Thalatta Restaurant - Maluay

I came across this resort for a long look during my first trip to philippines after I was not convinced with all the other available resorts. it turned out to be a very happy catch and made me back during my last trip. the rooms are spacious and each make up half a cottage. the huts are arranged around their pool, which has a good size and usually is deep enough for the right swim (many other resorts have only a small deep section, while most of the pool is flat, that is much better here.) the resort does not have a beautiful beach to swim in the sea, but focuses on dip and snorkel. I haven't done anything of them and can't judge the quality, but was happy to simply swim in the pool that is regularly cleaned. the owner is a nice french. many of their guests seem to be French. all staff are very friendly and helpful so the atmosphere throughout the resort is really good. her restaurant is quite expensive, but they get very good quality. I enjoyed every meal there. for breakfast they get unlimited juice, coffee, fresh fruit and white bread with jam. In addition, they have an inclusive order for a la carte order that is enough for a full breakfast. all extra will be calculated separately. for me that was a good solution. I will make sure that they will stay here again in future travel.

The owner patrick ensures that his guests are cared for. he makes his round the morning during the breakfast to check that the guests must be visited. from the employees at the reception to the restaurant staff are all so helpful, polite and attentive. we fought to close the door on the first day in our room, and one of the workers saw us and she came to help. the breakfast is good. it is buffet style consist of freshly made juice, brot, house made jam, and fruits. it includes ordering an breakfast as long as they do not exceed their limit. it is 220 php the time of this review. we always had the omelet and they are all good. also the homemade yogurt was good. do not miss the banan gaps for their dessert during lunch or evening meal. the complex is well maintained. it is very peaceful and quiet. the only thing we thought was that we were missing were fans in the restaurant. it would help some days if there is no brise and maybe warned of flying. our room is spacious. the shower is large in opposite to the other hotel where they can hardly fit. my only problem in the bathroom is that the sink is high. it is not for short people as I thought. we had no chance to make the trip to apo island, so I can't talk about the diving staff, but I'm pretty sure they're great. we had to cancel because my man had an ear this day. thalatta between the well-maintained resort, the great staff and the room gives the best buck for her!

Still a very nice place to stay. we serve them an breakfast buffet and an breakfast meal of 220. I pray that how many resorts that offer coco juice or butong, it will not cost poor or a bite. they offer it for free when it grows in theirs and when they have to sell it around 100, they make sure that at least 50 goes to the farmer.

Really fantastic pool, 150php entry fee you need to buy something from the restaurant that is quite expensive average meal 400php, but they can only get some cheaper little meals if they are on the budget for 150.) pool is really nice would go again

Visiting Thalatta again after 3 years of pandemic restrictions. The place hasn't changed and still maintains it's amazing gardens, pool and view of Apo island.
