Mindoro, Mimaropa hotel rooms at the Independent

"Second stay at LLV and, again, even being critical couldn't find a fault. Top notch room and amenities with speedy and always polite service. It's not cheap but you get what you pay for. The 109 steps up into room L88 are burning off some extra calories. Will be back!"

"Staff were absolutely amazing ! Food was delicous ! Best chicken courdon bleu! Resort was beautiful ! And there was a reef right in front of resort to snorkel at !"

"Extremely friendly people! My room had a lovely view. Most importantly, the air conditioning worked well! Great price for a great stay!"

"Highly recommended to our friends"

"Very scenic/romantic place to stay. Staff were really kind/helpful. Food was nice. Tv was broken, but we did not need it. Aircon was working but needs the outside box replacing, very corroded/falling to bits. "

"Nice boutique hotel with great staff, perfect for diving as we are near all the diving spots. A bit secluded, need a boat to get out of resort. Great stay overall!"

"After a very long trip to get there, I was greeted by the staff with "Oh sorry sir, your room will not be available for three days. Let us give you a different room until then." The room they offered was nearly a shack in the jungal, across the street from the beach with no refrigerator or wi fi."

"What a beautiful location. Right on the beach. Lots of chairs outside to just sit and take in the view of the mountains and islands out further in the water. The restaurant food is delicious. Lots of variety. Very reasonably priced. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Lots of them. They're always ready to serve. The pool is wonderful and clean. A walk on the long beach will make you forget any worries. They keep the property clean and well maintained. I felt so happy and relaxed there! The owner and his wife are wonderful people. I felt more like I was visiting them at their home, than staying at a resort. I would have loved to stay there for a couple of weeks."

"There are so many great things about AV Suites. The staff was great! Well trained but not robots. Very friendly and personable. They made us feel very welcome and really seem to take pride in the resort. First the views are incredible and stunning. Standing on the balcony of our room was amazing. We stayed for 9 days and the room was big enough for us. We didnt feel cramped up on the 1 day it rained. There are a few things I wish that I had known before we stayed there. Maybe other reviews mentioned it but I will stress that there are stairs. :) Blessed with stairs. I loved it it was like a daily workout, however, some people may not be so happy about it. Also, I wish I hadnt rented a car. The parking was a bit challenging. The driveway is a little scary to drive up because its super steep. When I go back..and I will go back.. I will just get a driver to the hotel and take Toktok or trikes for my transportation. That is probably the cheapest and easiest solution. I just want to say that the stairs and parking had little effect on our stay, but it is something I think people should know about. If you are not familiar with the area you should know that Aninuan beach is well within walking distance. Its not obvious, but there is a little entrance just a few hundred feet from AV Suites driveway on the other side of the road. I would recommend going there its great and the water is fairly shallow. There are some great local places to eat in Puerto Galera and on White Beach."
