Escape to Paradise: Dreamway House B&B, Roxas City - Your Capiz Getaway!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving HEADFIRST into Escape to Paradise: Dreamway House B&B in Roxas City, your Capiz Getaway! This isn't just a review; it's a virtual hug, a therapy session, AND a travel guide, all rolled into one slightly chaotic package. Prepare for honesty, opinions, and maybe a few tears (of joy, mostly…hopefully).
Let's get real, shall we? Finding the perfect getaway is like dating – exhilarating, terrifying, and often ends with you wondering what the heck you're doing there in the first place. But hold on, dear traveler, because Dreamway House might just be the one. Or, at the very least, a damn good fling.
First Impressions (and a confession):
Okay, so "Escape to Paradise" is a bold statement. I, being the cynical traveler that I am, braced myself. I envisioned generic hotel vibes, maybe a grumpy receptionist, and definitely a lukewarm buffet breakfast. But surprise! (I love being surprised!) Dreamway House… it's… well, it's charming. It genuinely FEELS like an escape. And the receptionist? Actually smiled! (Okay, that might be due to my incredibly charming personality, but still.)
Accessibility? (Let's Get Practical):
This is HUGE for a lot of us, right? Dreamway gets some solid points here, but it's not PERFECT (and honestly, I'm not expecting perfection).
- Wheelchair Accessible: This is a crucial one, and while they boast "Facilities for disabled guests" you need to confirm beforehand. I'm seeing elevators and general accessibility in some areas, but double-check specifics before you book to ensure it fits your needs! Contact their team, let’s confirm everything is in place.
- Getting Around: They offer Airport transfer (YES!), Car park [free of charge], and a Car park [on-site], which is always a win. Taxi service too, for those of us who prefer to let someone else do the driving.
Okay, Let's Talk Amenities – My Happy Place:
This is where Dreamway starts to shine. I'm a sucker for pampering, and they deliver on a lot of fronts.
- The Pool with a View? YES, PLEASE! (I haven't actually seen it yet, but the photos look amazing. I'm already picturing myself sipping a ridiculously fruity cocktail, judging everyone's swimsuits.)
- Spa/Sauna/Steamroom: This is where my inner goddess gets a makeover. Seriously, count me IN. Body scrub? Body wrap? Oh, you know I'm there. After all, relaxing is a full-time job when you're on vacation.
- Fitness Center: (Whispers) I might use it. Okay, realistically, I'll probably just glance at it while heading to the spa. But hey, the option's there!
- Massages: This is the essential part, I’ll definitely need a massage after the pool.
Cleanliness and Safety – Important Stuff!
In today's world, this is non-negotiable. And Dreamway seems to get it.
- Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Rooms sanitized between stays, Staff trained in safety protocol: Okay, good! This is what I want to see. I'm not asking for a hazmat suit, but I do appreciate knowing they're taking things seriously.
- Hand sanitizer, Mask, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter: A+! Common sense.
For the Foodie (Me!):
This is where I get really excited. A good B&B lives or dies on its food.
- Restaurants, A la carte in restaurant, Asian cuisine in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant: A nice spread! I like options.
- Breakfast [buffet] (and the all-important Breakfast service): I live for a good breakfast buffet. And having breakfast in room? Heaven. This is also good if you're feeling a bit shy to face the world early.
- Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop: Essential! It’s a must! A good cup of coffee is the cornerstone of any good getaway.
- Poolside bar, Snack bar: More drinks, quick snacks, and less effort to acquire them – I'm in!
The Rooms – My Personal Sanctuary:
- Air conditioning, Free Wi-Fi: Obviously.
- Air conditioning in public area: Big win for the hallways and common areas!
- Extra long bed: Bonus points for tall people like me!
- Blackout curtains: Yes, yes, and YES! We all need our sleep.
- Bathrobes, Slippers, Toiletries: These are thoughtful touches that make you feel special.
- Complimentary tea, Coffee/tea maker: Perfect for a cozy afternoon.
Services and Conveniences:
- 24-hour Room service: Ah, the gift of being able to order snacks and room service whenever you feel like it!
- Doorman, Concierge: Always helpful.
- Daily housekeeping: Yes, please! I'm on vacation. I don't want to make my bed.
- Laundry service, Ironing service: Praise be! Less packing!
- Cash withdrawal, Currency exchange: Very convenient.
