Mindoro, Mimaropa hotel rooms at the Independent

"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!"

"Great stay. Staff were excellent and accomodating. Room was clean and facilities good. Food and beverage also good I will return. "

"Vše v pořádku a chci pochválit personál, který je opravdu užasný. Robert"

"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."

"Awesome!!"

"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."

"The Villa is a beautiful property with breath taking views, The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. A wonderful surprise was that they sent a car to pick us up at the port and to drop us off for free. Smart Tv in the huge villa room a clean swimming pool and a private beach with a coral reef the hotels provided free snorkeling gear .. Highly recommended slice of paradise. "

"Pros: Easy check in/out. We stayed 1 night on their apartment unit with enough space for a family of 7. Towels and toiletries were provided. Cons: Big cockroaches everywhere inside the unit. Receptionist gave us wrong WiFi password. It would be nice to have microwave or toaster since only 1 burner works on their gas range. We didn’t get the chance to see the amenities since their apartment units are separated from the main hotel building. "

"I really enjoyed my stay here. Very close to the town of Sabang for conveniences, and my poolside room was very comfortable with everything I needed including a fridge. Love the hooks everywhere as I had plenty of wet gear that needed to dry out. The restaurant had a huge range of food options and the quality was pretty high. Pricier than other places I stayed in Philippines but not crazy high. Diving was good, and dive centre is close. Pleasant to sit on the water and have sea breezes. Staff was very attentive."
