Resorts in Cebu

"We had an amazing experience! My family especially my child enjoyed our stay. There are lots of swimming pools to choose from. The people are kind and accomodating, no hassle in booking. Super nice and worth it! 👏🏻👏🏻"

"This hotel is a giant family playground! The kids' pool has slides, and they provide all the sand toys for free on the beach. There are daily kids' activities (coral planting/craft classes), and my child loved it so much they didn't want to leave. The Ocean Wing rooms are spacious, the bedding is comfortable, and the balcony with sea views is incredibly therapeutic. The staff are super patient with children, there's a dedicated kids' section at breakfast, and the private beach is safe and clean. It's also close to the airport, so no hassle, and the whole family was happy!"

"I have been using Costabella for nearly 20 years and have always considered it a pleasant, well maintained hotel. In fact I even got married here! However, during my most recent stay, the experience fell noticeably short of expectations. We booked a poolside room and, after check in, I was genuinely surprised to find that the room was on the third floor. Based on my many previous stays, I had always understood poolside rooms to be those adjacent to the pool at ground level. If you are booking a poolside room, be aware that this may not be the case and expectations should be managed accordingly. The room itself was a little dated in style, but it was clean, comfortable, and well looked after. Housekeeping was consistent throughout the stay, which helped offset the older décor. The pool area is relatively small but generally well maintained. Unfortunately, it was extremely crowded throughout the day due to the large number of day pass visitors. As a result, there were no chairs or loungers available for hotel guests for most of the day, which was disappointing. On a positive note, the beach area was clean and pleasant. The food was the main let down. The buffet breakfast would rate no more than 4 out of 10. Much of the food had not been replenished, including empty juice and coffee stations, and what remained was cold and unappetising. However, it was better on the second day. Dinner was equally disappointing. Several main courses were served cold and had to be sent back to the kitchen twice. In the end, we cancelled two seafood dishes altogether, as reheating raised concerns about food quality and safety. The steak, which was once a highlight of Costabella for me, was extremely tough and far below the standard I have previously enjoyed. Overall, Costabella still has many positive qualities, but this stay did not reflect the standards I have previously associated with the resort and this will be my last visit. Unless the quality of the food and the management of guest capacity improve, I would find it difficult to recommend Costabella based on this recent experience."

"Massive complex. 3 swimming pools. Clean rooms whi h get cleaned daily. Reception staff on arrival were a bit rude as they could not understand my accent, which is english. Local tricycle drivers will drive you to local street food, supermarkets, out on the boats. All other staff were very friendly and professional. Only issue is that you have to give 2000pho deposit per night, which I wasn't expecting. On check out, they inspect the room before they give you your deposit back Fabulous view of the sea. Stunning"

"I booked for a room with pool view which is more expensive than the rest of the rooms but i was greatly disappointed. We were placed in a room with a roof view and the view of another building! It was a waste of money! We only get to see the roof of something! Never again would i be paying extra money for a pool view when the hotel will not give us such kind of room as advertised. They said they will transfer us to a room with a pool view but it did not happen. We kept on waiting but it did not happen until we gave up. The receptionist was a little disrespectful and impatient. Worse still, they do not allow guests who have checked in the hotel to use the pool with inflatable play set and slides. I was mislead into thinking that guests can use the pool with inflatable play set for free. The hotel guests have to pay P600 per person in order for one to be able to use such pool and slides. I guess families with children have been more disappointed than me knowing that they and their kids could not use such pool for free. So those who will try to book this hotel hoping their kids can enjoy the pool with inflatable play set and slides for free, think again. You will be greatly disappointed because you will only be able to use the ordinary pools."

"Staff were really friendly and helpful. From the check in to restaurant staffs. The housekeeping staff were awesome. They did a really good job keeping our rooms neat and tidy everyday. Breakfast buffet was basic and had plenty flies but it’s a resort so it’s pretty much expected. Could appreciate some sort of a deterrent . Hotel beach front was great compared to crimson. Would suggest some light music for ambience. Location of the hotel is convenient. The children enjoyed the 3 swimming pools and the Mrs loved the spa. Overall they lived up the 4 star resort hotel experience and expectations."

"The entire resort consists of 1-2 story buildings, giving it a real vacation vibe away from the bustling city. The staff were incredibly friendly throughout our stay. You do have to be patient with the slower service, like dishes being served, which is common in the Philippines, but then again, we were there to enjoy a 'slow-paced life.' If you want your room cleaned quickly, you'll need to call the front desk specifically, otherwise, it typically won't be done until after 3 PM."

"Though a bit laid back of a set up, we were grateful and satisfied with our stay. The breakfast buffet was so generous and prepared good tasting. The service was indeed warm and fast. This place a bit distant with other restos but they have inhouse food service and taste was great. Definitely will come back."

"We had an amazing experience at arterra Hotel during Christmas day. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, the rooms were spotless and comfortable, and the amenities exceeded our expectations. The location was perfect and the overall ambiance made my stay truly memorable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great place to relax and unwind. God bless"

"Amazing staff! Great food, many pools, and brilliant atmosphere. I was in a newly renovated room. Although the toilet seat definitely needed updating. The seat was damaged/old and needed replacing. I requested this two days in a row, and it wasn’t changed. Other than the toilet seat issue, my stay was perfect."
