It was indeed a great experienced staying at Hotel Essencia. The food was very good. The staffs were so friendly, accommodating and helpful.
Actually everything was good except for the water heater. I don't know if there was a switch or something. I was always in a hurry so I didn't get the chance to ask for assistance. I love taking a bath with warm water. Anyway next time I'll ask for assistance.

One of the things we especially enjoyed was the property’s convenient location near the boulevard, which made it easy to take relaxing morning walks and enjoy the waterfront atmosphere.
The property is showing its age and could benefit from some updating and a deeper level of cleaning. The overall appearance feels somewhat tired and dated, and the guest rooms are quite dark. A few of the light fixtures were not working during our stay, which added to the impression that the rooms could use some refreshing and maintenance.

Near Rizal Boulevard; nice and safe area. All The hotel staff were so helpful, respectful and very accomodating. We super enjoyed Dumaguete and Siquijor, big revelation. Very safe we walked at night esp at Rizal Boulevard. Great food, excellent places (Sansrival Bistro, Honeycomb Bar, Why Not Disco, Rizal Blvd.)
A Pool and gym would be more appreciated altho the amount we paid was very Good value.

The location and spacious room
The female cleaners sometimes come across as unfriendly. I understand that their work can be physically demanding, especially when cleaning many rooms throughout the day, and they may also be dealing with personal stress or simply having a difficult day.
However, since housekeeping staff play an essential role in maintaining the comfort and cleanliness of the hotel, I believe it is important that guests also feel welcomed and treated warmly during interactions with them. Their work is just as valuable and important as that of any other employee in the hotel, and positive communication with guests helps create a better overall experience.
I hope this feedback can be taken constructively and used to encourage a more friendly and welcoming atmosphere among all staff members.

It was a central location to everything, easy walk to mall and several shops. The staff was extremely friendly and the restaurant food was great.
I didn’t like the unreliable internet or the lack of hot water. It was always a surprise when taking a shower, you never know what you’re getting.
Thank you for your information!
