    So, if I don't bring my provisions there's no place where I could buy food at all? I don't feel like cooking anything on vacation, you see. Also, can you confirm that even with Option 1 accommodation, the toilet and bath would still have to be the one outside (as pictured)?

    Hello there, thank you for sharing. I've just called Kuya Willy and asked him to book me an air-con room he told me i have to deposit 50% reservation fee. May I ask how is the security of the resort at night, are we safe?

  25.  Avatar

    Yes, okay naman po security ng place. Safe naman po.

    Called Kuya Willy, he offered a 3 bedroom house for 14,000/night. I guess he's increased the rates since writing of this blog.

    We went back last week of November, same rates pa rin naman. I think the one that you inquired for was not included on my list here – thanks for the info.

    rip off naman mga price ng cottage at rooms. mas mura pa sa boracay at palawan.

    Possibly.But if you're from Manila, we could agree that we cant always get cheap airfares to Palawan or Boracay. That's actually the mere advantage. 🙂

    Hi! This is really helpful! Planning a trip off-the-beaten path this summer and came across Dasol (and your blog). By the way, I was wondering how the food situation is at the resort? Can we order from them or do we have to buy everything ourselves and paluto (and if yes, will we be able to store the food in their fridge as we won't be bringing coolers)? Thanks!

  48.  Avatar

    Hello there! Do we still have to buy foods in the market before going to the resort or there are available eateries in the area?

    Thank you so much sa blog mo it's more reliable than others. Just want to confirm if you still need to pay entrance fee kahit may cottage ka na?

  53.  Avatar

    Thanks so much for that great feedback.To answer your question, Yes need pa mag-pay. The entrance fee is more of a maintenance fee of the entire Balinmanok.

    Don't waste your time and money sa buong Villa Balinmanok nato. kahit Recudo 1 at lalong lalo na sa Recudo 2 na napaka rude ng caretaker na si ate Linda. Isang bagay lang ang positive dito, walang lamok. pero dagsa ang langaw. laht ng pagkain namin within hours puno na ng maggots. saka sana man lang inform nyo ang mga tao na impossible maligo sa beach nyo dahil puno ng bato as in pag apak mo sa tubig masakit. lahat kami may sugat. walang naliligo sa beach nato. Sa mga nagsusulat ng magagandang blogs about sa Balinmanok, misinformation ginagawa nyo, inform nyo naman sila na puno ng bato ang buong shoreline kahit saan ka magpunta. 20 people kami, wala ni isa nakapag enjoy sa beach na yan.

    Sir kahit kamaganak mo pa si Kuya Willy and Ate Linda, mas lalong walang papasok sa resort nyo, punung puno na nga ng bato na nakakasugat at basura sa dagat, napaka bastos pa ni ate Linda. We came a long way from this place and expected a little hospitality since we are customers composed of 20 plus people. Pagdating palang namin sinabi na nya kagad na di kami pwede sa mga kubo dahil mababasa kami kaya inooffer nya kagad yung aircon house na 6k na sabi nya STRICTLY for 10 people only. So we had no choice but to get it. sa natitira namin na mga kasama they decided to take the open cottages since isa lang din ang available nila na villa with aircon. 1500 daw open cottage na again STRICLY for 5 people lang. edi kinuha na din namin, the remaining 5 people samin nagtayo ng tent, at first sabi nya free na daw ang pagtayo namin ng tent, nung nakita nya na isa lang ang kukunin na open cottage, she started charging us sa pagtatayo ng tent.. No discount, no nothing. When we told her that we read that the room was just 5500, she replied “NAKU MATAGAL NA YUN ILANG YEARS NA YUNG SINASABI NYO NA YUN”….. So we realized na badvibes talaga si Ate Linda, so we all decided to leave and started packing things up. We left recudo 2. She is so rude, rough as the rocks that fills this beach's shore. Since lunch time na almost at gutom na kaming lahat, we ended up checking in sa recudo 1… the only difference is friendly si ate na caretaker dito and she gave us discounts aside from other perks like lending us monoblock chairs and icebox. Pero resort-wise, parepareho lang sila lahat ng nasa VILLA BALINMANOK, puno ng bato na coral-like sa talim ang beach nila impossible na makapaligo ka…Sa mga Blogger na sobrang positive ang feedback about sa VILLA BALINMANOK, We don't want to think that you guys were paid to do good write-ups. Funny how you all forgot to inform us and include in your blogs that the place is crawling with sharp rocks, maybe we wouldn't have wasted our time and money. Nakakaawa ang mga bata, di man lang sila makaapak sa tubig dahil nakakasugat ang mga bato nyo.

