Ulasan The Henry Resort Taramindu Laiya

The rooms are clean. They charge you 1800 pesos per person for every extra person. Even if the room can accommodate 4 persons, only 2 persons are included on the rate. We paid additional 3,600 pesos. Service is excellent, food is amazing.

Had a great time with my family. My girls enjoyed the beach so much. Will definitely come back. The free breakfast at Apartment 1B is yummy. Food's a bit pricey though.

Inviting, friendly staff, clean rooms, on the beach, nice restaurant

Maganda tung place nakakarelax

Location and space landscaping done well. Facilities need to be upgraded and refurbished.

The hotel's staff are polite, and the place is nice. Though the place is not that big still it is good. The con is that the food is a bit pricey :)

Staffs are friendly, helpful and approachable. Food is great but too pricey. Hope they could give or have option to add kiddie meal for breakfast. Room is too small especially if you are staying with a kid.

Went for a quick trip with the kids. The Reservation team was responsive, quickly responded to my queries and requests. Checking in was a breeze, with a refreshing tamarind tea as welcome drinks. We arrived super early, and while the rooms were not yet ready, we were able to stay at the lounge, kids played by the pool and had a nice snack as well. The hotel has a warm and cozy vibe. We had connecting rooms, as we requested. It's clean, the beds are comfortable, AC working well. Bathrooms has hot/cold shower, pressure is good. Toiletries are provided, as well as bathroom and beach towels. Their slippers are cute too, though the sizes are quite big for me, it's fine since my husband can have it. The 2F rooms' setup provides privacy from other guests, no walking guests at your front door. Plated Breakfast is great too. Served at Apmt1b, the in-house restaurant of the hotel, where you'll have a nice view of the beach while you have your breakfast. And since the hotel is right beside other resorts, we had a chance to have dinner at Acuaverde for a change of atmosphere. They don't have tv inside the room, but they have board games and books you can borrow. Just ask the front desk. Beach is clean, as well. We enjoyed the strong wave, although nakakapagod. All in all, we had a great stay. And I'm sure we'll be back again.

A quiet place in Laiya. The beach in front of the establishment is clean and a good place for a swim. The whole place is well maintained but that cannot keep up on the normal wear and tear of the place. Because at current price point it has to be justified. Plated breakfast from Apartment 1B is just average as well.

A Disastrous Stay at Henry Resort: A Cautionary Tale I recently had the misfortune of booking Henry Resort for an exclusive stay, expecting a luxurious and private experience for the hefty price of ₱120,000. Unfortunately, what we encountered was far from the promised exclusivity and comfort. Security Concerns and Mismanagement Upon arrival, we discovered that one of the rooms had no key. The staff informed us that the previous guest had taken it, but assured us it was not an issue due to our exclusive booking. However, this was a blatant disregard for our security. Only after expressing our frustration did they reluctantly provide us with a master key. This incident alone highlighted the resort's poor management and lack of preparedness. Invasion of Privacy Despite our exclusive booking, other guests entered the resort, claiming they had arrived early. This intrusion completely shattered our privacy and ruined the exclusive experience we had paid for. It was incredibly disappointing and frustrating to see the resort fail to uphold its promises. Breakfast Blunders Before checking in, we were asked to select our breakfast from a provided menu. However, on the day of breakfast, we were informed that the menu was outdated and many items were unavailable. This lack of organization and communication was unacceptable and added to our growing list of grievances. Unaccommodating Staff and Poor Hygiene The staff at Henry Resort were unaccommodating and unhelpful throughout our stay. Their lack of professionalism and courtesy was evident in every interaction. Additionally, the rooms were dirty and poorly maintained, further diminishing our experience. The resort was clearly understaffed, and the lack of security was alarming. Conclusion Our stay at Henry Resort was a disaster from start to finish. The combination of poor management, unaccommodating staff, lack of security, and invasion of privacy made it a truly regrettable experience. I strongly advise against booking this resort if you value your privacy, security, and overall experience. Save your money and find a place that truly values its guests and delivers on its promises.

Went here to dine and try their food entrees at their Apt 1B restaurant. We ordered beef belly with mushrooms and pork rinds. Sizzling Pork Sisig and Seafood pasta. They’re all delicious. Serving staff are respectful, friendly and helpful. Beautiful and serene place.

