Hotels near Mt.Panit, Camarines Norte

While en route to Calaguas last summer, my bestfriend and I decided to stay the night at Hotel Formosa to explore the capital of Camarines Norte - Daet. We booked the the hotel upon the recommendation of a friend who had stayed there before. We arrived early at around 1pm but we understand that the check in time is 2pm, which is standard for all hotels. We were lucky enough to chance upon the owners of the property who were very welcoming. While waiting, they offered us a complimentary sandwich and premium options as a welcome drink - from a glass of wine, pineapple juice and a cup of Nespresso coffee. Being the coffee lovers that we are, we opted for the Nespresso. We then proceeded to our room (we booked the superior suite) which we were delighted to see was spacious, spot-on clean and had a balcony that allowed us to enjoy the view of lush greenery. Suffice to say, we had a good night's sleep. The breakfast was also one of the highlights of our stay as I still think about the omelette we had to this day. Overall, a remarkable stay and I highly recommend booking Hotel Formosa if you find yourselves in the quiant city of Daet. Will surely be back!

There is no elevator, you can walk to the 3rd floor and there is a public market and convenience store nearby. To go to city hall or the mall, you have to take a tricycle and Grab is not used.

For a short stay and the location is great near the market and jollibee is near.

You can actually pay for 12hrs stay only but there's no option here and we end up paying full amount but stayed less than 12hrs. The owner was nice and accommodating. It's great for short staying guests. They have a big rooms also for big families.

Nice gym and nice pool. Service of the staff was pretty good and cordial. However, we did not have a hot water after the brownout. We were told to wait for 30 mins. to an hour after the electricity came back. We waited 2 hours with no hot water. The shower bath tub is not safe at all. It was too high and dangerous. There’s no anti-slip and that makes it even dangerous. Another is, there’s no electrical outlet on the left side of the bed that makes it hard to charge the phone. Also, I requested a box of tissue paper and I received 2 toilet papers. I was informed they don’t provide tissue paper. Of all the hotels we stayed this is the most expensive, but can’t provide tissue paper. We’ll try UMA next time.

Had a few days in the city of Naga, where all pink blooms begin. The hotel is one of those conveniently located at the bus terminal and near the new part of the city. If your a tourist going to the old part is a distance by walk, the next best is a trike or vehicle. Rooms are ok cable TV has limited channels. The bathroom needs more work done. During my stay the basin was clogged up due to other guest disposing their food, the issue was quickly resolved by the management. Food at the café below is worth the price, it keeps your belly full till you reach the city for other, gastronomical options. The staff are great and friendly. No problems on this department. Would I still stay here in my future visits. Yes, but will try other, hotels in the city too. #RP

This is a no frills hotel that gives you value for what you pay for, but what makes it shine and excel beyond its competitors is the quality of service. I was assisted by Junna to change our room after we discovered stains and a shoe print on the covers. Junna went the extra mile and personally inspected the new room we were to be assigned before giving us the new key card. That level of dedication to hygiene and guest comfort by a front office staff member is very rare nowadays. When we went to the cafe that evening for coffee and desserts, we enjoyed marvelous service from Joseph and Lito. They were very warm, and anticipated our every need. Again, that is something that makes this hotel shine. For breakfast, again, we enjoyed great service from Jonathan. There is only one downside. The breakfast area assigned to us was a tiny, humid and warm veranda. The interior designer didn't think to put fans or insect screens in that outdoor area. Jonathan brought in the staff fan from their own area just to try to keep us cool in the tropical heat. Staff initiative is really there, but space planning was lacking. Luckily we had breakfast and checked out early because that veranda would not be a great place to be at when all the other guests show up for breakfast. Their team really made our stay memorable. I hope management has a good talent retention programme because good hotels are a dime a dozen in that region and top service is their only real USP.

New hotel built next to the Robinson shopping center. Splendid lobby and warm welcome from the staff The check in and check out procedures went very smoothly The rooms are spacious and comfortable and offer a beautiful open view The restaurant has a varied menu and good home-made dishes Regarding the points negatives to improve: - service problems in the restaurant (dishes arriving cold or lukewarm) - presence of a few ants at breakfast on the condiments - small, pleasant but unsupervised swimming pool (presence of many screaming children disturbing the tranquility of the place) - work in the room below at 7 a.m., not worthy for a hotel of this quality - hotel slightly out of the center Despite these defects noted, the hotel remains probably one of the best in the city and I would return with pleasure
