Had a fantastic stay here at this property, The location with the fantastic view is ofcourse the highlight going down to the beach is only 5mins , coming back with motorbike (habal-habal) took 2mins with 25peso. Very Responsive in terms of communication.The family really took care of us also offered us a free pick up in sabang market at arrival. My room was beautiful and quiet room indeed.

Night mare at dream hill
This place is a nightmare false advertising to the max it's a 15 mins walk to the peir from the apartment not 6 mins it would take 20 to 30 to walk back. I paid for deluxe apartment with kitchen when I arrived they told me deluxe don't have a kitchen but it clearly stated in that add when I booked it had kitchen. Bar closed at 8pm I had to beg for water at 10 pm.no food available. Do your self a big favour and give this place a wide birth . I stayed 1 night and paid for 7 in may 2018 that's how bad it is.

Well you were already angry when you arrived with your motorbike. You checked in at your deluxe apartment WITH kitchen. Do not know what is your problem..surely you were not at the right destination..

Poor service
The location of the hotel is too far from White Beach, so don’t stay here if you want to go to White Beach. You will just spend too much on your tricycle/ jeepney rides. It doesn’t say that the place was really on the topmost part of the hill. It was really steep going up and down to get a ride to the city center or beach. The rooms don’t have proper air conditioning, we got two rooms. The owner doesn’t want us to use it all throughout the night, he was giving us instructions to turn it off at night before we sleep. When we asked for extra blankets, the owner asked why we need them, he told us that we might get burned if the aircons were turned on the whole night, then they wanted to charge us 500 pesos for two extra blankets. I am a frequest visitor of Puerto Galera and this is the first time I got so disappointed with a hotel service. Before checking out at 12nn, they even turned off the electricity in our rooms at 1030am. We stayed here for two nights. I will never go back to this condotel again. We were so uncomfortable because the beddings were also smelly, like they didn’t wash them well.

Dear guest Please reserve room at the destination you like to be at. We can not move our place to White beach that easy. It is the Oromeco power company that provide your power. We can not control the grid of Philippines. Better luck next time. Cheers alf

Room with a Seaview balcony
Friendly staff, we had a pleasant stay. Family business so everything you name it, they will make it exclusively for you. Love to watch sunset in the Big Balcony. Great food..... done by Nicole. Only complaint is the stiff hill road are very slippery when wet!

Quiet, friendly place with an awesome view
I stayed at Deam Condo for a week. Loved it. Very quiet and private place run by Alf and family. If you have a chance, have a beer with Alf at sunset. He has a lifetime of amazing stories. Internet was intermittent in my room, so had to use my hotspot. Power was also a problem... as it is in all of Sabang. My only complaints. You won't get great coffee or food here, but the beer is cold and this is one of the best places to enjoy a subset beer.

Not As Advertised
Hotel.com listing has coffee in common area---- they charged $1.20 for instant. Listing has pool----half full hot tub sized. Listing has full service spa ----none. Listing has wifi---- works 10% of the time. Listing has stovetop and utensils ---- none. This was a room not a condo. They cleaned the room once in 6 days. Listing says 5 minute walk to the pier------- it is very steep hill---- only a serious athlete could do it in 5 minutes.

scenic location
Very good 3 night stay. Owner Alf was very hospitable and certainly made me feel very much at home all the time. The view of the ocean and sunset from my room was spectacular. Because the hotel is located on a steep hill and access to town is only by motorcycle, would probably not be good for someone wanting to be closer and easier access to town. Overall, my stay there was great!

What a Nice Place
I had never travel to the Philippines before and only stayed a few place in my travel while on this trip. I found the place to be over very pleasing and clean. It’s located on top of the hill away from all of the noise of the town area but only a 5-10 min walk. The view is awesome since it overlooks the island just this is worth any price. The Staff is awesome and the owner makes you feel like a family member. I would recommend this place to and only traveling or staying in Puerto Galera is a hidden treasure.

