Base for our divings around Dumaguate. Near airport. (less than 30 min from hotel). Early morning traffic Good breakfast at Ground floor restaurants. Good lunch n dinner customers too . Walking distance to Why Not (burnt down fire accident), Casablanca, Grill house and many fine and affordable restaurants. High recommendation Third time staying here.

Location id convenient to other restaurants and the touristy part of town (Rizal Boulevard). Hotel service was fine. They are charging 1000 pesos for the three kilometre taxi to the airport which I passed on. Food very average and a shockingly noisy room right beside the main drag. The view of the mountains was nice.

The hotel's location and facilities were great. However, my room was on the 8th floor with no windows, which made it feel stuffy and cramped, which was inconvenient. On the plus side, it was very quiet and the air conditioning worked perfectly.

I came to Essencia Hotel with my son on July 21st. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the bathroom had a slight odor, though it wasn't too bothersome. Other than that, the hotel's breakfast was delicious and clean, and the staff were generally helpful and friendly. However, I can't say the same positive things about the hotel's contracted tour company.

The rooms were clean and very comfortable air-conditioning ice cold too which is a must for myself. The buffet breakfast was fantastic and a great selection varying daily. All staff friendly and professional. I enjoyed my stay here I extended by 5 days as other hotels don't match up for the value and price paid

We were really impress with Hotel Essencia. Old hotel but very functional. Parking at the basement. Excellent service from the check in lady and the security guards were polite. Comfortable beds, cool aircon, with personal ref, complimentary toiletries and hot and cold shower, plus the buffet breakfast. You cannot ask for more with the very affordable rate.
