Birdland Beach Club

I was visiting friends in the Philippines and we visited north Philippines and went to Bolinao for sightseeing and stay in this resort. The forest landscape remind me of Ubud in Bali but located on the beach like Seminyak so best of two worlds. We really enjoy the Kubo near the ocean which is same word for small house in Indonesia. The food was very delicious.

My kids enjoyed the kiddie pool and collecting all sorts of sea creatures which of course they returned to the ocean. They bragged about their neemo fish discovery and the giant clams in front of the resort. The salt water pool worth checking out.

The advertised photos no longer represents the property, it is now run-down, unsafe, dirty and smells of sewage. They advertised a restaurant called Blue Mikey that is also a run-down place that is filthy! When checking in i looked over and it still had dirty pots and dishes from several days passed by appearances and along with dirt on counter. I have saw homeless encampments that looked better. Once i checked in and looked at the place i immediately turned around and left.

If the hotel owner and staff worked hard it might become a piece of crap place to stay, as it is now it looks abandoned with trash thrown around, dirty disgusting pool and death traps they call bridges which crack and fall apart while you walk over them. And to make matters worse they request you sign a waiver if you get hurt or die using their facilities they are nit to blame! No amenities at all, not even water. I did not try what they call a restaurant (Blue Mikey) as I don't want to die today... disgusting and filthy is really too nice words to use. Beach is a polluted joke of a beach and one you can't walk on or swim in. So much standing polluted water the mosquitoes are out in force! How Trip Adviser and ******* recommend this as Top Ten is a crime! And they need to review again. I will contact my credit card company to request refund!

AVOID THIS RESORT AT ALL COST: 1. For their rate, they don't even provide tissue paper which is BARE MINIMUM. They'll just provide you with super small soap. The comfort room which is located at the ground floor is too uncomfortable to use because you will be very visible from the second floor because of the bamboo flooring. 2. THE RESORT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR KIDS/SENIOR CITIZENS/INJURED AND PREGNANT WOMEN The pathways (some parts are made of bamboo as well) are too dangerous and shabby to walk on because they were too old already. SHARP stones are also all around. The stairs of the huts are also too dangerous and starining for people with knee problems. 3. DIRTY SEASHORE For a resort who claim that they are eco oriented, they're doing a very lousy job at taking care of their shoreline. Garbage are everywhere even on the water! We spend 3 days there and not even once did we see them clean their sorrounding. The shore is also full of dead weeds you'll not want to swim in it. 4. UNACCOMMODATING PERSONNELS THIS. Once you checked in, you'll have to fend for yourself. No one will check up on you even. When we asked for our final bill, they told us they'll bring it to our hut bit they never did, we have to go to the information again and follow up. They were not also that courteous so if you have something to ask about the items on your tab, you'll get a hostile attitude. 5. EVERYTHIMG STARTS AT 8AM! If you're hungry at 6am or when you plan to have an early breakfast because you have medicines to take, better order outside or buy food in advance before you go back to your cabins otherwise, you'll die of hunger because the people there doesn't come at work before 8AM. All checking out guests are entitled to a FREE RIDE to bus stations or in the centro. But since we cannot wait to get out of there we decided to check out at 7am. The previous night we settled our bill and asked the staff about the ride. I even asked the staff to give me the phone number of the owner so I could talk to him because my friend happened to have a knee injury she shouldn't be walking that far. They never gave me the number, they simply ignored my request. WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY CANNOT PROVIDE IT FOR US BECAUSE THE DRIVER AND EVERYONE COMES AT WORK AROUND 8AM. THEY LET US WALK ALL THE WAY TO THE HIGHWAY WHICH IS VERY FAR! 6. The cover of beanbags are DIRTY. EVEN THE PILLOWS AND BLANKETS ARE SMELLY. 7. Every hut doesn't have a room with a secured lock for the safety of your belongings . Considering that personnels leave the resort at night and comes back at 8AM the following day, everyone could sneak in without anyone knowing. On the third floor of our hut where the sleeping room supposed to be at, they simply put a blacket as a curtain on the door, nothing more. 8. ANIMAL POOP EVERYWHERE. We even walked on a pathway going down to the beach with a lot of rotten fruits fallen from the tree and they don't clean it. 8. The price of a small mug of coffee will cos

Place is being renovated. Unfortunately, the room we had [Ella Fitzgerald] is a bit worn down. Only a small soap is included in their offered toiletries which I think is a bit unreasonable for the room price. I understand the theme they are trying to pull, like ocean/nature-life, since most of their structures were made of wood and bamboo, but when you have a gaping peeping space on your main door where the lock is, doesn’t feel that safe or feels like the privacy is compromised. Their beach area is full of dead seagrass, which makes it awkward to walk on the beach or go into the water. But their staff compensated. They are very friendly and accommodating and the food is great! Right for the price. The best for me in this place is they are pet-friendly.

Nice place on the beach, good kitchen, very friendli and helpfull staff. Only the electric drills were disturbing, resort is under construction....

Weather was great. Although the resort was neglected I can see the place was great at one point. I know that they recovering from the pandemic and lack of resources were a big part of the problem, I hope they are able to bring the place back to it’s glory. It’s a wonderful property. We reserved for 2 nights but decided to leave and book at another location. Overall most of the staff were very welcoming and made you feel right at home. Food was fantastic and the chef very attentive. Their season is coming up and I hope they are fully booked for it. I would try it again a few years down the road.
