Villa MJ Maristela Beach Resort Reviews

Beautiful place to stay with a great location,clean rooms and friendly staff. Can’t wait to come back

The room is very clean and it's really like a hotel it has a comforter like the ones you see at hotels we availed the deluxe room so its not that spacious specially the comfort room only one person can fit in. You can bring your own drinks or foods too inside the resort you don't need to pay a corkage fee. They have court for basketball and volleyball the price is cheaper when you rent it in daytime. We also tried their full body massage for 1 hr that cost us 750 pesos each. You will need to go to their resto to claim your free breakfast if you avail the room that comes with a breakfast, it will not be delivered to your room but you can choose whichever breakfast meal they have in their menu plus it comes with a soup which is great and their foods taste delicious also the price of their food is reasonable but they have a 10% service charge for dine in and 15% for room service. The resto's cutoff for room service is 5pm, 7pm for dine in. The resort's downside is their operations time the front desk and restaurant is only open from 7am-8pm so if you're going to need something from the front desk after that time no one can assist you because they'll be gone by then only the guard will be left in the front door and also if you got hungry at night you might need to buy food from their resto before they closes or buy from a nearby convenient store because there's also no foodpanda or grabfood nearby stores also closes early so you have to plan your dinner ahead of time. We went to SM (closes at 9pm) the fare going there using tricycle is 120pesos.Their pool is only open till 9pm only if you want to eat or drink near the pool you can use their cabanas. Another downside is the beach, the beach area closes at 8pm. Their sand is gray (but a fine sand) you can't really swim in it because the waves are strong and the water is not clear and it's kinda dirty there's a lot of trash beside the beach it's not well maintained. You will really need to go island hopping which is already not part of the resort's activity so they'll let you sign a waiver. There's a lot of bangkero beside the beach it's best to ride by group there's only 2 of us when we rode the boat so it's a bit expensive, island hopping will cost you around 2000 (1 island) to 3.5k (2 islands) we availed the 3.5k. We went coral diving (they lent us their goggles for free or bring your own goggles) and also went at the white sand beach which is in Bauan, Batangas which also has clear water and you can also spot some fish and corals, travel time going to those 2 places is 35-45mins you can also bring your food but keep in mind to really cover it in plastic so it won't get wet because the trip going there is really rocky you will really get wet because you will pass by a strong waves so cover all your belongings. It was raining when we went there so maybe that's why the waves are strong. Overall we had a blast! We indeed had a memorable stay. They even gave us a gift when we checked out they're so thoughtful. Thank you for the wonderful experience we will surely recommend you to our friends.

Very good

Toilet not flushing , sink detached from the wall and floor, leaking from below. Staff was informed but someone came just to mop the floor. That room needs serious work. 217 , we had a reservation for two days but we left after 24 hours.

Super friendly staff. Their rooms are very clean and comfy! Lots of spots to take cool pictures and food is superb 💕 I love how pet friendly this resort is and we’ll definitely visit again!!! This is so worth it considering their not so pricey rates yet quality is 10/10

Overall, it's good except their resto. For a weekend, most food and drinks in their restaurant are unavailable.

Been here already for 3 times and each time I go, I always enjoy my stay! Food is great, beach is great, you don't get to see black sand beach all the time. Rooms are comfy to stay in, and staffs are generally approachable. I liked the court, got to play basketball with other visitors as well and had fun.

Hotel staff are excellent, but rooms are very tiny , no kettle but they will get you one but you have to pay . Extra pillows you pay for .. at breakfast there's no milk .no tea. Only very strong think coffee .pool is very nice It's so noisy here with a karaoke machine on site and one in the next resort also a basketball court. So they practice in the corridors of the hotel running up and down kicking the ball up the walls . The beach is filthy with rubbish and excrement everywhere . The sea is full of moss and stones . There's nothing to do in lemery so it's a taxi to shops or supermarkets

Very friendly, very good communication with the staff. Little bit noisy night time from the pool pump. Hopefully they can fix that. Very recommended place.

The place is clean. Hotel staffs are helpful and respectful.

it was nice and the access to the beach is really good

Staff are realy very good .pool is realy nice ..but the place is oh so noisey with a karaoke machine by the beach they also have one at the next door property. .theres also a basketball court but children tend to practise in the corridors of the hotel up the walls also run play past the rooms ..there is no coffee or tea making facilities in the room but you can ask for a kettle and cups and teaspoon but you will be charged extra we were also charged for extra 2 pillows ! if you want more than one egg at breakfast you will be charged .. they dont have tea only very very strong thick coffee also milk is not available only powdered. We brought some bacon from the supermarket which they will gladly cook for you but ... .. yes you guest it !! ... they charge you for cooking the bacon lol . Avoid the beach its filthy with rubbish and excrement and loads of pebbles and moss in the water .. outside the hotel theres is no restaurants and nothing to do .. you will need to catch a taxi to the main town to shops

did not like the food esp the angus beef which were too tough. wine is terrible

Very good stay highly recommended indeed ❤️❤️❤️Staff are very friendly.