Things to Do (Beyond Being Lazy):
I'm not always lazy. Okay, maybe I am. But even I need a little something to do sometimes.
- Things to do: I'm looking forward to exploring Roxas City. Dreamway, and I'm counting on you to help me organize.
- Shrine: You can do a bit of praying, I guess…
Okay, So What's the Catch?
Honestly? I don't see a HUGE one. The only downside I can see is the lack of a gym! But really, if you’re going to a spa, then you might as well go there.

Jaw-Dropping Nazare Beachfront Condo! (50m Away!) Remodeled July 2022
Okay, buckle up, buttercups! This isn't your perfectly polished travel blog. This is me at Dreamway House Bed & Breakfast… well, about to be me. Roxas City, Capiz, Philippines. Here we go… and honestly? I kind of need this vacation. Like, desperately.
Dreamway Daze: A Roxas City Ramble (and a bit of a breakdown)
Day 1: Arrival and… Existential Dread? (Kidding… mostly.)
Morning (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM): The airport. Ugh. Airports. They're the gateway to adventure and also the physical manifestation of my anxiety. Delayed flight (naturally), coffee that tasted suspiciously like old socks, and the crushing weight of a thousand emails I should be ignoring.
- Quirky Observation: The woman next to me on the plane was wearing a t-shirt that said "I'm not a morning person." Sister! I feel you.
- Emotional Reaction: Relief. Pure, unadulterated relief when the wheels finally touched down at Roxas Airport. And then a wave of "Oh, God, I hope I remembered to pack my passport" (I did. Phew.)
Mid-Morning (9:00 AM - 11:00 AM): Taxi to Dreamway House. The humid air hit me like a warm, wet hug. In a good way. The driver, a tiny woman with a smile that could melt glaciers, told me about the fishing industry and the Capiz shells.
- Anecdote: She also told me a story about a particularly stubborn goat that kept trying to eat her laundry. Apparently, that goat was the bane of her existence. Loved it.
- Opinionated Language: I'm already loving the slow pace here. Manila's a whirlwind of chaos; this? This is breathing room.
Lunch (11:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Check-in, freshen up, and then… lunch. Dreamway House's "freshly caught seafood" sounded divine. I was ravenous. And the food? Honestly, it was fantastic. The prawns were the size of my hand. I almost cried a little. Seriously.
- Emotional Reaction: Euphoria. Pure, uncomplicated, seafood-induced euphoria. This is what life should be.
Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM): A wander through the city, just getting my bearings, and a slight panic when I realized I hadn't pre-booked any tours. Oops. Decided not to bother with it.
- Messy Structure & Rambles: Okay, so, I got lost. A bit. Not lost lost, more like "intentionally wandered in circles admiring the architecture." Found a cute little cafe with iced coffee and a woman playing a ukulele out front. Sat there for an hour, just listening. Bliss.
- Imperfection: Forgot my sunscreen. Already feeling the burn. Note to self: Buy sunscreen. Immediately.
Evening (5:00 PM - Onward): Sunset by the sea. Seriously, the colors were insane. Then, went back to Dreamway for dinner (more seafood! Don't judge me!) and chatting with the other guests.
- Stronger Emotional Reaction: The sunset… it almost made me forget how soul-crushingly difficult things have been back home. Almost. Still, damn beautiful.
- Opinionated Language: This whole "stress-free" thing? I think I'm starting to get it. And I like it. A lot.
Day 2: Seafood and Serendipity (and Maybe a Little Bit of Disaster)
Morning (7:00 AM - 9:00 AM): Breakfast at Dreamway. Pancakes, fresh fruit, and a view of the garden. I swear, the birds here have better manners than my cat.
- Quirky Observation: The coffee pot was shaped like a… well, let's just say it was a bit phallic. Chuckled.
- Emotional Reaction: Contentment. Just… pure, simple contentment.
Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): MARKET TRIP! (Okay, maybe I got a little carried away.) We went with the other guests on a pre-arranged market trip. The fish market in the morning smells… memorable. But also incredibly engaging and interesting. Then we had a nice conversation at the market with locals.
- Anecdote: Tried to bargain for a mango. Terribly. Failed miserably, but the vendor laughed and gave me a discount anyway. People here are so warm.
