“Reserved rooms..no more!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 March 2008
3
people found this review helpful

i called the the girl owner of this resort and ask if she can booked us during the holy week of 2008. i am with my husband and daughter, my parents my sisters, and brother in law. she said she will email me back the rates. 2 days later after waitng she responded to my email indicating the rates. it is a super peak season, their rate is of course a bit higher but since it is very difficult already by that time to look for a cheaper accommodation i told her to reserve the rooms for us.

again she told me that she will email me as she is so busy with her work. after a week and there is still no email i called her again and ask her how can i make the downpayment , for the nth time she said she will email me but i can rest and relax as she already reserved the rooms for us. i keep on saying that it is hard to make a reservation at that time so i hope we already made a deal plus i am with my parents. she affirmed that i do not have to worry.

a week before our scheduled flight she called me offering me rooms from different resorts and hotels. i do not want to be rude to elders so i just followed her instruction to call but all of the place are fully booked already. what do you expect? it is only a few days away before the lent.

i told her my plea and our agreement, instead she texted me again another number for our reservation but i did not heed anymore as i am already irritated to her.how can she made the agreement and later on tell us that we should look for othe vacancies? she should have told me beforehand.

i look for their place when we got there March 2008. it is far from the shore which is not good since u will get tired before you can reach the white sand. and it looks like ur staying in an apartment. yuck!

i definitely do not recommend this place!

“Villa Paula... simple, fun and different kind of frills!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 August 2007

person found this review helpful

A minute's walk to the nice, quiet, wider and less-algae infested beachfront, Villa Paula has sunny,folksy, clean, comfy rooms for a good price, especially those of us not wanting to spend an arm and a leg.

Close to talipapa for cheapo and tasty meals and supplies.

Maricar & Jun run a tight ship with helpful staff (and security). Plus points are neighbor favorite Baracuda Snack Bar (yummy tasty pancakes for breakfasts & a pork snitzel with pasta dish whose name I forget thats good for two!) and green ice at the bar...

  • Liked — good valued rooms, staff and breakfast at baracuda

“Budget Friendly; Near the beach & D' Talipapa”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2007
1
person found this review helpful

Villa Paula is non-beach front but less than a minute walk to the beach. It is also walking distance to D' Talipapa (roughly 3 minutes). It is situated in Station 2.

The room is clean. It has aircon, TV with cable, refrigerator, emergency light, hot and cold shower, and a thermos for hot water. You can ask the housekeeper for free hot water.

Their bathroom is also clean and cute, almost perfect for me but it does not have a shower curtain (one of my pet peeves). So when you take a shower, the bathroom gets all wet, including the toilet bowl and the sink area.

The price is reasonable. The owner gave the room for P1,350 per night (off-season rate).

There is also a security guard at night.
