Hotel berhampiran IGLESIA NI CRISTO, Lucena

Our family spent a night at 2205 Suites when we were heading from Tobaco City to Villa Escudero. We checked in very late at 11 PM at night and the check in process included picking one of the three rice dishes for breakfast. They also offer welcome drink like a 5-star hotel but the options are limited to black tea and coffee. It is my recommendation for the hotel to cut this offer because it really does not match the segment of this hotel and offers no additional value to the customer. Leaving some tea bags and coffee in the hotel room would be sufficient. The room is spacious with pretty new kitchen with appliance. The bathroom is also structured nicely; the standing shower is separated from the toilet and water from shower won't spill to the toilet area. The only complaint is that the water is lurk warm (or cold in my standard). Given that it was almost mid-night, I didn't bother to call the front desk. Just took a quick shower and slept for the night. Our room faced an open field and I truly enjoyed the view of looking at the river, coconut trees, and the playing cows. It is a hotel in a countryside and that is what I want.

The location is good. The room is clean. The buffet breakfast is also good. I booked 2 superior rooms for overnight stay on May 6 to 7. We encountered 2 incidents that happened when we were already on our deep sleep because we came from a long travel and was really tired, but was disturbed when a hotel staff knocked on our door at around 12:30 AM asking us if we ordered mineral water which we never did. And the other incident happened on the room of my brother wherein they were already sleeping but disturbed by a call from the reception around 1:00AM telling them if they are expecting a guests/visitors because there are visitors in the lobby but my brother didn't expect any guests . It was our first time to stay on this hotel and we were expecting a good and right service but unfortunately we experienced this kind of incidents. We also encountered problem on 1 superior room wherein TV is blurred and the aircon is not cold . They change the room to 1 single bed and just add a bed on the floor which for us is a downgrade.

Me and my girlfriend booked a room for 6 days. She chose this resort because it was not far from her residence and across the street from Kamay ni Hesus. What do you expect during a pandemic? When we entered the room, it was not maintained, clean or even prepared for guests. However, there was a welcome card on a table with me and my girlfriend's name written on it. This told me that staff had entered the room prior to our arrival. The refrigerator was not plugged in, the TV was not working properly; had to unplug it and plug it back in the electrical outlet to turn it on, the room was dusty, dirty, had fly wings on the furniture and reeked an odor of YUCK! Now when I complained, the staff was very attentive and sent a cleaning crew there ASAP but this should have been done prior to any guest arrival. So me and the misses took a tour of the resort and it was run-downed. It was not kept up to par as a resort should be in my opinion. The best part of the resort was the pool/bar area. There were many people coming and going; I guest for a quick getaway. I wont mention zip-lining and/kayaking, ahem. It rained for two days, therefore, we couldnt swim and afterwards, staff drained the pools. So me and the misses found a small recreation area that had billiards and a ping pong table and made the best of it. The next day we returned to play billiards and the balls, and pool sticks were gone. What a way to treat the guests, who could not use the pool. I didnt even complain to staff, I was so happy to be in the company of my girlfriend and spend quality time with her. Now, were both scratching from rashes on our skin. ***!!! OH by the way, the resort had a safe and telephone in the room that did not work.

We stayed for a night before going to Cagbalete Island. The port to the island is around half kilometer from the hotel. There is a restaurant on the ground floor. If you wanted outside food, there are convenience stores and eateries around. Best things are the free WiFi, hot shower, and free breakfast. The staff are really nice and the food is good. :)

We recently visited at the El Hardin de Zaida for an overnight stay with mom and my aunt and I can say it was all pleasant. The place was a gated property at the border of Laiya and San Juan. Check-in procedures were great and we had a special treat of being upgraded to the premium stay which gave us access to the exclusive pool that is adjacent to our hotel room. For the room, it was clean and spotless one but the vanity desk didn't have a mirror in front of it. The bathroom was nice. It had a drying rack, a bidet but the shower needs a bath mat to prevent guests from unnecessary accidents. Food was splendid. Late lunch, an evening at Rudy's and the breakfast. One of our highly considered decisions for choosing El Hardin de Zaida was the Spa. Prior to the trip, we called the place to ask if we needed to book a reservation for the therapy but we were told that we can avail the services on the spot. When we arrived, we were told that there was only one therapist available. We were three. Therefore, it would be impossible for us to avail 2.5 hours worth of wellness services all together. We hope that this can be carefully addressed to prevent the guests from expecting the availability of the spa. Overall, the stay and the food was great.

Good cheap hotel with parking space , very convenient for a night. Rooms are clean and AC works properly. There is a 7 Eleven in a walking distance.