Definitely felt robbed with the P11k/night price tag. Don’t be deceived, it’s an old hotel that is now managed by Henry Hotel. Service was not good, people lacked warmth. The front desk staff hurriedly checked us in and just let me read thru their guidelines instead of explaining it like what she did with the other guests before us (lobby was small so we could hear their conversation). There was no guest checking in after us. We were given the farthest room on the second floor. We accepted this since they said they are fully booked and even if we requested for a ground floor room since we have a toddler and it would be hard to go up and down the (narrow) stairs. We even saw unoccupied rooms on the ground floor when we checked in. The room was very small, there was no room to walk freely to go to the toilet if your luggage (even the handcarry size) is open. The AC in the room is not enough to keep the room cold at night (maybe not enough HP or the placement is wrong?). There was no ref to keep our water cold, though you can ask for water at their restaurant. The floor in our room was sticky and didn’t feel clean at all. There was no TV, which is ok with us since we spent our time outside/at the beach. Toilet and bath fixtures were old and shower area wasn’t enclosed so theres a tendency that toilet area will get wet when you shower. The resort has a small pool with limited sun loungers so you need to take turns with the other guests to use the pool. The breakfast is plated. Food was just ok. We expected higher quality because it’s apt 1b. It’s very different from their makati branch. We like the cabanas at the beach, but this too needs refurbishing already. We checked the other resorts adjacent to this hotel and they have even cheaper rates with better offerings (amenities, food, bigger rooms, etc.) Overall, the hotel is overpriced based on what they are offering. We will not recommend the hotel to my friends and family.

I had some doubts about staying here because of the previous reviews I have read; had it been up to me I would've booked at another resort but my sister's family had booked there for her 60th bday celebration. And she did not know we were coming... we planned a surprise and the The Henry staff helped us do it! (thank you Danielle!) The rest of our stay was made so pleasant because of the efficiency of the staff. Customer service of EVERYONE there was simply EXCELLENT! (Manuel and Mart and ALL Apt1B's crew) And the food was great, kudos to its inhouse resto Apt 1B! Though we stayed for just 3 days, our days were full and satisfying! Some suggestions: More lounge chairs and cabanas by the beach; need to improve bathrooms and clean up the gross rusty areas below the sinks; clean bidet heads please; completely cover the shower area so that water does not overflow or spill into the toilet area (it gets really messy); provide anti-bug lights in the resto area to prevent various insects from diving into our food. I'm still giving The Henry a full 5 stars!

Important things first, would we recommend – simple answer “NO” Main issues: 1. We booked a room for 3 nights for my wide’s 40th birthday with a Queen bed. Sorry a 4ft6 bed is not a Queen bed. I know historically that this was sometimes considered Queen in olden days in PH, it is certainly no longer the case, and thus we consider this as false advertising. 2. Noise very old window mount style AC that did not keep the room at a comfortable temperature level and caused us both to have very poor sleep. This was raised after the second night with reception however there was no improvement. a. This type of AC is always noisy, and I noted this is not an inverter type, a new split inverter AC would pay for itself in 6 months! b. The location of the AC is wrong, tucked away in a corner. One of the most frequent design misunderstandings is air flow is more important than temperature. The best location for the AC is opposite the bed in any bedroom Unfortunately, I have only just now looked at various reviews online, and the above seems to be a recurring issue since the hotel was rebranded under the “Henry” name, and these 2 issues are not acceptable and consistence with the level and price point the hotel is trying to portray. They seem to have gone for looks with a freshly painted “Henry brand” colour scheme and interior design, but not looked at basic hotelier fundamentals. The fact this was also my wife’s 40th birthday made the issues doubly disappointing. Other items, starting with the good Pros: • Well-kept gardens • Friendly and professional reception & restaurant staff • Modern electronic safe • Quiet location • Food was good standard and okay price Cons: • I sent the hotel an email 4 days before arrival asking if it was possible to arrange a bouquet of flowers – no response • No in room fridge • Housekeeping never visited the room during our whole stay, late afternoon each day we visited reception to get what we needed • Swimming pool is small and with only 3 sunbeds • Beautiful looking beach, but is not soft but sharp sand which is impossible to walk across in bare feet • They messed up the bill and undercharged us on checkout and contacted us when we were already well away from the hotel, had to settle the balance by private GCash • No TV (I understand before the rebranding to “Henry” there were flat screen TVs). Whilst this didn’t really concern us. I would expect guests with children during the likely long period of rain this time of year would find it an issue • The restaurant ran out of SMB (despite shop over the road selling by the crate) and red wine Considering everything, obviously we would not consider staying at the hotel again, and considering the root causes, we would be unlikely to consider the “Henry” brand for any future needs.
