The team at Dolce Vita are very lovely! As with the rest of our trip, Filipino hospitality is unparalleled.
We booked our king room without breakfast but ended up having all of our breakfast meals there anyway. It was very convenient, delicious and affordable. I had a traditional breakfast with tocino and my husband had French toast. Instant coffee and cream — would’ve preferred regular cream but that doesn’t seem to be the norm in the Philippines.
Our room was clean and well kept. A few things to highlight — they only provide one pillow for each guest, the safety deposit box is tiny, dated and did not work. You will not be able to store your electronics away. Although the place was built in 2006 (if my understanding is correct) the decor is very dated — if that’s important to you.
If you’re situated on the second floor you’ll have to go up a spiral staircase which may be dangerous. I’d note this when booking.
The pool was nice to cool off — quite literally as the water was cold.
The location was tucked away but the tricycle stand was just at the end of the next street so it was convenient.
Overall, great value for the price. I would stay here again and would recommend it.
