We (1 x Australian male & 1 x Filipina) stayed for one week in a Family Apartment. We chose Villa Prescilla as we wanted to be able to self-cater and cook our own meals. The hotel is a short drive from both the airport (via taxi) and the centre of Dumaguete (trike). Getting transport via a trike is easy, plus the trikes here are much bigger than in Manila or Angeles and the prices were reasonable: but it does help if you have a Filipina with you to ensure you are not being taken advantage of 😊 (but I still gave tips to drivers). Location is away from the noise of Dumaguete, but the road is still very busy and noise from traffic can be a bit of a problem, but main bedroom is at the rear of the building and we kept the doors shut. The hotel is a bit old and showing its age, but it is still clean, pleasant and had everything we needed, plus the caretaker/s were very helpful and friendly. My only gripe would be in relation to the Wi-Fi signal which at times was non-existent (welcome to the Philippines...lol). In the times we live, Wi-Fi has become a necessity and I was relying on being able to use my laptop, so it was of great importance to me to be able to access the internet when I wanted / needed. Fortunately, each time I really needed to access the internet the caretakers would come to the apartment and were able to get a signal for me. My Filipina was very happy with the kitchen facilities and was able to whip up some great meals.

Staff was accommodating and pleasant. There is a place to cook food if you want and also a washing machine. The pool is nice and I would recommend to anyone. Road noise does pick up around 5pm to 6pm but it didn’t bother me. Great spot for sure!

It was a nice hotel and friendly staff. The rooms were comfortable.

The place is strategically perfect, not too far from downtown, and since the area is residential, it's quiet and perfect for families with kids, there's a pool and a fully functional kitchen so you can cook food if you're tired of eating out in restos. hospital, water refilling stations, laundry, etc are within walking distance. Since it's one of the main roads, you can get a ride easily.

I was not happy with the room I stayed in. The vent fans were not working. I believe the room had mold spores in it. There was a water machine that also did not work. When I plugged it in, it heated both the hot water and cold water valves.
