Thunderbird Resorts - Poro Point

The outside view are outstanding

If you exclude the view, there is nothing good about this resort. The bedroom full of dust. It looks like it has not been occupied for months, bathroom moldy, no hot water. Over price, I paid more for this Resort than what I paid New World Makati

Very clean. They change the beddings every day

The property is tucked in a Poro Point and is quite private. It has a beach access and swimming pools that cater to both adults and children. They have excellent staff, courteous and always ready to help.

The rooms are a bit unkempt. There are molds in the bathroom tiles. The cabinet doors are a bit skewed. Towels are obviously old. The linens and pillow cases are also old (has a yellow tinge). The curtains have molds.

I like the pool and the easy access to the beach

Its a bit old and not updatedThe water pressure is so low

The location and the amenities. Villas are good for 4 adults and 1 child.

The cabinet was loopsided and one of the switched were broken

We enjoyed the pools and on the whole had a comfortable stay but the upkeep leaves a lot to be desired. It appears that keeping everything in good order and especially the care of plants and trees is not the priority. Staff were helpful and friendly without exception. Still, this was not a five star experience. We found it disturbing that the resort encourages smoking through sales ladies parading through our otherwise very nice barbecue meal at the Fira beach club

Excellent breakfast - a variety of dishes served to cater for different types of guests; young, old, international tourists, etc. Meals I’d had was scrumptious and again for guests who preferred continental breakfast, local dishes, light and heavy meals. So happy and countented with our meals.

Maybe one day an elevator could be installed for retired, Senior and PWD, pregnant guests to ease their mobility to higher floors and for comfort and stable movements.

, and overall, the experience was a mix of positives and areas for improvement.What We Loved:•Location & Privacy: The secluded setting is perfect for those seeking peace and tranquility.•Breathtaking Ocean Views: The stunning ocean backdrop was a major reason I chose this property.•Spacious Villa & Large Pools: My family enjoyed swimming in the expansive pools while I relaxed with the calming ocean view.•Outstanding Staff & Service: The restaurant staff were excellent, and the reception team was superb—knowledgeable, welcoming, and even remembered my name, making me feel like a VIP.

Room for Improvement:•Villa Amenities & Furnishings: While spacious, the villa did not meet Western standards considering the price. The kitchen lacked essential amenities like a microwave and clean dishes for leftovers. The furnishings felt cheap, with an old and stained sink, and no soap provided for the kitchen. Cleanliness is not great. •Water Pressure & Plumbing: The water pressure was disappointingly low, and the toilet barely flushed—this needs urgent attention.•Living Room & TV Size: With such a wide living room, I expected a larger TV that complemented the space. Not all rooms had TVs, which they should.•Villa Design & Renovation Needed: The interior felt dull and outdated, far from luxurious. A renovation is necessary, especially in the restrooms, which had ample space but lacked shelving, modern decor, and even simple towel hooks. Adding a washer and dryer would be a great bonus for guests on extended stays.•Main Resort & Villas Need an Upgrade: The overall resort, especially the villas, would greatly benefit from renovations and a fresh coat of paint to enhance its appeal. Poro Point reminds me of Kempinski at the Dead Sea in Jordan, but the difference is in the luxurious style and design. Investing in upgrades would undoubtedly elevate its reputation.

The room and the whole property is really beautiful.

We had a hard time requesting a better table for the NY dinner countdown. The staff told us that our preferred table is already reserved for a specific group and all the tables were already reserved ahead of time a. I told them I initially called to reserve last Dec. 1. I had to really insist my request before they agree, only to find out during dinner that our preferred table was unoccupied as the group they assigned there did not come. Also, some of our requests when we called the reception were delayed and we needed to follow up before the staff took action.

The view is amazing

The water in the beginning have foul smell and the bed sheet have bug bed it itchy in the skin.

It is a beautiful and relaxing place complete will all amenities

Ala carte food is expensive but their buffets are reasonably priced.

The location next to the South China Sea is fantastic. I also liked the security measures in place. Philippines is not inherently a dangerous place but visible security is welcomed and is a deterrent. The staff are super and are universally very nice people.

I first visited Poro Point in 2010 and the older part of the Hotel now needs refurbishment. It is faded. However the bed was very good and the aircon worked. Wi-Fi was good. I didn’t have a hot shave once because the hot water was tepid at best. I had to let out the sink water by reaching underneath the sink and manually lifting the plug device. Olives Restaurant didn’t sell wine by the glass which was annoying so I drank beer. Breakfast was great if you liked Filipino food and there was a total lack of fibre on offer. No toast either. The bespoke omelettes, however, were very tasty.

Clean, well maintain, good housekeeping, beautiful seaview.

The property has the Santorini vibe. The view was awesome overlooking the water.

When we arrived at the property they were having an electricity issue where there was no power in the rooms and no water at the same time. We understand that this was not beyond their control but for a big property and the amount of money people are paying to stay there per night they should have a generator that could supply the whole property energy. We were given a choice to upgrade to a villa and free dinner but we opted for the deluxe rooms to see the beautiful view that they are advertising which you don’t get on their villas. We were then upgraded to their executive suite which offers a private pool and a view of the water from your room, the rooms were huge and nice, giving you a good holiday vibe. We were offered 3 of the suites as we were travelling with our family for a vacation. The rooms were nice but would need more attention to cleanliness and maintenance.
