Best hotels & accommodations in Dumaguete

My friend and I chose to stay in the resort to end up our free&easy in Dumaguete . The resort is located in Dauin where is famous for scuba diving . It is inconvenient to give an insight into local life as the resort is far away from the Dumaguete city , . So you may only have food in the resort . We booked an individual villa for one night , AC ran well and that outdo...

One of the best small hotels I have stayed in, immaculate throughout, very nice room with large, comfortably furnished balcony overlooking the sea, quiet efficient AC, flat screen TV, WiFi in every room. Decent sized swimming pool and some comfortable, shady seating areas. The beach was very rocky and difficult to walk on even in beach shoes but we were aware of that b...

I enjoyed my stay at Hotel Essencia. It was said to be the newest and biggest hotel in Dumaguete City. It offered affordable room rates, complete facilities - nice and clean room and bathroom. They also have free wifi within the hotel, although wifi is not that strong inside the room, one has to stay at the side of the room near the door to get strong signal. The staff...

It was a great stay for me in Dumaguete with Fish Unlimited. It was a quaint resort that offers good service. We stayed at the premier deluxe room that has a newly renovated outdoor restroom. What drew me to book the place was actually the beautiful restroom-- hence I did have a high expectation of it. Ended up not using it because of yellow brown water which the resor...

If you are willing to stay outside of Dumaguete proper, I would suggest you might enjoy Florentina as it provides a decent restaurant and pool. The shower was hot and AC was cold. Tv was fine (cable ) but the wifi was a little slow after earl morning. The restaurant is ok, marginal depending on what you order (barbeque ribs were fine ) Breakfast was adequate although t...

My wife and I have done some extensive traveling across the Philippines the past 20 months and Pura Vida is perhaps the finest place we've found. As American's we are accustomed to certain standards that we used to take for granted. Pura Vida resort lives up to that kind of American standard. The staff was really helpful and friendly. The facilities wonderful. Foo...

Very good staff and very friendly. The room is really large with lots of storage space. The food was good and the dive master and boat crew are excellent. You can get the beers really cold in your room fridge. You can arrange to have a rental scooter brought to the hotel for 24 hours for 600K or about $12. They are about 450K in Dumaguete. It is much cheaper and easy ...

We enjoyed our two night stay at Thalatta Resort very much. It is located not far from Dumaguete (less than an hour on the bus) and a short walk from the National Road. This resort has the most beautiful gardens surrounding a large salt-water pool with a lovely waterfall. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable (although the air-con was a little noisy and the door...

The newest hotel in Dumaguete. It was clean and comfortable. The staff were accommodating and attentive. The Spanish restaurant served really good tapas and callos. The only downside is that they do not have an elevator. But it’s perfect for a short stay.

This is probably the best hotel in Dumaguete City. The Space nicely designed, much like boutique hotels you would only expect to see in Manila. The staff were very courteous and friendly. the rooms are really clean, the sheets smell nice. the spa is not to be missed as the prices are really dirt cheap. it is a bit away from the city though but can easily be reached by ...

We were absolutely in love with the hotel. It is outside of Dumaguete, but that's definitely worth it! The resort is so beautiful and relaxing that you don't want to leave it. For everyone going to Apo Island, it has the perfect location, too. It is only 5 minutes away from the market where all the boats to the island depart. The rooms are extremely clean and the bed i...

Was supposed to stay there for 3 nights in the superior suite but modified our booking to 2 nights with an upgrade to the pool villa. The staff were very accommodating and prompt in answering my calls. We had a van transfer from dumaguete city, and upon arrival, it was just simply breathtaking. My colleagues would just say 'wow' nonstop. The way the pool villa is situ...

We booked the Salaya as a last minute escape and the one night we stayed here was the highlight of our trip. Everything from the exceptional service, unbelievable view, beautiful grounds, delicious food and luxury accommodations. Just WOW!! Anyone staying near, around Dumaguete should treat themselves to at least one night in this secret paradise. It will not disappoin...

I am mostly in awe of its aesthetic and the fact that this used to be the iconic CAP building in the city. Millennials would love the hotel given its "Instagrammable" interior. The place is also clean and well-maintained. It's just a bit pricey so not for local budget travellers. They also have to improve on their communication (my service van came late in the airpo...

I booked the suite room for only p1200.00 through Agoda. The room is big, clean and have an ocienview of Dumaguete. The hotel is located near the port, walking distance to Siliman University, sunset boulevard, the famous Sans Rival of Dumaguete and other nearby restaurants and coffee shop. The hotel is also near a department store and supermarket where you can buy some...

