Ahhh... Villa Caemilla... Where do I start?
This spot is not only a wonderful place to stay, but a beautiful experience overall.
The hotel... Not as big as other corporate hotels with concrete pillars and a huge metallic logo on the doors. Villa Caemilla is just the right size, quaint and clean - just perfect for me. Our room was cozy, the lobby was well-kept and welcoming. Our room was on the main floor and a few seconds to the lobby and the beach. The layout of the hotel is convinient and well-planned.
The food... Breakfast was delicious. I had the chorizo with egg, also tried the tapa with egg. They serve good coffee - Illy! But my favorite drink is the Morning Drink (lemon, ginger and honey), so soothing to the throat and a nice wake up drink while watching the sun rise. For dinner, I had sisig and the quinoa salad. Delicious!
The service... Impeccable. Everyone - and I mean everyone - was polite and friendly. One member of their staff in particular, Ram, came on his day off or a time he wasn't scheduled to work (he wasn't in uniform and looked like he just woke up) to make sure we had a ride to the terminal. Thanks Ram!
Let me also mention that you get a free water bottle - not the cheap kind - as a souvenir and as a convinient refill bottle for drinking water at hotel. Just show up at the bar and give them your bottle for drinking water. No need to buy a bunch of plastic water bottles! Genius.
The hotel is in Station 3. If you like peace and quiet, no loud noise, just enough people walking by without disrupting your view - you got it! A little far from Station 2, where most of the action is, D'Mall, food options, etc. but that doesn't deserve a star off.
I highly recommend Villa Caemilla and I thank the staff for such our splendid stay.