- Messy Structure & Rambles: This market… wow. The colors, the smells, the chaos… I could have spent all day there. I also bought way too many things I don't need. But hey, souvenirs!
Afternoon (12:00 PM - 3:00 PM): Seafood Feast, Round Two. This time, at a local resto. Honestly, I don’t even know what to order, so just asked the waiter for a recommendation and… WOW. Best meal I’ve had in ages.
- Doubling Down on Experience: The kinilaw was a revelation. The freshest fish, perfectly marinated in vinegar and ginger. I swear, I could eat that every single day for the rest of my life. I almost asked for seconds, but decided I didn't want to scare the waitress.
- Emotional Reaction: Culinary bliss. Seriously. I think I reached a higher plane of existence, at least temporarily.
Afternoon (3:00 PM - 5:00 PM): I planned to go to the beach… but ended up having a very long nap in a comfy chair. After food coma… I deserved it.
- Opinionated Language: Napping is essential to a quality vacation. Fact.
Evening (5:00 PM - Onward): Dinner at Dreamway House. More seafood, more conversations, more laughter, and possibly a little bit of wine. I needed the wine.
- Stream of Consciousness: Wait, are those fireflies? Holy crap, they are! I haven't seen fireflies in years. This is magical. Absolutely magical.
- Stronger Emotional Reaction: This place is starting to feel like… a hug. A big, warm, comforting hug. And I really, really needed a hug.
Day 3: Island Hopping… and Existential Musings? (Oh, dear.)
Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Island hopping! Boat trips! Sun! Sand! Sea! (And the distinct possibility of seasickness.)
- Quirky Observation: The guide kept calling me "Madam." I'm 40, but still… I’ll take it.
- Emotional Reaction: The boat ride was a little bumpy. I felt a little seasick. Not as good as the last two days.
Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Lunch on a deserted beach. Grilled fish, fresh coconut water, and the sound of the waves. Spectacular. I spent a lot of time thinking.
- Messier Structure & Rambles: So, there was this moment, on the beach, when I just… stopped. And stared. And it hit me. This is what I’ve been missing. This simple beauty, this quiet, this… peace. Of course, then I started worrying about everything I’m going through and stuff, then my sunscreen ran out…
- Imperfection: Sunburn is starting to kick in. My nose is currently the color of a ripe tomato. Again, sunscreen. Should've bought more sunscreen…
- Opinionated Language: I need more of this in my life. Way, way more.
Evening (5:00 PM - Onward): Dinner at Dreamway, packed to leave the day after. I feel a sense of deep sadness that the trip is coming to an end.
- Stream of Consciousness: I don’t want to leave. Why do vacations have to end? Can I just… stay here? Maybe I can start a new life, running a small guesthouse on the beach. Yes. That's what I'll do.
Day 4: Departure and a Slightly Less Existential Dread (Hallelujah!)
Morning (7:00 AM - 9:00 AM): One last breakfast at Dreamway. Hugs and promises to return from the staff.
- Anecdote: The owner, a woman with eyes that crinkled when she smiled, gave me a small Capiz shell as a parting gift. It felt… special.
- Emotional Reaction: Sadness (leaving), but tinged with a strange sense of hope.
Morning (9:00 AM - 11:00 AM): Taxi to the airport. That same tiny woman-driver, now smiling,
Escape to Paradise: Dreamway House B&B - Your Capiz Getaway! (FAQ, Because Let's Be Real, You NEED to Know)
Okay, spill. Is this "Escape to Paradise" thing… actually paradise? Or is it just another hotel with a leaky faucet?
Alright, alright, lemme level with you. "Paradise"? It's… *aspirational*. Dreamway House isn't *literally* the Garden of Eden with free-flowing ambrosia (darn, I was hoping). But, and this is a big but, it's *pretty darn close* when you're dragging yourself off the ferry after a chaotic arrival and just need a cold beer. Seriously, the name kinda fits. It's got that island vibe, the breezy open spaces, and the staff are genuinely nice and willing to help. Paradise-adjacent, maybe? Look, I've stayed in places where the only "paradise" was the relief from the cockroaches. Dreamway? No roaches, thankfully! My first impression? Pure bliss. It's the kind of place where you can actually *unwind*. Which, let's be honest, is paradise in itself sometimes.
What are the rooms *really* like? Be honest.