Away from other hotels in Dumaguete (still just a 15-20 minutes drive), but that gave us a really quiet and unspoiled place. Beach is not very good. Whereas it is sandy, there are many stones as well, so we had to find a place with less stones. That's just 150 meters away. Astounding views from balcony.

The best thing about it was its location-- ten minutes from the airport (costs 120 pesos); 4 blocks from the bay walk; 2 blocks away from the public market where you can have a nice traditional local breakfast; close to banks and restaurants. I particularly appreciate the hotel's "what to do in Dumaguete in a day" advice. The staff were courteous and helpful. The bathr...

I have stayed several times at this mid-range hotel and have always found it clean, cheerful and convenient The staff are extremely helpful and the food, while limited is of good quality. The have the best calamansi drink I tasted in all Philippines. Tangy. The rooms are basic but so is the price. They are clean and the shower works and is hot. Central Dumaguete with ...

Very convenient location and definitely worth every penny of staying there. I traveled with my mom who is a senior citizen and lucky us that this hotel is just a walking distance to almost all of the touristy place in Dumaguete. It is right across the Silliman University signage, almost 3 minutes walking distance to the boulevard (#DumaGetMe signage), Tempurahan and al...

We were a group of 3 adults and 1 kid, booked 2 rooms for 1 night, ate lunch and breakfast at their cafe. The rooms were old but clean with basic amenities. The free breakfast was budbod with suman, delicious and came with cheap room rates. Their cafe offered delicious all-day breakfast and other meals at affordable prices. Service was very good, deskfront open 24 hour...

Dumaguete is a wonderful city, located on one side at the sea with a wonderful view to the Island of Siquihor and Cebu, on the other side to the hills inside the island. With this hotel you can choose what view you like: the sea with the sunrise or the hills with the sunset. This time is had the sea view: what a colourful sunrise (at 5:30 am, i don't like to get up ea...

a nice quiet place to relax away from town. fiendly staff. outside dumaguete city about 25 minutes but easy enough to get there if you want city life. they offer diving, but i just enjoyed the pools and decent food. brought 15 family members in from mindanao (wife is from philippines - i'm u.s.) and we all had a blast, no complaints. would definately stay there agai...

The hotel is ideally located near the sibulan airport in dumaguete with only 3 to 5 minutes travel time. Its also just a few steps away from the City Mall, a major shopping center in dumaguete. They also offer free pick up from or to the airport, you just have to inform them about your flight details. The room is very cozy especially the sheets. No weird odour unlike ...

Dumaguete is a small town. Best thing they boast about is food. La Residencia has one of the best Spanish restos. All the other best restos are alongside it where you have Casablanca, Sans Rival cakes & pastries, etc. It's a short walking distance to Lee Plaza mall and to the City Center. Staff are very nice...makes you feel so much at home. The only downside here is w...

We stayed in the cottage for 5 days. It was absolutely perfect. Since we brought our own wifi router we had not issues with connectivity. The property uses Cignal cable so it was easily the best we have had during our travels. Some issues with power, but the resort has a generator which alleviated any concerns we had. The beach is nice and the water clean to swim in....
Cheapest hotels in Dumaguete

As a solo traveler and your budget is tight better stay in the dormitory it will cost you less. On my 4 days i used my Agoda payment not in Harolds Ecolodge but rather i stayed in Harolds Mansion. At least the staff swap it so I can used my paid rooms. On the first 2 days i stayed in a room good for 2 @ but i was disappointed of the aircon. So to save my remaining day...

This new dive resort is great for backpackers or those on a budget. The dorm is very comfortable. Although there is no a/c there are 4 fans which is more than enough to keep the room cool. Toilets and showers are kept very clean. The resort is right on the beach and the wifi works well. The staff are really lovely and the on-site dive shop is excellent. The prices ...

I loved staying here, all the staff are really friendly and theres a reqoly nice relaxed atmosphere here. The dive masters if you choose to dive with them are very knowledable and can spot the smallest creature a mile away! Rooms are decent sized and the bathrooms are really nice too. The only con about this place, is that there's no sign outside. Get a sign and it wou...

Friendly staff and very clean place.. Thumbs up for this place. Ive booked this place for a cheap price, thought it would be just fine. The location is far from the airport and city proper but worth to travel. I would like to rate it for more than 5 stars.. Hehehe.. The con is no tv at all.. 😭😭

The hostel is about a 5 mins tricycle ride from Sibulan airport. I arrived a few hours before the check in but I was given a room early since there's an available bed already. The room was cool even with no AC on. Bed was spacious with lockers below for your stuff. Each bed has its individual sockets and night light. However, I wish there was a curtain for more privacy...

