Paradise cove

Love this place! Small property on Markoe cove. The beach is a coral beach with a seawall. Water is clear and beautiful. Our room was magnificent with old world charm. AC blew cold. Restaurant was great we ate dinner there once and breakfast everyday. It’s only a 5 minute tricycle ride to the nightlife in Sabang beach if that is your thing. If your looking for solitude and beauty this is it. WiFi was intermittent but I was there to unwind. Cellular signal was strong though. Staff was great and attentive. I will be back. If your never been to Mindoro the water is beautiful. I was on a short stay but next time I plan to dive.

This resort was very very unique. Interesting architecture and stonework. Nice little bay. The staff was top notch. Bent over backwards to help us. The weather wasn’t great so we didn’t get to snorkel the bay until the last day and the water was cloudy and full of floating debris from all the wind and rain blowing into the bay. With the rain came the mosquitoes. And there were a lot of mosquitoes. The internet was not great for us. Might have been our VPN. The internet worked fine the first day, but after that it was spotty at best. The food was good which was nice. Not much in walking distance. The called trikes whenever you needed one. Most rides were 15 minutes. Unfortunate the weather was bad. Probably would have enjoyed it more. We loved the staff.

From arrival, the place SCREAMED scarcity. The breakfasts for example: Two eggs, two pieces of toast, two slices of ham, one slice of cucumber, a spoon size butter and jam, ONE cup of brewed coffee. That was it. Because we were booked for the “King Suite” (the top room in the property, which cost fortune), the lady who served us agreed to bring us two finger size small slices of mango. But this stroke of “kindness” stopped soon after when she explained that it costs extra. By her behaviour she obviously believed that if she is bringing us a second refill for our coffee, it counts as an amazing generosity. No soap in the bathroom of the dining room, and an old used small solid one that they did not replace for the entire three weeks we were there. You get one pack of instant coffee and one tea bag for a person, which is a part of the ridiculousness of this place. Scarcity. Every little thing, including ice, costs. The restaurant is beyond expensive. The beach is stony, and you can hardly get into the water, only during hightide. There are properties from both sides of the resorts so you can’t walk on the stony beach either. Finally, they keep the lights on the external part of the balcony, and you can’t even control it. It means mosquitos and it is hard to sleep with the lights outside. The neighbors from the other room walk through your balcony back and forth to the stairs, and there is never a sense of privacy. The water pressure is always low and often it is only warm

The staff were excellent in providing their service. Very friendly and accommodating. However, their contacts for the day trips were not reliable. We’ve voiced our concerns and attempted to rectify it. We just accepted it as our loss in the end. The location of the resort was secluded and quite peaceful and relaxing. The sunrise view was the best.

DUPED BY MISLEADING EXPEDIA LISTING PHOTOS Will never return here & would discourage anyone from thinking about it! Reception staff uninviting, no Wi-Fi codes until went back to request, then seemed too much trouble for them. Pointless as Wi-Fi virtually unusable. Room not in grand building in photos but chalet style room along rough gravel path; impossible to wheel bags or walk properly around hotel grounds. Room size ok but had extremely noxious strong paint smell. Told decorated two weeks prior; stank of paint, wall backed on to road noisy forming hotel perimeter to continually used street. Bed hard & uncomfortable; air conditioner noisy, ineffective, badly located low to ground & next to bed. Anyone knows cold air falls, warm air rises so positioning utter stupidity. Fridge noisy, continually clicked on/off all night, impossible to sleep. Pointless kitchen & walk in cupboard with no drawers or hangings for clothes, wastes room space. Large blue tank FREE water, impossible to cool in fridge. Why not just have small bottles? Arrived late in evening, nothing else nearby as hotel in middle of nowhere, decided to chance hotel restaurant, Busy with one server. Poor woman was overrun & did her best. Average food at outrageous price. Only transport scam artist motorcycle sidecars outside hotel waiting to rip you off for short ride. Who named place Blue Crystal Beach Resort? NO BEACH waves lap on concrete retaining wall, water rocky, fit only for divers, not bathers.

Bye - bye

I love the place and the people there, so I went there several times - so much for starters. This time I got a room with quite a number of lush green bushes in front of it, watered twice daily lavishly. Pity of it is: That makes an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes. And I had dozens of them in the room every night, far more than in any other room I stayed in this place so far. A mosquito net would help (none there), anti-mosquito treatment of the bushes would help (neither done nor planned to be done) - the way it is it is just a nuisance for the guest. Next thing I realized is that there was a change in the kitchen team (or maybe the cook fell heavily in love): In contrast to my stays there before the food this time was overly salty (constantly) and the quality of the food did decline noticeably - for whatever reason. Last thing I did not like at all: Groups of guests listening in the middle of the hotel garden to overly loud music all day long. One of the following days it became even better: Another group of guests having a barbecue on the premises (cleaning the raw squid they bought directly at the beach and leaving the plastic bags with the waste of that cleaning lying directly at the waterfront in the sun - that much for consideration) and were indulging in a nerve racking karaoke session that lasted for more than 10 hours. I am sorry folks, but as nice as the place and the people there might be - I was there for the last time, I think.
