Your mother has not returned to her home country in over 40 years. You are visiting your deceased…read more grandparents and great grandparents for the very first time in your life ever. These types of situations require the best cup of coffee ever made in the universe. To be had before beginning each day you are in town. Representing a sort of, "Alright, I can do this. Let's go." This hotel, only God knows why, possesses the power to produce the most amazing cup of coffee in the world. A dark, rich, house blend, served piping hot. I quickly became addicted. I don't know why I had to be all the way in Bicol to find the best cup of coffee ever served. Maybe God knew I needed it.

The Oriental hotel in Legazpi Albay is one of the places I like to stay when I come to visit…read more Compared to all the other hotels in the area this is the best. The staff is always friendly. They start their mornings with their dance routine to promote teamwork and exercise. They also encourage the guest to take part, everyone is very polite and respectful. The property has a restaurant which serves a breakfast buffet which is included in your room fee. The breakfast is American and Filipino. There is also a coffee shop in the property. They only complaint that I have is that their coffee cups come in one size small. Not a good fit for a girl who starts her morning with Venti size coffee. However the coffee shop has fantastic view of the volcano and surrounding areas which makes it perfect for working remotely. They also have a secret bar. Don't forget to ask about it. The property has a spa and you can ask for a massage. The prices are very reasonable $20 for one hour. So if you are ever in Legazpi Albay check out this hotel

Hotel is high end but not perfect, but the view and pool make up for the rest of you can appreciate that! Stay the night or just pay to use the pool for the day (450php 1/21/20)

Easy in, easy out!!!…read more We're alway hesitant booking a reservation at a place we've never been before. Lotus Blu put our anxiety to rest right off the bat. Check-in was easy, as was check-out. The hotel is in real good condition. Staff is friendly. We even asked for the room that my brother-in-law was staying in to be close to the elevator because he is physically disabled and the staff accommodated that with no questions asked. We took advantage of the free shuttle to the airport which was perfect. We only spent one night there so we didn't get a chance to test their restaurant. All in all, highly recommended - - I can't think of anything negative. Enjoy.

Don't let the Filipino hype about this place fool you. The locals seem to think this place is 5…read morestar...no absolutely not..Just because it's overpriced and most people in PI can't afford it doesn't make it great. The property is not kept up well, seen better days maybe. In the lobby they have Louie Vuitton Boxes and other luxury names used to decorate behind the front desk..if you're gonna go there and claim to be as elegant as the labels you're obsessed with you better bring your "A" game in quality...but you didn't. The good: Great views on the way there, so green. Great views from the beach and the resort looks cute from afar. Cute slippers and robe available in my room. and awesome massage therapist! she was great! The bad: Very basic very average very run down. we had garden views double occupancy, 2 rooms. Cute little pool next to us, but the constant waterfall in the pool could get little loud. The room was poorly lit, no safe available. Large window sofa was stained and so was the small bench i placed my carry on luggage. The bathroom..great division of toilet and shower but for goodness sake CLEAN the glass dividers!! our mirrors were not clean either. Our toilet seat kept sliding back and forth and the door for toilet would not shut. When i left the room for breakfast i requested my room be cleaned..I came back to a made bed but they didn't throw away the left over food from room service the night before. The surrounding landscape grounds are nice in some areas but not all over..the poor Koi are living in green cloudy algae water by the gym. oh the gym! rusty old workout equipment and a bent benching bar. the beach area was cute, but i rented a paddle board and it has seem better days the plastic or paint was chipping like crazy and the rubber falling apart it was a sad paddle-board. We played ping pong and that table was broken and just at its last leg. Staff for the most part was great and friendly. And dining..breakfast, lunch and dinner....sub-par..terrible and most of the stuff we wanted to try was not available! .....So buyer beware if you want luxury...it is not.

What a rip-off for locals…read more.. its either the owner does not know what the over rated prices are or he doesn't care about the customers. Be careful on what you order. Make sure you ask first before ordering, because the prices are way over priced; more expensive than 1st world. For example, a local buko, which cost from P20-P40, will cost you P250 in this dem place. prices are not regulated by government thats why they just can pruce customers whatever they want. Totally a shame to this country, for Filipino people. Corruption at its finest! NEVER ever recommend this place

Stayed at Venezia Hotel for 6 days/5nights for a dose of work-cation. The only thing I can complain…read moreis that I stayed at the 3rd floor and there was no elevator. Rooms are really spacious equipped with comfortable linens. The hotel has a relaxing ambiance equating the long and tiring hours we spent for our 5-day field work. I literally looked forward in waking up every morning as the sight of Mt. Mayon is presently seen from my window. Tip: request for Mayon View and wake up as early as 6am to see its full majestic view. Most of the time, the perfect cone was covered with clouds. I am always keen about the food that the hotel serves, the breakfast buffet service at Venezia is something commendable and available from 6:00am to 10:00am. If you're planning to visit Bicol, Venezia offers free airport transfers and even day tour to Misibis Bay. There are all-in packages inclusive of water activities in Misibis. It is actually located inside a village. The pool is a 3-minute walk from the hotel premises but the area is extremely safe and quiet. There are rooms with two deluxe beds that can fit a family of four.
