Hotels near Libagon

Quiet and lots of plants. Located right on Sogod Bay. Great sunrise views in the morning. Friendy owners and staff.

Staying here was a wonderful experience, a relaxing environment with friendly hosts! My mother and myself visited the Philippines from the states, and booked a last minute stay here for a fews days. We felt all our travel stress melt away the second we arrived at the property, taking in the gorgeous views! The hosts were amazing and super accomodating, such a pleasure to chat with them. The outdoor space for guests is beautiful and thoughtfully designed. I highly recommend staying here, I'm keeping this place on my list for future a vacation!

the place is clean and very relaxing

The GMB Arte Hotel, “by Hilton”, is located about 2.5 hours south of Tacloban City and is accessed by a highway consisting of many hairpin turns and switchbacks that meanders through the picturesque Southern Leyte mountains and through many small villages and towns. The road, in some places can be treacherous but is undeniably a beautiful drive through the islands rainforests. GMB Arte is arguably the best hotel in the Sogod municipality. The rooms are clean, well maintained, functional but not necessarily spacious. The “by Hilton” part is sort of a joke. It is not part of the Hilton Hotel Chain, the person who owns the hotel is named Hilton. The hotel has a nice dining room, on the second floor, featuring, a good menu of mostly American dishes but with a few Filipino touches that may not appeal to everyone. The dining area is small, clean and well appointed. There is also a snack bar on the ground floor where one can purchase snacks and drinks to consume inside the stack bar or at one of many tables outside. I found the entire hotel staff to be helpful and courteous and everyone speaks english. However, for three days during my six day stay, there was no cook on duty and I had to look elsewhere for my meals. Besides Jollibee, a Filipino fast food franchise, I was not able to find an eating establishment that was clean and served the kinds of food I am accustomed to. There are a couple of nice restaurants in town and I was lucky enough to find the Caasa Aroma restaurant about a 15 minute tricycle ride from the hotel.

Staff went out of its way to accommodate

Our stay at Portofino Homestay was perfect. Mareeya was so accommodating and helpful, her advice was always on point. The food and breakfast were always great as well as the view, even on a rainy season day. Will definitely come back here if we have the chance!

Great room and great value. Excellent experience overall.
