Hotels near Grande Beach Resort, Cebu

We've gone here for the last two Mother's Days after going a few previous times over the years. The rooms are simply appointed, but the pool is fantastic with two curved slides the kids enjoy for hours every time we go there. They've got a 'zip-line' that's about as tame as anything bearing the name could ever be. It runs from the far corner of the property over to near the pool, and has been the source of many great memories for my family these past few years. There's also a maze that the kids enjoy racing through, and a rock-climbing wall which my seven and eight year old daughters clambered up this last go-round. The food is a little expensive and slow to arrive, but the quality of everything we've tried on the menu is very good to excellent (for my money, it's better than any pure Filipino restaurants I've eaten at in Cebu City) so make sure you order early and you won't be disappointed. There are also a few basketball hoops like I grew up playing in coin-op arcades, along with some tire obstacle courses and a few old but fun playground toys for littler kids to enjoy. All in all, we'll be going back year after year.

So pleased we chose to stay at High Steps Pension instead of a down town hotel. No hustle and bustle or air pollution here. Just a fabulous view, a cool breeze from the sea and the scent of flowers. The pictures say it all. Our room with ensuite also had a fully equipped kitchen and everywhere was spotlessly clean. Simply a hidden gem. Will definitely stay again.

[Day Use only] The area is great it has playground for children, bar, and basketball court. The pool is well maintain. The restaurant food is a little expensive but it taste good. Parking space is no problem at all it has a lot of parking area. Security is very good it has a security guard at the gate and the area is enclosed with high wall. It has a lot of Cottage that is clean and well maintain. You can go fishing also for Tilapia and have it cook. It has a lot of room and can accommodate a lot of guest. Great spending time with family and friends. The entrance fee is afforable.

Ocean Heaven had this valentine promo offer and so I availed as I'll be in the Island on those dates. The Room is Fresh and Spotless clean. The Bed and the Bathroom as well as the closet looks new, it is new. AC, TV and hot water is OK and Wifi is Very Good..Housekeeping is attending to my needs like providing a rack so I can dry my clothes and they always greet w a smile. The garden and pathwalk is wide and the whole resort had two pools w spots to relax and chill. The breakfast is good too. Location is perfect to the beach and there's a guy infront outside the resort named Azang which offers island day tours at reasonable price. I enjoyed my two nights stay.

So many errors with this hotel. First: The name is a sham! There is no beach at all connected to the hotel. To be honest there are no beaches nearby at all. They do have a maybe 50 meter connection to the sea squeezed in between two big concrete walls, but that should be more considered as a torned down harbour with a rocky coastline if anything. Often with lot of garbage floating close to shore. Secondly: The hotel tries to make money out of external events hiring their grounds, which happens to be all of the common areas left outside your own room like the pool area. We stayed there for eight nights (15-23/5 2022) and from 8am to 11pm there were about two to four events every day making noice and playing loud music constantly. Often at the same time. In a very limited area there could be a private birthday party playing live music, a private student celebration with a DJ and by ”the beach” a private fitness event playing loud bass music - all at the same time. So to try to relax was impossible. When that stopped around 11pm it was almost a relief just to hear the constant noice from the heavily trafficked road right outside the reception. Talk about reception, the third problem: Their wifi sucks big time! We were there working and it was impossible to do our jobs properly using the room wifi that was crashing most of the time. I know that the Philippines are not Europe, but since the wifi in the reception was always working, it depends more on poor equipment than the bandwidth. Maybe they could use some of the event money they earn and put in new equipment? Lastly: The service in the restaurant is terrible. To get food under an hour even if it is almost empty is impossible. And to get everyone served at the table at the same time never happened. But that seems to be a general Philippino thing. The room cleaning has also more to wish for. It is hard sometimes too se if they even has done anything more than just make the bed. But at least they filled up the toothbrushes. I think I had four untouched at the end... If they would put that efficacy in all they did, it would not make up for the constant sound pollution and the false name, but at least skip some irritation. With all this said, if you like to live in the middle of an amusement park - this is the place!

