Hotel dengan Bar di Roxas City

My husband and I recently completed a 3 day/ 2 night stay at Espacio Verde Resort in Roxas City, Capiz. The resort has 23 garden villas (either garden or lagoon view). We booked a Garden View room that had 2 queen beds. Pluses were: friendly and accommodating staff; excellent Customer Service; free airport transfer; spacious room; good air conditioning; large bathroom with walk-in shower area; comfortable beds. Although the room furniture was dated, room was clean and housekeeping provided fresh towels daily. I found the lighting in the room too dim; my personal preference are bright lights. The WiFi was often spotty and would intermittently disconnect. Our reservation came with breakfast included. On the first day, we had a buffet breakfast; however on the succeeding days, we were given the ala carte menu. Staff explained that depending on the number of guests booked, breakfast switched from buffet to ala carte. My only comment on this was with the Ala carte option, the guest could only have one free cup of coffee. There is a charge for refills. The resort has two restaurants: Abuelo, the main dining room; and Aquatico, the poolside menu. Poolside menu had more options; and hotel guests could order from either menu. The hotel manager referred us to a tour company Circulo Travel that drove us around Roxas City. We were able to visit the Sacred Heart of Jesus Shrine; the Immaculate Concepcion Cathedral; Santa Monica Parish Church with the largest 19th Century bell; Roxas Heritage House on the first day; ended with a late lunch at Coco Veranda; followed by coffee and dessert at Cafe Terraza. The second day was a trip to the Banica Dried Fish Center followed by lunch at Almax Seafood restaurant along Baybay Beach and dessert and coffee at Jacque’s Coffee and Chills (same street as Almax). Thumbs up for Espacio Verde Resort.

This is one of the two hotels in Roxas City allowed to operate in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, I expected it to be really clean, but it was not. There were small cockroaches on the bedside console and the shower room stank of urine. It's a good thing they allowed me to change room. As to the rooms, they were equipped with basic facilities ... bed, console, TV set, airconditioning, private toilet and shower room, phone, etc. Water pressure was okay, as well as the heating system. However, the walls were quite thin and you can hear all the noises from the adjacent rooms. The linens (bed sheet and towels) were also not very clean. The common areas, specifically the lobby and the outdoor café, on the other hand, looked very nice. There's also a small restaurant near the main entrance. There's a small parking space for hotel guests, too. WIFI is available in the rooms, but sometimes it is weak. This hotel is budget-friendly. Rate for standard rooms varies from Php 1,100 to Php 1,300. Executive and suite rooms cost Php 5,000 and Php 6,500 respectively. All in all this hotel is okay, but don't expect it to be immaculately clean. Hotel personnel is also very limited on Sundays, forcing the security guard to do multi-tasking.

Excellent staff and services, owner is nice and polite. Highly recommended for travelers especially that they have affordable rates.