Why can't I rate this hotel with 6 stars? This hotel had the best stay I've had out of any hotel: 5-star hotels, 4-stars etc in Philippines because of the following facts: 1. Anyone is allowed to keep their food / drinks in the group kitchen in the main building to cook their own food, have cool beer, or cool wine, or juice available for them 24 hours per day 2....

We were supposed to have free breakfast included and possibility for lunch and dinner. However, the owners said it was a "mistake" and did not provide any food....The bathroom is in their living room, so you have to go through the family sleeping on the floor if you need to use the toilet at night, which made me feel uneasy. Only one shared bathroom/toilet is not enou...

If you run out of budget due to uncontrollable situation and you still want to relax properly while on a business trip, stay in Hostel Tropical when in Dumaguete City. They have home made food, flowing coffee (for a fee) and a strong WiFi to help you continue to work in a wee hours. Staffs are very friendly. Place is not that popular but just say to the driver to ta...

At first I thought the place was far from downtown but I realized it wasn't as I stayed one more day. The room is big and clean. The owner was amazing!! She's a good cook and she really made me feel at home :) She cooked chinese food for her friends who are coming over and I was lucky to get invited. The food was amazing!!! If you're staying longer, you can ask her to...

it was our first time in Dumaguete and we had so much fun. a big part of it was our stay in Mahogany Upland Resort. if you are looking for a resort that is away from the city, away from the noise.. this is the place to be. they are currently constructing a pool so wait for it. definitely going back.

I was in Dumaguete City for three days and two nights. I booked in Blue Horizons Hostel. The place was located near to everywhere. Parking spaces were available. The friendly staff were very accommodating. There's a cafe at the ground floor. There was 24 hours security. The room was neat and clean with a spacious toilet and bathroom plus a hot shower. The street was no...

i love the location of the place. Agoda booked us on an upgraded room. i paid less than their published rate. The front desk clerk was very kind. she gave us discount when we booked for another 3 days extension. Would highly recommend this place to friends who will travel to Dumaguete. value for money. One downside is no internet connection inside the rooms. yo...

Relatively new, clean, in a peaceful area, about 4 km away from Dumaguete downtown. Cold shower only, Wi-Fi available at the entrance, a tiny gym available. Tricycle drivers downtown will pretend not to know where it is, or will ask you 100p to take you there from Dumaguete. To go downtown is easier instead, as the house staff will help you hire a shared tricycle (20p ...

The place was great. Very accessible to must visit restaurants, tourist sites and of course a 5-10 minutes travel to the airport. The staff are very accommodating and helpful. The 2 downside we had were 1. There were a lot of mosquitoes inside our room. So many! 2 We don't like the opening of the comfort room on top, It's not really separated by the rest of the room,...

I am a regular traveler to the Dumaguete area and as such I am always looking for a nice hotel to stay in that is a bargain. Well I found that at White Knights. Is it a five star hotel? No, but you are not paying those types of prices either. What you do get is a clean room that has air con, cable TV, plenty of storage space and a big bed. It is a simple design that h...

The room was very basic but a bed a hot shower were all we needed. The staff were super helpful and also stored valuables in the hotel safe as there’s not one in the room. A big thank you to Jun for his efficiency and going the extra mile to help us. Food at the hotel was excellent but took ages to come. I would stay here again if passing through dumaguete.

Although Aaah Inn is off the beaten path, our one-night stay here was perhaps one of most unique of our whole trip. My group of 5 was hesitant to book with Aaah Inn as there are few reviews and no specific address listed but overall we were pleased we did. Aaah Inn is located away from the city and can be accessed with a tricycle or CERES Bus in under 30 minutes. We ...

Dumaguete is a wonderful city, located on one side at the sea with a wonderful view to the Island of Siquihor and Cebu, on the other side to the hills inside the island. With this hotel you can choose what view you like: the sea with the sunrise or the hills with the sunset. This time is had the sea view: what a colourful sunrise (at 5:30 am, i don't like to get up ea...

Quaint hidden gem. It's a family owned resort with really friendly staff. The resort's name, 'Grand View' fits the description 100%. The cottages oversee a picturesque forest and sea along with a cutely decorated pathway. It's a little tough to get there but it's worth your time ;)

I would recommend Baki Divers to anyone! The place is very clean and quiet and the food at the restaurant is great! Also, if you get an ocean view room you will have a great view of the ocean and can listen to waves. I went scuba diving for the first time in my life at Baki Divers and had the best experience with dive instructor Jeremy, there is an amazing amount of...