    Hi. Thanks for sharing your experience. That would be a great help for everyone including me. FYI. I pay for my travels. ��Been here twice and we enjoyed both trips. Dun sa rightmost part ng recudo 2 sa may malaking bato, dun ang pinakamagandang part. ��

    we decided to check out recudo 2 last week with my family. We asked the old lady for the small cottage good for 6 people but she said it was already reserved for the day, so she offered the 6k villa. We were about to unpack things when she told us that only 10 people are allowed to go inside the villa…. means eventhough there's 12 of us or even if the remaining 2 will be using a tent, they cant enter the villa. I mean what the! could there be any consideration since we came a long way from there? after telling us that we need to take off our slippers when we enter the common cr, that's when we decided to leave. We even asked for the owners personal number and she gave us 09202694783 just to find out it's not the owner but it's kuya willy's number. Before we left we asked the people from recudo 1 who that old lady was and we were told that it was ATE LINDA! We checked in at recudo 1 since the lady there (which was also the owner) was so kind to us. While we were at recudo 1, another batch of beachgoers arrived at recudo 2…same goes, they left after merely 15minutes of negotiations with ate Linda. Recudo 2 is really losing customers because of this lady. I encourage you guys to try recudo 2 and get to meet ate Linda, I'm sure you'll have a Blast!

    Upon arriving, I admired the old lady for proactively offering the 7k cottage which was for 10 people only. When she learned that we were just to take a couple of open cottages for 2k each, she left us while talking gibberish, went to her verranda and continued what she was doing, embroidering something that seems like a curtain. We tried to look for other people to talk to but this last guy who is seemingly busy chopping firewoods ignored us. We found out that the guy was kuya Willy, the guy we were calling for weeks but refuses to answer his phone. I mean, what's wrong with these people?

    There was high tide and low tide…low tide nandyan na yung mabato pero if high tide is mabuhangin naman…most nag enjoy dito mga mahilig sa underwater activities..once ang lugar ay mabato maraming fish ang gusto mag stay…kaya nga yung aquarium we put rocks so that meron silang tirahan and they played if you notice…if you like lahat buhangin or makinis better to go tambubong na after villa balinmanok. Tambubong is public beach and crowded. Here sa villa balinmanok is private resort safe and secured

    Thank you for sharing all your experiences here. At least, the other readers (including me) would be aware of these not-so-good instances and hope will be addressed. Villa Balinmanok is a nice place. Me and my family really enjoy going there. And by the way, this blog was written March 2016 and has been updated December 2016 since bumalik kami nung last of November. Luckily, maayos and masaya ang both trips.

    Yah its worth it, my kids enjoyed! they always followed clown fish, we went to shipwreck, at first we scared to get there but we did it! a memorable resort and recommended, as a mother the most i liked is the kitchen utensils! the resort lend us for free, except for the GASUL, well still alright we pay only around P200-300 not bad! rather than i bring my house just for cooking, its a far away home, we definitely go back!

    Can I share also? nabasa ko lang some of review na maraming seaweeds sa Villa Balinamnok? this is my 4th time to visit sa Resort October, Feb my birthday, and end of May. End of May you are correct maraming sea weeds sa shore hello!! thats the nature! pero sa month that we visited before that well it's heaven! who are you people complaining small things, if you are leaving in the complain zone go to the one na alam mo yung Resort, kaya nga you try see it if you gonna love it, if not then its up to you why you should broadcast and pagbintangan pa yung author if paid blog, well that attitude reflected to you Did you know that? Anyway Chasing Philippines thank you, the owner said let the rainy season pass daw muna, but were planning this weekend sana
