If you are looking for an serene, beautiful and hospitable experience...look no further! Some reviews say this place is "hard to get to" or "not close to anything"...isn't that the point of coming all the way out to this paradise!!! Starting with the hotel itself, it has everything you NEED. The hotel is a little older but for what it lacks in modern touches it vastly makes up for in a unique and classy European castle style. The beach is private and for most of my stay I had it completely to myself. There is some light music from adjacent hotels(probably bc I was there for New Year time) but aside from that all you hear is waves crashin and the chatter of local kids playing in the distance on the beach. Magical. The staff was phenomenal. From the moment I arrived they were waiting for me and continued to do so for my entire stay. They were a bit understaffed for the holiday but the staff worked day and night to make sure all guests felt @ home. It is secluded so there really is only the option to eat @ their restaurant...which is awesome! The owner is a German Chef and the menu reflects in. I was there 4 days and enjoyed every meal. Breakfast is included which is convenient and delicious. I also bought a 2 Kilo fish from a local and they prepared it amazingly for me. Fish prep fee was less that $35 USD. A unique and recommended special treat. Lastly, if you stay here you MUST treat yourself to a massage from Grace. Only 600 Peso and worth every cent! LOVE IT and TY!!!

This hotel is amazing. The owner Hans is a super friendly german man. The whole staff is extremely nice, you feel super welcome and at home. The hotel facilities are amazing. The pool is also great.

Internet description and pictures misleading

Arrival to the White Castle is 2km down a very narrow single vehicle track past huts with lots of locals and dogs about. I had booked 2 rooms and on arrival, about 7pm and dark, the first impression was strange as there was only one other car in the car park. Booking in was very quick and helpful but discovered we were on the 2nd floor and there is no lift (not mentioned on the internet) but a man took our bags up winding stairs and corridors. The 2 rooms (8 and 9) were spacious but no TV's (not mentioned on the internet). Shower in one room not working and the 2nd room had a large Cockroach in the bathroom and the air conditioner unit was the height and immediately at the side of the bed, so when it was on you were directly receiving the blast. Internet access was not available in the room (not mentioned on the internet) I voiced my concerns and told the staff that I was greatly disappointed. They told me they were fully booked and could not move us. (They were surprised to learn what I had paid) . They then decided they had one more room available and showed us. It turned out to be the room shown on the internet which did have a TV. Eventually they suddenly had another room but again the shower didn't work. Next day we decided to find somewhere else but they argued we could not get a refund even though I expressed many times that I was not happy as the internet was very misleading. I located a lovely place (lago de oro) on the main road which was brilliant and cheaper..

Relaxing Stay

The room is big and clean. I like the garden and the view of the sea and the coconut trees. Our stay was very relaxing. I would like to note a few odds in our stay: The shower was broken and the food was expensive.

A Fantastic Get Away!

It was an amazing experience. The hotel was well kept and the staff are courteous. My only comment was that there are garbage in the beachfront. It would have been a perfect get-away if the beach is clean.

Beautiful hotel with a pool and near the beach.

The hotel and staff was perfect what I don't like is that guests are not allowed to cook on their own. The hotel requires a very costly corkage if one brings food from outside. It's understandable that they have a restaurant which, is base on my point of view, very expensive but that the price is not commensurate to the taste or amount served. I just hope you can give your guest a choice or better yet don't charge too much because it can ruin the trip when one is not satisfied with what they eat.

Okay hotel ugly beach

The hotel is okay, however we did not swim at the sea because the beach and water were very dirty. I know this is not wholly the fault of the hotel but it general, this area needs some serious cleanup. Else, it'll end up like Manila Bay.

Good but not so nice

The hotel itself is nice and okay. Very friendy and accomodating staff that will assist you for everything you need Food is nice, value for maney is very good since service is enough for 2 persons. The bed maybe hard and not soft enough to be comfortable. It's just the beach front, the sand, and beach itself that I will not recommend to others.

Worth The Return Trip

We stayed in this hotel a few months ago and was very pleased with the continuing friendliness and overall pleasantness of the staff and facilities. We were surprised with a water side view this time with an upgrade to the room that was unexpected. Everyone from the manager (Mary Grace) to the groundskeeper was very helpful and attended to our needs. The holiday weekend resulted in more guests this time than before but there was no let down in the service. The breakfast was good and the coffee hot! It is still tricky to get to the hotel from the main road but there are clear signs to direct you.

PROS: Food for dinner was delicious and the serving was huge. Prices are reasonable, as well. Service is very good, staff are friendly and the resident manager, Grace, is accommodating. There are things to do like volleyball, and they have nice open-air cabanas. The pool looks clean (we didn't swim so I wouldn't know for sure). If you don't want to camp out, the place is near Burot Beach. CONS: The rooms assigned to us were on the 2nd and 3rd floor. It was raining when we arrived and within an hour after arriving, my husband slipped on one of the stairs leading towards the pool because the "hand rail" was made of marble so there was no grip because it was wet. Fortunately, he only got a few cuts on his arm and a temporary backache. The resort offered to bring him to a nearby hospital but the cuts were minor and his back recovered so we decided not to go. We requested to be transferred to a room on the 1st floor and was offered one fronting the beach. The room looked like it has not been used for a while (the videoke machine was stored there) and we figured out why later - the aircon was leaky and formed a puddle on the floor. We did not bother to complain anymore as we were only there for a night anyway, and the resort was full so we didn't really have a choice. The neighborhood is not ideal. It's situated in a fishing village so the beach is not very clean. There's lots of trash on the shore, and in some areas, floating on the water (like diapers, etc).

Only if you have a car..

The hotel was just ok.. I suggest you only go there if you have a car or motorbike because it s kind of remote place and transportation is difficult and costly. The room was big but not even a kettle or a small refrigerator inside..wifi not covering at all in room.. I think those thinks are a must for a hotel. The food was ok but costly also... Cleaning is ok only a lot of ants in the bathroom.. The rest are ok.. It s a nice place to relax..
