First of all let me just say that we did not stay at Giddys place, and that this review is based entirely on my experience of trying to book a room at the hotel. Having read the positive reviews on here I was hoping to book a room and a whale shark excursion through Giddys and contacted them via their... More

Stayed in this place recently after checking out the reviews here in Tripadvisor. Expectations sadly was not matched by reality... by a mile. Rooms were spartan, felt unclean. The floor on the second level where rooms were was unfinished concrete and you can see the pipes jutting out! Views from the rooms at the back overlook an unkempt neighborhood and... More

Selection for a place to stay proved to be a daunting task as this trip was meant to be a honeymoon for me and my wife. In addition, this was going to be our first time to visit the Philippines. As such, I wish for the place to be as comfortable as possible. Days were spent on the internet researching... More

This hotel is amazing! They cater to everyone from a back packer to a well seasoned hotel stayer. I have stayed in many 5 star resorts and the staff's friendliness doubles and shangri-la. It is rare to travel in asia and have staff want to help you to the point if they do not understand your exact request they have... More

We stayed at Giddy's as we wanted to see the whale sharks and the only other properties that were recommended were already booked up. We booked and paid online and arranged for our transport from the airport, whale shark tour and firefly tour all online. Everything was ready for us when we arrived. It is about 1 1/2 hours from...

It is definitely NOT a luxury property, but it is very clean and the staff is incredible! Each day the staff cleaned our snorkel equipment without us asking, they loaded the tricycles or van with our gear for us, they sent us to the whale shark interaction with towels/water/cookies, they made sure that we were put on the right boat,...

My friend and I stayed at Giddy's on a wonderful trip to Donsol. As there didn't seem to be too many option online, we booked ahead, for one of the backpacker rooms. I had thought it was 600php (Philippine pesos) for the room, but after we arrived, and after I stupidly signed the bill before thinking about it, it turned... More

We visited Giddy's on 20 to 25 January 2012 and very happy with the very professional services from the Resort Manager - Chito, Divemasters, Boat Crew, Drivers, Restaurant and Resort Staff! After reading some of the bad comments below, I was quite skeptical about this booking but when Chito came onboard and responded to my emails, I was assured that... More

I stayed there for two days and I really enjoyed it. The place is clean and tidy and the food is very nice. By the way, it took them just 10 minutes to serve the food so the problem showed in other reviews I guess is solved. They have a nice and deep pool, very friendly and helpful staff and... More
