It’s a very nice hotel. The dogs barking at 6.30 a.m are a bit annoying.

The resort offered free shuttle transfers to nearby places which we found very helpful. It also offered transfers to and from the ferry which was also very useful. The restaurant staff were friendly and accommodating and the food was always spot on. The reception staff were incredibly helpful both before and during the stay providing me with information to assist with the travel to the island.

Great location for families who want to enjoy tranquil mountain views, beautiful beaches & fresh seafood. The facilities at Tribal Hills allow fun & excitement for all ages. The pool & spa can be enjoyed by all & for those who like a little adventure i reccomend the ATV experience. Staff are always polite & helpful. One of the best family friendly island getaways that i have experienced.

Friendly service. Not much to do in the area but a good place to stay before leaving/arriving from Batangas Port.

We loved everything about this hotel and our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. We were fortunate to have a corner room (#15) with a huge terrace that offered views on one side of the water and beautiful sunsets, and on the other of the steep mountains and dense forests of Mindoro Oriental. I was worried that being up on the mountainside we would have trouble getting to the beach, but there were always two drivers on call and they took us to the main beaches and picked us up again whenever we asked. We ate all our meals from the hotel kitchen--mostly in our room because our terrace was such a beautiful place to dine al fresco. Every meal we ate was delicious, and the servings were so generous that one lunch would feed us for two meals. The two women serving in the dining room were very congenial and friendly as were the ladies in the office and the drivers. The place had the atmosphere of a happy and well run community. Probably due to Owen, the British owner who built the place and with whom we had several fun and conversations. The pool was clean and refreshing. If you go to Puerto Galera be sure to visit the village of the Iraya Mangyan at Talipanan, across from the far end of Aninuan beach (the best beach.) These are the local indigenous people, some of whom still live in their traditional ways deep in the mountains above. Their woven handicrafts are beautifully made, inexpensive and make the best gifts I have seen in the Philippines.

The hotel, the people and the food were great (Food serve per order is good for two @ reasonable price). The best place to relax compared to getting a hotel close to white beach. Well, we can't blame them of the technical problem.. air-con was shutting down due to the wind that caused electrical problem. But they're into improving their facilities to its best. Another thing is.. going-up and down to the hotel was an unforgettable experience!!! Everyone was screaming!!! Hahaha!!! That was really fun!!! Most of all, the owner of the hotel was so simple and approachable. We enjoyed our stay!!!

We stayed here in October for 4 nights. It was fairly quiet , being off season, so we virtually had the run of the place. We stayed here having read good reviews on tripadvisor and were not disappointed. The view across the valley in the morning was spectacular. The resort is up some steep hills but there is a courtesy bus available at call. the staff were all courteous smiling and helpful. We intend to stay again on my next visit to the Philippines in February

Our stay at this hotel started with a free shuttle from the pier to the hotel.We were greeted with breath taking views here.The owner there is very friendly too....some problems is the branch road to the hotel from the main road if you have a car or motorbike...it's too high to climb but just use the free shuttle and it's ok.....the wi if is very weak and difficult to find A.T.M here but enjoy the simple life for once.

Wonderful place, great for families. They offer free local shuttle services since the hotel is up a short very steep hill... the restaurant has a fantastic sea view, with food and service ok. Archery not to well in shape but the Billard table is great,

Spent 3 nights with my wife and 3 of her family members at this great mountain resort. We'd rented the penthouse, and it was excellent. Modern, comfy and with all amenities. It occupies a full floor, 110 sqm, and has a huge balcony with mountain views. At about €100 per night for 5 people, I also think it's cheap considering the luxury of the suite! The only down-side was very spotty and slow internet, but this is an issue more endemic to the Philippines as a whole. Internet is just not up to western standards, and considering you're in the mountains...well. The restaurant on-site is not the best, but serves standard Filipino fare cheaply. About €4-8 for a main course. Only evening we ate there, we spent around €34 for 5 people. The staff was friendly and helpful. The best parts of the stay were the good swimming pool/bar area, and the 2 tours arranged by the hotel that we did. Sea tour and land tour. Almost a full day with private drivers/boats with great experiences. About €100 per tour for 5 people (negotiate price!). Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay at Tribal Hills, and would certainly go there again if vacationing around the White Beach area in Puerto Galera.

The hotel is located - as the name suggest - in the mountains. The view from the hotel is amazing but it is also a bit isolated. This, however, is compensated by their free shuttle to 3 different locations. The place is cozy, but the lighting in my room was terrible. The restaurant is decent and the staff are friendly.
