Could be better

Customer service was lacking with the lady at check out. She ignored my question and was rude. Maintenance was very helpful to fix issues related to my room. Service at the restaurant and bellboy service was nothing to write home about.

Matabungkay has established itself as part of Lian's heritage. It has been around for years and has been itself a regal reputation. Though the place looks a little dated, it keeps the Philippine heritage alive and well.

The deluxe room we asked for was basic and should have been a lot cheaper, and we demanded a change. We were still charged most of the cost for the original room, NO SIGN OF GOODWILL! We took 9 family members to this over-rated resort, and NONE WERE IMPRESSED. Our advice, give this place a serious MISS!

For a wonderful getaway

Staff are friendly and polite. Fast check-in (maybe because we came in a weekday and lean season). Rooms are clean and well prepared. The breakfast we had is plated and it tastes good. Water activities are at a reasonable price too

The service was good, but activities were hard to schedule and the location was difficult to get to. We wanted to dive, but they weren’t available for a discover scuba, and we wanted to get massages but the availability was limited for both the massage and sauna times.

Matabungkay Beach Resort is not worth it.

We are not happy at all. The hotel is very old yet pricey. Every corner of our room smells old and the air conditioning is horrible. We're made to endure the remote third floor room during our stay. We are never going back to Matabungkay Beach Resort. Not even if they pay us to do so. So you know.

Worst and old but still expensive Boring place

I regret this place. old and poorly maintained A waste of time for my family vacation where we all came from California Staff was greedy too adding extras every time but did not provide extra service Also those 35 year old jalousie windows let smoke from locals burning leaves and trash teice a day morning and night and made us dizzy inside a risk of carbon monoxide poisonong

Front desk clerk insisted to see confirmation on my phone when she was already ready to give us the room keys. She just wants to give me a hard time. She said we are not allowed to use hotel facilities-water activities because they have 3000 hotel guests who already reserved them and will be in use all day...not apologetic at all..more like flaunting it..oblivious that we too are hotel guests and are entitled to same amenities. This is not a 3 star hotel..more like 2. Very noisy starting at 7:00 am.

Faded glory

This is faded glory. While we were there several corporate outings took place with loud karaoke drowning out any sense of peace and quiet. We cut our stay short to look for something more peaceful. We booked a suite but not a single window offered a view. We might as well have been on Mars. The staff were friendly but that did not compensate for the utter disappointment of the place.

Lack of complete information on the internet

The information on the internet is not totally complete because nothing is said about the facility not having any elevator. It is difficult especially for senior citizens with mobility problems to navigate three flights of steps going to the rooms on the third floor. The picture of the beach was nice online, however, we could not enjoy the beach because the three days spent in this resort was awful not being able to swim due to very low tides everyday. We have to rent a canoe to bring us to a deeper part of the ocean and walking on the rocks just to board the canoe was too inconvenient and painful to our feet, We specifically booked this resort because we wanted to swim in the ocean and unfortunately, we were unable to do this because renting a local boatmen gets kind of expensive and walking on the rocky sand was too painful. The restaurant onsite, however, was nice and despite a lack of a list of menus, the food was good, not too great especially the breakfast. For Americans, wanting a western breakfast of pancakes, eggs and bacon is a disappointment, pancakes were doughy and chewy, eggs not cooked right and bacon was replaced with local longanisa. If you are looking for a great beach resort, this is not the place to go or visit, you will be disappointed by the regular low tide and the water does not get in until very late in the afternoon and the ocean coming in was not blue and clear as shown on the website. We had to settle for the swimming pool.
