Damires Hills Farm and Spa Resort

The new room villa with private dipping pool was cozy, nice and clean, providing a comfortable and welcoming space for us to relax. The layout was spacious, with plenty of room for everyone. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the cozy atmosphere, which made it the perfect spot to unwind after a day of activities. The décor was tastefully done, and the room was well-maintained, creating a peaceful environment for our stay. Overall, it was a wonderful place to spend quality time with loved ones. We also had free daily massage, breakfast for 4, free zipline, access to canopy walk and farm tour

The most beautiful hotel ever !!!! I’m speechless

Our family went there for a day tour and was treated rudely by the restaurant staff. They were told to sit outside the restaurant as they didn't avail of the 500 pesos consumable,and even informed them to ONLY order drinks, since they are just there for a day tour. What a shame!!!

One of the best resorts I’ve stayed at so far! From the warm 'Mabuhay! Mayad nga adlaw' greeting upon arrival to the breathtaking views during breakfast, everything was exceptional. The rooms were immaculate, and the personalized touches like a welcome note and fresh fruits in the room made us feel so special. The food at Balay Uma is a must-try, with standout dishes like KBL, Lengua Sisig, Binusog na Bangus, and Binacol na Manok. Huge thanks to Sir Marlo and the amazing team—Jenica, Wilson, Julie Ann, Lyn Rose, Nielsi, Gary, and Lani—for making our stay unforgettable. Can’t wait to be back!

Trying to get decent information was a pain. But once in check in was fairly smooth. Good restaurant service. Safe pool for the children. Food not bad either. Signature spa excellent. Gave the 3 rating because at the end of the day- it poured with rain and suddenly not a single driver of their 3 buggies could be found - waited an hour and the kids decided to run through the pouring rain. Receptionist helpless as she couldn’t leave her post nor would she allow guard to leave his post to rouse said useless drivers. A couple who had just checked in said they too had been waiting an hour just to be brought to their room. So I dunno. Owners better do something

“Silent Hill” If you’re not familiar with this movie title, it was a horror film released in 2006. Our experience with Damires Hills was not as horrifying but more of a dreaded experience. Indeed, when we arrived at this nature retreat, we were welcomed by a silent breeze and the sound of distant chimes, gentle rustling of the tree leaves and occasional creaking sound of bamboo…which seemed relaxing and peaceful. Much like how horror films start. The horror started after checking in. We had some time to freshen up before a scheduled meeting, so we proceeded to our rooms. Upon entering you will be welcome by the musty stench of the room and when you open the tap and shower the odor of the water was a warning to not take this by mouth. They did provide two small bottles of bottled water, which was not enough after a long trip. Fortunately, the smell of the tap water improved after running the tap and shower for a few minutes. I also noticed the wooden soap holder which was full of molds while trying to freshen up. Then much to my surprise there were no available towels in the room. I had to request for this, which arrived 30 minutes after, that is after reminding them twice that no towels were provided. When the towels arrived, these were moist and had a certain odor like when laundry is not properly done. Upon unraveling the towel, it was tattered and full of stains that suggests this has not been laundered well or at least replaced if the stains were not removed after proper laundering. Good thing a brought an Arena quick dry sports towel for emergency use. Hurriedly, after a quick freshening up I proceeded to the meeting venue. We didn’t have time to check the beds and the cabinets to see what was lurking within. We had a decent lunch spread and mirienda during our meeting breaks. Nothing great. I was expecting Iloilo cuisine at its finest or at least dishes to remember since there was so much hype about Damires Hills. The forested areas were nice, but we noticed the pools were poorly maintained with unclear pool water and floating leaves. At night fall the pathways to our rooms and to another venue for dinner were poorly lighted and quite spooky. We had dinner near one of the pools which again was poorly lit and the dinner buffet was mediocre at best. One of my companions even commented that the dinner spread had no theme at all, just a mixture of dishes that didn’t please the palate. After the dinner, we had some short activities and fellowship. Our friends from Iloilo were so kind to bring some good pulutan for this. Together with the cold SMB this was a respite from previous disappointments with Damires HIlls. Apparently, the pool bar didn’t have any simple complimentary pika-pika like peanuts and the like. After a few hours, some of us decided to call it a night after a long day of travel and work meetings. Going back to the room, the musty smell had decreased after airing the room for about an hour. This is the time I noticed the cabinets
