Villa Corrales Homestay

For the price, the rooms were clean and had air conditioning, a bathroom, and hot water. The shared kitchen beside the pool is handy, though it didn’t seem to get used or cleaned often. It’s decently priced, but I didn’t sleep well either night. On the first night, an alarm inside the hotel went off every 30 minutes in the middle of the night. Maybe it was a fire alarm or warning, I’m not sure. The next night, guests in the shared villa area had a big party and sang until 2:30 am. There may be rooms at the back, away from the karaoke party room, but I don’t know.

Booked through agoda and loved this place. It’s really budget friendly, about a 5-minute drive from benoni port, and has a pool my family enjoyed. You can use the kitchen too. Highly recommended if you’re looking for an affordable stay.

We stayed for 3 days and 2 nights, and it was good value for the money. Our room could sleep up to eight people and had a refrigerator and shower room. There was also a separate kitchen, bathroom, CR, and a swimming pool for relaxing at the hotel.

We travel as a family and always look at parking and whether a place welcomes pets. Villa Corrales has two parking spaces, one near the dormitories and bamboo houses and another outside the property. My dad wasn’t comfortable with the outside parking and was in a bad mood when we arrived and saw the setup. The owner was VERY considerate and accommodating, though, and took the initiative to make a comfortable space for us to park near the dormitories. Thank you for that, good sir! I work online and badly needed steady Wi-Fi. The connection here was intermittent, like across the whole island, and it wasn’t good in our room. The bandwidth couldn’t meet what I need for work, so I had to sit in the lobby to get a better connection. If you’re bringing work, have your data connection ready and registered. Data worked much better except during blackouts. The whole island can lose power, and even a few minutes without a connection affects work. During blackouts, data connections are out too. We had no trouble with the pet friendliness. They have a friendly cat roaming around, not territorial so far. As fur parents, it’s our job to clean up after our pets, so bring cages, a litter box, and trash bags. The room and amenities were so-so. If you’re used to 5-star places and have high standards, this probably isn’t for you. It suits tourists who aren’t picky and just need somewhere to sleep. Despite the convenience hiccups, our stay was satisfactory, and we were glad the owner and service crew were so hospitable.
