Hi,
Sorry for your disappointed stay in Durhans White Beach Resort. I've already talked to mgt about your issue.
With regard to the trip, as all of us here in Cebu knows, the trip will usually take 2-3hrs depending on the driver and if ever you're taking a bus, VHire, Private Vehicle.
Personally, I think the rooms are worth the price and accommodation of person for each room is correct.. The room that you said is good for 4 person can actually house in up to 6 persons if you're talking about C1, C2, C3 rooms. The other rooms are only good for 2&3 persons though and we're talking about A1-4 & B1-4.
I can attest to this since I've stayed at the resort also.
yes, I agree that the excess charge is very expensive since mgt is limiting excess heads per room to give customers better comfort and the rooms wouldn't get crowded. Maybe we can have this addressed during the monthly mgt meeting.
About the Cable TV, as we all know Tabuelan is situated in the province and have very few options with the service. I remember they have already tried Dream Cable already and were experiencing problems. And now they're hooked up with Cignal Cable in which we all know buffers all the time.
As for the water, if you ask for tap water then it'll be free however if you want mineral then it should be charged, right? That's been the practice ever since. If you go eat in a restaurant, fast food chain and the likes you'll be asked if you'll have tap water or mineral, it's free for tap but you pay for mineral. Good thing that there's 1 piso hulog hulog mineral wherein you can save you're Php. 20 for a bottled water, right?
For the food, I agree with you that it's not that good. Thing is, most customers bring there own food to cook. We bring our own food to cook when we stay in resorts. It's more affordable and you can cook with you own choice of taste. The resort is doing its best to get the best cook available in the area since the location is in the province.
As for the hot water, I'll inform mgt on what can be done about this.
If we stay in 5 star hotels for a day we pay 4-8k/ room and that only includes breakfast for some hotels. Also, there are no 5 star hotels in Tabuelan.
Where can you find a resort wherein there are no stray dogs? If you go to mactan or any other resorts here in cebu, even in bohol and boracay there are stray dogs, right?
I do think that Durhans White Beach Resort isn't a paradise but close to one.
PS:
If kamo to ang ni hangyo sa van nga mgpa hatud sa simbahan, wala mo gi hatud kay wala man to labot sa sabot cgro. Ang sabot is 2 ways lang. Going there and back to the city. If nag plano mo nga himuon unta gamiton ang van going around the town then you could've talked to the owner of the van regarding it.
Also, you could have aired your disappointment here.
Tabuelan - nice beach!
Again, sorry for your disappointed stay.
Hope to be of better service on your next stay.
Nice to know you guys had a great time!
@: findingmiming & chubbylita You mind if you can inform us also what made your stay a disappointment? So the mgt of the resort can address the issue? Thank you.
