Oriental Mindoro Hotels with Bars

Our stay was exactly what we needed, a relaxing weekend to bond with family in such a comfortable place. The rooms were spotlessly clean, and both Johnny and Victoria were wonderful hosts, always attentive to our needs and even exceeding our expectations. The shared space with a beautiful mountain view was perfect for unwinding and simply enjoying the moment. We also loved the breakfast selection, especially the freshly made homemade pandesal, which was a real highlight for us. They also have an amazing cook, Priscilla, who prepared sumptuous and delicious meals for us. Overall, it’s a place I would highly recommend to all types of travellers.

Our family had a truly wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was spacious, comfortable, and perfect for relaxing after a day out. The staff were incredibly warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home. What impressed me most was how child-friendly the hotel is — my kids were happy from the moment we arrived, and they enjoyed every bit of their stay. From the thoughtful little touches to the welcoming atmosphere, everything made it easy and enjoyable to travel with children. The food was also outstanding, with a variety of delicious dishes that pleased both adults and kids. We will definitely be coming back!

The resort is nestled in a quiet harbour within a small village just a short distance from Puerto Galera — you can reach the town in about 10 minutes by tricycle for 50 pesos. The property sits right on the waterfront, with its courtyard opening directly onto the bay. The setting is incredibly serene, cosy and picturesque. The grounds feature plenty of relaxing spots: comfortable chairs, sun loungers and hammocks where you can unwind. We especially loved the chair near the large tree — it was the perfect place to relax! The sea near the resort is a bit murky due to local currents, so not many people swim here. However, this isn’t an issue at all, as you can quickly and affordably reach the stunning beaches of Sabang (I highly recommend La Laguna) by tricycle — or even on foot if you’re up for a walk. During low tide, you can explore the seabed right near the hotel. The resort also has a small swimming pool, and despite other guests staying there, we never had any trouble finding space to take a dip. The rooms are clean and well‑maintained, featuring a small kitchenette, stylish bathrooms and even a bathtub. We stayed on the ground floor, so we occasionally noticed small ants and once spotted a gecko — but they never caused any inconvenience. Please note that the air conditioning is rather weak, so the room might feel a bit stuffy or not quite cool enough at times. There’s both a ceiling fan and a standing fan available, though, and overall the accommodation was comfortable. The on‑site restaurant offers a wide selection of dishes for breakfast and other meals, with prices typical for a resort area. We were very pleased with the food. The staff are attentive, always smiling and eager to help. During our week‑long stay, the resort wasn’t crowded, which made for a truly relaxing experience — you really get what you came for. Occasionally, local guests can be a bit noisy, laughing loudly or singing karaoke, which might disturb your sleep or meditation. However, this is not the resort’s fault, and it’s still relatively quiet compared to other spots around Puerto Galera, such as White Beach. What could be improved: 1) Flip‑flops. It’s odd that a seaside resort doesn’t offer free flip‑flops like most similar places do — they only rent them out here. Even budget hotels usually provide this small convenience. 2) Charge for outside food. Corkage fees are normal, but charging an extra 150 pesos for any outside food is too much. Even though we weren’t charged, the mere existence of such a rule makes the resort look stingy. This rule should be removed. 3) Wi-Fi was dead almost all of the time. Don’t rely on it. Thanks to the Blue Crystal Resort for a nice stay! I highly recommend it.

This hotel complex has the best location on the beach as there’s a good view of the bay and it’s possible to sleep because here you are away from the noise of the bars. Set in lovely gardens and the pool looked basic but okay although I didn’t use it. Kim the receptionist/sort everything person was amazing. He organised trips, ferry tickets and transport around the resort, very much appreciated. Overall, I wouldn’t choose this complex again because the facilities are poor. The room, although called deluxe was far from it. I would describe it as shabby and in need of renovation. Although it was clean, it didn’t feel so because it was so tatty, particularly the furniture. The bed was comfortable though. The shower was horrible, it was barely lukewarm and hardly any water came from the showerhead which was in desperate need of replacing along with the whole system . There were no facilities of use in the room like an iron or hairdryer just a fridge that remained empty. The air-conditioning was extremely noisy and old, although it did keep the room relatively cool. Breakfast was also disappointing, particularly the continental. Two bits of semi stale toast and a little bit of butter and jam with two fried eggs. The Filipino choice was a bit better. But honestly, id give it a miss The worst part was it was far too expensive in comparison with my other stays in many hotels across Asia. Not even worth half of what I paid.

Very clean, quiet and well landscaped property. Great location for good dive sites. The owners care a lot about their property and it shows. They offer good food too, if you want to eat there.

We chose this place by reviews and for its location. When we arrived we had to sign an agreement with the property rules which are in abundance: from “no outside food or drinks at the property” to fines for stained towels and sheets. Though there are “shhh” signs everywhere I woke up both mornings of our stay because someone was walking and talking loudly right outside our door. The room is really small close to tiny, there’s no fridge (ok, that’s the type of room without one), the safe didn’t work but the friendly and helpful staff kindly stored our valuables in theirs. The place is beautifully located and the food is ok.

Very cozy place, small but comfortable hotel with nice swimming pool, clean rooms and nice view (first line on the sea). Albeit you must know that despite the title Sabang beach you won't find any beaches here or somewhere around - just a waterfront made from rocks. If you looking for the place where you can lay on the sand and then enjoy swimming its not a place for you its a place for divers who using boats that departure from the waterfront all times. If you don't want to swim in the sea then you may consider this hotel. Lots of ants and poor soundproofing but in any other aspects its worth the money!

Absolutely cannot recommend this place highly enough. It's a litte further down the sea front but tucked away from the noise while still being right on the water. The room was immaculate and spacious, cleaned everyday and (surprisingly) mosquito-free. The resaurant offers fantastic food at a great price and the whole place has a family run vibe. And it's this that I rate so highly about the place. I was solo travelling over the Christmas holiday and the ladies that run the hotel were so so welcoming and friendly.They offered for me to join their Christmas dinner and kept breakfast open to me 15-20 minutes late so I could catch the 9am dive and still eat when I came back. They were all so lovely, it didn't feel like I was alone over the festive period. If I am ever to visit PG again, I'll 100% be staying at Out of the Blue. Thank you so much fo rhaving me and for all the laughs. Michael

The hotel is average. In the booking they said it has a hair dryer which they didn’t have. Even went to ask to the receptionist. The bathroom was so so, the sink water was on a sensor which didn’t work properly, was annoying when I had to shave, even brushing teeth was abit difficult. The toilet cover also kept closing and I when I told the receptionist they sended a guy and he taped it which didn’t hold for too long. We were 2 and they only gave one shampoo and bath gel. 🤷♂️They not had a kettle or any other “normal” appliances you see in a 3-star hotel. But the bed was comfy, the receptionist was nice and its direct on the beach…

This is my third time staying at this hotel. And sadly, it just doesn’t get any better. And they even did a remodel since I was here last. Sad, old hotel that is unfortunately the best that Calapan has to offer. The rooms are clean, the pool is good and the staff very nice, but that’s about all I can say to the positive. No hot water, little in the way of amenities and the breakfast included with the room is just pathetic. All of this and reasonably expensive by Phillipines standards. I had just come from the Lalaguna Villas in Puerto Galera, so the contrasts were extreme. I am currently at the Manila Hotel, so again the contrasts are extreme. There are few options for a hotel in Calapan, they host many weddings and local events. But seriously, someone should open a decent hotel in a capital city of 140,000.
