Suffering from world recession - Gregory Smith. Date of travel: Jul 2010
I lived in the Tamaraw Beach Resort hotel for 11 months to July 2010 and times prior to that. In that time I noticed a steep decline in service and standards. The night security staff were replaced by local village boys who also worked as cleaners during the day. Many times I found them asleep. The off duty staff used to party with alcohol in the hotel grounds.and most of them live-in. The hotel is building a large conference centre which is being built adjoining the hotel. The owners told me they had run out of money and it was delaying the opening date. 2 metres from the hotel rooms on the other side is 4 floor extension being built by the neighbouring hotel so the noise is a constant nuisance. I'm so disappointed as this used to be my favourite hotel in the Philippines. Not any-more . It's so sad to see a great hotel go bad.

Stayed in various types of accommodation in the Philippines. All in all, standards were pretty good considering the amonunt of money you pay. The service is undeniably good... some facilities my be inadequate but youll live by. The smiles and eagerness from the staff makes it hard to complain at times. Tour Operator: Independent
