Hotels near Gran Ola Eco Surf Camp, Surigao del Sur

Very nice experience booking hotel using trip.com. Very nice and clean hotel also my family love it

I stayed with my family. It is a boat transfer. You can communicate with local SIM here, but if you support it with WIFI, it will be almost unconnected. If you walk along the pier from the dock, you will find the front desk of the hotel. The pier is divided on the left when entering the island. If you walk on the left side, there is a cottage about ６ building, and the stairs are down from the cottage and you can enter the sea. I couldn't swim immediately because I went at low tide this time, but I was able to swim at high tide near the evening and everyone was swimming with a lot of fun. Meals are eaten in the dining building while coming from the dock to the hotel. There is a karaoke building next to the dining building where you can karaoke while drinking alcohol. There is nothing around and it is a little far from the hotel, so you can enjoy it without bothering you even if it is noisy. This time it was one night, but I would like to stay for two nights to spend a relaxing time.

The Grand Palace Hotel was a real let-down, starting with not living up to what they say. They claim to provide tea & coffee in the rooms, but there's no tea. Their web site says they have an airport shuttle, but they don't. Breakfast was disappointing too. Only 2 juices. Luckily one was usually pineapple. As well as the usual lukewarm breakfast items, they had some random cakes that were as bland as cardboard. Fortunately, you can walk through the Annex, cross the road and a few metres to your right is a bakery that sells doughnuts for 6 pesos that are vastly better. The hotel has guards with assault weapons and dogs. Seems pretty ridiculous and unsafe. Also the dogs spend most of their time living in cages alone next to the swimming pool. I had two bookings here, the first in a big king room. (They call it a ”matrimonial” room!) The WiFi mostly didn't work. It's totally inadequate for the number of people who use it, especially if a big business group comes in for a conference during the day. (The DHCP server just runs out of addresses and you can't connect until someone else disconnects.) Even when it connected, it wasn't very fast. One other issue I had was the appearance of cockroaches every so often. The small single room was a vast improvement, as well as being half the price. While the single rooms have no windows, they have two massive advantages. Firstly, fast WiFi that works. The single rooms are in a hall behind the reception area and have their own access point that works brilliantly and isn't overloaded. Secondly, the small room doesn't have so many places for roaches to hide. I didn't see a single insect intruder. Note for those who might be confused by this site: The information and reviews on this page are for the Butuan Grand Palace Hotel. There is also an Annex. Tripadvisor currently has the headings swapped.

Walking distance going to SM and gaisano, new hotel, clean and nice staff and good free breakfast

Everytime I come home, Watergate is my home.❤️ My one call away friend, Kate, deserves a big shoutout because she's always helping me with my bookings. I know there are times that she's not on duty, she always finds way to help me. This is one of the good things I love about watergate, they are willing to go extra mile for their guests!❤️ My current stay here in watergate became extra because they prepared a welcome note for me inside my room. I feel so special! Such a sweet gesture from you guys! Special thanks to Eri for the warm welcome and the rest of the Watergate Family.❤️ Truly the place you'd rather be.❤️
