Villa Elsie Resort — Hotel in General Trias

The hotel/resort is a little out of the way. So if you are using transportation other than driving, it can be a little difficult to reach. If you are driving, it's 2 minutes to the main road. The service is top notch. Rhe kindest people work here. They try there best to accommodate the guests to the maximum. The place is dated, but clean. Which says a lot for hotels in the Philippines. Most places that are showing their age are not also clean. The pool could use a better filtration system, but the water is clean. It isn't a 4 or 5 star resort, but you're paying 1 star prices and getting 2.5 to 3 stars quality, with 4 star service. The place can be better, but for what you pay, it could be a lot worse. I will come back, I really enjoyed my stay. The hotel has a small Sari-Sari store, though you'll pay higher prices because of the convenience. There is a park, People's Park, across from the hotel, (alos makes it easy to fund, just follow the signs to the People's Park) though it isn't always open sadly. There is also a volleyball/basketball court across the road from the hotel. As for the people who work there, Benji is always all smiles, and always seems happy to help and be of service. Angelica is polite, and always professional, always trying to make sure everyone is taken care of. There are others, but those are the only two I've interacted with. I would, and will return. Great place, kind of a hidden gem. Could use a little polish, but, not needing so much to detract from the experience. If it matters, there is no hot water in the showers, the bathrooms in the rooms are small, but everything...

This was a clean, quiet hotel. The only thing that I didn't like was the location.

I had booked a single night at this hotel, and the rate was very reasonable.

Not knowing the area, the taxi followed the GPS to this hotel, which was way far away from everything and all dark side/back roads without lights.

It was kinda SPOOKY 👻

The following morning it was difficult getting transportation, grab, taxi, service car, motorbike with a sidecar, trykes... we had to wait upto two hours to get transportation from the hotel.

But the...

Well the place was good but could have improved better if they know proper pool acid and chlorine ratio. This is to fix the pool color. Then the rooms could be better if there are chairs. The location was hard to reach and is a little expensive to commute. However the service is very hospitable. The staff are very accommodating. Needs a little more in location as there are no stores nearby. Maybe a restaurant and breakfast meals nearby. Or a mini grocery or convenience store...
