Mindanao, Philippines hotel rooms at the Independent

"Staff was friendly who worked up front ! The cashier at breakfast restaurant maydawe I think that’s what it’s called ! Anyway lady did not provide the 15% Dusit discount ! I spoke to cashier and front desk and neither knew how to simple just credit back the 15% as it’s not difficult and it’s standard ! When you make mistake fix it and do not say I’m night cashier write your info down and I’ll see what I can do ? That’s not a way to handle the situation ! Bathroom also leaked water all over floor from shower ! The pool area is nice and the Thai restaurant are good ! Housekeeping very good ! "

"The poolside restaurant overlooking the beach provided a nice mellow atmosphere. Prices were very reasonable. Staff were very sweet and professional. The rooms were nice with awesome shower and hot water. "

"Staff were very helpful and accomodating. The room was very clean. However, the sink wasn't draining properly and when reported, nothing was really done."

"Clean room and great staff"

"It's a dirty and noisy place. For that 😂 it's 2 star but hotel itself in a very perfect place. Just doors are making sound, bathroom we're molded and door wasn't properly, in this price I think, this is what you get. It's my first time though so "

"I really liked the Retreat. My room was really a large apartment. Spacious with full length windows on two sides overlooking the sea, gardens and swimming pool. Nice restaurant area with idiosyncratic Korean inspired food. At fist I thought the room was a little rustic but that was due to customs built furniture pointed dark brown. In fact the facilities were bang up to date - separate toilet, basin and shower areas modern TV and good broadband. The beach was not really suitable for sandcastles and baying but scenic. "

"The staff was impeccable"

"Big room, polite staff."

"All good"