For the money this hotel suited our needs. As other have said my girlfriend saw a cockroach in the CR so we complained and they gave us another room that did not have any bugs. The staff was very nice and the food was SUPER cheap but took a VERY LONG TIME to get our breakfast out to us :(. If you are on a budget I would recommend this hotel but if you are not find anot...

I am glad that after 7 years of visiting Dumaguete, I tried Plaza Maria based on Agoda's rate. Plaza Maria allowed me to check-in as soon as arrived at around 8AM. So, I took a nap and woke 9:30AM refresh from my early morning flight to attend a rigorous business day of standing for about 3-4 hrs. straight. I will definitely stays in PM whenever I'm in Dumaguete for ...

Highly recommend this place for group travellers who wish to stay at Dumaguete. Very affordable and the place is big enough to accommodate 8-10pax. Ate Cherry is very helpful. She booked our transportation the next day from the apartment to Dumaguete port via multicab. One of our friends even peft his shorts and ate Cherry made an effort to bring it to us the next day....

Woooow! This place is just amazing the best place we have stayed during our 4 weeks of travelling Philippines. The staff, management and owner made us feel very welcome and accommodated us to the maximum! No words can describe how amazing our stay was! Everything from the food to the facilities to the very kind and warm staff was just to amazing for words! I highly rec...

Very affordable. More or less P1, 000 per head/per room for 4 nights. Very accessible. Near Sibulan Airport, City Mall Dumaguete, bus stop. AND THE BEST THING IS THE OWNER AND THE STAFF ARE VERY MUCH HELPFUL!!! Free airport shuttle (from and to), and granted whatever it is that we requested (e.g. giving us a lift to the port at 4:15 a.m., gave us their ENTIRE FRIDGE S...

Traveler impressions of Dumaguete
Go to Dumaguete and from there you can travel and see other spots such as Siquijor, Bacolod, Cebu, Tagbilaran.
A nice and clean city with friendly people. Don't forget to bring home silvanas for your family and friends which is popular there.
Dumaguete is a nice place , with many nice restaurants and greet sight seeing. The people are really nice and very helpfull.
Sandwiched between a big mountain and the sea, Dumaguete is a unique small city in the Philippines. There is a seafront boulevard that is clean and gives lovely views over the harbor.
It is definitely the land of Gentle People. The boulevard is clean and i hope they keep it that way. Love the small-town vibe this town offers.
There are nice places to visit in Dumaguete especially if you love the beaches. Enjoy diving and island hopping.
Very good choice in eateries, from budget to more upscale. Cleaner air than most cities because there are almost no filthy jeepney's.
It's quite a nice city by the shore. Lots of places to eat and people are nice. It's mainly a place for people who go scuba diving.
Very overcrowded 3rd world city. Traffic was a continual logjam, with too many pedicabs, motor cycles cars trucks et al.
Dumaguete is a small city, it has decent shopping, dining is good lots to choose from. be careful of tricycle drivers they may charge you too much.
People are very friendly. Amenities in the city plus the pace of life make this the best retirement place in all of the Philippines.
A sleepy town,ideal place to relax for a couple of days.There is a little nightlife,but some pleasant restaurants,particularly near the boulevard.
They have a lot of different sight-seeing places to visit around town. I am very impressed with the City of Dumaguete.
A college town, that is easily walkable. Excellent local food, as well as mexican, chinese, cuisine.
I liked the city. its not so poor on account of its retired foreigner population. it also has great restaurants and easy traffic.
Ideal place from which to explore the island. Everything on hand - ferry ports, airport, tours, diving etc.
Really peaceful and quiet and convenient. You can go anywhere in 5 to 10 mins and there is no traffic.
Lovely little city with lots of history and plenty of greenspace and tree-lined streets. Lots of activities to engage in like diving, hiking, beaches, snorkelling etc great value food and accommodation options and nice just to walk around thr city getting a feel for the local culture.
Tour the city - it will only take half a day! Try their famous street food (aka "tempura") near the boulevard, you'll see a lot if people hanging out in this area.
I can honestly say you won't find a safer place to stay on the entire planet. I come from a small town in Minnesota, USA and this city of 120k people is every bit as safe as my little village in the Us.
Public transport is accessible by foot from the airport. Much cheaper. Manjuyod sand bar is great during liw tide.
dumaguete is a small and quiet place. if you just want to relax and still experience a somewhat city life minus the traffic and busy streets, then this is the place for you.
Dumaguete is more like a big country town than a city. It has a very nice water front and a lot of good eating places and bars there.
Attracts tourist due to easy access of transportation. peaceful city with gentle people. Great night life and beautiful beaches.
its nice city friendley peopel, with some night life clubs and many resturants with nice food, have long walk on the side bay walk at night or early morning before getting to hot, they have lots of vendors in some area for lots of diffrents goods , cloth , and gifts and toys with good prices.
Dumaguete has great city life and natural attractions. It is still very cheap and not super touristy yet.
a lot of outdoor activities that can be easily arranged - dive trip to apo, dolphin watching at bais, whale shark watching at oslob, etc
Just a lovely place. Good steady pace. Nice massage places. Good food wherever you wanted to eat and whatever you wanted to eat.
Westernized to the degree of many cities in the Philippines. You can get nearly anything you want there.
quiet and peaceful place. the people are very accomodating and the places you want to see is easy to locate.
Dumaguete's best hotels with breakfast

