Fridays Puerto Galera Beach Resort

Lovely quiet resort with luxurious rooms and a great little coral reef for snorkelling right off the beach. The staff are really helpful and welcoming. At times you can feel like the only people at the resort. The resort also has a decent swimming pool and restaurant that actually serves up a pretty good pizza (as well as generously sized traditional Filipino breakfasts and other food a drink). The hotel offers a free transfer from/to Muelle Port on check-in/check-out (phone to let them know when you need it). The only negative is that if you don't like Snorkelling or swimming in the pool then there's very little else on offer. Good enough for us though.

Great resort in front of of the Coral Garden, but you can’t swim there directly as you would have to cross boat lanes. Food is fine, activities were excellent. We really appreciate the use of speedboats as getting too and from dive and snorkeling areas are fast and convenient. Pretty quiet and serene as long as you’re not with big groups as the resort is isolated in its own island. Some deterioration in the facilities that need maintenance and the bed was uncomfortable, I’ve asked them to remove the bed toppers. But overall an excellent experience with my family.

We were supposed to have a wedding here in Fridays but we had a funeral and had to cancel the date for our wedding. We asked if we could reschedule it but they wouldn't let us reschedule it. They never sent a cancellation policy that was sent to us on our email. The resort photoshopped an attachment of cancellation policy that was not even there in my email and sent it to the bank. They really did us dirty and we cant let other people get scammed by this resort. Attached photos are the invoices that we never even signed. They dont also wanna do a refund for the rooms that were never used for our guests. Our coordinator Joey Bool Gutierrez proposed that he would sell the rooms that we paid for, for lower price and we would get some money back from it. We never recieved any, attached are the screenshot message of our designer Joshua Miranda, that he needs the money for the things he made for wedding designs but the fact that our coordinator put his name on the guests that will be paying for the rooms is crazy to us. He needs the money for the things he purchased but could still pay for the room of Fridays resort? I would suggest thinking of another resort to book than this hotel. The resort refunded 0 money from this event and clearly just took 293, 280.00 pesos and provided 0 service for us. This is a crazy situation and i hope for every people to see this to not book this hotel.
