Calayugan Norte Hotels from S$20

"We loved everything about this place. The rooms, location, food, facilities were fantastic. The pool was exceptionally good and well maintained. But the best thing for us was the STAFF. All of them were wonderful and I am sad to leave. I'm sorry I cannot remember all the names. But of the names that I remember from the guys at front of house in the orange shirts are Jane, Azia. Lang, Dars, Mike and (superman) Ralph. Of the security guys in blue I'd like to thank Amor, Lacia, and Eorreon. And the bar and restaurant staff, there were so many of you but of the names I can remember I would like to thank Gian, Jeb Jeb, Peter. You treated us to the freshest and tastiest filipino food at breakfast and at dinner time. I'd also like to thank the lovely gardening lady in green with her big hat, quietly working on the grounds to make them pleasant for all of us. The massage ladies I am grateful for you all too and for your healing hands. As I have said, there are just too many names to remember and I apologise if your name is not in this review. But I want you all to know that you were ALL appreciated by my husband and I. This resort, North Zen Villas, is one of the best hotels I have stayed in. I definitely recommend it and would stay again. Finally, I just want to say: Jane, Azia and Lang, whenever I eat coconut or candy, I will think of you now. I have no choice but to give the NZV 10 out of 10. Thank you SO much for looking after us. "

"excellent staff, clean room, family friendly"

"All of it"

"Very new hotel. Very clean. Room was basic. Had all you need for a short time. We stayed only 1 night. Would have liked to stay longer if schedule allowed. Very good exercise room. Great swimming pool. Breakfast buffet was great. Hotel staff were wonderful. Really loved this hotel. The only drawback is that it’s a bit off the beaten path. For us that was fine. Massage places in the area offer pickup service. If you've got a car, like we had, it’s fine. Looking for a nice place to chill out, relax, and stick close to hotel, then this is the perfect place for you. If you wanna be walking distance to Main Street then this isn’t. We loved it! "

"We loved our 4 night stay here. The service was excellent, the staff went out of their way to help, and our room was so comfortable. The breakfasts were delicious and healthy, but so ample we had to ask for them to scale it back! Not part of the resort, but JR, the local tuk tuk driver was a gem, drove us everywhere and acted as unofficial guide. Ask for him! The pool was lovely too."

"Staff"

"The room is sizeable, bathroom is clean, room is comfy and bedsheets arè clean but mattress needs changing, there are ticks, pricking me when laying down i have to use towels to double up my sheets but still i can feel the bites. Kudos to the 3am staff that processed our check out, he was extra helpful in finding us transpo going to the bus terminal since it was 3am. He is hardworking. "

"Friendly staff, the view is great"

"Service was magnificent. If you’re looking to get away and relax, this is the place. Thank you Secret Garden for the top tier hospitality."
