New affordable place in Tagbilaran
When I discovered this little hotel it was almost newly opened. Everything was new and fresh. It's located just a 3-5 min from the airport and 10-15 from Tagbilaran City with tricycle. The AC was not the modern silent type but still it was working reasonable well since the unit was brand new. WiFi was only available in the lobby. A simple but still good breakfast was included in the price. It's not a fancy place but still good and definitely worth the money.

Good value for the money
Arabelle Suites is located 5 min with tricycle from Tagbilaran airport and 8-10 min from Tagbilaran city. Big and clean rooms with modern AC which is both silent and easy to adjust the temperature with. Breakfast is included in the little restaurant inside the hotel. You can choose between Filipino and Western style breakfasts. They also have a pool where you can take your swim. Lately when I tried to get a room there they always been fully booked so obviously you should book in advance. The staff is very helpful and friendly although it can be some waiting time in the restaurant for the breakfast. At those occasions there have been trainees working there so at the same time it is understandable. The free WiFi was only available in the common areas.

CocoHuts Inn has a good location, only 5 min with motorcycle from the pier. The place has the most wonderful view from the resto and some of the cottages. The breakfast was complimentary. Four options available: Fried rice, noodles, pancakes or toast. Tea or coffee and fruits were included. But beware! If you order coffee you will end up with 3 in 1, which is coffee, creamer and sugar mixed with boiling water. If you like that you will be fine. But for me who want black coffee with fresh milk the 3 in 1 is undrinkable.
The room was clean and the staff was very helpful with everything. The AC was the modern silent type. WiFi was only available in the resto and only available when the electricity was on. The electricity was only available in the afternoon and at night time. There was a TV but with no TV-signal, so they provided DVD:s to play in the DVD player instead. There were some interruptions of the power and water. But hey! This is a remote island far out in the Jawa sea after all. If you can't cope with this, then you might consider going to Bali instead. Wonderful barbecued fresh fish
In the evenings and depending on the catch of the day, they served wonderful barbecued fresh fish in the resto. The environment which is surrounding the CocoHuts Inn and the view from the resto was really something you could die for. So if you ever will come to Karimun, then I recommend this place!

Bring the fucking shit back to where it belongs! Days passes, don't waste them... Review of Amore Cafe (Karimun Jawa, Indonesia) Review of Syailendra Hotel (Jepara, Indonesia) Much more than I expected
When I booked the hotel in Jepara I just I went for one with a good price. It also looked good in the pictures at booking.com. But I was really positively surprised! Room was big, nice and clean. The room had a modern and very quiet AC. WiFi was free of charge and was working everywhere in the hotel, even in the room. Nice styling in the room and with additional lamps beside the bed.
The breakfast buffet was really good
A breakfast buffet was included. Nice buffet with Indonesian food and even fresh milk for the coffee! The restaurant had a delicious à la carte restaurant with both western and Indonesian dishes. Even their café latte is recommended. So the conclusion is that Syailendra hotel exceeded my expectations by far and can be recommended to anyone. The location is just a few minutes with motorcycle from the city centre of Jepara.

Bring the fucking shit back to where it belongs! Days passes, don't waste them... Review of Amore Cafe (Karimun Jawa, Indonesia) Review of CocoHuts Inn (Karimun Jawa, Indonesia) Great value at Pinoy Pamilya
It's a great value hotel. Big clean room with wooden floor and bathroom in light beige marble. The AC is the old style which means a little bit noisy and it can be difficult to adjust the temperature. But still acceptable. Typical Filipino breakfast with coffee is included. Good location near everything here in Pasay. MOA (Mall of Asia) is just a jeepney ride away, 5 min and 8 PHP. Metro Point Mall and LRT/MRT (The metro rail system) in walking distance from the hotel. Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport is 200-300 PHP away with a taxi. WiFi is good even in the room. The downside is the neighborhood which might be a little bit rough at night time. Many karaoke bars and some short time hotels nearby. But I have never experienced any harassment what so ever.

I stayed here for several nights. My room was spacious with a nice view over the compound. Everything was nice and clean. Friendly and service minded staff. No WiFi in the room but I stayed in the room 5 near the bar so most of the time I could enjoy free WiFi.
The breakfast not recommended though
They had only one type of breakfast 200 PHP, nothing wrong with it but it was an American dull breakfast with nothing special at all. Not recommended. Apart from that no other food was available. But since I had a fridge in the room I had my own stuff and it was ok to eat it in the bar. Coffee was complimentary. Only a few other guests were here under my stay. The location was 5 min by tricycle from the city of Sorsogon.

Good value for the money, fresh and clean, good location. This hotel seems to be newly built or renovated. The only negative is their WiFi, it's supposed to be working in every room but it doesn't. The only place in the hotel you can be reasonable sure that's working is in the lobby area. A minor detail is when your WiFi connected device been idle for just a little while (around 2 minutes) then you need to logg in with user name and password again. So frustrating! Apart from that their Pancit Guisado is one of the best I have tried... and trust me I have tried a lot Pancits allover the Philippines.
