Cebu Beach Hotels

"My advice, do not stay here in July. The hotel allows the nearby teenage english students to stay, and they cause a lot of chaos and are unsupervised most of the time. (I am a teacher, little discipline) Unfortunately, this makes it feel more like a youth hostel, than a hotel. Second, is the noise, lots of construction work up until 10pm and some all night long, lucky the room's AC is so loud but without it you can't sleep. Third, be prepared for every single time you walk down into the lobby, sales people will pounce on you trying to sell condos. There should be no sales people within the hotel at all! The pool and beach are amazing and the customer service is very good, but not as good as Boracay. But, at times the atmosphere is rowdy and not peaceful. Lastly, the stock of the pool bar and beach bar is pretty poor, never has what you actually want, and it is overpriced. (food and drink) Would I stay again? No. Is it value for money? I guess so. I would pay a bit more to stay in a better resort closer to the beach."

"I wanted our things up in our room but the receptionist told us they’ll bring it to us but it was already 30 mins but our things were still not brought to our room so I ended up going down and picked up knowing they forget about it. Breakfast buffet was good though. The services are just not good. Pool was still under construction."

"I spent four nights in the excecutive suite of the new wing and i was pleasantly surprised by the hospitality and excellent standard of this beautiful resort near the airport, which was not noticeable at all (no planes flying over or near the location). The hotel staff was always attentive, friendly and helpful. The beach was kept clean, the schools of little fish in the water indicating its purity. The restaurant Allegro's breakfast buffet offered a variety of different cuisine to choose from: tasty , fresh, appetizingly displayed. i especially enjoyed the local filipino treats like puto and bibinki. In addition i thoroughly enjoyed my vegetarian pizza at Delfino's and the refreshing thrist-quenching freshly-made juices at the juiceBar. I received two very relaxing treatments by Ms.Aileen at the Spa, with its peaceful and quiet atmosphere. Housekeeper Ms.Rose was impeccable at making sure i always had new bottles of drinking water. Although i did not require her daily housekeeping, my room stayed clean , towels orderly and my laundry was in perfect condition , delivered on time. This beautiful Resort deserves a five star rating in my humble opinion. Bravo and Thank you Bluewater Maribago, i know where i will be staying when i come back to the Philippines in the near future."

"This resort is truly exceptional! From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home. Our room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped, with a fantastic view. The resort's amenities, including the pool and beach access, were top-notch. We especially enjoyed the delicious food at the on-site restaurant and the peaceful atmosphere throughout the property. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind. We will definitely be back!”"

"The overall experience is good. Here are some of the highlights of our stay here in Solea Mactan: Great points: *Diverse and fun amenities which everyone can enjoy. From pools to beach to recreational activities. *Staffs are accommodating. They are patient with our requests and always smiling. *Foods are great! All are tasty. *Hotel room is clean and hotel attendant always make sure that our rooms are clean. *Freebies upon entrance for in-house guests. For improvement: *Bed requests. There should always be flexibility when it comes to guests bee choices especially for couples. *Toilet flush. Flushing the toilet is sometimes challenging as the dirt slowly gets flushed down. This needs to be fixed. *Leakage of water from shower room. There is a little amount of water leaking from the walls of the shower room to the outside wall facing the main room. For fixing as well. *Slower request accommodation. This does not happen most of the times but there moments that our requests takes time to be done. There is one instance wherein we requested for a “make up room” but was not attended right away. We had to call again on the front desk for this to be accommodated, though they are still courteous and apologized on the request delay. The experience is great and would recommend this to our friends but we hoped that the things needed to be fixed should be done asap for greater stay. Thank you Solea!"

