Wakim Lake Resort OPC — Hotel in Talisay

We booked here on a weekday, and as expected, we almost had the whole place to ourselves. However, our experience took an unfortunate turn as our tent was damaged from burnt plastic, a result of burning garbage at the bonfire station exacerbated by the use of an electric fan.

We found the owner's father fetching some water to put out the fire, to which we raised the incident. He seemed apologetic about it and said that the main problem with the place was the lack of proper waste management (seems to be the case in the city, as burning garbage seems to be the norm here). He also said that he spoke to the caretaker and told them not to burn the garbage if guests are around. At this point, I wish they had declined our booking if maintenance was on the agenda.

Despite this, the place is majestic, with an overlooking view of Taal Lake, fast wifi, and a clean kitchen and bathroom. I'd still recommend this place for non-campers...

When I first arrived here, I was so happy. I was mistaken that I would have a great time on my first vacation in a long time. I couldn't sleep that night because of the loud music, drinking and singing in the neighborhood. I asked the manager for help, but nothing much changed. I had no choice but to give up camping around midnight and come back home with all my luggage. What a terrible day. At least, the manager didn't charge me for the camping. She even said sorry. It was a pity that we went a long way imagining a fun camping for the first time in a long time. I was familiar with many reviews before booking this campsite, but I haven't seen any comments like this, so I'm leaving a Google review for the first time just in case something like this happens again. The road is right next to me, so it's not as quiet at night as I thought. Please note, it's a great day tour. The staff there was kind and we could hear a lot...

I recently stayed at this location for car camping and was looking forward to the tranquility and the beautiful view of the lake and Taal Volcano. Unfortunately, my experience was far from peaceful.

Two Chinese individuals and their Filipina companions were allowed to conduct fishing activities just a couple of meters from where I was camping. They were loud and active until 2am, making it impossible for me to get any sleep. Additionally, a group of 15-20 men were drinking and being rowdy until past 10pm. The noise and commotion from both groups completely ruined the serene atmosphere. Furthermore, the Chinese individuals left a lot of trash in the area, which was very disgusting.

This place has potential, but stricter regulations on noise and activities after dark are needed to ensure a better experience for all visitors. It seems the entrance fees from these groups were prioritized over the comfort of...
