Villa Pilar Pensione Map, Address, Transportation & Nearest Stations and Airport

Spent a 3 day stay here in DAKAK back on Sep 26-28, 2023. Place is like a paradise and every moment feels very surreal. The support/crew inside the DAKAK are very timely, accommodating and very polite. Their service response time is what I really like the most. Like it will only take 2-5mins max for someone to get back to you whichever part you're at within the premise of DAKAK or whatever your needs are. They got golf cars driven by their support crews that takes you to every DAKAK attraction for free. Will certainly go back here this upcoming 1st quarter of 2024.

Great find that is nearby airport and still central location within the city. Love the homey ambience and the personalized attention of the owner. Staffs are friendly and cordial. The cafe serves good coffee and delicious local dishes family style dining. Best of all, they serve pizza! The rooms size is ok for a transient stay. The blackout curtain is good to really sleep. But would be perfect if it is also possible to have natural daylight for the day. We tried to open the curtains but one can easily be seen by people outside the room. So the room remains dark and just use the room lights wc is a waste of energy on a daytime. Wifi is intermittent and the Globe signal inside the room is very weak or nonexistent.

If you find yourself in Dipolog and in need of a hotel, I would like to offer up Hotel Camila 2 (they have 4). This is not a review of Dipolog, just know that in the smaller towns of the Philippines resources are hard won. For the Hotel Camila 2 to have the comforts it offered were very gratifying and made my stay there enjoyable. They have wi-fi, air con, an on-site restaurant and they're in-room bathrooms are very accommodating for refreshing yourself.

I was driving with friends from Negros the entire afternoon about a month ago, and the ferry trip from Dumaguete didn't make things any better. When we got to the hotel I wasn't expecting so much, but I was totally surprised how cozy and very welcoming this hotel's ambience was. We were here for just a night, and it wasn't disappointing at all. Staff was courteous and the bed was a comforting welcome from that day's long drive.

All employees were outstanding. They all were a true delight. There were signs posted everywhere saying ”Please Observe silence” yet the management allowed the events side of the hotel to continuously blast out music with heavy base speakers that at times rattled the walls and made the windows vibrate. There was a string of day after day events late into the evening. Management refused, after repeated requests, to have the speaker volume turned down or to have the speakers turned away from facing the outside windows of the hotel rooms. Future guests might want to request a room on the other side of the hotel room complex. Gorgeous pool and landscaping. Very nice rooms. Well maintained. Outstanding service. Suggest adding Plant Food diet ”Vegan” (not just Vegetarian, but a real Vegan) food selection options in their menu. Dining room staff were so willing to help in asking the cook staff to prepare the kinds of foods required based on medical requirements, e.g. a Plant Food based diet (NO oils, butter, dairy products, meat or seafood, eggs, or products derived from what is medically recognized as a health risk for many). My thanks to the Dining room and kitchen staff. You were so willing to help. Thank you one and all at the Ariana for all that you do.

To the management, Please start by insuring your imployees know that a hotel is a ”home away from home” . Please make sure that employees are equipped with proper training and seminars so that they can provide the high quality of service to the guests. Then make sure that the establishment looks like Home/Hotel, since during my visit it looks like a apartment. Lastly, please be advice that this is not a pure criticism, this is actually a constructive criticism to make sure that your business is highly compliant with the department of tourism guidelines and international ratings. Remember, guests pays for the service that they deserve. Hoping that this might help you guys. Til we meet again!

Search for places to stay in in Dapitan and this first comes out. True to its name, the place feels like a well-maintained home that has been passed on through generations. There is a consistent cozy vibe to the place from the lobby to corners in the hallway where you can rest or take photos. The room is cozy yet also modern - well-lit, airconditioned and bed I had is big enough for 2-3 people. They have a cabinet too where you can hang your clothes. This was important to me at that time since I've been travelling for days and some of my clothes need airdrying. Location-wise, it is walking distance or a quick tricycle ride away from the market and boulevard. Room fee includes an ala carte breakfast of your choice. They open as early as 6AM which is perfect if you intend to start your day early. Staff may not always be on the reception desk but they literally come out in seconds after you ring the bell.
