Mt. Bagarabon Beach Hotel — Hotel in Mindanao

recommended for a family getaway.||||1. the hotel is far from the city and the main highway which is good||2. wifi and cp signal is limited, if none at all, again good to me, so that i cant be disturb.||3. the staff are not ok but their manager is very friendly and accommodating||4. the hotel offers both accommodation and the beach!||5. our room is the family type which is very good for 8 of us.||6. fronting our room is the famous mabua pebble beach||7. you can swim from sun up to sun down (no lifeguard on duty so be very careful)||8. the food is good you can either order from their kitchen or you can bring yours and you can even grill your food there. ||9. "video-singko" is on stand by for those who want to sing||10. had a good night sleep. ||||the other side||1. preferably bring your vehicle when visiting the hotel since it is far from the city and national highway - but their are paid tricycle that can transport you from and to the city||2. the distance between the resto, the rooms and the beach cottages is quiet far, so be ready to wait for a much longer time for your orders to be delivered. patienc is a virtue. ||3. parking during the weekends is a nightmare.||4. no lifeguard on duty to take extra care and precaution specially when kids are at the...

The place has a great view of the ocean. The beach is a pebble beach. Big and small pebbles. Now with regards to the resort I was very disappointed with their service. They made me and my colleagues wait for 2 hours just to prepare our room. Because the washroom was broken. Outside was so humid and hot. It was very uncomfortable.

Also we were so unlucky they gave us the room on the 3rd floor. Accessible only via steep stairs winding around the facade and when it rains you will definitely get rained down bacause it is out in the open with out covers. If you enjoy the hike together with your luggage then go for it.

Food is nice by the way. In terms of house keeping if you need something you have to go down amd then up again the flight of stairs. Something like toilet paper. Which was absent upon check in. I guess this place is still a work in progress since much is still going on in construction. I hope...

Mt Bagarabon is a nice place with a gorgeous view of the pebbled beach. Our corner room had a wall of windows which we enjoyed. Staff was nice and the food was good. Unfortunately, we ended up staying only one night because there was nothing to do after our initial exploration which included the little hike on the hill next to the hotel. We had been looking forward to walk for hours along the beach but it was impossible on the pebbles. After 15 minutes of trying to keep our balance we gave up. The ocean was very agitated so we couldn't snorkel or kayak. We tried to swim a little but got constantly pushed back on the pebbles. Not very pleasant. But if you are looking for something very close to Surigao City, without staying in the city itself, and do not mind a pebbled beach, you should consider it. More pleasant to hear the ocean than the traffic. Only 10 minutes by tricycle (motor taxi)...
