Tambuli Seaside Resort and Spa

The front desk provided no wifi passwords, information about the resort, its restaurants or really anything. The food and drinks are overpriced. The snorkelling wasn’t very good at all, only grasses and a few fish and start fish. When checking out they said my taxi was called. 20 minutes later I found out they hadn’t called my taxi to the airport. Everyone just stands around and hides around the resort. It was the laziest employees and the poorest value out of any hotel I’ve ever witnessed anywhere.

We previously had a bad experience at

Chose Tambuli coz it got recommended to us, but got POOR service. We checked in for a night with 3 rooms pax of 10 ( including 3 kids ) . Our room info. Are 2 rooms with twin bed and 1 queen bed. Got there to check in. Provided my I.D. they asked us to write down the names and age of people who will stay. They keep insisting the the 2 kids age 13 and 15 are adults. And can't place in same room where I originally booked them. I told them no one informed me about the policy of 2 adults 1 kid only per room , when I booked it. I showed them that in expedia app 0-17 is considered child, also, I payed extra in that room with 2 kids and 2 adults. I also aware I added 1 more adult, contacted them ahead of time. They told me thru messaging that extra adult/bed will be Php 2300. I want to emphasize (/) means or. Only to find out that we felt disturbed the whole stay because they keep wanting to set up additional bed. The fact that I agreed only to pay for additional person not bed. We even about to sleep and they called from front desk want us to sign awave about this issue. Welcome drinks are horrible! Full of sugar. Staff at welcome desk keep going back and fort to ask me about same thing. We need attentiveness and stop confusing guests that wants to relax. Our room smells musky or molds. So much staffs but they say same thing to call at front desk for any complaints. The fact the there's like 20 of them cannot even rely it to the person in charge. All in all don't book here.

Great view and cool resort. Customer service is excellent. Highly recommended.

Very nice place staff Very polite and friendly!

Perfect resort!

Beautiful garden and architectural design.

Really good service and a good relaxing quiet resort.

breakfast need to improve..

A lot of my stay was excellent, and it would have been 5 stars given all the personal touches. Unfortunately, I was price-gouged for a lid to a pot that I accidentally broke. I was charged $50 (after talking them down from $85) to replace an $18 pot (I looked up the price). It was already heavily scratched... Also, I would strongly recommend they extend the pool bar hours well into the night. It was wildly popular compared to the actual bar, but it shut down way too early when there were still bar patrons. They should also sell drinks and snacks in the lobby (dried fruit from Cebu, cookies, nuts, literally anything) 24 hours a day. I would find myself waking up craving a midnight snack or just wanting something simple to bring to the beach. Given how locked down the property is, a mini convenience store or even a simple vending machine is necessary.

Spacious property, perfectly secluded, direct beach access, polite and accommodating staff

Excellent

Gorgeous views, amazing pools, great drinks

Well kept property, friendly staff, good dining options, and plenty of pools.

These are the facts. Was not told the complementary breakfast was only for 2 adults until we went for breakfast. Dialing zero for assistance doesn’t work. The only number we where able to get to answer was house keeping. First night there at the Cafe’ went to order and half of what we wanted wasn’t available. Ok we found alternatives off the extremely limited menu. Next day tried the other choice and the same thing happened. Literally half the menu isn’t available. Usually when you sit down and the waiter offers water it’s free. Not here. 90pesos each. Checkout takes forever as they inspect the room before you can leave. Supposedly we stained a hand towel. Ok maybe. But we waited 45 minutes and then still had to ask if they where finished. And when we asked the attendance pulled the paperwork from under the counter. Kind of shady. 333pesos for a hand towel. Pretty exact and expensive. The pools are nice. Beach leaves something to be desired. We didn’t do any water sports as we didn’t have time. It’s a one lane street to get there that is usually very busy. But spend some time and you can eat somewhere else for much less. The house keeping staff is fast and polite. Actually all the staff is polite. Just crappy policies in my opinion. All the pools but 1 close at 5pm. I will never return here. But take this and decide for yourself. This was cheaper than others and it shows. Also the spa was closed from the tropical storm 2 years ago.

Two star property with 5 star potential

Curbs are cracked and missing large chunks or stone that need repairing. The pools were designed without surface water skimmers so nothing is filtered that doesn't sink to the bottom of the pool or removed manually. Food was excellent at both restaurants!

It’s ok, still recovering from the typhoon

Lovely property, friendly staff

All the amenities imaginable. Beach a bit rocky and I would recommend sea shoes to enter water. Pools are magnificent
