Hotel 3-Star di Mimaropa, Philippines

I really love this place! It's super close to the mall, which is great. The staff is so nice, especially the lovely lady at the front desk. She's just the best. The room is spotless and the hot water is a nice touch. I highly recommend this hotel.

On the surface this hotel has all the amenities you need, a great pool, gym, billiards, close to the beach, free breakfast and airport transfer. These were definitely positives. The breakfast was sort of strange - it was a buffet with one fruit choice, rice, meat dishes (chicken yesterday, fish or duck today), bread, waffles, condiments, salad, an egg station where you get egg made to your preference and 2 cereals. The quality was good, and you could certainly be filled on the food, but it was quite random options. We didn’t mind but it wasn’t for everyone. The main issue with this place is the room. It is wonderfully spacious and comfortable, but as some others have noted, there is EXTREME dampness. To the point on our first evening we had to call housekeeping to change our sheets and mop the floor. The humidity / dampness was running down the walls, building up on the floors and surfaces, made our bags and clothes damp and created a disgusting musty smell. We presume this is not an uncommon issue despite the ‘surprise’ of reception as the room is covered in mould. The only way to really help this (help but not fix entirely) is to have the air conditioning on extremely high and very cold, which we could not do as it was not warm enough and we did not want to get sick. The pool however was very clean, billiards and table tennis were a welcome benefit, but the beach is not swimmable so bear this in mind too. An okay stay if you have a connecting flight, but definitely not a ‘resort’ quality experience.

This hotel is absolutely amazing for the price. I'll start by saying there's a free airport transfer. You just need to write to the hotel in advance with your flight number and names. The breakfast buffet is incredible. There's a pool and a spa. Everything is very beautiful and clean.

The hotel room is very spacious . The room is perfect .i enjoyed staying at the hotel, the staff and front desk is very accommodating. They are very attentive on what i need. The hotel is close to SM ,public market and baywalk. Which is really good. I wish they have pool so they can maximize the view I also wish the they have more equipment at the gym. Overall, this place is great spot. For those who like to explore the city.

I would say that my overall rating of the hotel is a 4.5 out of 5. The hotel was well maintained, clean with friendly staff and tasty food at the restaurant and breakfast buffet. My actual room was really large, fully stocked and clean. It did not come with much of a few but it was quiet and very spacious. I could not hear my neighbors except for when they were leaving their rooms. It definitely had an industrial vibe to it, with certain imperfections to boost. But I felt like it added to the charm of the room itself. The whole hotel is designed with a unique charm. I felt like it was a safe neighborhood and plenty of security on staff 24 hours a day. The location is super convenient to the airport. I think it's nearly impossible to have a perfect hotel stay and I don't think I would ever give one a five-star rating but this one was really close especially for the price.

Lime is a good time. The front desk staff is ok. The staff that really shines is on the rooftop pool. There is a waiter, whose name i regretfully can not remember, but he was the NICEST and most attentive waiter I've ever had. He said he's only been there a few months but you'd think he'd been there for years. Amazing service. The pool is amazing with beautiful views at sunset. Beautiful views all day actually. From 3-7 is happy hour and free popcorn and ice cream every day. I loved that. The pizza is delicious from Bella Vita. The beds are comfortable and the showers get hot and don't smell. Breakfast is pretty good, although I'm not a fan of the chemical tasting juices. I did have a problem with my door, front desk said they'd send someone, no one ever came. So I had to throw my body into the door to get it to close. The TV Netflix and any other service didn't work not once. The TV has very few channels but at least i could understand them. They were able to arrange my van back to PP and retrieved my bags when it was time to check out.

The toilet is very old and had no water pressure. The food in their restaurant is expensive and not very abundant. The decorative figures are too much, too many wooden animals statues, but okay, it’s 15 minutes away from the airport and we only stayed a night. The staff is very kind.

One of the best hosts we had travelling Asia, he was a legend and very open and honest. We were not at the hotel very often and came and went at very stupid times but they were always accommodating.

We had an affordable and wonderful stay here! The beachfront location is perfect — truly just steps from the shore! The front area is very nice and welcoming. The only downside was that housekeeping was a bit slow to respond, but overall, we still had a great experience at Dreamwave Hotel. Definitely recommended for budget-friendly beach getaways!

The location isn't bad, but it's on the opposite side from the airport entrance/exit, so just keep that in mind. There are several restaurants within walking distance, so you probably won't be too inconvenienced. This time, my purpose was just to sleep there, so I didn't prioritize the 'hotel life' experience much, but if that's important to you, this might not be the place. The staff were perfectly fine. The breakfast wasn't luxurious, but it was tastier than I expected.
