotel staff were absolutely kind, helpful and friendly. The rooms were clean, (I stayed in two rooms) the mini fridge was working. I loved everything about it. I’ll probably be staying at this hotel again on my next vacation in Philippines. Thanks again everyone.

We enjoyed our stay and loved that the resort isn’t crowded — perfect if you want a quiet and relaxing beach. The food was surprisingly good for the price and they provide free drinking water so you can just refill your tumblers. There are also nearby restaurants and tourist spots, and they can arrange a tricycle driver if you don’t have a car. The staff were very kind and even assisted us with an early checkout before their official opening time.
A few downsides: there was a bad smell in the bathroom when we arrived, no amenities were provided, and we had to request blankets. The restaurant area is also not very visible yet and seems like it’s still being improved.
Still, we had a great stay overall and would definitely return. Thank you!

I recently stayed at Spotlight Hotel in Alaminos, Philippines, and while there were some positive aspects, I feel there is room for improvement.
The staff and receptionist were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which was the highlight of our stay. They went out of their way to assist us with our luggage and provided helpful services throughout our visit, which we greatly appreciated.
However, the cleanliness of the bathroom was disappointing. There were noticeable molds on the walls, and the drainage emitted an unpleasant smell, which impacted our comfort. Additionally, the lack of an elevator made it challenging to move around, especially with heavy luggage.
I also found the lost key policy to be a bit strict. We were charged 500 pesos (around $8.58), which felt a bit excessive for the situation.
While I appreciate the efforts of the staff, addressing these concerns would significantly enhance the experience for future guests.

I made a mistake booking, instead of 2 nights, i booked 3 nights and asked the owner if I could change the room to at least a bit bigger because I have unexpected company but the owner didn't even consider the extra one night but instead add more money but she let us stay in one big room which means i paid 1500rmb for 2 nights😂😂😂

Anonymous UserThe room is spacious with a sitting area, large closet, and refrigerator with freezer. They also provide some amenities like soap, shampoo, and toilet paper. Bath towels are also provided. The balcony and the bathroom are clean, however, there are some dust on the windowsills of the room's interior and on the corners. For a large room, they only provide a single non-absorbent floor mat. They might want to provide more, considering that it's a resort providing water activities. There's also a sign in the bathroom detailing instructions on how to use the water heater, but there is no water heater. The other room that we booked located on a different building has a heater, though. The room is located on the 2nd floor, the water pressure is good and the toilet has a bidet. Be careful on the bath, though, as it's slippery. They should also consider adding a non-slip mat on the bathtub as a safety precaution. There's TV inside the room but it doesn't have any channels. I think they forgot to add another remote needed for you to be able to access the channels. The TV on the other room that we booked is working fine, though.
The river is nice and clean and the free time alotted for kayaking is more than enough to explore it.
The beach has mixed fine and coarse sand with some corals and shells. The water is calm and it's only knee deep even during hightide in the afternoon, so it's safe for kids. Since the beach is shared with an abandoned resort, and numerous other resorts in the area, it would be good if the staff in charge of maintenance clean the resort's beachfront to minimize the amount of trash, as there are also some trash on the resort's huts located on the beachfront. The 2 pools are clear and clean, one is located in front of the river, while the infinity pool is facing the beach. The riverside pool closes at 7pm, while the infinity pool closes at 12mn. The garden is also nice, although there are some dried bushes here and there.
Wifi is only available in public areas.
The free breakfast is ok, with 2 pieces of dried fish, 1 hotdog, and 1 cup of rice, and unlimited serving of instant black coffee.
The owner is friendly, and the front desk staff, bellboy, and security are also helpful and accommodating. The resort seems adequately staffed; although it is recommended to retrain the maintenance staff on the cleanliness of the rooms and grounds.
There are also nearby restaurants, and the Mangunguna Restaurant across the street serves really good and affordable meals. The River Restaurant and Giant Taklobo Restaurant are also within walking distance.

It was a pleasant stay. The place is nice, instagrammable. It’s actually pretty. Overlooking the ocean. I just have some issues though. We stayed at the ground suite 1. The water in the toilet bowl is slow to replenish. No hot water in the shower. And no restaurant around so we need to order in their sister resort with a 250 charge. A little far also to the main beach. So we were outside most of the time.
The place is good for a group and better if you bring your own food.
