Villa Prescilla

The staff are very welcoming and they give us all the help wr need during our stay. The pool is really clean and the room is very clean too. The location of this villa is very accessible to everything. I can say that you really get value for the money if you stay in this place. They have a barbeque area too for those who want to have a mini celebration or who wants to eat by the pool area. Even it is very near the road it is very peaceful in the night time.

Highly recommend the place, great staff, clean rooms and peaceful surroundings!

Провел в этом отеле три ночи, есть отзыв выше. Решил задержаться ещё на пару ночей. Рекомендую

Staff was very helpful and friendly However there was American visitors and kept waking us up chatting loudly at 5:30 am had no consideration for other guests The shower head and taps need replaced

We (1 x Australian male & 1 x Filipina) stayed for one week in a Family Apartment. We chose Villa Prescilla as we wanted to be able to self-cater and cook our own meals. The hotel is a short drive from both the airport (via taxi) and the centre of Dumaguete (trike). Getting transport via a trike is easy, plus the trikes here are much bigger than in Manila or Angeles and the prices were reasonable: but it does help if you have a Filipina with you to ensure you are not being taken advantage of 😊 (but I still gave tips to drivers). Location is away from the noise of Dumaguete, but the road is still very busy and noise from traffic can be a bit of a problem, but main bedroom is at the rear of the building and we kept the doors shut. The hotel is a bit old and showing its age, but it is still clean, pleasant and had everything we needed, plus the caretaker/s were very helpful and friendly. My only gripe would be in relation to the Wi-Fi signal which at times was non-existent (welcome to the Philippines...lol). In the times we live, Wi-Fi has become a necessity and I was relying on being able to use my laptop, so it was of great importance to me to be able to access the internet when I wanted / needed. Fortunately, each time I really needed to access the internet the caretakers would come to the apartment and were able to get a signal for me. My Filipina was very happy with the kitchen facilities and was able to whip up some great meals.

To avoid being awakened too early by neighbouring roosters or barking dogs, I recommend having the fan on for white noise.

Fortunately, each time I really needed to access the internet the caretakers would come to the apartment and were able to get a signal for me through trial and error, plus a lot of persistence and sometimes calling upon the available IT guru (caretakers’ teenage son). My Filipina was very happy with the kitchen facilities and was able to whip up some great meals. Caretakers were also able to arrange a private car with driver for us (day trip to Bindoy) and a taxi for the journey to the airport for our departure.

Staff was accommodating and pleasant. There is a place to cook food if you want and also a washing machine. The pool is nice and I would recommend to anyone. Road noise does pick up around 5pm to 6pm but it didn’t bother me. Great spot for sure!

The place is strategically perfect, not too far from downtown, and since the area is residential, it's quiet and perfect for families with kids, there's a pool and a fully functional kitchen so you can cook food if you're tired of eating out in restos. hospital, water refilling stations, laundry, etc are within walking distance. Since it's one of the main roads, you can get a ride easily.
