Venezia Suites Resort

Happy with my stay: you get what you pay for :-) Very happy with my 4-night stay at Venezia Suites Resort. I’d booked a Superior Suite (1 bedroom with refrigerator and pool view): a large room with everything I needed plus a good size ensuite. Bed was big and comfortable and all linen was clean with high standard of housekeeping services provided. Property is managed by a husband-and-wife team who were always friendly and helpful. Breakfast was included in my stay and there are a number of choices available of good quality food. Everything I wanted was within a reasonable walking distance and I usually walked to Alona Beach (20 to 30 minutes) but if you don’t feel like walking trikes are plentiful and the trip each way is not expensive. I arranged my own transfers to and from the ferry terminal. The only possible downsides I would mention: • It’s what I would consider a budget hotel, so you are getting what you are paying for • The room had some type of emergency system with LED lights and these are quite bright, which interfered with my ability to sleep • I don’t think the TV works, but this wasn’t an issue for me, as I wasn’t really interested in watching TV • There is a small international airport on Panglao island and I got woken up every morning around 1am…but this could be an issue regardless of where you are staying • The swimming pool is cleaned every day, but I couldn’t smell any chlorine and the water looked a bit cloudy. I was happy to cool down in it for a few laps, but I kept my head above the water.

Online pictures are deceiving The office manager was doing all the work to run the hotel which led to poor service and maintenance of the hotel. The pool was murky and the water running through the faucets were slow and dirty.