After we stayed for 5 nights at Kota beach we decided to stay 2 more nights here in Bantayan Island to make our vacation super worth it and lengthy. Me and my sister chose the Amihan Cabanas Resort since it's marked as number 1 in tripadvisor among other resorts here. The first night was very good.. the cabana was comfy (aside from the mosquitoes part) and the place was aesthetically pleasing as well. We are the type of travelers that no longer party that much so we just stayed in the resort the whole time. Food was scrumptious and they have big servings. Now why would I give it only 1star? It's because of the service team. The 2nd night that we had dinner, there was a fly that landed into my cocktail. I asked the waiter or the bartender named Gil (a guest gave him a review here that's why I knew his name) to just replace my drink or if he couldn't do it, just remove it from the bill. He said that his supervisor would not allow the drink to be removed from the item because it's already been on the table. And he even told us that it's our responsibility to chase away the flies. Like what? Are you okay? You are showing us this attitude and we are paying customers. Do something about the pesky flies first before telling us it's our responsibility. We even politely asked you to remove the drink. It's okay for us to pay for the drink but his response and the attitude for handling the complaint is what irked me. It doesn't matter how spectacular the place is if the staffs are rude. It will just ruin the great experience you are having. 👎🏻

All liked it. We rented a bungalow for 4 nights. 2 adults + child 7 years old. Comfortable, enough space. The bungalow is a separate duplex with 2 rooms, with its own small terrace with a table and 2 chairs. Neighbors across the wall. Audibility is average, depends on what kind of neighbors you come across))) Everything is clean, they cleaned it every day. The TV is new, there is a kettle, the air conditioner is only the cheapest, it makes a lot of noise. Water, coffee and all supplies are brought every day. There is no tea. The bungalow is a little further from the beach, where the music is loud in the evenings. Other rooms are in buildings, they are closer to the beach. But it is noisier there in the evening. The area is great. The views of the bay are stunning. 2 Infinity pools. Descent to the beach from the territory. The bay is shallow, without hedgehogs and fish. Only starfish. The tides are very noticeable. There is a good cafe in the hotel, a little more expensive. And right next to the beach there is a good cafe called Pito’s, tasty and better prices. Overall these islands are price/quality.

We loved our stay at hotel, the bungalow was very spacious for a couple (large queen size bed, good air con, mini fridge, space for multiple pieces of luggage, etc) and also had a nice out door area with a porch swing / bean bag seats with cover. We also really enjoyed the breakfast in the cafe and would have dined there even if we hadn’t stayed at the hotel. Location is a little bit away from the port and main street area but we had rented motorcycles, so not an issue for us.

If you're seeking a tranquil retreat in Cebu, Kandaya Resort is the perfect choice. This luxurious resort offers stunning ocean views, impeccable service, and world-class amenities. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and beautifully appointed. The resort's restaurant serves delicious food, and the staff is incredibly attentive. We particularly enjoyed the private dining experience on the beach, which was truly unforgettable.

Incredible resort located on the tip of northern Cebu island. My husband and found this gem by accident. Unfortunately the reviews and advertising are basically non existent. Honestly its the best philippean owned resort we have ever been to (we live here in dumaguete). The landscaping is incredible, the rooms are modern and exceptionally clean. The restaurant serves mostly Philippine cuisine and it’s exceptional. What makes this resort really stand out is the incredible service from all the staff. Honestly speaking as a Philippina the level of service,maintenance, cleanliness of this resort is far above the standards of the majority of locally run resorts. The only issue was the state of the local beach. There was way to much trash along the entire beach. Unfortunately this is a major problem throughout the Philippines. The beaches are the major draw for foreign tourists. Foreign tourists are the ones who spend the most money. Not only at the resort but also in the local communities. Unfortunately most foreign tourists are not repeat customers. The number one reason why is trash problem on all the beaches. People do not want to spend thousands of dollars traveling 3/4 around the world to sunbathe or swim surrounded by trash. Want to increase foreign tourism? Address the trash problem on the beaches. It actually is that simple.
