A good value. Hot water shower, air conditioning, cable TV, comfortable bed, and backup generator (used during periodic "brown outs".) Their restaurant is closed but there are three nearby restaurants that are good. Two within easy walking distance and the third is quickly reached by tricycle (local transport). I'm always wary of these types of cottage style rooms as far as security. We had no problems or issues during our stay. Within walking distance of a SCUBA diving resort. Staff was acomodating to our needs.

Far away from the town to be peaceful when that is what you want but 5 min in a tricycle to get to town. Excellent restaurant five minute walk up the hill and another one 10 minutes the other direction. Very easy to get a tricycle on the road in front to go anywhere. And parking if you want to rent a motorbike. Highly recommended.

Clean rooms and very friendly staff. Stayed for a month. 5 min to Sabang in tricycle and 10 to Puerto Galera. Good wifi and good place to meet other travellers. Best restaurant in the area is a short walk away.

Thank you for a very good review sir and our gratitude as well for being patient on the little construction beside your room. Mr. Rusell enjoys his 5 -7 minute walk to Jalyn Restaurant and at times a 20 minute walk to Sabang as a form of exercise. All the best sir.

Thank you for booking room accommodation with us. We respect your review and we will strive harder to be better, we, also appreciate that you extended your stay with us despite how you see our resort. Please note that our room type varies in prices, we have bigger rooms with more complete amenities but slightly higher in cost. Our place is located in a hill and has a nature type set up, there are occassional sightings of bugs and other insects but we do have sprays and try our best to repel them. All the best sir

Lovely cabins and a pool - if some how the beaches weren't enough for you. Great staff, great location and neighbourhood. Tip: go right if you're looking for shops etc.

Simple. Clean. Great owners and view. Have to be able to walk up some stairs. Scuba divers were practicing in the pool! Good restaurant 70 meters down the road. Would definitely stay here again.

Very good value
We had not so high expectation on this resort because of the low price but it was really great. We even prolonged our stay there from 5 to 10 nights. We got an own cabin with terrace from were we had a good view of the ocean. Everything was clean and well mantainced even the pool was so very clean. The receptionist Miriam was always very kind and helpful with everything even advices of travelling costs with different vehicles etc. She even let us cook in the kitchen and barbecue. Even our last day when we needed to travel back again to Manila she assist us with book a boat with free transfer shuttle to Puerto galera Pier. If we ever go to Mindoro again we certainly will stay at Dahilig resort.

very budget resort
This resort is definitely a budget resort next to the road far from the beach. The only good thing here was the staff who is very friendly and helpful. Our rooms were cottage with the Seaview which had a good view of the sea but hard to find other good things. The finishing of the building was completely unfinished and, for example, there was a big gap above the door from which mosquitoes got inside. After the shower, the floor space is wet because the sponge curtain was too short. Hot water worked well. The toilet paper was always wet because it was located under the hand washbasin. Room cleaned once every three days, which is definitely too rare. The bed was okay but the sheets were too small. The room was crooked without any decorations and there were a lot of small ants that also bitten. How this resort can have got so good reviews is really a mystery to me. The 2 stars and the overall rating of 5-6 are closer to reality. The breakfast is worth 100 PHP.

Thank you for taking time to review our property and for appreciating our staff. We are transparent about our location that we're not a beach place resort and that we are not a 5-star property as well, as you may notice from the amount you paid. We appreciate your comment and we addressed these concerns right away. The shower curtain can be adjusted though for guests reference. All the best :)

Wordt nog eens wat
Ze zijn nog volop aan her verbouwen wat leidt tot enige overlast. Dat is van tijdelijke aard neem ik aan. Loopt een drukke weg voorlangs. 's morgens al vroeg muziek van de buren. Het ligt op 2,5 kilometer van alle voorzieningen De prijs kwaliteit verhouding is hier heel goed . Kamers zijn voorzien van airco, alles is nieuw en schoon. Het personeel is heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Er is een zwembad bij. Het uitzicht is fantastisch
