Hotel Essencia Dumaguete has quickly become one of Dumaguete's esteemed hotels. Centrally located, built like a tall, proud building, uniform rooms at par with international standards with the fittings, design, and layout. We're glad to have tried their service several times over. Reserving a room wasn't too hard, you can do it over the phone, get a voucher via a third party travel site, or thru their official site.

Our experience wasn't too remarkable. Staff were bit lame, slow moving, and seem uninterested. Should we have brought a foreigner with us? It's just me and my mom. There were no other guests that time.
Body massage service area
Foot spa area. When our foot massage started, it was acceptable. Masseuses were chatting, whispering. Massage pressure wasn't taken noted as requested. |
