Monreal hotel rooms a the Independent

"Probably one of the better options in town besides the cherish hotel. The rooms were clean, restaurant had great food and staff was friendly. Would recommend. "

"Lift still out of service, as I already been there quite a few times, the lift wasn't working last November too. I booked a Presidential room which was already taken. Was told there was a mismatch with my booking and their reservation. Was given the right room in the afternoon though "

"Beautiful property in a nice location. Very well maintained and has all you need for a short break. The staff are all wonderful. We had a great stay! "

"A very tired property that needs investment. Aircon very old and did not work very well. Limited choice of food for a vegetarian. Friendly and helpful staff. Drinks were great. Convenient for the whale shark tours. "

"The pool was dirty, the beach was covered in garbage. The room smelled bad and there were ants on the bed. We booked the room then decided to leave. Lost the cost of the room but didnt sleep with the ants. Went to the resort next door instead "

"I’ve never experienced a better staff than these wonderful people at the Altamar, my girlfriend and I had such a wonderful time enjoying the beautiful scenery, beach, pool and food! The staff surprised us on numerous occasions with a romantic dinner table and breakfast table outside with candles and beanbags! This was my first trip to the Philippines and I’ve never in my life received the wonderful treatment of the staff, thank you for everything! This is the #1 place to stay!! "