I was lucky to find this hotel in Dumaguete. It's hard to find a nice hotel but this hotel is definitely the best in Dumaguete. Across the hotel is the Dumaguete Public Market where you can find the famous budbud kabog and sikwate (chocolate drink). Will definitely return to this hotel when I go back to Dumaguete.

Harold's is a great option for travelers who are extremely budget conscious. If you consider yourself a part of the "backpacker" set and are able to handle modest yet comfortable accommodations, then this place might be for you. It definitely has more of a "hostel" vibe than a hotel, and the rooms certainly aren't fancy, but for the price, it's probably the best you'll...

We had a great and very relaxing stay at the resort. The resort's amenities are simple yet classy and very well maintained specifically in our room. Our room's location at the second floor offered us a beautiful view of the infinity pool area and the sea! Food service and quality was very good. The resort, being newly constructed only a few months ago has a promising f...

Booked this for my cousin for his first trip in Dumaguete and he has nothing but nice words for the place. He was even extremely pleased with the service of the staff. The bed was specifically comfortable and the place was clean. Will definitely recommend this place to family and friends in the future.

My friend and I chose to stay in the resort to end up our free&easy in Dumaguete . The resort is located in Dauin where is famous for scuba diving .

We very much liked it at White Chocolate Hills Resort. It is about 40mins by tricycle from Dumaguete city, which isn't exactly a nice city where you would like to stay for days. We were stuck there, as the ferry service was suspended due to stormy weather. We were extremely happy to find a nice resort, with very attentive and friendly service relatively close to Dumagu...

Away from other hotels in Dumaguete (still just a 15-20 minutes drive), but that gave us a really quiet and unspoiled place. Beach is not very good. Whereas it is sandy, there are many stones as well, so we had to find a place with less stones. That's just 150 meters away. Astounding views from balcony.

I stayed at Victoria's Haven recently back in late July/ early August for a holiday over 11 days or so. I had to make some extra bookings to extend my stay as the original booking was for 7 days and so I experienced at least 3 different rooms in that time. I started with the Junior King suite for a night before moving to Palmera Suite for 6 more nights. Then I extended...

we were initially surprised at how far from dumaguete this was but after we arrived and saw the place we really liked it. we were right on beautiful beach with very clean water. we had a very large beautiful room with poster bed and nice view of ocean staff were very friendly and food we had was good. only drawback is you need to take local transport to town and s...

I had a very good stay ate Mike's Resort. It is small but extremely pleasant and well laid out. There were not a lot of people staying there at the time which I think helped to make our stay more relaxed and pleasant. The food is very good value for money and as good as I have had anywhere in the Philippines. Although it is a dive resort there are plenty of land based ...

This is the first time that i’m reviewing here on agoda. I have booked around 20times here on app but it seems this is the first accommodation worthy of review! Honest feedback: Pros: Strategic location! Costs only 10php per ride to downtown dumaguete. Superb quality! The building is literally new. Good customer service via FB page! They were able to accommodate my ...

My partner and I travelled here to relax. It is a quiet spot, right on the beach. Mornings would be spent swimming followed by a scuba dive. The beach is black volcanic sand and smooth rocks. Water is crystal clear. The resort is a good 300 php drive in a trike to the main city. Though you can get a great meal 5 minutes ride up the road at the Finbar. The staff were he...

My wife and I have done some extensive traveling across the Philippines the past 20 months and Pura Vida is perhaps the finest place we've found. As American's we are accustomed to certain standards that we used to take for granted. Pura Vida resort lives up to that kind of American standard. The staff was really helpful and friendly.

A large portion of the population in Dumaguete is comprised of students, as the city is a university city. Silliman University, one of the largest universities in town, is also home to the Silliman University Anthropology Museum and the Silliman University Whale Bone Museum.
