Overall we had a mediocre experience in most aspects!
The Nustar Resort claims to be 5 Star but it is not!
The complex is a big construction site, your „city view“ room is actually a construction view.
The Nustar Resort itself has no facilities, their small pool is under construction, no restaurant, no club lounge, you have to use the facilities of the sister Fili Resort, a 4 star place next door mainly frequented by people visiting the huge casino.
Breakfast at the Fili Cafe was mediocre, overrun with people, they were out of glasses, poor staff, long waiting times for a coffee, huge buffet but mostly poor food quality and messy overall. It has the atmosphere of a university canteen.
Larger pool behind the hotel was surrounded by uglyness, construction site, generators, back of the house, the small pool facing the ocean is pretty worn down, only few sun beds, the infinity edge of the pool was framed by ugly plastic plants, more construction and ugly port view …
Fili‘s club lounge also with zero atmosphere, short service hours, very limited food and drink for the afternoon tea, poor breakfast service, out of juice, out of cups etc….the evening service was ok, the mixed drinks were actually good.
The room was ok, decent, what you would expect for the price, not more not less, our toilet broke so we had to change rooms.
Butler service non existance, staff overall rather clueless, slow and inefficient.
Unless you are coming for the gambling, don‘t book the Nustar Resort, it does not live up to its 5 star promise at all, it should have been the „grand finale of our Philippine trip but ended up being one of the most disappointing and annoying hotel experiences ever.