"All bookings at Nustar Resort include breakfast and access to the Executive Club Lounge located on the 23rd floor of Fili Hotel. Mini-Bar is complimentary with a selection of 2 local beers, juices, and sodas. Nespresso machine with 4 capsules. TWG tea. Bottled water is unlimited. I appreciate the fridge being very cold. Gerlain Paris branded bathroom amenities, as well as bath salts for the large bath. Afternoon Tea (2:30 pm - 4:30 pm) Light snacks with a limited selection of savory and sweet bites, they need to improve on this. Evening cocktails and canapés (5:30 pm - 7:30 pm) Excellent food buffet. I like the lechon quesadillas, jalapeño cheese poppers, and siomai. I appreciate the bartender crafting cocktails from a menu of drinks. I understand the hotel is still brand new, but they need to do multiple inspections before releasing the room to guest. Vanity mirror was dusty from construction. The Butler service was very attentive, many thanks to Ice (Butler) for making my stay pleasant, he would escort me to the pool, and even breakfast buffet at Fili Hotel bypassing the crowd at the entrance. Breakfast Buffet is at Fili Hotel which is extensive and one of the best in Cebu. The problem is the crowd, while Nustar Butlers will escort Nustar guests to a table, there’s no dedicated tables for Nustar guests, which confuses the restaurant staff with seating assignments. Alternatively, the breakfast buffet at the executive club lounge is quiet but with limited options, they should have an a la carte menu to expand options like other international luxury hotels. The security at the lobby entrance is wildly inconvenient and inconsistent, every time you enter you need to prove you’re a guest of Nustar and not a guest of Fili or a casino player. It’s weird that they are sometimes overly strict and many times just ignore people passing by. Guests have a keycard to use elevators what’s the point of the guards that have a list of people’s names and room numbers, if anything that’s a security risk. The pool service is lacking. Shared between 2 hotels and the upcoming grand summit. The pool area lacks service of a 5-star hotel, towels need to be claimed at a towel hut. My expectation is that there are staff that will setup loungers with towels for guests. And since the pool facility is shared with the muncher large Fili Hotel it can get crowded. Fortunately, Nustar has a private infinity pool which was closed my stay. Nustar Resort has potential to be Cebu’s most luxurious hotel, they have the hard product with their spacious luxurious rooms, but they need to improve their soft product - the service from the butlers are outstanding and personal, but everyone else seems to be lost. For the asking price of 250-300 usd per night there’s a lot to expect. Nustar is primed for excellence but falls just short of achieving refined luxury. I’m hoping Nustar partners with Marriott and rebrand under Luxury Collection. Or even Hyatt with Unbound Collection."

"Super recommended service, all the staffs are very well trained and are all very friendly. Overall very nice here. Jpark won’t really let you walk away with a sad face, truly a 5-star Hotel+service! ❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"Overall, excellent, really friendly and perfect for relaxing. The lagoon was fantastic, you could float on top of it for hours watching the sky change color. There's an on site bakery, food generally good and 24/7 service. Def worth the money. Lots of readily available activities to do too. Great service."

"I was truly impressed by the warmth and friendliness of the entire staff—from the concierge and reception team to the kitchen' staff, housekeeping, public area staff, and security. What made my stay even more special was how they accommodated my request for a high-floor room with a stunning partial ocean view. The room was impeccably clean, and I appreciated the thoughtful details, from the plush pillows that ensured a great night's sleep to the automatic AC adjustment when the sliding door was opened. Breakfast was another highlight, and I must give special praise to the pastry chef—the croissants were exceptional, even better than those from some renowned pastry shops. Extra credit to the chef for such a delightful treat! Overall, my experience at The Reef was truly memorable, and I’ll cherish the wonderful moments it provided."

"the hotel was very nice and comfortable breakfast was good. there are some queue in cafe on breakfast time, but it’s just for inside dining. Me and my husband prefer to sit outside, so we didn’t wait for other. people, who work there all is good and very polite and friendly!!🫶🏼 i love them all!!! pools are always clean, beach is also clean and nice and have a lot of space for swimming and relaxing. Also there are sups and kayaks☀️ moreover, room is good, gym too i really like this hotel! be ready to one thing - you need pay 7000 philippines peso as pledge on check in. They’ll give you it back with checkout 🙌🏼"
