Hotels near Crimson Resort Garden, Cebu

We just returned home from Crimson Resort and Spa Mactan. It was our first time in Cebu. It was a short but great trip. The highlights: Accommodations: We chose Crimson because we frequent high-rise hotels when traveling and decided this time we wanted a villa/bungalow type of room. No hallways and no elevators. Crimson checked those boxes. They also accommodated our requests for a king bed and first floor room. Activities and amenities: Our daughter loved Crimzone and the children’s pool. It was hard to get her to leave. The Saturday foam party was fun and the pool staff were engaging. My wife and I both availed the spa and wow, we can see why they won an award for Best Value in Asia. The price was affordable while the quality of service was top-notch. Food: The buffet breakfast was good and had a lot of variety. My favorite item was the fruit and veggie smoothies. Who knew bakchoy and mango blend well together? But it was the attentive staff that really made breakfast a great experience. We tried the 24-hour room service and I swear the chicken club sandwich was one of the best I’ve had in my entire life 5/5! The lowlights: Here are some reasons why we are not giving Crimson an excellent review. 1. Overpriced/low quality food in Saffron during ala carte dinner. Our first night we arrived in the evening and were hungry. For two people (our daughter is a toddler) we paid over 5000php for an appetizer, 3 entrees, one beer and one bottle of water. Honestly, the price would be ok for this amount of food if the quality was better. I would suggest Aka or Enye for higher quality food although we didn’t try either. Saffron was empty that night and we found out why. 2. Distance to places/sites. Crimson is quite far for shopping or eating at other restaurants. We hired a private car for 3 hours and was only able to visit two sites and one pasalubong store. Luckily it was only moderate traffic on that Saturday. 2500php for a sedan for 3 hours was reasonable. 3. The gift shop is waaaay overpriced. 950php for a small tube of sunblock seemed very high even at a resort. We also wanted some souvenirs, but there wasn’t much variety at all. 4. Our room needed some TLC. The paint in the nice tub was chipping, the caulking in the showers could use a refresh and there was a huge ipis (roach) in the closet. Luckily we spent most of the time outside the room. 5. No floaties or life vests for toddlers to use, even for rental. Despite having almost everything else, this would have been a nice touch. 6. We came to Cebu for mangoes and lechon, but Crimson didn’t offer these items and again, because of distance, it would have been nice to have some at the hotel. The bottom line: We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it to others, however we would give them our full review so they are aware of the pros and cons. Thank you to the wonderful staff that made up for the minor issues we encountered!

This hotel is amazing and has the perfect staff, area, room, beach. Every my request was answered and resolved. I hope I could return this hotel because I enjoyed my trip especially staff. Breakfast was great. Also hotel has its own beach area when you can swim and snorkeling, but I recommend to use special shoes because there a lot of reefs.  I was after long trip and I could relax there. 

The location is a little unfortunate but I was only staying at the hotel so I booked and I was really impressed by the size of the room.

Excellent Stay with Amazing Service! I recently stayed at Belmont Hotel in Cebu, and it was an incredible experience! The room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The food was absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of options that cater to different tastes. What truly stood out was the exceptional service from the staff. Everyone was friendly, professional, and always ready to assist. A special shoutout to Beverly – she was incredibly nice, helpful, and went above and beyond to make my stay memorable. Her warm and friendly attitude made a significant difference, and I can't thank her enough. Additionally, staying at the hotel gave us free access to Mactan Newtown Beach, which was fantastic! The beach area had a beautiful swimming pool, and there were plenty of other activities to enjoy. It made the stay even more enjoyable and relaxing. I highly recommend Belmont Hotel for anyone visiting Cebu. With great food, comfortable rooms, exceptional service, and access to the beach, it’s a fantastic choice!

The hotel is so grand, everything looks fancy, aesthetic and expensive . The staff wears uniforms, everyone looks tidy and sharp. Staff are polite and easy to approach. The view from room 1535 is spectacular. I can see the sea, a small community, another building and part of the city. The room is well maintained, clean and tidy. Everything is inside. Free coffee, shampoo, body wash, soap, 2 towels, 1 small towel, 2 bottled water, hot water, tv, CR, bathroom, safety deposit box, very big window . My family was very happy during their overnight staycation.

I spent most of my time in Cebu at the hotel because the facilities were amazing, and the hotel has private beach access. It's pretty far from Cebu City, but the staff are incredible. Highly recommend a stay here if you're looking for a resort vibe. 

All good with the experience, the staff is particularly courteous and helpful. Food was good in the restaurants and everything is thought of. We had a leak in the balcony and that is the only one gripe we had in the whole trip.

Stayed in a new building on the 4th floor. It is one of the best rooms that I have stayed at in the Philippines. Nice large modern room and bathroom. Elevator was fast. Had a great Italian jount on the first floor that made great pizzas. Nice 9' Brunswick pool table. The pool is a little dated but refreshing. Hard to find a place to sit on weekends but the beach is nearby. Wanted to go jet skiing but only if one of the staff rode on back. I opted out of that. Oyster bar, bar was great for happy hour and friendly staff made great drinks. All the staff were super friendly! If I hadn't gotten food poisoning on the island (not here) it would have been so much better.

Clean and great stay, nice sized pool and comfy cabanas , the food is good in morning, the beach is not clean though and we preferred swimming in the pool

The specific hotel is just 20 minutes driving from the Cebu airport. Its location is excellent. I can say that it was a small paradise. There is a huge pool with a bar that you can spend your day. The staff were very friendly and polite. The breakfast was huge. The room was amazing, very clean. The Cara Spa was excellent with professional staff. Also, the Nonki restaurant offers one of the best sushi i have ever tried. Thank you for making our honeymoon so unique!
