Montani Beach Resort Puerto Galera Powered by Cocotel

Had a pleasant stay. The location is just right and service is good.

simple hotel

Well located and very friendly staffs.

The hotel is nicely situated alongside the boulevard/ ocean. Within easy walking distance from the center of Sabang but in quiet area. The staff is wonderful and the pool is lovely. There was just one room available, room 1 at a premium price. The ocean view is lovely and the room is nice. The toilet is a bit small for westerners and the shower has limited power compared to other rooms I stayed in. I also had to ask for vinegar to clean the shower head because the water was squirting everywhere but down. The aircon in the room is not sufficient to cool the room. Conclusion: I love the hotel, but next time I’m going to stay in a superior room again because the extra price for the seaview room does not meet expectations.

I have stayed twice before and received a very warm welcome even from the Chef & cleaning personnel. I LOVE the bed & bedding and the layout of the room especially the CR & shower being close together as I am physically challenged. My room was cleaned regularly and very quickly and none of my personal items were touched or moved and my laptop & tablet were on my desk throughout. A freshly caught TUNA ( I bought ) was prepared for the following night as instructed by way of tuna steaks & Kinilaw which was prepared perfectly. I bought some Korean mushrooms and tofu which the chef also worked wonders with and I had sufficient food for days on end. I requested fresh vegetable soup which was WONDERFUL always. I think its a small additional charge for eating what one wants and not off the menu items. KUDOS to BOTH CHEFS, MEGA THANK YOU. Montani's situated where they are provides peace & quiet and not once could I even hear guest I knew were next door on both sides. The owner ( both husband & wife ) should take a leaf out of the book of the personnel and GREET when close or passing by BUT they NEVER DO but I've had this experience at another resort in Olangapo (staying there 16 years already as my resort of choice) and the owner BARELY greeted me recently and only because I greeted first. Frankly, ITS RUDE & INHOSPITABLE this all during low / slow season when the resorts are never at capacity.

Montani has been renovated by new owners that took over. Rooms are updated, most of the excellent service minded staff is still there and they have created a new roof top terrace. Where you can have a drink to see the sun set. Furthermore, the foods are still very nice. Two recommendations I have for Montani: 1. The rooftop terrace is very nice, although if you are in the rooms 17-20 you will experience a lot of noise from guests coming back from the bars late at night who bring their girls there and drink. My suggestion is to close the rooftop terrace after a certain time ... like 23.00 2. Although the wifi in the restaurant and the bar is always good, the wifi in the rooms is terrible and often not there. This really needs some improvement.
