Located 5 minutes away from the city center of Butuan, and across the street from Gaisano Mall, the Almont Inland Resort is a sprawling 4-hectare (9 acre) spread that has 52 deluxe rooms and 4 suites which are fully air-conditioned with cable TV, refrigerator with mini bar, National Direct Dial (NDD) and International Direct Dial (IDD) telephone, hot and cold running water and shower. Most rooms have a spacious veranda overlooking either the swimming pool or the man-made lake. There is also free WiFi internet service accessible from the restaurant area but the signal drops off sharply and is difficult to pick-up from the pool area and is impossible to see from the rooms.

The resort has complete conference facilities (Butuan Ballroom which can accommodate 1,800 persons and the Carmen Room which can seat 100 persons) and the Manay Maling Restaurant (open air) which offers both local and international cuisine as well as a very nice lunch and dinner buffet. There is also an open air wet bar adjacent to the restaurant and main swimming pool. The luxurious lagoon inspired swimming pool has man-made waterfalls and a separate kiddy pool with slide.

Other services and facilities are babysitting, currency exchange, safety deposit boxes, wakeup call, company doctor on call, massage service, laundry/pressing services and 24 hour room service.

I have stayed at this resort many times prior to the incorporation of Island Motor Tours, and it was actually the place I stayed upon my first visit to the Philippines in Oct 2005. Even then, I was impressed with the resort's very friendly and catering staff as well as the very nice accommodations and well manicured grounds (putting greens excluded). About the only complaint I have ever had is that the "hot" water is sometimes not so hot at certain high volume times of the day. The swimming pool is especially nice with its waterfalls and lagoon theme but the close proximity of a couple of trees that seem to drop leaves constantly throughout the year sometimes keep the pool boys busy from daylight to dark.

The food quality here is excellent with free room service. Meals are available as a menu item anytime from 6:00am to 10;00pm or as a buffet, 3 times a day. It is especially nice to eat breakfast outside on the private veranda of the rooms. The gentle tropical breeze and soft chirping of the native wrens that inhabit the rooflines of the resort's buildings seem to act as a soothing form of aroma and auditory therapy. This is a very nice resort at which to rest from your long trip upon arriving and also to unwind from your whirlwind motorcycle tour of the islands upon our return.
