Huge, clean, modern apartments. The grounds are beautiful, and the pool area is fantastic. Restaurant food was good. The staff were helpful and went above and beyond with helping with our ticket arrangements for Siquijor.

We did a tour to Apo Island organised via the hotel and it was horrendous; the worst tour I’ve ever done (I live in the Philippines and travel frequently here). I realise it wasn’t the hotel itself that provided this tour; but it would be great if they could recommend/line up better options. Also, van transfers organised by the hotel (eg to the airport or to the port) are extremely expensive for the Philippines.

This hotel s everything we wanted it to be and more! The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. I needed something from the pharmacy so they went and bought it for me, they delivered food to us from the restaurant (which is next door), they delivered our final bill and completed check out in our room rather than at reception, they booked a taxi back to the airport, carried all luggage without any requests being made....They were fantastic! The grounds are stunning, lots of green grass and flowers and trees plus multiple pools. Connecting to pura vida next door was also great because that was also a beautiful place, and it had a kids playpark which was a massive bonus! The actual apartment was fantastic, so much space and everything we needed was there. We had a two bed poolside apt and it was really spacious. I'd happily stay here again.

The apartment was spacious and homey. The staff were friendly and attentive to our needs, especially the service staff in the restaurant. Very lovely garden with a big swimming pool, the view of the sea from the balcony is quite stunning. I would like to go back and stay for a few more days.

If there is one thing I can add to make the apartment even more liveable, I would add a magnifying mirror for the ladies. A toilet kit complete with dental floss, cotton buds, a box of tissue paper and liquid soap for the sink. An overhead light inside the closets would also be helpful. Other than that, Pura Vida is my favorite place in Dauin.

We liked everything. The staff were friendly, and were always quick to assist us. The breakfast and the menu at the restaurant were very variable. Everywhere we went within their facilities were always clean. We will definitely come back and recommend the place.

We thought the New Year's buffet menu was not toeveryone's taste so found it expensive. We should have ordered from the regular menu instead. Other than that everything is more than we expected.

The beautiful apartment and grounds. The food and drinks that were varied

The fact that on check out the girl at reception wouldn’t believe me that I’d only had 3 bottles of water from the minibar. She said this had to be checked first. Which as I told her is frankly rude and disrespectful and distrustful! I told her I’m not a thief and always pay for what I use and never steal. Then after the mini bar was checked she kept giving me various amounts that I had to pay. I kept telling her I just want to know what I owe in total. She even tried to charge me for the overnight stay that I’d already paid in full on check in. Due to this untrusting nature it actually spoiled our stay and even though it’s a beautiful place we won’t be staying here again.

Absolutely loved the villa!! Great design and very spacious. The rooms were super comfortable and the 2 bathrooms were both modern and everything worked great. Nice big TVs and good WiFi. We arrived late and Vangeline gave us a lovely welcome... thank you to all of the staff, they were so attentive and a nice breakfast was served at the beachside restaurant next door. Thanks again and we look forward to returning in the future! A first class stay!

We had to leave :(

very very friendly and helpful reception staff, wonderful team of utterly caring and charming ladies (and gents) at the reception; wonderful room, well furnished, wonderful pool, quiet and relaxing, nice food in the restaurant, great snacks and drinks at the pool bar next door (part of the complex), great diving, wonderful housekeeping team, comfy shop near by, the place made us feel like being at home away from home; we will definitely return! Thank you VIDA HOMES TEAM

we couldn't stay as long as we wanted :-)

The food and drinks were excellent. I love the view and everything about it!

The beds were not too comfortable. They were too firm. My back was hurting the next day.

resort was well maintained

the front desk was not 24/7 fortunately the receptionist waited for us until we arrived which was late - around 10PM. miscommunication with regards to the free water - we were told that we have 1 liter of water free but it wasn't specified that it was the one in the pitcher and not the in the bottle.

Facilities, cleanliness, house staff, garden, security

A washing and drying machine would have been much appreciated.