All in all we loved it and would stay there again, the only negative thing I can say is that the beds were hard and not very comfy, that is the only drawback about the hotel

Disappointment
There were several choices in Puerto Galera, but we booked with dream hills condo because of the rave reviews that the owner received on the scuba diving lessons he provides to the guest. After booking it, I made an overseas call to owner, Alf, 2 months before we arrived to advice of our stay & the desire for scuba diving lessons. I then told him that we wanted to change the # of people from 4 people to 6 & was to pay the additional people when we get there. He then said that the only room that would accommodate us comfortably would be the big suit @ 861 sq ft bec the 2 bedroom condo was only 699 sq feet & will be too small. We were all very excited as it seems to be a good size accommodation. When we got to Batangas, I called Alf, the owner & he informed me that HE FORGOT & IS HEADING TO Manila for business, needless to say, the disappointment starts. WE WERE NOT INFORMED THAT The 861 sq foot suite was on a steep decline that it was hard to get to & back, with my bad back had to settle on the 699 sq ft suite. Though the views were gorgeous getting to town was very hard as it’s only though motorcycles or going down some slippery steps. Had to do that several times to eat & we did get scuba diving lessons in the town proper. The only saving grace on this stay was that the 2 ladies made our stay very comfortable, i gave it 1 star because of the 2 ladies otherwise would have been 0. Personally, would NOT recommend dream hills condo.I know the ladies tried very hard but still...

Great place incredible ocean views
This is a family owned small hotel-only a few units. The apartments are large, with full kitchen and cooking facilities. The place sits up on the hill so the ocean views are incredible! The staff is super friendly and accommodating. They also will make food for you if you like and karaoke is complimentary. They will also pick you up from the boat, you just need to let them know what time you will be there. Its a short hike to a beautiful private beach below. If you plan on going down to the other beaches or shopping, you should rent a scooter or motorcycle. They will also accommodate you with this. It was a great experience..we were thrilled!

Gorgeous View, Good Accomodations, Great Guy...
The views will take your breath away, the accommodations are great and clean..especially great for families...the owner is a really great guy who will take care of you and make you feel at home...no nonsense check-ins..just show up grab the key and begin enjoying. Have time for a great conversation...join the owner in the restaurant / bar for a meal, a beer, and some great talks....one of the better rental experiences of my life...will definitely return when we get a chance. The owner is even kind enough to get you and or drop you off of the pier in his van. He has good info on places to visit around the island...what more could you ask for?!

アクセスが悪い
サバンの中心から歩きはきつい。山道を３０分くらいかかる。レンタルバイク必須。お湯がちょろちょろしかでない。閉鎖感があり、滞在しているとき憂鬱になった。部屋も古くて適正価格の３倍以上に感じれた。二度ととまりません。

Great hotel with amazing view and good service
Hotel was high up hill with amazingly beautiful view to sabang beach and sea. Owner with his family and nice friends was great relaxed service, company and help. Hotel feeld like another home to me, i loved it. Owner Alf with his family organized great island hopping one day to all guest who wanted to join. Great beach food (grilled chicken and pork, makaroni salad with fruits, beer, beer, beer and more BROWN BEER :D sodas and water ) You can swim, snorkle and scuba dive with the family. Also was several other trip possibilities. Rooms were vide and open plan with nice detailed desing. Bar area was big and vide. You can sit there alone or join others. There was couple different sauna and massage possibilities but we didnt try. Hotel has Wifi on bar area but its slow. I recommend this hotel if you enjoy relaxed feeling, great company, good service and BROWN BEER :D (SMB no apples or light) If you dont want to walk or use motorbikes then the hill can be difficult.

경치는 좋으나 위치.시설은..
가족과 삼일을 지내는 동안 경치에 매료되고 가족같은 직원들로 만족 했으나 접근성이나 시설때문에 고생했음 삼일모두 전기가 오프되고 호텔스닷컴에서 본 사진과 숙소사진이 틀렸음 나름 공사후 조감도라 해야하나 ! 지금은 하나의 건물밖에 없음 사기 당한듯하여 첨엔 불쾌했음

경치가 좋아서 다시 묵었는데...에어컨이 안좋아 더웠음. 몇개의 방중에 제일 안좋은 방이었던듯. 혼자가서 그런가봄. 어쨋든 아침에 일어나 커피한잔하며 발코니에서 사방비치 바라다보는 그맛에 다시 숙박했고 역시 아침마다 만족. 시설은 별로.
