Staff is super-friendly and helpful, and food is great. Owner even invited us to a party at his home on Christmas eve! My fiancée and I had a wonderful time.

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.

good shuttle service

good shuttle service

caring staff

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 cant blame them of the technical problem.. air-con was shutting down due to the wind that caused electrical problem. But theyre 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!!!

Nice place to get away. Scenery from room breath taking. Views of ocean and mountains.

Although not a beach front hotel, we enjoyed our stay, staff are very friendly, helpful and approachable. We love the hilltop environment even though it rained the 2 nights 3 days . We also love the shuttle service which was always readily available when needed. Will highly recommend to family and friends.

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

hotel rooms are clean.staff are accomodating and courteous.

It was amazing view. Great staff amazing spot. The food was Great ! the hotel helps you whatever you need. I loved it here. Great price the shuttle is great.

The hotel is clean and comfrable. With amazing 360 views of the sea and the mountains. In what was a rather chaotic trip this hotel was the perfect refuge.

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...its too high to climb but just use the free shuttle and its ok.....the wi if is very weak and difficult to find A.T.M here but enjoy the simple life for once.

Hotel is away from the busy area, not too far from the beach and there is a very good transport service to go to the beach (I don't think you would want to stay at the beach area). They have the best spot and overviewing the whole area as it's up top a mountain. Definitely a wow effect as soon as you come out of your very own balcony! if you are looking for a total relaxation this is definitely the hotel for you!

very nice experience, nice quit location on a hill, nice view, a bit far from the beaches, but the resort provide us a ride each time we decided to go to white beach or others location , the food is good, we rent 2 motorbikes for the day at around 750 pesos each, that include the gas tank fill-up.

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.

We enjoyed the 3 nights we stayed at Tribal Hills. We had a room with a wonderful view of the mountains. As far as Im concerned this is the nicest getaway for the entire area. Access to White Beach for activities was very convenient as we were provided with 2 numbers of the drivers who would be able to transport us when we wanted to go and come back. I would definitely stay here again if I come back to the area !

Everyone and everything about this hotel were great. Very laid back and relaxing environment.

Fantastic get away place to stay really enjoyed and would book again .. Hotel is on what feels like a mountain side but its unique and staff are happy to drive thou anywhere . Try the Free Waterfalls walk from the hotel but cover up and wear trainers or sensible footwear.. I went off in rubber flip flops totally unsuitable. And when I requested first aid back at the hotel there was no support or band aid available. If like me European then cover up with sun screen ..White Beach is an amazing place .. My second visit , very easy access from Manila and probably better than Borocay plus closer

Stayed for a few nights with family. Hotel restaurant was surprisingly good for breakfast and dinner. Nice relaxing escape with nice situation and scenery. Service could have been better but I suspect this was a result of the owners being away. Rooms were tidy enough but not cleaned daily as standard. Very good shuttle service to local beach and White Beach. Personally, I thought White Beach was quite a tragic and depressing place so I was glad that Teibal Hills was sufficiently far away that I didn't have to go there more than twice. Take some mosquito repellant for your balcony at night. Overall, it's good value for money and a nice place to have a relax with your family up in the hills.

Initial reticence about being a little way from the beach evaporated as soon as we entered our wonderful penthouse room. We felt in a world of our own, with the most magnificent tropical forest view in one direction and azure waters in the other. We were not completely removed from the sound of the village below but upon our return home we actually missed the daily wake-up call from the roosters! The staff were so humble and welcoming, as well as being disciplined in their daily tasks. The owners Maying and Owen were delightfully engaging and generous with their local knowledge. The ready availability of transport down to the beach, town or port (upon departure) was fantastic.

Free shuttles to and from hotel to White Beach and more. Don't pay for a cab from the ferry port and call the hotel. The employees went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable, and went to extreme lengths to make sure I got to the ferry on time and even argued with ticket office for my ticket refund. The room is dark, faint odour, uncomfortable, but big. I would have left a horrible review if it weren't for the amazing views (hotel is literally on a hill) and the amazing people that made my trip. Puerto Galera in general is such a beautiful place with great activities.

We got to White Beach in a heavy rainy day. It's quite far from the White Beach port to the White Beach. The street is very terrible and small. Two cars can't go oppositely. Tribal Hill provides a free shuttle to take customers to the beach and back. But, we should contact them first. So, most of the time, we move by tricycle. It's very important that you should always bargain with the tricycle or taxi drivers, there. The beach sight is interesting in daytime, but in nighttime, there is nothing. Just stay in the resort.
