The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Spacious Rooms!

I was delighted with the Octagon Villa (Sea View) that I stayed in. The room was spacious and beautifully decorated with a Filipiniana theme. It had enough space for extra beds, making it perfect for our family getaway. Despite some glitches with the hot water, overall it was a comfortable and stylish room that I enjoyed relaxing in during my stay.

Endless Activities!

I loved the variety of water activities available during my stay! I had an amazing experience trying out the jetski and paddle boats. The thrill of riding the jetski was worth every peso spent. The environment around the pool was relaxed and welcoming, with plenty of options to unwind after a day filled with fun.

Delicious Breakfast!

The buffet breakfast was a highlight of my stay! Each morning, I looked forward to a fantastic spread that changed daily, so I never got bored. The Filipino dishes were flavorful, and it felt great to start my day with such a hearty meal, which included a platter fit for a king!

Ample Parking Space!

One of the conveniences I appreciated during my stay was the ample parking space available. I didn't have to worry about finding a spot for my vehicle. The parking area was well-secured and conveniently located, which allowed me to focus more on enjoying my vacation rather than on logistics.

At first, I found it strange that the hotel wasn't too crowded, but it turned out to be a positive as it offered a more peaceful stay. The room was furnished with everything I needed, including toothbrushes and disinfecting wipes. However, the room seemed dated, with a musty smell and splattered dead mosquitos on the walls.

My stay at the hotel was cozy enough for my family of 5, with a plated breakfast fit for a king. The rooms were a bit old and dated but spacious, although they had a lingering smell and unwelcome cockroaches. The service from all departments was great and very helpful. The location was good for enjoying the sunset, but the area seemed a bit run down. The dining experience was good, especially with the local delicacies like kapeng barako and maja mais, but could be improved with more variety. The facilities offered dry cleaning and laundry services, but the resort seemed a bit pricier compared to nearby beaches.

My stay at Matabungkay Beach Resort had its ups and downs. The location was ideal for watching the sunset and the friendly staff made me feel welcome. However, the musty room with dead mosquitos was a major downside, and the dining options were a bit overpriced. Despite these drawbacks, the friendly service and nostalgic ambiance added some charm to the experience.
