Hotel Feedback
“ Our trip to Manuel Uy Beach is one of the best! It's just a shame we came here during rainy days and it rained a lot around midnight. The beach is beautiful even if it's low tide (during afternoon). The sand is not that nice to walk on since there's a lot of trash from the water and small stones. We availed their Snorkeling Activity which costs ₱1,500 for 1-4 person and add ₱300 for excess people, then ₱100 for goggles. The activity is worth it, there are many fishes and corals under the water, but the waves are too strong so you have to be careful and stay together. They also have a good and proper life vest that will make you feel safe. The boat operator is also kind and the president of their organization, they gave us discount The comfort room is good. There are many cubicles for you to use, there's bidet and the flushes are working. As for the showers, you have to twist it for it to work, if you let go it will not work, I think they did this to preserve water. The cubicles for the shower is quite dirty and not that maintained, there are rusts and spots everywhere. It's better to shower outside if you don't mind. There's also a grilling area where you can do your bbq's. They also have paluto service where you give your ingredients and they will cook it. There's also a charging station where you can charge and plug your rice cooker (there's a fee). A store is already available where you can buy foods/drinks. There are also plenty of parking, but it might take a lot of walk if there's no more parking inside. It's much better to be early specially on weekends. Overall ratings: 9/10! ”
“ The place is relaxing and rules are imposed properly Cr/shower is not a problem Grilling area is available anytime There is a charging station Attentive staffs No rooms, only tents Bring everything you need Overall experience = Great ”
“ This beach is nice. Though the problem is the beach go low tide in the afternoon. And the last time I was there, there are so many people which is understandable cause its summer. But the beach really go low tide. You cant do anything from the afternoon until night haha ”
“ It's like a campsite and we rented a tent there. The beach is wide because it's low tide and the view is great but the sea water is dirty and you can't see the bottom. Be sure to bring own lights during the night and have covers over your tent and a good spot under the trees to protect from rain shower ”
“ The staff are friendly and very helpful. But the campsite could get crowded, most especially during weekend. It was a great experience nonetheless. Very kid friendly. ”
