"Our stay was extremely memorable. Will recommend this resort to friends and family. The ambiance of this resort is one of a kind. Will definitely coming back when given a chance. "

"Clean and friendly staff"

"Hotel location is close to amneties. The room is ok and the bed is good. If you have early flights, be sure to contact a motorcab in advance. "

"My ETA was well past the last check in, but a member of staff was kind enough to stay behind. The dorm had 4 bunkbeds, an AC unit and a fan. The AC and fan worked well. Each guest was given a towel and a locker big enough to hold a large backpack. The bed had an Asian style firm mattress and a thin sheet, a private light, 2 sockets and a small shelf. Common areas include a kitchen area, dining/working area with breakfast tables and high chairs, and another lounge area by the reception. There's no AC in the common areas, although the areas were open with nettings to restrict insects, so at least there was air circulating. I never got bitten while in the common area. There are several toilet/bathrooms. These were always clean whenever I used them. The water pressure is okay, good enough and works. There's not much ventilation in the shower rooms though. There is Wifi throughout the property and it works well. Location wise, the hostel is roughly between the airport and town. it's about 15 minutes walk to the port and 20 to the centre of Dumaguete. There is a convenience store close by and several restaurants too. At night, the area is quiet, but you can hear the traffic in the morning. The hostel employ staff who are hard of hearing, so kudos for that. The communication can be slower, but please be kind and patient. The staff work hard cleaning several times a day. Overall, I had an excellent stay. The hostel and facilities are basic, but clean and comfortable."

"Clean, quiet, and convenient. Excellent staff. Breakfast buffet is awesome. "

"This property is awesome! The facilities are great and it is well maintained. The management was friendly and very accommodating. "

"Excellent place to stay if you are looking for peace and quiet after a long day of adventure around the island. Management and staff are very accommodating with motorcycles for rent onsite. The property is surrounded with plenty of trees and flowers making it a lot easier to “tambay” outside on hot days. Also free pick up and drop off at the port makes it all the more convenient for visitors. Highly recommended!"

"Rovira Suites is the best place to stay in Dumaguete. No competitor has really put together the same level of products and services. From tooth brushes you'd actually not mind taking home, to soft pillows that don't leave you with a sore neck, they've got it all down correctly. A suggestion I would offer to the management is being a bit more prompt on cleaning up what the customers leave behind would help greatly to maintain the brand."

"Such an amazing hotel very accommodating to our needs. Offered to rent us a scooter for a couple days. Had a beautiful restaurant in the hotel. Right on the beach. Clean rooms and pool. 10/10 would recommend"
