Hotels near Silliman University Anthropology Museum, Dumaguete

The place is good if you have business to do in the city area.

I spent 5 night at Hotel Dumaguete with my wife and 5 y/o daughter. We had the best time ever. Very nice modern rooms. The staff were absolutely over the top being very accommodating, kind, and respectful. They are always smiling and will go out of the way to make sure you are happy and satisfied. The restaurant/deli in the lobby (Piapi Deli) serves up some really great meals at a very reasonable price. The roof top wine bar (The Pawnshop), is also very nice with an ample assortment of wines and cheeses. Conveniently located close to town and the famous board walk and boulevard with too many restraints to choose from. Be aware if you have children or you cannot swim that the swimming pool does not have a shallow end so to speak. 5 ft is the minimum depth getting deeper from there but very clean and very nice. Time and money well spent for sure. I highly recommend this hotel and will return sure.

This hotel exceed my expectation....above standard wow All staff will greet you with happy and heartily mabuhay!!!! Frontdesk super friendly and accommodating with all the details provided Room cleaners are very good and friendly Security are very helpfull all the times with smile and greetings... Super happy with the stay.....

Good, clean room with nice room service serving good food, nice swimming pool. Nice view from the balcony of the mountains. TV was a good size with excellent channel selection. Wasn't too expensive, but I believe rates have now gone way up.

This hotel is located near the Dumaguete airport and is decorated with many artworks. Unlike hotels in the city, it's generally quiet, but there are live performances in the hotel restaurant, so you can hear music until quite late, so it might be suitable for families with children of elementary school age or older. The customer service is friendly and the restaurant has high chairs, so if you understand that, you won't have any problems bringing young children with you. Also, you can flush toilet paper down the toilet, which is rare in the Philippines. Although we weren't in the city, leaving food in your room attracts a lot of ants, so we recommend hanging your luggage on hangers or floating in the air instead of leaving it on a table.

friendly staffs, very accomodating.. I love to recommend this place for your stay.. me and my son really had a great time..

A pleasant hotel to base ourselves for 4 nights to do the whale shark watching and the canyoneering. The large sliding door wardrobe was great to store all our luggage and belongings out of the way. The free secure parking was great for our hire car which we needed to access restaurants. The last dinner order at Eden was taken at 6.00 p.m. The beach was rocky and unappealing for a swim, but the infinity pool was great. Views were spectacular and we highly recommend this hotel.

Hotel environment is very good, breakfast is relatively simple, there is a spa center to make an appointment, lunch and dinner are eaten at the hotel, the price is not expensive, tastes good. From the hotel to the apo island, the tutu car gave 200 pesos. The driver should be very satisfied. He also asked to leave the phone to pick up the boat. He went to the apo island to charter 3000 pesos. After boarding the ship, he also collected the life jacket, the island fee, the snorkeling fee, etc. 300 pesos.

One word to describe Bluewater Sumilon Island would be PARADISE! We were greeted by a mild-mannered receptionist (if i remember it right, Kevin) before we hopped on the boat. Sit on the first row, if you wish to enjoy the water splashes. We didn't mind as we were still wearing our swimmers from our whaleshark experience. We got there about 1pm, the room was ready about 3pm, but no trouble, because we enjoyed alone time in the infinity pool, took a nap on the daybeds, enjoyed a ”must order” halo halo on a buko, and fruit smoothies! What makes this place awesome is the staff, from the pool guy who picks up every leaf falling on the water, to the porters who helped our bags, to the friendly people at the reception and the dining area, even the nice ladies at the Amuma lounge. William's smile and attentive service is really heart warming. I'm not surprised why he's popular! Security is spot on! My husband flew a drone in front of our room and was told off 10 seconds later, which we are ok to abide. When snorkelling, I highly recommend getting a guide to the marine sanctuary. It's so worth it! It's good that the guides protect the sanctuary. There are only areas where you can snorkel, but plenty of fish, corals and clown fish. We stayed in premier deluxe room, which was very spacious, closest to the sandbar and best spot to watch the sunrise. Buffet dinner and breakfast are really good with plenty of options. Highly recommend, but would stay for more than 1 night next time.

The Island Front Resort is highly recommended if you are planning on staying in the Oslob area and/or are planning on seeing the whale sharks there. The Island Front Resort rooms are pretty basic, but very clean and located right on the water. It was definitely a very nice treat to eat dinner and breakfast facing the clear blue ocean and Sumilon Island, which is another tourist attraction. The staff are very friendly and helpful. As a matter of fact, if you plan on going to see the whale sharks, the staff will arrange transportation for you (at a very fair price) and even fast track you on the boat line with a complimentary guide, which will save you time and eliminate some confusion when you get there. The food (both the dinner and complimentary breakfast) was very good and priced very reasonably. I was hoping for just a clean basic room to sleep in (which I did get), but the good and fairly priced food and being fast tracked on the whale shark line were definitely nice surprise bonuses!! 😊
