Hayahay@Genesis

The Resort is located directly at the main beach strip of Alona Beach. The room was tidy and the bed comfortable. There are plenty of restaurants and bars next to the resort. The team is super friendly and helps you with everything you need to know. Since it is the main area there is live music everyday until 23:00 and on Friday and Saturday is goes longer in the night. The last 3 minutes to resort you need to walk along the Beach Strip so I recommend a backpack. You can have breakfast / lunch / dinner at the Hayahay restaurant while looking at the ocean just a few meters away. I just had breakfast there which I can recommend (lunch and dinner menus I dont know).

Hayahay restaurant was the best place to sit down and chill every evening with amazing cocktails, cold beers and amazing fresh seafood cooked to order. Service is friendly and welcoming and beach front means you can watch the sunset and the world go by. Shout-out to Gerlyn!!

Needs Major Improvements - Poor Value for a "Resort" HotelWhile next to the beach, this hotel fell short on basic comfort, maintenance, and cleanliness.Noise & Poor Sleep: Walls are thin—you can hear guests next door and footsteps in the hall. The bed is hard, and the provided "blanket" is just a thin sheet. Music is loud but thankfully stops at night.Maintenance & Cleanliness Issues: The shower head sprayed water everywhere. The soap dispenser was broken, and a drinking cup was dirty. Basic toiletries were not provided.Inconvenience: Although beachfront, access requires a long walk from the main road.Dated Room: The room felt rather old and worn.For the price, the lack of working amenities and poor sleep quality make it difficult to recommend.

The food was absolutely awful, and the service was terrible. They brought the food properly, then immediately took away the condiments – is this the only condiment this restaurant offers? It's supposed to be Thai fried chicken, but it's just ordinary fried chicken, worse than a 20p fried chicken from a street vendor. It's awful.

The room is spacious but bed was not that comfy. The bidet and shower head need to be replaced, because they are old and moldy. There was no hot water in the shower too. Location is very good - beach front.

Avoid this Restaurant. Sorry, but this kitchen can not cook. We did order yesterday several food. Due to a very windy day because of a Thyphoon it was almost empty. Yet we had to wait 40min for the food. And the food was aweful! You would expect we have been starving and eating anything semi decent, but this was all not nice. Pizza most likely deeprozen from a supermarket, I can buy it anywhere more decent. Spaghetti Carbonara watery, Chop Suey vinegar taste. The Pat Thai meal was a overcooked "thing" not eatable. The only thing they managed somehow OK was the Schnitzel and at least the fries. This all for a big price of over 3'300 Pesos. Even when we told them, the food was not nice, they wanted to charge us for Take-Away, bcos we wanted at least to give it to some street kids. So we packed everything in plastic bags and left. No sorry, nothing. Well that was the first and last time. The worst experience in the Philippines so far.

WARNING DONT BOOK we booked a room that pic clearly showed ocean view through window but when we arrived were told Oh not this Hayahay go to the other. We did to be put in a small room out the back. Trip Customer Services contacted them but no luck. I’m a dog lover but when there are 5 dogs laying in the bar, reception, stairwell for you to trip over, dining tables hassling diners I say no. So many better places for less money. DO NOT RISK IT NEGATIVE 5 STARS.

For the price, the rooms are nice, spacious, and clean. The bed foam might not be the most comfortable for a longer stay, but it’s manageable. Staff can be a bit hard to find at times, but when you do, they are very accommodating and have a pleasing personality. Food Review The food, however, needs improvement. We found it too pricey for what’s offered. We ordered the Filipino breakfast which came with instant coffee, instant orange juice, a good serving of garlic fried rice, and eggs. The corned beef was very low quality and should be improved, while the longganisa was acceptable but the serving size was small. Considering the price, there are definitely better options elsewhere. On the positive side, the location is excellent with many establishments easily accessible.
