White Beach Resort — Hotel in Puerto Galera

Good:||||The beach was amazing and some inns are nice and accomodating. I got no problems with the boatmen especially the ones in kayaking activities. The sand was also satisfying. White beach is an almost perfect place to beach bum and have a little walk by the shore in the morning. During my island hopping experience, there was a lot of places to beach bum also and snorkel. ||||||Bad:||||Whenever I tried to relax at the beach or simply eat food, rude vendors (including massage therapists) treat you as a walking ATM instead of a human being trying to enjoy the visit. They will keep bugging you even if you said you've already bought the same items or service from them. || ||||Another problem I encountered in white beach was the way the tricycle drivers demand you to spend overpriced transportation fees. The guide fee wasn't even included in the tour. It's like they treat every tourists (Filipinos especially from Manila and foreigners alike) like a walking ATM. I even witnessed my massage therapist talking to someone on the phone referring me to "It". She was speaking with a different dialect but I could understand some of her words. I wish someday they change the way they treat their tourists especially those who were only there to unwind from their day-to-day problems. ||||Most of the food are overpriced. I MEAN how can they sell salted egg for php 40? In Manila, its just around php 20 below. Even a simple sachet of 3-in-1 coffee cost like 20 pesos each. ||||Friendly advice:||Just ignore those rude locals and try to make the most out of your vacation. If they insist, just ignore them and look away. ||||To save some money with food, i suggest you just bring your own especially eggs because it can be really expensive here. If you don't want to, I suggest also to just buy a bulk order of grilled liempo and chicken or bangus (boneless) near the restaurant called Foodtrip and take it out or just eat there (if you like unlimited rice). If you like to try tapsilog or any food that is 'silog ', there is a small carinderia just in front of the tricycle terminal inside the resort. Tapsilog is only 80 pesos with garlic rice there. ||||Bring your own 3-in-1 coffee sachets and milo milk sachets. If you have thermos for hot water, the better. You might also want to bring your own shampoo and soap. Make sure to have a van transfer going to the resort and going back to Mueller port or where your ferry is. ||||Avoid the tricycles as much as possible when necessary. If you can't, make sure you have a stack cash with...

Whitebeach is great little resort especially now they have laid a new concrete promenade which vastly improves it's look and makes getting from one end to the other a lot easier if not safer unlike it's near neighbour Sabang which is a complete mess and darn right dangerous. It's only failings are a lack of toilets for those not using the bars and restaurants, even many of them don't have toilet facilities available and there is also a complete lack of litter bins. Lovely beach, crystal clear sea but children or non-swimmers should be careful when paddling as the shoreline rapidly drops once entering. Update: Since going to White Beach my wife has told me when we walked thought the White Beach Resort Hotel and Resturant which has one of the links between the beach and the service road behind, I didn't hear but a member of staff shouted 'F* you' at us. On our return to White Beach I had suggested we have dinner there, it was only then my wife told me the above. Nice people, they won't ever be getting my custom and I'd suggest others give them a miss also. If the walk through is not a public right of way they should make it more clear but even then what kind of low life speaks like that to complete strangers. This has reduced my star rating for White Beach...

Worst Hotel in Puerto Galera. That will be the last time that we're going to check-in, in that hotel. Staff are not courteous, the right person to talk with when you are been booked via internet is not in the Front Desk to assist you, very unprofessional and not coordinated with each other.

Hotel rooms are very old... Door knobs and locks are not working. There are some small worm-like creatures in the running water ,that's why we put some filter/towel in the faucet to prevent those small worms...

Me and my family are very disappointed in this hotel. Thank God that we enjoy the beautiful beach in Puerto Galera, but the next time that I am going back in that plance, frankly I will choose another hotels. There are so many hotels to choose from.

Thank you and we hope that you respect our reviews, these are my views and experience that I want to...
