Hotels near Binangonan Light House at Santorini Estates, Rizal

We were trying our luck to find a relaxing place away from the city. We didn't want to do the usual routes via the north or south expressway, so we had decided to explore the eastern part of Metro Manila. We found this place via the tripadvisor so, without any advance reservation, we tried contacting them via their FB messenger. We got an immediate reply and luckily, there was an available room for us. True to its company website, the place offered a breathtaking view of the Laguna de Bay and Sierra Madre mountains. It was so nice to just chill-out and appreciate the beauty of nature. But what stood out for us (aside from the amenities) was their service. It felt like we were staying at a family friend's resort and we were treated as VIPs. The food was superb - one order of pancit canton (a delicious family recipe) was good for 3 and their the pizza was also huge! We spent the late afternoon singing our hearts out (aka karaoke) until our vocal chords got tired. We enjoyed the rest of the night over cold bottles of beer in their lovely garden while listening to soft piano music. It was a weekend well-spent. And to think that the place was just 1 1/2 hours away from our place in Quezon City (without traffic). Shout out to these wonderful people who had made our stay very memorable : James (resort manager), Parson and to the rest of the crew. I highly recommend this place for a stress-free weekend getaway!

Beautiful hotel in Rizal. Clean and friendly staff. Breakfast gets delivered to your door. The hot water is extremely hot. The resort has a beautiful view.

We booked a Standard Room via trip.com and it was mentioned in our booking that the bed type in the room we selected is assigned randomly. When we checked in, I was informed my front desk that all Standard Rooms actually have Queen size beds so no need to request for it because we’re really getting a big bed. The check in process was smooth with ₱1,000 cash deposit. Yes, cash. They still do not have other payment options for the deposit. No credit card payments yet for the deposit. The hotel has just been opened in March of this year. Hotel is fresh, lobby looks so pretty, smells good, everyone is warm. Our room is so beautiful with new bed, fresh linens and fluffy pillows. It has a personal ref and TCL Android TV. Good water pressure, 2 trash cans. Hot shower is perfectly working. Only 2 bath towels and 1 foot rug. Toiletries provided also in the room. Lots of lighting in the room. Aircon is just a window type and placed near the floor. We love so much our room. Beautiful, fresh, new, for us it is spacious for the amount we paid. Basic but beautiful. We’ll definitely stay again when we will have another event to attend to within the hotel’s location. Parking in front of the hotel. There’s 711 and Figaro and coffeeteria on the ground floor of hotel. We love Monaco Hotel so much!

I stayed at this hotel for 2x 4 days before and after going on a tour in the Visayas in June 2024, as well as 7 days in September 2023. My girlfriend lives nearby so this hotel was a good option. Booking was a bit complicated, I visited their facebook page and wrote a mail to the available email address but didn't get any response. After 2-3 days I decided to chat them directly on fb and was able to book my stay. However, I was asked to pay in cash when I was there, I don't think paying by card is possible. After arriving at the hotel, everything got uncomplicated. The staff there is very nice and room service can be requested every day. The rooms are labelled with tourist spots which is fun. The rooms are clean and include AC, Wifi, a TV and a fridge. Some of the windows can't be shut completely so it's possible to discover small insects such as (small) cockroaches or mosquitos. The hotel is located directly in front of a road that leads to a larger road 5 min away. This means easy access to tricycles/jeeps, some stores and food stalls/restaurants on one side, on the other side also that it can get noisy in the morning. The hotel has a restaurant with a rather large selection of food of which everything I ordered was very delicious. Overall good experience, if you're looking for a low price hotel for staying in Caita for a few days I can recommend it. Manila can be reached by Grab in 45 min if the traffic isn't bad.

We chanced upon Altaroca Resorts when we searched for top resorts/accomodations in Antipolo. With less expectations during online booking, we were greeted by a friendly security guard who ushered us to the parking area and to the reception/front desk and by the housekeeping staff who assisted us with our bags up to our rooms. The staffs are all approachable and friendly. The rooms (we booked the twin sharing and triple sharing rooms) are modern and clean with comfortable bed and pillows. It is good that the shower comes with a heater. We enjoyed the 3 pools (kiddie, lounge and lap pools). The food is also very good. Downside though, since it is a mountain resort, the rooms,restaurant, pools are only accessible via stairs. Overall, the resort is a very nice place to chill, relax and unwind. We enjoyed our long weekend stay in Altaroca. Highly recommendable! And we will come back, definitely!

FACILITY IS CLEAN AND COMFORTABLE FOR LONG STAY.

Our family has often taken to staycations in Hotels within Manila to beat the usual traffic in and out of the Metro. Since the Holy Week would definitely be the height of traffic, we opted to choose up please that wouldn't take us more than an hour from Quezon City. We miss Baguio and seeing mountains and fresh cool breeze so Timberland was the 1st venue that came to mind. This place has often been a favorite of the university where I work for seminars conventions and recreational activities. Last January my husband and I tried it out for an overnight stay and we kept on telling ourselves it would be great to bring our kids back here. Since my kids are both adults I opted to get a separate room for them. Our kids asked if their friends could come along for the day pass which we agreed to. The Day pass allows them to use of amenities such as the swimming pool the covered courts and the rock climbing area which they thoroughly enjoyed. The fee also included an amount allotted for consumable food and drink at the cafe Ridge. I had made a reservation through their Viber account and I was assisted by Erica who assured me that my reservation stands. Upon arriving, at the lobby I was greeted by Aliyah and Kar greeted us cheerfully. Since we arrived before lunch our room was not yet available so it was recommended that we have snacks at Baker J or the cafe Ridge. We were also informed that we could use the pool and other amenities while we waited for our room could be available. My kids headed straight to the Rock Climbing facility and afterwards, the pool area which had a good view of the cityscape. At the cafe Ridge, we were attended to by JC who helped us rearrange the tables at the balcony since it had been raining and he wanted to make sure we would not get wet. Everything we ordered was delicious especially their burger where you can choose how you want it cooked so we chose medium well and although it took some time for it to be served it was worth the wait because it was juicy and flavorful. Later on I was informed via Viber that our rooms were available. Upon retrieving our key cards at the front desk I was greeted by Gina who recognized me from our previous day. Having a familiar face really makes this place feel like home which my family and I always look forward to in returning. We were granted adjacent rooms. I was so thankful that both rooms had really cold and strong air conditioning because the heat in Manila was just unbelievable. A few moments later Kar called to check up on us to make sure everything was in order. Later on, I would make inquiries through their handset phones and I was able to speak to Gina making inquiries about their activities for the weekend she gave a detailed description of what we could expect. After dinner, we went to the balcony where it was surprising to see an outdoor movie set up for the night. There was even a popcorn machine and a stand that sold churros first snacks. It was good to just chi
