The rooms, while dated, offer you everything you would need for your stay. The attached restaurant was great as well. Most importantly, the air conditioners WORK. And that's important here in the Philippines, especially for guests like us who aren't used to incredible humidity all the time. The one-time use WiFi access codes for each individual device is a little much, especially with todays technology, but it's not a huge deal. The water in our bathroom (both sink and shower) also didn't get very hot. The tiny parking lot is kind of a nightmare. We had a driver so we didn't have to deal with parking, but can only imagine our crazy it would have been if we did have our own car. All in all, we enjoyed our stay at the Rosevenil and would definitely recommend it.

What a wonderful stay we had at this 4-star hotel! Not only is it beautifully designed (not…read moreostentatious), but our room had a firm but comfortable king bed, spacious open closet with shelving (instead of drawers), mini refrigerator, hot pot and beverage paraphernalia. The bath's shower had a handheld spray head in addition to the overhead rainshower. I never expected there to be a 2-sided round mirror on adjustable arm, so I was pleasantly surprised. Blow dryer is provided (I had brought my own travel dryer and didn't need to use it for once), as well as steam iron & ironing board. The room has plenty of outlets to charge all devices, and a good sized TV. The pool area is lovely, and the water is very warm with only a touch of chlorine. I think the depth is only 3 feet at both ends, so don't expect to really swim, unless you're a kiddo. Shower room has two stalls with body wash and shampoo provided. But for me personally, the best feature of Summit Hotel Tacloban is the restaurant for breakfast buffet, and dinner, and the lobby lounge's potato lunch bar. What a spread! It beats the luxury hotel's breakfast buffet we have enjoyed in Quezon City, and costs less, too! It pleases me to see how well trained and refined the wait staff is. So you can imagine how it bothered me to see this morning a big family of Balikbayans come to the buffet in their pj's! Their behavior in the Summit is more acceptable for a 2-star establishment in the US that provides free breakfast. I hope the Summit maintains well their building and service. Lord willing, we will plan to stay there again the next time we are privileged to visit Leyte.

Due to the storm the hotel was booked and my room was rented out even though I reserved it, but luckily they upgrade my room for one night. I felt like a queen in that room. Even though I saw a lot of hair in the bathroom, under the bed sheet and on the bedroom floor, even when they transfer me to my original room there was still hair. Guess they were in a hurry. The staff was nice and receptionists were very accommodating especially when I asked for directions. There was a Jollibee and few sarisari store nearby with transportation around. Over all I can say that my stay was really nice.

There location is close to the main road and has easy access to local transportation, but most areas of require a jeep ride. The compound has a fair amount of parking spaces available, and free WiFi is available as well. There are three rooms available: single rooms are quite tiny and should suffice for a few nights stay with anything longer proving to eat up on the remaining space within the room; twin or queen sized bed rooms are a bit larger. They both feature private baths and have shared living areas. The deluxe suite room however is like four smaller rooms rolled into one, with its own living area with a refrigerator, and a spacious room within and an appropriately sized bath. All rooms are contemporary and have flat screen LCD TV's.

We got a room facing the ocean, which provided us with a gorgeous view as well as allowed me to run on the beach every morning. I'm not sure how the hotel was before it was renovated after Yolanda, but it is very nice now. Our room was large, even for US standards, had a flat screen TV, and the bathroom was nice and roomy. The water pressure was good and had nice, steady, warm water available during showers -- something I have come to find as a luxury in the Philippines when not in major cities. The pool area, restaurant, and lobby are definitely instagram worthy and my extended family enjoyed spending the day with us there. There is a 500 php fee per guest not staying at the hotel to use the pool. Breakfast buffet was 599 php and dinner buffet was 699 php per person if not included in the hotel price. I loved breakfast, but for me, dinner was lacking and not worth the price. However, there is a show offered during the weekend dinners include fire dancers, which my family loved. Everything looked clean and all workers were helpful. They do utilize OJTs though, which I feel like is kind of an abusive system in itself, but that's for another time -- minus one star for that. The one hour massage I received here was just okay and would not be acceptable if I received it in the US, but for about $15 dollars, what can you expect? That's about how much I thought it was worth. Otherwise, I enjoyed my stay here wholly.

Just the facts: entrance = 350 pesos + 50 for the corkage fee per head total = 400 and more or less we were 75 heads they gave 15% discount for a group discount of more than 30 people, it is still to high on my opinion. Slides and children's water park - they start at 10:30am and only do 1 slide at a time 30 minute each . There reason is the equipment will only do one. (Why open a park when you can only run one). In my opinion it's a rip off. What if you are all adults and want the big slide. Fyi they stop running at 4:30pm. Food has corkage fee , lechon has corkage fee and you cannot bring water or any drinks or you will also be charge a fee. The soft drink as of this review is 77 pesos. The tuba was also expensive. The restroom was decent however there was no soap to wash your hands . The employees also uses the restrooms , so I wonder if they even wash hands with soap. No toilet papers and no trash bins inside the rest rooms. The positive side is the place outside looks well maintained a lot of opportunity to take pictures. The staff is good at getting your needs like plates , utensils and drinks ( service water). Just a suggestion there should be two people watching the slide to monitor down below and up on the deck.
