5-Star Hotels in Central Visayas, Philippines

The hotel is only about a fifteen-minute drive from the airport, and it's located in the most vibrant area of the island. The environment is fantastic, and the staff are very friendly. It offers great value for money and is definitely worth recommending for a stay.

We chose to stay here a day early after our Bohol vacation because we didn't want to wake up early for the ferry to Cebu Airport. It's about a 50-minute drive from the Cebu pier and 30 minutes from the airport, so the transportation is quite decent. The environment lives up to Sheraton's quality. The hotel seems relatively new, so the facilities are very well maintained, and the views are absolutely stunning. Our room type had two 1.3-meter double beds, perfect for two adults and two children, with one adult sharing a bed with one child. The bathroom is spacious and clearly partitioned, with a well-designed shower, toilet, bathtub, vanity, and storage. The bedroom lighting is excellent, and the night light is a definite plus – just enough light for adults to browse their phones after the kids are asleep without waking them up. Now, for a complaint about the food. We had the dinner buffet at 5cien, and it was, without a doubt, the worst buffet I've ever had. Not a single dish was to my taste. The selection wasn't extensive to begin with, and then the food itself was just bad. It really doesn't justify the price of approximately 235 RMB per person. I tried everything, and it was practically inedible and a waste of ingredients. In the end, I had no choice but to eat the steamed dishes, but even those felt a bit undercooked. Because of that evening's experience, my expectations for breakfast the next day were very low. I didn't dare to hope for anything good, just ate a little and quickly checked out. Breakfast was slightly better than dinner, but that's about all I can say.

Fili at Nustar is amazing! I had one of the most relaxing stay. Most of the people are kind and everything is clean! The food is great and the facilities are top tier. Thank you for such a lovely stay! I also love that the buffet has vegetarian options!

Had an amazing stay at Nustar Hotel Cebu. The rooms were spacious, clean, and beautifully designed, with stunning views of the sea. The service was exceptional—staff were attentive, warm, and professional. The amenities, especially the pool and dining options, made the experience even more memorable. Definitely one of the best places to stay in Cebu. Highly recommended!

The best stay we had was at this resort in Cebu,we booked a villa and it was absolutely amazing experience. We had private room for our breakfast and had special cocktail and canapes which was amazing .The restaurant food was also so good.The in room breakfast Setup was done well ,all services in the villa was excellent . Resort is beautiful and very peaceful aswell.The spa treatment was excellent. Service for drop of to the airport was so convenient aswell. The staff are so lovely, friendly and so helpful.This place is a dream will definitely would love to come back and stay again.

Hands down, the best hotel in Cebu! The scenery is breathtaking, and the beach is incredibly long, with soft sand and plenty of fish in the water. My kids absolutely loved it, especially with the dedicated children's pool and slides. The only downside is that breakfast gets incredibly crowded; it seems like many people who aren't even staying at the hotel come just for the breakfast, leading to long queues every morning. It's quite pricey, definitely the most expensive in Cebu, but absolutely worth it. I think I'll be back!

Good experience as it is a 5 star hotel but I think they lack manpower as we trainees only most of the time. Hopefully they can provide more good service in the bar lounge area and atleast have artist musicians like other hotels even Dusit Thani Davao have also.

The rooms are a bit old, but still well-maintained. The white sand beach is incredibly beautiful, and having breakfast on the beach is a true delight. If you don't mind a hotel with some signs of age, I'd definitely recommend it. However, on the first day, there was no hot water for the shower, and on the second day, there was no cold water at all. So I had to hold the showerhead up high and let the water drip down, then slowly splash it on myself to avoid getting scalded. The water pressure was extremely low, like a tiny trickle, so it took ages to shower and I never really felt clean.

The location is very convenient, right near Alona Beach, so you can just step out and be there. It's also a relatively private hotel. The facilities are great, with two swimming pools and a gym. Other activities need to be booked in advance. It's very close to the airport, and round-trip transfers cost 1600 pesos. Breakfast was quite mediocre, without many options, mostly Filipino dishes. It has a private beach, which is small and not very high quality, mostly rocky, but it's perfect for a relaxing vacation if you're just looking for a quiet place to lie down.

Switched to this room and it was also really nice! 👍 The rooms are arranged in two rows of buildings. The ground floor has a long swimming pool and an infinity pool which are very unique, right next to the beach. 🏖️ The soundproofing issue in the room was smoothly resolved by switching rooms. The hotel front desk staff were friendly and enthusiastic, and the parking attendants at the entrance were very clear and efficient in arranging transport. I bought a durian and was forbidden from eating it at the hotel entrance, haha. The hotel's public areas and recreational facilities are spacious and modern, and the breakfast buffet is rich and varied. At night, the beach night market and street night market are very lively, and there are plenty of dining options nearby. It's a great place to stay on Panglao Island! 👍
