4-Star Hotels 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.

Our stay at Bohol Beach Club was an absolute dream, a perfect blend of swaying palm trees and pristine white sands! We stayed in a beachfront villa suite, and from our terrace, we had an uninterrupted view of the towering coconut trees, standing like elegant sentinels stretching endlessly along the coastline. They not only formed a stunning tropical tableau but also provided refreshing shade from the scorching sun. Lying in a hammock or on a beach chair, listening to the rustle of the coconut leaves in the sea breeze, was the unique, soothing soundtrack of this place. The fine, soft white sand was a delight to walk on barefoot, transitioning from warm to cool with every step. The beach gently sloped into the clear, emerald-green waters, creating a natural shallow area that was safe and perfect for children to play and for beginners to snorkel. If you're looking for that classic, quintessential island paradise – swaying palms, immaculate white sand, and crystal-clear water – Bohol Beach Club is the epitome of that postcard-perfect scene. We will definitely return for more memories of this coconut breeze and white sand!

It's close to the airport. Check-in is possible even late at night. The rooms are fairly clean. Minimal amenities are available. There's a nice pool. I didn't use the gym this time, but I'd like to try it next time I visit the facilities. The price is reasonable, making it perfect for solo travelers. This is very convenient for late-night flights. The shower has weak water pressure. Hair dryer provided. No toothbrush provided, so you'll need to bring your own. There was a large refrigerator. There was also a coffee maker. Open the curtains and you'll see the beautiful pool right in front of you. The lack of a convenience store nearby is a bit of a downside. The currency exchange with the best rate in Cebu is a plus. Very quiet location. Perfect for solo travelers.

Everything was perfect! We would just recommend that they provide disposable toothbrushes and toothpaste to their guests. The price is definitely worth it and you get pool access too. The staffs are amazing and you get a welcome drink too which is a nice touch!

This hotel offers excellent value for money; I'd highly recommend it to any friends visiting Bohol. **Facilities:** No mini-fridge, which I suggest they improve. The local weather is hot, and it's inconvenient when you want a cold drink or ice cream in your room. **Cleanliness:** Very clean. The pool is meticulously cleaned every day. **Environment:** It's quite close to Alona Beach. The hotel offers a shuttle service, and even if you take a tricycle back on your own, it's not expensive. There's a decent-sized supermarket about a ten-minute drive away. **Service:** The front desk and staff are all very friendly and enthusiastic.

We stayed for 2 nights. It was decent value for money. But lots of small giggles...our room was right kn top of the area that served bfast. Trolleys bringing food in made a lot of noise from 5 am! Towels were not freely available! Choice of food for vegetarians is limited.

The hotel is excellent. The grounds are huge and beautiful. Unfortunately, we were there for less than a day and used it as a transfer hotel, but it could definitely be a resort destination on its own. The beach is interesting with several entry points to the water. On the day we were there, it was well-maintained and the water was clean. There was a lot of security on the hotel grounds.

Booked a deluxe twin room for my two-day, one-night free and easy trip to Cebu. It was great value for money. The hotel is tucked away in a quiet spot despite being in a busy area. The breakfast buffet was good, and there's a huge mall next door with a food court and a big supermarket. I even found some local Cebu specialties like dark chocolate-covered dried mangoes, which were more than half the price compared to Manila airport. However, the city center of Cebu isn't the best environment, though it felt safe enough.

Conveniently located close enough to Alona beach to easily access all the restaurants, beaches, shops etc by scooter or tuktuk but also far away enough to not constantly be bothered by loud motors, tons of roosters and all that other noise. Rooms are spacious and clean, equipped with safe, fridge, hair dryer and plenty of racks and hooks to hang and dry your clothes. There's also an outdoor gym area and the pool is big and good for swimming. Plus the wifi is very stable and great for working remotely. Service is friendly and helpful, the restaurant is good too. Can recommend the hotel

We really enjoyed our stay at Luxu. All the facilities are brand new and very well maintained. The service is exceptional. Breakfast was good and offered a choice of Asian and western style options, though got repetitive after few days. The only issue we had was that rooms were not soundproofed well, so you get all the noises from the corridor, other rooms and the street, what could be disturbant for some. Count with about 15 minutes walk besides a road if going for the beach.
