Huge clean room with comfy bed. Friendly helpful staff. The breakfast buffet was awesome and varied every day. We had reservations both the New Year’s Eve dinner and countdown. Great food, entertainment and an impressive fireworks display right in front of us. We will be staying here again.

After a bit of a mix up at check in we were offered a room upgrade to a Seaview room. Which was very much appreciated and was stunning ! Service throughout the hotel was very welcoming and professional. The resort was very clean and food at the restaurant was delicious and tast. It was low season so was rather quiet which we enjoyed. Pool and beachfront kept very clean and inviting for a swim. We enjoyed our stay.

This property in itself is a 4.5 to 5 star. The area around the property especially at the front gate is maybe a 2.5. So stay in the compound if you really want that good vibe and enjoy what the Beachfront has to offer

Totally worth the money

It’s a bit off, but easy to get around with grab. Room is ok, beds are a bit hard. Restaurant makes good food, but the selection is somewhat limited if you eat there more than 2-3 times. Pool is nice, staff is very helpful. Beach at the hotel is really small but there are good options within 5-10 min with a grab. A grab to Cebu city’s biggest mall (SM seaside) takes about 40 min and costs $10-$20 depending on traffic.

nice place but hard to find on maps

Nice place, breakfast good but its hard to find - the links for both google maps and apple maps doesnt quite get the right spot and the entrance into the location is double gated and looks like a dead end street but the full gate and guard is at the end of what appears like an alley. May not be an issue if you have a taxi or driver but if you drive yourself then it may take some time to get to the correct entrance

The room had a great view of ocean and the folding glass doors opened completely sideways to expose the entire room. Food, friendliness and service fantastic. Grounds were manicured perfectly. I stay here all the time, and will be back soon. Everything in the room works and spotless. Bed was so comfortable I had a hard time leaving the room. I can go on and on, can't say enough, and nothing to say on the contrary.

This property is a hidden gem. The restaurant cooks amazing food at lunch and dinner (though the included breakfast was admittedly lackluster). The pool is perfect for kids - clean and shallow enough for our 5 and 8 year old to play safely while adults sat in lounge chairs shaded by umbrellas and a large tree. There was a very deep end too. And the private beach was clean with beautiful vistas and a sunset view. Beds were plush! (A rarity on our trip). Bathrooms and rooms are clean and simple- not the grandest, but perfectly adequate. Staff was incredibly accommodating and kind. Easily the best stay on our trip. We will return.

Good place for value

This property is off the beaten path but had security and the tourist police station is down the road. We felt safe walking as 4 adults up the road for meals and massages. We had a 2 bedroom suite. The staff went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed and addressed concerns immediately. For example they turned up our hot water heater immediately upon calling as we had lukewarm water. 2k of laundry was only 200 peso. Downside is breakfast starts at 7 and the 2 tours we did picked up way before this so we missed out. Also breakfast food was cold but they heated up our plates upon request. Also disappointed that only coffe is included no tea. At low tide, the eater behind the hotel was fun to explore. Nice pool.

For the most part everything was good, the only things that bothered me were that the pool and jacuzzi wasn’t as clean. The beach is a beach that definitely needs aquatic shoes and can’t go in barefoot, too dangerous. The Queen size bed felt more like a double wide twin bed also. At the service desk please let your customers who are staying with you know about the pricing for Taxi Black/White/Red Local Motor Open, if I had known the Black taxi was going to cost me 1100 PHP for one trip to SM Seaside I would have just opted for a white taxi and waited, wasn’t in a huge rush. I would have loved a water purification system in the hallway for the hotel so I can use that water to make coffee. I don’t think it’s safe leaving a faucet in the room that is unsafe unclean water, I was glad understood English to read the warning but others like French or European tourists in general as well as other Asian tourists who do not read English will get hurt.
