Beach Hotels in Central Visayas, Philippines

Not the first time staying here, and will go back again. Location is perfect, all the necessities can be found within a walking distance. Amenities: All the important amenities are available except for hand towels and you have to beg for towels and pretty much the replenishment of amenities after the room is cleaned, far different from the last time when it was still Belmont. First room we were given had a very mouldy smell and which gave the kids and I instant headaches. They eventually changed it after about 4 hours of waiting and intervention by Trip.com. This really put a damper on things. Breakfast: Great, the variety is good, but it’s the same pretty much everyday. The beach: Within 5 minutes walk, but don’t you dare lose of misplace the beach pass paper tag, they’re very uptight about it. The beach if not the best beach, very rocky which makes swimming pretty uncomfortable. However, the pool area is awesome and there are sun loungers all around and that makes up for the unpleasant beach. They provide swimming towels too! I must say it has developed a lot since the last time I was here and I can only hope they will keep improving.

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.

The place is nice and comfortable. The room is well-lit and well-ventilated, which made the stay very pleasant. I would also like to commend Haidie from the information desk for being very approachable and for assisting me with a request that was beyond her usual duties. As a suggestion for improvement, it would be great if the rooms could include a clothes iron or steamer, as well as hair conditioner for guests.

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.

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!

Just a heads-up, make sure to double-check when booking the Bay Hotel, there are two of them. The location is pretty good, with a 7-Eleven right across the street and money exchange nearby. There were a lot of Japanese and Korean travelers in the hotel, and I saw many young kids, probably on study tours. My only question is, both rooms I was given were corner rooms. I'm not sure if it was due to room availability or if they assigned them because I'm Chinese.

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.

Great location near Aloha Beach with many restaurants and convenience stores nearby, very easy to get food and move around. Staff were helpful and friendly. However, the room was arranged near the water pump, which was very noisy throughout the stay. The room itself was very basic, suitable for a simple short stay.

My family and I only stayed for a night but it was a fun experience. There are a lot of pools and activity areas. All the pools were about knee to a bit above the waist high which was okay, I'm assuming it's for the safety of the kids since there are a lot of families with children in the resort. We also enjoyed the food(room service and breakfast buffet), but we were a bit disappointed with the dessert since the pastries were a little dry and bland. The drinks however, were good and enjoyable. Service was really nice, everyone always greeted us with a smile and was attentive to our needs. Wifi is free and so far we have had no problem with the speed. The beds are comfortable and the rooms were clean. Though I felt our experience was a bit lacking since there were a few toiletries that were not provided, like room slippers, cotton buds and cotton, a comb, etc. Also the cable was not good so staying in the room to relax would feel a little boring. Also, you only get 1 free request for ice and the next has a payment. But they do provide free water which is refillable and they also offer free instant coffee and tea. Overall, it was a fun experience and I would still love to come back next time.

Very nice resort with a small beach, 2 pools and some restaurants and bars. Rooms are big enough, breakfast was delicious. You need to walk a bit to find if you want to find outside restaurants or shops. Approximately 30mins by Grab to/from the airport.
