Hotel berhampiran STI, Bandar Tarlac

Due to the Chinese Plague you have to find your gems closer to home. After not being able to leave for Baler for the weekend the girlfriend went on Google and came up with The Farmhouse by EDL. I'm all ears when things are not expensive so we booked two nights. The friendly staff made us feel welcome immediately. First impression: cosy, quiet, friendly, clean, very nice pool... Upon arrival we were the only guests so the staff took the liberty to upgrade our room. Due to the absence of guests we had to whole place to ourselves the entire stay. Just relax and enjoy the sound of birds and streaming water. Peace and quiet, no internet... It's not a surprise that we booked an extra night. Due to COVID it wasn't possible to do any activities during the time we were around, this was only told after arrival, it would've been nice to have known this earlier but the rest I found here made up for it.

Nice hotel and good location

The room and staff was really good Sobrang bait nila but here’s my experienced sa facility. 1. No WiFi 2. No socket near the bed (di ka makapag charge) 3. No TV Channel only movies (downloaded) 4. No double lock for the door 5. Sobrang baho ng tubig (Amoy kalawang since it’s deep well water) but still dumidikit ang yung kalawang sa katawan and worst pag nag tooth brush. 6. Yung room namin sobrang Ingay di ka makatulog since Malapit sa kalasada 7. No available slippers Hope they will improve yung mga na experiences namin during our stay. Thank you.

On arrival a gate-house guard let us in without instructions. After a few minutes of confusion we found the reception. We could see that it is just as it looks the photos; a beautiful quality built and very well maintained sparkling clean boutique hotel. We went to their 'Sunset Grill’ restaurant and seated by lovely staff, a little to eager to take our food order. The room was cool and music was calm and ambient. Exhale, after a long drive - perfect … Suddenly things erupted as the gentle music switched to blaring, loud ”Happy Birthday too you” .. the staff waiting our order burst into loud clapping hands. Repeat and repeat the song in different versions, and the clapping! I went out to the garden but it was also playing outside! I was out on the grass oval before I was far enough away from it, my wife and kids following. It eventually subsided so we returned and tried to and relax, but the birthday group was now shouting. A few pesky flies arrived and persisted, and more shouting so we set up outside. I ordered a NZ white wine at 1,900p, and it wasn't pre-chilled..!? We tried to relax and chill the wine, but many more flies, so we go back inside, but flies are inside too. The food came out and it was good, but stone cold mash potato - I dislike being served cold food, and I cant stand flies on us. We went back for dinner after 9pm. I ordered the steak and explained to the new staff shift that my lunch had been cold and to make sure the dinner was hot, especially the potato. It came out stone cold, again! .. with the worse steak I'd ever seen. Right at that moment about 9:40pm as the food arrived they started switching out the lights! We got up and left, forfeiting the food they already had us sign for. The next day while enjoying the beautiful hotel I notice the pool-bar by was not staffed, I found a staff and ordered 2 Budweiser but they only have 1 in stock. The coffee shop was not staffed either, nor the pizza bar. I walked to the restaurant and ordered pizza at the pool, but I am told I’m not allowed to eat it anywhere but in the resto, or in our room!?! The breakfast was awful - nicely cooked but bad choices of products; we forfeit our second day. Then the last day lunch was finally everything terrific! Lastly on the F&B, there was no water source for guests. So the reception kindly refilled our bottles with a source in the back office. The room is very nice and a good size, good AC and has views, but the bed was very hard foam with thin cheap sheets that are too small. Roll over, re-tuck the sheet, repeat, roll, re-tuck. No gowns nor toiletries either. I cannot understand why such a beautiful facility can have so many silly flaws. It is so close to being everything we look for - Boutique, Kid friendly, clean, play ground, games room and great staff with good swimming pools. Such a shame because I don't think we would return, mainly because of the bed. Quality Pillow Mattress Toppers and sheet set wo

Last minute booking on a return trip from Subic. The rooms are as advertised, clean, quiet and big. Wifi speed is excellent. Our rate did not include breakfast but there is a coffee shop outside and a convenience store for snacks.

Me and my boyfriend went to Midori to celebrate his birthday. The overall experience was good. The room was really spacious and well-appointed. The staff were helpful and friendly. Their food was great (even our pastry takeouts from their bakery). We got the chance to tryout their spa as well and it was very relaxing. Their ******, though small, is well-equipped. One thing we think needs improvement is their parking. Their parking is limited and It would be quite a walk to the hotel proper. Would definitely come back though, if the time permits :)