The rooms... okay, I'll be brutally honest. They're not the Ritz. They *are*, however, clean, comfortable, and charming in a slightly rustic way. Think breezy, with those mosquito nets that make you feel like a Victorian explorer (though thankfully fewer actual mosquitos than you'd expect). I stayed in one of the bungalows - the one with the really wonky lock that I swear I nearly broke on the first night (sorry, Dreamway!). It's *not* a five-star experience, but it’s *perfectly adequate* and feels authentic. Plus, the aircon *works*! (A HUGE win in humid Capiz). My only real grumble? Well, the shower pressure could be a *little* stronger, but hey, at least the water was warm. It's a small price to pay for a blissful escape, trust me. Don't expect gleaming chrome and marble, expect charming simplicity. And it's what you’re *supposed to* be doing there.
The food. Is it any good? Because I'm a food snob. Don't judge.
Food snob, eh? I hear ya. Look, the food at Dreamway is… *comforting*. It's not Michelin-star material, but it's homemade, fresh, and *deliciously* Filipino. And that's a huge win. Breakfast is included (yay!), and it's a decent spread of eggs, toast, fruit, and, of course, the all-important *tuyo* (dried fish). They also serve a mean *sinigang* (sour soup) for lunch, which is exactly what you need after a morning of exploring the local markets. The best part? They're super flexible. If you have dietary restrictions (or just a ridiculous craving), they'll do their best to accommodate. I asked for extra garlic on my *adobo*, and they happily obliged. Small things, but they make a difference! Seriously, the lack of pretension is refreshing. And sometimes, that's more valuable than the fanciest plate. I still dream of that adobo...
What's the vibe? Is it a party place, a romantic getaway, or what?
Vibe check: Dreamway is *chilled*. It's definitely *not* a party place. Think relaxed, laid-back, and perfect for escaping the chaos of, well, life. It's ideal for couples, families, or solo travelers looking for a bit of peace. There's a lovely communal area where you can sit and read, chat with other guests, or just stare out at the ocean. I spent a whole afternoon just… *existing* in a hammock. Bliss. It's the kind of place where you can actually hear the birds singing (and not the blaring of a karaoke machine). If you're the type who needs constant stimulation, Dreamway might bore you. But if you're craving a dose of tranquility, you've found your spot. Honestly, the quiet was the biggest luxury. I needed that.
Tell me about location - is everything within easy reach? Because I don't want to spend all my time in taxis.
Location, location, location! Dreamway's good on this front. It's ideally situated near the beach, and *that* is what you're there for! You can wander along the shore and take in the sites. There’s a variety of restaurants nearby, and getting into Roxas City itself is super easy, maybe a short tricycle ride or even a nice walk. The nearby market is also worth checking out – fresh seafood like you wouldn't BELIEVE, if you're into that kind of thing, which you should be. Seriously, that market was a sensory overload in the best possible way. The only minor issue? Getting *to* Dreamway. The roads leading to the place are a *little* rough, but hey, it adds to the adventure, right? It certainly felt like I was escaping *somewhere*. Once you ARRIVE, you're set!
What about the staff? Are they helpful? Overly friendly? (I hate overly friendly.)
Oh, the staff! Okay, breathe. The staff at Dreamway are *lovely*. They're genuinely helpful, friendly without being annoyingly effusive, and always willing to go the extra mile. They've got that classic Filipino hospitality down pat. I remember one morning, I was struggling to figure out directions to the local church (I'm terrible with directions, honestly). One of the staff members, Ate Susan, walked me almost all the way there! And it wasn't because she *had* to, but because she *wanted* to. That's the kind of genuine care you find there. They're also great at giving recommendations. "Try the *kinilaw* at that little place down the road," they'd say. And they were ALWAYS spot on. (Though, be warned, they *may* know your business by the end of your stay. They're good listeners, and *very* observant) Really, they made the whole experience.
Okay, what's the one thing you'd change? Be utterly honest.
Okay, deep breath... if I *had* to nitpick - and this is me being *incredibly* picky, because honestly, I loved the place - the lighting in my room could've been slightly brighter. It was a bit dim at night, which made it a little difficult to read (because, you know, books are important). But honestly? That's it. One tiny, minor, barely noticeable thing. They more than make up for it with the overall experience. I mean, *overall*... If I *had* to be critical, which is what you’re asking me to do, I would say the lack of a strong WiFi signal inHotels With Kitchenettes
