Hof Gorei Beach Resort

Hof Gorei Beach Resort

8/10 Good
"Upon arrival we were greeted by at our car by helper’s to bring belongings up to the main house/ office. They were doing upgrades since pics had been posted. And concrete work on a drive area. The decent down to beach front is about 70 to 80 steep steps and inclines. There are 6 main huts there on the beach. Air-con and water heater in each. They are maintained and clean. You have a person assigned to you at the time you arrive to help with all your needs taking stuff down,foods,drinks. Our helper was Jeremy he was great. Make sure you tip them well. If they do great. They do have jet ski there to rent at 6500 per hour. You can also just do half hour as I was told. The food was pricey, and for the most it was pretty good. You also will be charged for your room fridge. So for our 3 night stay we had a bill of bit over 8k pesos. We did eat every meal there 3 times a day. The atmosphere there I would describe as native magical. You see fishing boats and people will come to sell pearls off and on. They do you a spring pool that needs some TLC the walls need to be brushed not bad. They have some trip hazards that need to be addressed like handrail going down the main steps. Also stepping stone that are sinking. But still not a bad pool. On the other side of the pool are some beautiful peacocks. It is great place will go again some day."
