Was running late to check in due to some travel issues. One staff member stuck around well after her shift ended, so that I could get checked in.

The rooms were clean, attractive, smartly deigned and well maintained. The staff were incredibly helpful, always cheerful. The place is lovely, and small enough to make you feel you're not in hotel. There's as a warm and cosy vibe, with the patio units wrapped around the pool and a beachfront bar. A second-floor restaurant serves a hearty breakfast and lunch. Lavanya is also open for dinner, though we found some more exotic dinner options just a short drive up the coast (notably the Beach Cafe and the upscale yet still very affordable Mahi Mahi dive resort.) As for the snorkelling & diving, we would go further afield to explore an epic coral landscape around the corner from the Beach Cafe. But there is a more modest yet wonderfully rich reef just off the beach in front of the resort.

The place is very relaxing. The room is clean. Good food as well. Friendly staff. Affordable and worth the price. I definitely want to come here again soon.

Clean room, helpful staff, beautiful view right in the beach. Excellent food I would definitely stay here again.

Very nice location with a beautiful beach and extremely helpful staff.

Pool is very well maintained Very close to the beach Very clean room Ocean view Very nice

Marielle and Kim were the two welcoming smiles that greeted us the moment we arrived at Lavanya, and from that point on, we knew we had found something special. We loved it so much that we extended our stay twice—it truly felt like a home away from home. The entire staff was wonderful, and I will genuinely miss them all. The interns, in particular, completely stole our hearts, and the local kids are an absolute treasure. Being so far from home in the US and fully immersed in a different way of life was an unforgettable experience. The food was honestly incredible—fresh, delicious, and far beyond reasonably priced. Snorkeling right off the shore was easy and fun, adding to the magic of the place. Out of everywhere we stayed in the Philippines, Lavanya was our favorite. It’s more than just a place to stay—it’s a community, an experience, and a memory we’ll carry with us. We will absolutely be back—with our boys. 💙

Bel androit, belles chambres, le personnel était très sympa et efficace.

Lovely spot. Fiod is incredible, compliments to the chef. Service super friensly and helpful.

The property was quiet / peaceful.The location Is perfect, right in front is the swimming pool & the ocean.

Kim and the staff were very helpful. Probably the best beachfront of resorts in the area. Reasonable food costs and plenty of options. Prices are fair, and some very cheap.would recommend to anyone staying in Zamboanguita.

Nicely placed next to the beach, away from any main roads, lovely smiling, helpful staff and very attentive staff *****.

Wifi ne marche jamais ! pas de bar, restaurant hors de prix et médiocre, cours de plongée devant la chambre et piscine à l'usage des plongeurs, zone fumeurs sur la plage sans cendriers. Quelques transats sur la plage mais sales. Personnel bruyant à 6 h am. Attention au départ on vous réclame le règlement du petit déjeuner pourtant inclus !
