Hotels With Bar in Central Visayas, Philippines

Was looking forward to our stay with the rebranding of Belmont to international chain Mercure. GOOD: 1. Staff is great, friendly and helpful. Diane at the check-in counter was helpful. 2. 6-7 minutes walking access to the private beach and outdoor pool shared with Savoy Hotel. 3. There are many good restaurants within walking distance. 4. It also has an indoor pool, gym, and spa. COULD BE IMPROVED: 1. For a 4-star hotel, Pulo's breakfast was average with nothing special or memorable. The food selection for the buffet is plentiful but not premium. The service of the attendants is lacking. Once seated, no one approached us to offer water or coffee during breakfast. Spread is a decent size so you'll find something to fill you up. 2. There is sewer smell in the lobby of our floor and inside the elevator at times. One staff admitted that the building has plumbing issues in the basement. 3. Elevator security system is faulty. Would not accept my keycard so could not go to our floor. Had to approach the reception desk THREE times to have my keycard checked. Eventually a staff had to accompany me to the elevator to tap my floor.

We had an amazing stay at this resort, especially the breakfast. There are many pools and a calm beach, and the gym is very good. The entire staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and always smiling. However, there are a few things that could be improved: 1. The Wi-Fi access ends at 11 AM, which is quite strange and inconvenient. 2. You are not allowed to use the pools after your checkout. 3. You are not allowed to use the sunbeds with umbrellas after your checkout. 4. The beach is clean, but there is still a lot of “water grass” and the water is not very deep for swimming.

It’s was breathtaking room access pool view our room is,I just loved 😍the view ☺️especially at night swimming,though not much restaurant nearby you just need atleast 5mins from hotel to Alona beach. It was amazing and unforgettable memories to this hotel.

We had a wonderful stay at this resort and truly appreciate the exceptional service provided by the staff. The front desk team was incredibly helpful—when my husband thought he had dropped his wallet in the car during our transit from the pier, they went above and beyond by checking the CCTV to help us track the car plate number. With their help, we discovered that the wallet was not left in the van. Eventually, we realized it had been dropped in a Grab car during our journey from Cebu City to Pier 1 Cebu, and we were able to successfully recover it. We are very grateful for their effort and support throughout the process. From the first day we checked in, the front desk staff noticed that my son was not feeling well. They kindly informed us that the resort has a nurse available and encouraged us to reach out if needed. On the third day, my 4-year-old son’s diarrhea became more serious, and the staff once again showed genuine care and concern. They arranged for a nurse to check on him, who provided helpful advice and referred us to a clinic doctor the next morning. This gave us great peace of mind as parents. The room was very nice, clean, and comfortable, and we really enjoyed the pool—it was excellent. Overall, the warm hospitality made our stay even more memorable. We also enjoyed the buffet breakfast at the resort, the purple yam porridge is very nice. All the staff were very kind, helpful, friendly, and warm. We would definitely come back again if we travel to Bohol. One small suggestion would be to add a gym room for guests, which would make the facilities even more complete. Thank you again for the wonderful experience!

Facilities: The hotel is well-equipped. 1. The room furnishings are a bit old, especially the wooden furniture. 2. The room and balcony are quite spacious; we stayed in a premium room. 3. There are three swimming pools. The one near the beach is open until 12:00 PM. 4. Both pool bars at the hotel have a happy hour for drinks (buy one get one free) from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM. 5. The breakfast selection is limited (with a focus on Korean and Filipino dishes). Breakfast hours are 6:00 AM - 10:00 AM on the second floor, and 7:00 AM - 10:00 AM near the beach. 6. Check-out time is 11:00 AM (which is quite early). 7. If you arrive early, you can check in ahead of time if a room is available. Otherwise, you can pick up your room key at 3:00 PM with your ticket. 8. It's best to pay the hotel deposit in cash (4000p). If you use a credit card, the refund might take a long time to process after check-out.

I’ve stayed at this hotel a few times, and it’s become one of my favorites. At check-in, they welcomed me back, which was a really nice touch. Even though I arrived quite early, they still let me into a prepared room, which I really appreciated. The breakfast also delicious, and the rooftop bar has a great atmosphere, definitely one of the highlights. Overall, the value for money here is excellent. The only downside this time was that there was a noticeable sewage-like smell on the floor, which was a bit disappointing

Overall, our stay at Seda Ayala was mixed, and I would rate it 3 out of 5. The room itself was decent—clean and comfortable enough for a short stay, though nothing particularly memorable. Breakfast offered a wide selection of options, which was appreciated, but unfortunately the taste did not quite match the variety. What really affected our experience, however, was the service at the front desk during checkout. There were three counters open and only a short queue, yet the line barely moved and we ended up waiting for around 15 minutes. As we were in a rush to catch our flight, I approached a staff member named Stephan to ask if I could simply hand over the room keys to speed things up. Instead of assisting, he gave me a hostile look and curtly responded, “I have other customer,” in a tone that felt unnecessarily rude. This interaction overshadowed what was otherwise an average stay. With better service, especially at the front desk, the experience could have been much more pleasant.

All staff and crew have good customer service. The resort also offers free transfers to and from any point in Alona. They also offer airport transfer for only ₱100.00. Wifi connection is strong and breakfast menu is great! Most of the guests are foreigners. If your departure flight is hours away from the scheduled check out, you may leave your luggage at the front desk for free. had a very relaxing stay here and the resort is highly recommended😊✨

This resort is over ratedd. the only thing only good thing is the location on the beach.. Boked a sea viw room the amount of money they charge and the value for your money is 2 out of 5. needs renovattion Road leading to the hotel is all broken rooms are outdatwd.including bedding and bathroom only one resturant and bar. need more F&B outlet. no entertapinment on a friday nighr the place was very quiet wven though they sapid its sold out breakfast not many choices compare to other resorts of the same value. need to train there staff in resturant. no service

We stayed at Savoy Hotel Cebu and overall the experience was just okay. The room was smaller than what was shown in the photos, which was a bit disappointing. The toilet was also quite small and did not feel as dainty or well-designed as expected. Another concern was the breakfast policy. We booked the room with breakfast for 3 pax, but only 2 breakfasts were honored because my daughter is already 12 years old. This was not clearly explained during the booking, so it came as a surprise. The hotel is decent, but clearer information and more accurate photos would help manage guests’ expectations better.
