Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pico de Sands. Our hotel had a few minor maintenance requirements, but overall, great getaway! Wished I booked our stay a little longer before making prior plans.

I was supposed to get a bigger room but I didn't.everything was so expensive...boat rides jet skis so expensive.food

Was happy to have discovered this gem. Beautiful place to r n r, close to Manila. Staff was very patient and accommodating. Loved how the resort was constantly kept clean, check in was efficient and thank you for the upgrade. Keep up the great work and looking forward to visiting again.

Location

It was a relaxing one as akways. I just sneeze in the room when aircon is functioning, meaning, its not maintained prooerly, thats why the dust. Understandable though, but I hooe it can be acted on.

I observed that the aircon is not clean because everytime we use it, we sneeze.

Our two night stay was relaxing and also refreshing. Hotel is nestled near a lagoon and surrounded by lush forest and hills. Our room was clean and spacious. The beach is within walking distance and beautifully framed in the center of a cove. Many amenities are available from rentable jet skis, boat rides to neatby coves to a beautiful outdoor pool. the two restaurna I would atay at this hotel again.

View from room

Room is ok ,but their restaurant only serve lunch diner buffet for their guests, if you want their A la carte menu, you should order the food and eat it at your room , why is the restaurant don't provide a space for those who would order A la carte menu

Good place to stay .. everything you need is in one place

Spacious sorroundings

The staff are all friendly and accommodating. The pools in the country club are clean. The place is nice. The pico de loro cove has big shoreline. There is a short zumba session by the beach. We had fun.

Due to an excisting foot injury the hotel kindly provided a mini wheelchair. But it was totally inadequate in size and, due to its small front wheels, caught in a metal drain tipping me out onto the pathway. I injured my knee and hip and I need an X-ray. This did affect my holiday of course. Paramedics were called. However the staff were so friendly and accommodating, the breakfast buffet was extensive with an additional omelette which was really crunchy with the chopped vegetables. The lunch and dinner offerings were superb a bit pricy though. The drinks (red wine for me) at ₱385 per glass were also expensive but they had an offer of ₱700 for as much as you want. It's a 'no brainer'. The room was a good size, a comfortable bed but a settee would have been nice rather than sit on the bed all the time. My wife and I stayed for 6 nights.

Pico Sands is a great hotel. It is located at Pico beach and shares facilities with the Pico country club and resort. Check-in was seamless and their focus on keeping the resort COVID-free was impressive. In fact, we stayed at two 5-star hotels prior to this and the Pico Sands was the only one to ask for vaccination certificates. The food in the restaurant is first-rate. The facility is now a little older but clean and functional. Overall highly recommended, but book early.

Great place to stay if you want piece and quiet.

Excellent

Check in time was at 2:00pm but our rooms were not ready yet by 3pm.

Friendly professional staff, excellent food, and top notch amenities!

location is nice but we booked room with extra large balcony and significant extra - they forgot to mention that you can't sit there as it right above the aircons and is incredibly noisy! Also, food choices for lunch/dinner very limited and OVERPRICED. And staff are friendly but not trained for 5 staff hotel! Requested make up of room, which they forgot, staff don't understand simple requests in English, Staff not trained like what you expect in 5 start hotel - 2-3 stars at most!

Lost a lot of close through there laundry service.They outsource it and never got back what they sent out

No other choices when it comes c to food

not even 3 star

Nature

Poor value for money. Poor amenities. We were informed that our rooms were available at 3:20 PM via text message.

I love our stay Pico Sands as always. The room are clean and have enough amenities for a very comfortable stay. The only issue we had is that I booked 3 rooms for me and my family which are mostly seniors and they are not near each other. The front desk helped us out though to have them on the same floor. Other than that our stay is great.

Definitely overpriced Resort. In international class maximum 3 star Hotel! The catering, meals, breakfast is under the standards! Not recommend for this price!

The place was nice but the food in their restaurant is disappointing and would definitely not be back to eat in that restaurant. The sinigang soup we ordered was cold and the shrimp was not fresh. And the service took forever. Very disappointed

Upon arrival the hotel appeared to have limited facilities (covid induced perhaps) all their convenience shops were closed and almost no restaurant choices but as it turned out the food was nice and menu size just enough for our 4 night stay. This could have been made clear to us prior to booking but was not! Beer and soft drinks were very expensive compared to other Philippine resorts and as their shops were closed we would either be T-Total or pay up.With nothing close to Pico Sands we stayed within the resort however for 1000 peso each way you could venture outside to visit the small beach villages about 15 to 30 mins south of the resort which, according to Google, have more restaurant choices (not sure what they were like cos we did not go).The walking trail to Santelmo beach was good and being mid week rather than weekend we had the 'paradise' beach to ourselves. The beach is privately owned by the resort and well kept.We saw a 6 foot monitor lizard on the trail and some reef sharks frolicking by the shore when we arrived at the beach. Snorkeling was excellent, many fish, and also saw giant clams which were about the size of beach balls. Opted to take their luxury boat back to Pico de Loro beach which was expensive but a great way to end the trip.All in all, the staff were friendly and accommodating and the hotel set around a beautiful lagoon with water lilies and if you want a quiet beach holiday and don't want to get too active then you'll probably enjoy it.

This property continued to underwhelm. The ground maintenance was poor, the staff unmotivated, the food was sub standard, the beach cafe was atrocious and didn't have anything on the menu and didn't open until midday, it was totally over priced for what it offered and worst of all you had a plastic paper arm band attached to your wrist on arrival as if you were attending a teenage disco or concert event. I will never go back and I hope others don't either.
