    That's a bit disappointing with the internet. A few years back I stayed in the neighboring Courtyard Hotel by Marriot and had much better Wi-Fi bandwith there. Glad you're giving Guimaras a try! I would suggest doing a land tour around the island. Regarding the RoRo ferry situation, in my experience you can get on the Montenegro faster without queueing too much while the FF Cruz can test your patience but has cheaper rates. But it seems you already paid for an FF Cruz ticket in your last video. Anyway, take care on your adventures Mergim!

    There's another homegrown brand by Megaworld, a 4-star hotel, opening soon. The hotel is 12 stories high and has 405 hotel rooms, costing P1.5 billion.
    The Belmont Hotel is located just across from the Richmond Hotel and next to a luxury condominium called the St. Dominique and St. Honore.

    You got lucky with the weather, it's been raining none stop here. I guess you don't know the trick to speeding up the internet on the hotel wifi. When I ran the test I got 66 Mbps on download and 18 Mbps upload.
    We figured out the thermostat, rotated the dial to about 25 and it kept a good temperature, but we were a few floors down and not on a corner units so it might have helped a bit. We got the TV to work, it is old school with a large selections of TV channels. Not having a smart TV isn't such a downer, most of my UA-cam viewing is done on a computer. Agree the pillows are a bit thin, tend to fold them over to get a bit of bulk out of them, but I've noticed a lot of the hotels seems to use those types of pillows. Your room orientation is exactly what we had, it's strange they didn't design your room to take advantage of those large windows. Would have made sense to flip the bed to the other wall turning the room into an epic experience.

    In my opinion, The Richmonde Hotel is, in terms of maintenance, neglected. Maybe it's the OCD in me but...I notice things, such as stains in their carpet in front of elevators and hallways (on every floor), their exterior windows are filthy and full of calcium deposits, including the canopy above the lobby and entrance area, etc., etc. All that I previously mentioned should be reason enough for them to lower their room rates. Also, based on my personal experiences through the years...Megaworld properties are forgotten (maintenance, etc.) once they are up and running. They continue on to the next, newest project. Rinse, wash, repeat. Their Eastwood property comes to mind. The Marriott a block away from the Richmonde is a better option albeit a little more pricier.

    I actually love this hotel and love the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. The restaurant at the ground floor has a lot of options and they're quiet frankly delicious. Yes I do agree that the pillow could need some upgrading. The pool was just right for me as I do not intend to swim like an Olympic swimmer. Its actually quiet relaxing by the pool and nice selection of drinks on the bar. With that said I will definitely try other hotels especially the new ones that are opening up in this lovely city.
