PhilippinesWe recently stayed at Villa Juan y Exequila in Anda, Bohol, and it was fantastic. The building is easy to find since it’s along the road. Just ask the bus driver or conductor to drop you off by the San Roque chapel. The villa is right next to the chapel.
This place is very generous with what they provide. Unlike many places that offer sachets, Villa Juan y Exequila provides body wash, shampoo, and conditioner in bottle pumps from Dove or Watson’s—a well-known and trusted brand, along with bathroom tissue or toilet paper. Additionally, they give you two free 500 ml mineral water bottles, two Nescafe black coffee sticks, two creamers, and a heater for boiling water anytime, which is perfect for a big coffee drinker like me. Each floor has a water dispenser with room temperature water available for free, allowing you to refill your water bottles before heading out. Their bathroom also has a hot and cold shower, which was very convenient.
You won’t go hungry here either, as there are numerous eateries and sari-sari stores in the vicinity. The market, bakery, beach, and water caves are all within walking distance. If you’re not in the mood to walk, there are motorbikes available for rent nearby, offering great convenience.
The value for money is exceptional. You can choose between a fan or air-conditioned room. Initially, we opted for a fan room, but after seeing how nice and clean it was, we decided to upgrade to an air-conditioned room. The receptionist was very accommodating and had initially offered the upgrade upon check-in.
Be sure to read the check-in guidelines as they require a ₱500 deposit for incidentals, which is understandable. They promptly returned our deposit after confirming the room was in good condition upon check-out.
We left a generous tip for the cleaners—$2 USD or ₱100—and they were very happy.
