Manami Resort

I booked a stay at Manami Resort in January from London to celebrate my 50th birthday in May with my family of 6. Although the booking process was a bit challenging due to unresponsiveness via email, I managed to secure our reservation through Booking.com. We stayed for 2 nights in a 2-bedroom Ocean View Villa and a 1-bedroom Ocean View Suite. **Booking and Communication** Initially, I tried to communicate with the resort via email, but responses were slow and unreliable. To avoid further delays, I booked through Booking.com, which was straightforward. **Accommodation** The units were spacious and clean, with beautiful ocean views. The Ocean View Villa was particularly lovely, offering ample space and stunning vistas. The decor was beautiful, comfortable and suitable for a family stay. **Food and Dining** We enjoyed the breakfast buffet, which catered mainly to Filipino tastes. The selection was decent, but the food was quite Filipino-centric, which might be a plus for some, but less diverse for international guests. **Transportation** The resort offers a pick-up service from Bacolod to the resort for a fee of 14,000 pesos (return trip) We availed of this service, and it was convenient, making our journey smooth and hassle-free. **Staff and Service** The staff at the resort were genuinely lovely—friendly, polite, and accommodating. **Amenities** The resort boasts a private beach, swimming pool, and activities like snorkeling and kayaking. The pool was well-maintained, and the activities were enjoyable for the family. We went on a private boat tour and the staff were really lovely. **Overall Experience** Despite some hiccups in communication and service consistency, our stay was memorable thanks to the beautiful location, friendly staff, and spacious accommodations. The resort is ideal for families celebrating special occasions, especially if you value privacy and scenic views. **Recommendations** - Book via Booking.

the service! exceptional!

The restaurant Lingaw was amazing very delicious good value for the money. Danilo the cave tour guide was awesome and caring. Most of the staff were very friendly.

I don't like that we didn't get our 10 minute welcome massage that we paid for. One staff member tried to figure it our for us but the other just declined and said it was fully booked.
