    “12 day stay ”

    It's a very nice place for the money. Nice setting, attractive grounds. When it rained hard, the water pressure was very low...to the extent that the shower water heater wouldn't function. Apparently the city cuts the pressure at that time...for whatever reason. The one thing that I would have appreciated is a smoother experience upon checking in. As the workers had no idea of our stay, and needed to make a call to confirm our reservation. So be sure to take a screenshot of your reservation! Because wifi and signal are very weak or nonexistent. As well as the signal for TV didn't work 99% of the time. Otherwise, we'll stay there in the future. There's a good restaurant a block's distance away and others just down the road a kilometer.

    “Great Stay – Excellent Value for Money!”

    My friends and I had a wonderful overnight stay at Alexandra By The Sea. The staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly, especially J1 (I wish I remembered his full name), who kindly welcomed us during our late-night check-in, and Alexandra, one of the owners, who greeted us with such warmth. They went above and beyond to assist with our requests, making us feel well taken care of. The hotel itself was cozy, our room was clean, and we really enjoyed the complimentary breakfast and coffee – a great way to start the day! Although the WiFi and water pressure had minor issues, these didn’t take away from our overall positive experience. For the price, it’s excellent value for money. We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Dapitan City! ⭐️

    “Pretty good stay”

    I was placed in room 2. The room was pretty clean, however, one of the electric sockets was not working, so I had to remove the cord for the television so that I can use it for charging my devices. The location is nice, near Fantasyland and the bayside walk, and a short tricycle ride to Rizal park.

    “Not bad for an overnight stay”

    I booked 6 rooms as we were 20 with children. Breakfast for 2 was already included in the price. Our children enjoyed the entire lawn area themselves - running around & it’s safe. Location is perfect it’s just across the beach (though not clean as there’s a boulevard), restos are walkable, and most importantly it’s near the fantasyland, which was our purpose (though we went there by car since we have seniors). The rooms are a bit old but very clean. AC is functioning well. What I didn’t like was our water heater was disabled since it’s grounded and the following day, there was no water in our room.
