The Oriental Leyte

We stayed overnight got two quadruple rooms for my family. Our room is very far away from the entrance lobby and restaurant, considering we have two senior citizens and babies. Room is okay, Toilet Seat stained, No Fridge No miNi bar, No Slippers, They have complimentary coffee but No Electric kettle. The Breakfast buffet is Okay! But I think the fruits are not fresh. My Sister had a Diarhea from eating the Pancit canton. The swiming pool is not clean, water is itchy, the floor sides of the pool are slimy. there’s no Beach towel provided after you swim, I askd the hotel staff twice. They ignored me The towel Didn’t came. Security is strict, they keep on asking what is our room number and how many persons. We had our dinner in the restaurant, they had fire dance shows. We waited almost one hour before our food arrive. Food Menu prices are expensive, small serving and is good only for one maybe two people. I like the lobby and surroundings but the plants are not well maintained. Insects and mosquitoes are everywhere. Better bring some insect repellent if you are planning to stay here. They have water fountain in between two buildings but the water is green with fungus and had a bad smell. I would not recommend this Hotel to anyone.

We're ranking it 'awesome' more because of its potential, and given that we had it for a discount. The place is beautiful-- the lobby is inviting, very much like some resorts you would see in Phuket or Bali, but please be informed that the seafront view is being constructed so it distracts the whole appeal. Check-in was slow, it's as if they didn't know we were booked ahead. Internet was also slow. There were also limitations with food availability, because not everything in the menu is available when we asked. Breakfast the following morning, however, is superb. Our room was spacious and clean, and the big glass windows is refreshing. Other than these hits and misses the staff are friendly and polite. We believe it could get better once its fully operational.

Nice hotel. Worth for the amount we paid for.
