Aila Homestay

The property features fully equipped kitchens, a clean pool, laundry facilities, and friendly staff. Guests appreciate the spacious, modern rooms and comfortable amenities, but mention stable WiFi and effective air conditioning.

A good base to stay. Comfy bed and pillows, good AC. Kitchen is well equipped, even though we didn’t cook, it had everything you needed. Ken, the owner son, gave us his WhatsApp number and he responded promptly to any questions we had. The internet was good, so I was able to continue teaching while staying there. Yes, the signal did drop out a couple of times, but each room having its own WiFi router was a benefit. Nice outdoor veranda to sit out on in the evening. Great pool area, that to be honest not many other guests used, so we had the pool to ourselves. Aila Homestay is about 5 minutes drive from Alona Beach area. The Homestay provide a tri car for 300PHP per way, but you can get it cheaper if you get the number of a local tri car driver (150PHP). They also offer laundry (wash and dry only for 300PHP for 5kg of laundry). They have plenty of rules, but this is a good thing as far as I am concerned as you know where you stand and what to expect from other guests. Overall I would recommend staying here. One recommendation would be for Ken to match the price, or even offer the tri car to Alone Beach area for free once per day per room. Other places we are staying in are offer this service.
