Balar Hotel and Spa

Reception a bit strict. I booked 2 rooms. Unforeseen event, i excess 1 child, she really chased us. Calling room time tontime asking how many are inside. This is despite wifi was down all day and only fixed 10:30PM. Should be give and take...

The place was nice and cozy with very friendly and accommodating staff. I would definitely recommend it to my friends.

Marinduque is climbing the charts of the best places Ive visited so far this year.. People are very well mannered.. Food is Great! There are a lot of places to vist and a lot of things to do. Balar on the other hand is the worst ive ever been. They have the worst policies in place for a generic hotel, blower wasn’t working - we asked for it to be repaired and staff said they already called the technician to fix - they didnt fix it. No one’s available to clean the room after 5pm. though on the other note.. the employees are great. If you are looking not to spoil your visit in Marinduque might as well look for another hotel.

Abbiamo prenotato 4 notti al Balar Resort and spa, ci siamo trovate talmente bene, che abbiamo esteso il nostro soggiorno di altre 3 notti! Hotel pulitissimo , posizione eccellente per visitare la splendida isola di Marinduque, lo staff tutto estremamente gentile e disponibile per ogni esigenza, un ringraziamento speciale alla gentilissima e professionale Jonelyn che nelle giornate di pioggia ci ha procurato anche un preziosissimo ombrello! 😃 Sempre degli stessi proprietari, proprio accanto c'è un piccolo negozio fornito di tutto, e di fronte all'Hotel il 10 Y. O. Cafe, dove gustare ottimi pasti!

I highly recommend this place especially if you are looking for American standard hotel. The room can be compared to Marriott but better with a nice view and balcony. It’s very comfortable, clean and smells great. Wi fi is a little bit slow but it’s normal in this island. I highly praise the staff. They are friendly, approachable and listen to our needs. Btw, they do not have an elevator. Something to consider if you have someone that needs elevator. However, the staff are very helpful to assist you with your luggage. The place is very quiet. There’s a restaurant next to the hotel selling Filipino, Japanese, Korean etc food and a convenience store that sells American and korean drinks and snacks. I highly recommend this place and for sure I will book again in my next visit.

Exceeded our expectations. The place is very homey. We rented the family room and its huge, the only thing missing is a shower curtain or divider from the toilet to the shower area from one of the bathroom because there’s 2 which is really great for a family room. But that’s just a small matter… everything else is perfect. Breakfast is excellent as well.

The staff and the manager on duty is very hands on to us, In fact I was looking for my wallet that time also I realized that we are about to leave. The staff and the manager went to our room and finally found my wallet with valuable cards and cash! Thank you so much! Highly recommended!

I really like the accommodation.The room is clean and up to date. Food is great . I will consider coming back in my next trip to marinduque.

I enjoy our stay at this hotel. The staffs were very friendly. The room is clean and spacious very much like some of the hotel here in manila. The only thing I don't like is their lack of space for dine in. During breakfast you have to wait for others to finish their meals before you can have a seat which you will be sharing with other on your table. Still I may stay here again if I will be going to Marinduque again.
