The property grounds are really nice. Lovely garden in the centre of the property. The restaurant is outside looking into the garden. Nice made to order breakfast. They have a swimming pool aswell, (possibly communal). Unfortunately, not much to do in the area. Other restaurants are about a mile away, and the centre is more than 2 miles away. The staff were all very friendly and polite throughout my stay.

I love the staff, Irene and Loi is very friendly, accommodating and helpful. They both go over and beyond my expectations. The Garden is beautiful and large. Picnic table is available for guest. I was able to bring food and have my family eat our dinner together in a picnic table. They let us cook our rice and cold water is available for us to use. There’s kettle to use although it’s shared, it’s useful to make coffee. Bath soap is provided but no shampoo and conditioner. There’s glasses and coffee mugs provided and safe box in the room.There’s table and chair in every room to sit with your friends. Friends or family are welcome to visit and they are so welcoming. I felt really home here. Downside, I got insects bites. It’s normal though when you’re in nature. Thank you Balay Tuko. I will be back.

The staff was beyond friendly. The food was wonderful. They asked what I wanted for breakfast the night before so it could be ready before my tour. They gave me a free ride to the mall because it was raining. The garden looks exactly like the pictures. Thank you Balay Tuko. I would live there if I could.

In 3 of our hotel stays in PP, El Nido, & Coron Balay Tuko in PP topped the best hotel in terms of comp breakfast with more choices, modern bathroom, comfortable bed, & better service. We'd be staying there again if back in PP.

Fin plass for en rolig natt

Et fint sted som er stille og helt greit om du skal bare ha et sted og sove. Plassen ligger litt anonymt til, der er ingenting rundtom, men det er tilgjengelig transport i form av trikes rett utenfor døren og hotellet kan skaffe deg transport i resepsjonen (ppc) Hotellet er ganske nytt, rommene har bra standard, men noen småting burde taes tak i (løse vasker, dårlig fuging på bad, aircondition som levde sitt eget liv av og til) Det er bare sporadisk bemanning i resepsjonen, dette er opplyst om, er ikke noe problem da du bare huker tak i noen som jobber der så kommer dem og ordner ut for deg. Vi brukte ikke wifien da den ikke dekket alle rommene skikkelig så bortsett fra den ikke dekker alle rom kan jeg ikke si noe om kvaliteten på tilkoblingen. Det er eget stort svømmebasseng på området med takdekning og godt med sitteplasser, dem serverer mat her og det ligger en liten bodega rett over gaten om man skulle trenge noe mer. Bra med adkomst, her er ikke noen trafikkproblemer i dette området, 3-4 private parkeringsplasser som ingen andre tar og en får kjøre inn på området for av/pålessing. Plassen er fullstendig innegjerdet og rommene har gode safer, trygg, stille og grei plass totalt.
