Marina Terrace (the restaurant) is beautiful for sunset and the couple running it, Kieran and Beth really make the place special. They are knowledgeable world travelers so we found kindred spirits. Kieran is an amazing chef who whipped up to die for risotto as good as we have had in Italy. They gave us great recommendations of where to go and what to do. This is an authentic local experience with few tourists. The town itself is very safe and close by there are some nice hikes and killer beaches nearby. We rented a scooter from them to get around and explore including riding it on Long Beach which was a ball. The rooms are basic with a comfy bed, hot water and decent AC. Rare for these parts is that the water is potable which is huge as you have no worries about getting sick. Highly recommended for travelers looking to hang out with the locals and enjoy a beer on empty beaches. We also rented a private boat and snorkeled some of finest reefs we’ve ever seen. Thank you Kieran, Beth and the rest of the crew for making this a standout among our many travel experiences.

I loved my stay here! The owners are absolutely 💯 on point. Great for a laugh and help with organising anything you may not have thought of. The food in the upstairs restaurant was outstanding and the views were dreamy. I am missing the Phillipines solely because i enjoyed my time here so much. Ill definitely be going back one day. Absolute gem of a location in San Vincinte!

We stayed in room 2 , it’s complete with AC , it has a refrigerator and with very good wifi and TV channels. The building looks rugged outside and neighborhood is laidback but locals are friendly. The town itself is not developed yet but its walkable to good waterway and the island hopping port is an easy walking.

Simple, but clean and comfortable. We booked a little room with bunk beds but we actually slept together in the bottom bunk, no problem at all! Has a nice nautical theme running through the guest house. Aircon is cold, shower is hot if you want it. Off road parking for bikes right outside. Susan, the owner, very friendly. Right price, which seems to be a rarity in the Philippines, so all good.

The authentic traveller experience we are all looking for is found here at marina 4rooms. This small boutique hotel is in the centre of the small fishing town of san vicente. There are a few excellent restaurants nearby and it is surrounded by beautiful beaches. We were fortunate to have the standard room and the view from the window is wonderful. There is always something going on in san vicente. My wife and i felt this could have been a place hemingway would have stayed, it has that feel of him writing sitting in the window and the strolling down to the mango bar to invent some cocktail we would all then order in the savoy. Its not a five star dubai plastic palace its so much more than that.
