Mendel & Yael

We had the most incredible stay at Villa La Massa with our 1-year-old daughter, Annabel. From the very start, the hotel exceeded our expectations. We had to change our booking dates, and the team was beyond accommodating, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a generous upgrade to a more spacious and luxurious room that offered a stunning view of the river—an absolute dream! We enjoyed a beautiful Sunday lunch accompanied by live piano music, which created such a warm and elegant atmosphere. Every staff member, especially Tamara, treated us with kindness and open arms, making us feel completely at home throughout our stay. The service was impeccable, whether it was room service, dining, or the remarkable cleanliness of the hotel. Our little girl Annabel was showered with attention and love by the staff, who were so playful and caring with her. She adored the hotel from the moment we arrived to the time we sadly had to leave. It’s clear that Villa La Massa has an immaculate team—from the housekeeping staff to the kitchen, pool staff, and managers, everyone contributed to a flawless experience. Special mention goes to Tamara, who was an absolute star—not only to us but to all the guests. Her warmth and professionalism made our stay even more special. We would highly recommend Villa La Massa to anyone, and we can't wait to return with friends and family!

Amazing off grid experience!

What a beautiful natural experience, I’d highly recommend for anyone like us travelling in from London! The beach, villa and family here are amazing and it’s pure paradise! We were picked up by Doodle at the airport and brought to a jetty, where we came into the beach by traditional boat..such an experience and saw a sea turtle on route! We arrived to the lovely Richelle and her family who are the caretakers, and they can go out and catch fresh fish and will bbq the fish for you. We had a romantic meal on the beach under a tree with fairly lights and candles all up the beach with music playing. We have the whole beach to ourselves, apart from dogs & chickens but they are no trouble at all and actually add to the true real Philippines experience. Richelle and family cannot do enough here for you but also are so lovely to message what time you would like breakfast etc, so as not to invade your privacy or relaxation. We had fresh coconut plucked from the tree on arrival and the food cooked for us has been amazing and all the children help to cater. The family take great care to clean the beach and gardens which we found great too.
Don’t worry if the electricity goes off at 3-6am as this is normal, other then that you have full internet if you need it…although this is the perfect place to go ‘off grid’ and not get disturbed! Lovely place I highly recommend!

Tiggywinkle is perfect

Highly recommend staying here with or without pets. Well equipped beautiful lodge right near the water and main building. Everything you need is on the lodge such as iron, ironing board, hoover, hairdryer, etc etc plus there is an on-site laundrette. Owner provided handwash, fly spray, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets etc etc plus a lovely welcome bottle of rose with a little welcome note which was a lovely touch. Definitely worth seeing what is in the lodge before buying any toiletries when doing your initial shop. Our boys spent most mornings in the indoor pool. Everything you need in the lodge, on-site or a short work away. Easy access to different areas on foot, by car or by bus. Asda shop delivery facility was a lovely surprise which saved us a lot of time. Owners of our lodge were really helpful and friendly as was their Housekeeper who we met when we arrived on-site early and had a walk around the site. She was the one who told us about Asda delivering 😊. We didn’t go to the evening entertainment but there was bingo, singers and comedy acts. Probably more than that but we chose to be out and about during the day and to rest/fall asleep watching TV in the evening. Lots of family games provided in the lodge as well as Wi-Fi. Staff onsite were all really friendly and helpful.
