Resorts in Southern Leyte

"We were so pleased we came across Pintuyan in our search. The whale watching experience in ethical, natural conditions was perfect and we saw a number of turtles from the boat too. The facility had everything you needed, clean and comfortable and the restaurant/bar offered lots of food options. We are not generally very social but enjoyed the social breakfast and dinner (which you do not have to join but it nay appear strange if you don’t) the other guests were very nice and relaxed which is an indication of the type of people drawn to the area. You can walk along the beach or road for a walk around the local town, other than that the location is simply for the whales from what we experienced. My only negative comments would be the music played quite loud in the restaurant early one morning which woke me up after arriving at 2am was not ideal. This only happened once though. Secondly the boat guide got in the way a lot whilst swimming with the whale shark to take his own video and made me unable to keep up with it at one point. Guests should be the priority and he should stay back ensuring the guests have the best experience. "

"I will definitely stay here again."

"Everything was great, clean comfortable, safe, friendly staff "

"I had stayed at this property a year before and there are constant improvements being made to the facilities and the area around it. The beds aren't the typical foam mattresses you can find elsewhere, they are nicely firm."

"No hot shower. You don’t want to stay in back room (104). Diesel gas smell from large generator right outside room filters in to the room through the ac unit. Even if you are not running it, the fumes still filter in to the room. Had to sleep with head under sheets all night because smell was strong"

"I like Gemco because it is right smack to the Baybay’s Bus Terminal and places to eat and shop for your travel needs."

"Most things were great. There were some minor maintenance issues and the WiFi in the room was weak. "
