The good: Nice location and landscaping. OK pool. Recommend visiting for an hour or so to take some photos. The bad: Almost too much to list. I am usually pretty easy to please regarding accommodation and dining, but this place seems to go out of its way to make your stay unpleasant. Staff are either rude or incompetent, accomodation in...

On March 27, 2013, my sister called in and the receptionist told my sister that they will have vacant room by noon. We supposed to have 2 cottages because I am bringing my whole family. When we arrived there and start talking to the receptionist, they end up giving us only 1 cottage. I asked if they will have available... More

it was an unplanned overnight stay at Caluwayan. It was recommended to us by the neighboring Jasmin Beach resort since they are fully booked. The rooms were new and modern, with infinity pool fronting seaside and overlooking rock formations. one thing to learn about "waray's" : upfront in speaking tagalog (not using courtesy words like PO and OPO, commonly interpreted...

very expensive stay, but the service is not good, no food- out of stock, the rooms have plenty of biting insects, rats etc. No considerations, they even charge the stain which came from the blood of the mosquito, they are only after of your money without returning it with good services and facility, and the lady manager acting as a...

I had great visits there for the weekend. It's 1 hour from tacloban by van. The place is very clean and good service. There is one thing you should know - no wifi / Internet. And the cellular signal is not so good ... I had good time there !

Nature: nice. Beach: plenty of jelly fish. Mobile signal: zero. WIFI: no. TV: NO. Overall conclusion: Stay far away from this resort. Samar has more... More

Fresh seafoods (crabs, fish, and more) plus native foods (camote, saging at puto). Clean rooms, cottages and CR. Well-manicured landscaping and well-maintained swimming pools. Owners are down-to-earth ... you cannot detect them as owners. And what's more? Prices are negotiable ... discounts are available for any type of customer ... an individual, groups, private or government ... sounds like an... More

Nice location, horrible service! Our group of 10 ordered a lot of food at the restaurant. We waited 2,5 hours for our food to arrive and when it finally did half of our order wasn't there. They were out of food but didn't bother to inform us at the time we made the order. Some of the staff told us... More
