Hotel berhampiran Jairus Farm Resort, Mariveles

Resort was still on development. Trevi type fountain still to open by 3rd quarter. Mini villas with own plunge pool still to be opened by the 4th quarter. For an expensive suite , the bathroom was quite small , doesn’t even have a bathtub. But the internet Tv , cool AC and terrace was a nice touch. Breakfast buffet quite simple for that “luxury “ tag. But the service was just fascinating. Their butlers do extreme service , such as Michael who went out of his way to look for available accommodation for my driver. And Vince who not only did a property tour for us but also showed his splendid photography skills by doing great photos. Being welcomed by GM Frencine and FD officer Faye was also factors making it a memorable experience. Will come back in the near future to try their ultra expensive villas which has a private pool , koi fish pond and of course Alexa the voice control machinery.

Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar is a picture perfect place until you have to live in it. Our family (6 adults + 2 children) stayed here overnight. The only means to reach your hotel room is through a jeepney / coaster ride. We were checked in before 3pm, but was only able to enter our room at 4pm. The closest food vendor was already closed even though its advertised operating hours is up to 6pm. We had to wait for 2 more hours before another restaurant opened. The beach is about a minute walk from your hotel room which was fantastic. However, all restaurants, vendors are a 10 minute walk from the hotel room. Imagine a 10 minute walk under a scorching summer sun. You could take a jeep to the town square, that is if you're lucky enough to catch one. The facility is broken down into multiple areas. This is both a feature & a limitation. If you like long walks and beautiful views, this is perfect. If you're travelling with a disabled person or with small children, this is a challenge. There was an easter egg hunt the following morning, and plenty of walking and jeepney tours to be had. The place is even more beautiful at night, with all the lights and festivities. Come the end of our stay, we checked out around 12nn. However we were picked up by a jeep roughly around 1pm. The checkout process was relatively easy, but again , it was our trip back to the front of the resort / parking area that took a while. Overall it was a pleasant vacation. The resort crew were very nice and helpful. I would recommend others visit the place and enjoy a day trip instead.

Staff are accommodating. The place is appealing. Their villas are spacious. Their foods are delicious. I also appreciate their band who serenade us during our dinner near the beach, ”sayang lang kasi umuulan that night”, but still the whole team enjoyed the night. They also provide shuttle from place to place, fresh and new bath towel's are also provided in the beach, hindi mo na kailangan bumalik in your villas in case you forgot to bring yours.

Beautiful remote beach, perfect for relaxing. Nice staff, water activities and dog friendly.
