Manarra Seaview Resort — Hotel in Puerto Galera

I spent 5 nights here, while diving with Action Divers. The property (like a lot of others in this area) is situated on a steep hill side, hence some rooms have great views of the bay. However this also means there are lots of stairs to climb to get to the hotel and most rooms (while there is an elevator it only serves the lower 2 floors). I stayed in an executive sea view room, which was on the top 2 floors of the hotel, so the views were awesome. Big room, big covered balcony. Room itself was clean, decor modern'ish, furnishings are adequate (within expectations of a 3-star hotel). The bathroom is good sized, but could use more lighting. There was a kitchen, but I did not use it. The minibar is well stocked with beer/water/snacks, and reasonably priced (same price as buying them in town); so this was great because you did not have to lug all this stuff up stairs. ||There are 2 pools, both similar sized, and were nice to cool off during the day. The lounging areas have comfortable chairs. Staff overall were friendly and helpful.||||I had breakfast every morning at their restaurant. The food was mediocre, nothing special. Prices are in-line with restaurants...

My stay was enjoyable. I booked the junior suite, which is best described as a nice room with a sofa. The staff are polite and attentive. The room was clean and well-equipped with a minibar, a room safe, and some toiletries. The air conditioner is a split mini type, so it's very effective and quiet. Speaking of quiet, there is a lot less ambient noise at this location.||The restaurant has a large selection to choose from. Manarra also has laundry wash-dry-fold service at a reasonable cost. ||Manarra Seaview is easy to recommend for anyone who can climb some stairs. Be advised that it may be difficult to find on foot.
