The staff was very welcoming and the property was very clean. The hotel is located near a Robinson’s Mall, which was great because we were able to take a tricycle to get some dinner.

Balai is stunning and clean, I stayed here as a way to unwind after a 2 week trip and it was absolutely the right decision. Balai gives a chance to unwind alone and everything is preplanned once you ask, for instance, the sauna and spa is booked an hour at a time so no one needs to share. The amenities offered in the rooms are excellent. The facilities are clean and nothing suggested is too much. The food options were good too. Highly recommend for a retreat type feel.

The place is good, cozy and they have good food in the restaurant. Staff is professional, they are helpful. What we don’t like; the shower is so weak, no hot water and we even have to ask the front desk for toilet paper, there’s no shampoo and bath soap either.

Quiet, spa-like atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff. No tv or fridge in room. Nice bathroom. Five minutes from airport, 10-15 minutes from major shopping malls and markets. One and a half hour from underground river tour and swimmable beaches. Hotel should expand website to include helpful information for tourists.

Overall a very pleasant stay! Highly recommended!

My wife and I spent 2 nights here and had a very pleasant experience! The hotel is comfortable, the bed was nice, the A/C was consistent, and the hotel staff were very helpful and courteous. We also took advantage of their spa services and got a couples massage, which was one of the best massages I’ve had in a while. We also had a fun time hanging out in the jacuzzi. The restaurant (Lilim Cafe) had some of the best food we had during our stay in the Philippines, to my pleasant surprise! Would highly recommend. The only (minor) issue we encountered was the slow/unreliable wi-fi in our room (might not be an issue for all rooms, but was for ours). We had to go out into the lobby or the restaurant whenever we wanted consistent and adequately fast internet connections. Despite this, we would book again!
