Great at reasonable price.

Positives: very close to beach.Not so positives: property had two buildings and swimming pool was only available for those in the new building; beds were not made every day; got room rate including breakfast but it was plain with no choice and would have preferred no breakfast but to buy it at one of the restaurants near the beach which had better choice at lower cost; rated as 3 star on website but nowhere near as good as other 3 star properties Ive stayed in, would rate it as 2 star.Local area: one minutes walk to beach; no ATMs in White Beach and bars/restaurants do not take credit cards so take plenty of cash or be ready to take a tricycle taxi to the next town if you need cash

Not good at all.

It is affordable, the rooms are great for the price, and the location is prime. We stayed in the newly built building that extends the footprint of the Sea Jewel property. The only major difference is it has a pool. On the downside, the service was subpar, they never cleaned our rooms, and the service was extremely slow in their restaurant. They also repeatedly forgot what we ordered. Am I glad we stayed there? Yes. Would I stay there again? No.

The staff are very friendly unlike others in philippines which can be strict. The breakfast was good, decent hot shower and generator when power goes off, unlike other hotels at beaches. Its a simple clean quiet room with decent bed, some beds in hotels nearby have small matresses. Dont need to purchase the breakfast online cost more and can easily book with them cheaper. But for around $25 off season good deal.

The hotel is nice, the staff, however, is a different story. Overall the place is okay.

The hotel place is very convenient, facilities is good and the room is clean, the staff is approachable but everything u need had charged.

A very convenient and relatively quiet location near the beach. It was a bit crowded this trip, but there are alternative restaurants nearby, so no real problem.

Clean and quiet, the hotel was close to the action on White Beach, but not in the middle of the noise. Being August, the many vendors nearby were a little pesky, but the hotel itself was really lovely, and well-priced for budget-conscious travellers.

Family owned business. very nice people. Excellent service. Short walk to the beach, the same as every other hotel on White Beach.

Rooms are clean with the basic amenities. Staffs are accommodating. You can request for assistance with your ferry tickets so there is no need to line up... Restaurant meals have big servings good for 2 pax per order except for breakfast.

Great price for this clean but simple hotel. Small rooms. Near the beach lots of restaurants and great diving.

Booked hotel online which was fine. All went well until upon my arrival at the hotel...I found that the room made available to me (room 101) was right next to the reception desk with the bedroom door being less than 12 inches from the reception desk and chairs which was on the verge of obstructing me from entering and exiting the room. Luckily the door opened inwards and not outwards. To make matters worse the dining area was also just outside the bedroom door... you can imagine the noise levels when busy and not to mention other diners getting a full view of the room when I decided to enter or exit. I asked if I could change to another room but was told this was the only room available. Wish I had taken a photo. My advice to 'Sea Jewel' please use room 101 as a staff room or an office but 'NOT' as a guest room. Low rating given simply because of the room location.
