So this iconic spot rocks!! (Excuse the pun) the view and the beach cannot be beat, and the staff is outstanding in every respect.
The restaurant is very good, which is a good thing, because there really isn’t a lot of other dinning options nearby. Still, limited dinning takes a back seat to the wonderful setting and relaxing vibe. Of course, this is all true, but you should be aware that if there is one hotel on the island that is a destination for day tourist, it is Mandalong Rock Resort. This simply means that expect to have a full resort every weekend as a number of Instagram wannabes show up to the resort to take countless photos of themselves. And of course, if you’re unlucky enough, you might be treated to a family birthday party with Karoke machine ready to roll over your idealic Vaca.
Still, I’d definitely stay here again, but I’d make sure it was on a week day

- So bad, I didn’t even stay there -
Upon arriving around 12pm, we were told to wait until 2pm to check in. (it was a straight "no, room is not ready. check in is 2pm, come back at 2" - very shocking no hospitality)
This should have alarmed me, but I waited under the sun for a long time... and checked in after 2pm. The room was so tired and dirty, "beach front" room does not have a beach view as they claimed on the description, smelly air in the room, stained bath towels.... I could not stay there, so I complained at the reception, and the manager told me they can't do anything about it, and told me to contact Expedia instead. So I checked out at 2:45pm. Contacted Expedia after I relocate myself to another accommodation. Expedia did all they can to get a hold of hotel rep by emails and phone calls, but the resort ignored all of them. Very disappointed, as the Santiago resort I stayed was not bad, and the owner is the same.
- Bad customer service
- Photos of the exterior must be old, they now have a beaten up, tired looking octopus slider (which is not functioning) on the small islands area.

Place was super relaxing and the staff were very accommodating. Looking forward for my next stay in Camotes still at Mangodlong Rock Resort. The price offered by Expedia was such a great deal! I was able to save a lot from the usual walk in price..

The room was clean very basic. No fridge in the room. The resterant was good at very good prices, out of the seven days we stayed four of those days we had no towels in the room & had to ask for them & two of those days we got one towel between me and my wife. The small beach was nice but you had a lot of day trippers coming in & sometimes they were quite noisy. On the whole we had nice chill out

Overall it is a great value and good location. A short distance to white beach and a scooter rental just outside the front door. The room was great by comparison to others on the island. Spacious, nice bathroom and shower. Clean, nice TV. Coffee service tray. Restaurant was good, staff was good. Try the halo halo when it’s available. The only disappointment was the water slide looks like It hasn’t functioned in several years. The swimming area is a bit rocky but not too bad and it’s the ocean. With a mask and snorkel it’s all there. Overall very interesting, and unique and comfortable. I would stay there again. Very casual. Nice pool.
