Hotels with WiFi in Badian

"Cuestas Beach Resort was a welcome location, straight off the Ceres bus from Cebu.  A patch of paradise 🌺 The staff are ever so lovely, especially the receptionist Ginky.  All of the staff were more than happy to please and attend.  The owner Mons introduced himself and with a wealth of local information, this made our canyoneering and zip-line booking so easy.  He was helpful and pleasant always.   The pool is surrounded by lovely, manicured gardens, and the lighting at night has a delightful ambience.  It is one of the few resorts I have come across whereby you can swim in the pool until 10pm.  And the food?  DELICIOUS.  Couldn’t fault it. We were even happy that we got rained-in for a day, just to enjoy the surrounds and relaxing vibe of the resort."

"The hotel is located on a private island. Getting there isn't too difficult, but all the main attractions (sardines, sharks, canyoneering) are quite a distance away. This hotel seems to have been designed for guests who don't want to leave it – a small 'Bounty island' vibe. But it didn't quite hit the mark. The staff here are constantly smiling. As soon as they see you, they drop what they're doing to greet you. During meals, they approach you every minute to ask questions and tell you about the free 'entertainment' planned for the day. Honestly, it's annoying and doesn't match the status the hotel clearly aims for. In a good hotel, staff are incredibly helpful yet discreet. Here, they can't even clean the room without being noticed. However, you can tell they've been trained this way, rather than it being their natural work style. So, if they were trained differently, these young people would significantly improve the service quality. Also, don't expect quick responses or help from anyone. It's better to go directly to reception and sort things out yourself. That's the most effective way, otherwise, you might drown in a Kafkaesque castle with a British surrealist twist. The room we stayed in was magnificent in terms of size and cleanliness. The shower wasn't working well, but they replaced it quickly. When walking around the room, the wardrobe wobbles and makes noise, but these are minor issues. I noticed signs of wood-boring insects in the safe cabinet, but didn't see the insects themselves, so they didn't cause any trouble. Food. The food here is very poor, compared to all the other places I've visited in the Philippines. A hotel aiming for a high rating shouldn't be serving microwaved store-bought pizza at such a price. If the food is cooked properly (grilled chicken breast, for example), it's invariably oversalted or overspiced. Or both at once. I couldn't find a single dish on the menu that was worth its price or genuinely tasty, except perhaps for the scrambled eggs at breakfast. But that's not enough if you plan to stay on the island all day, is it? Snorkeling costs 1000 pesos per hour for the boat and 100-200 pesos for equipment (each item separate: mask, fins, aqua shoes). The hotel staff claim the equipment is new, but that's not true. Aqua shoes are essentially unavailable in adult sizes (from 40 and up, we found only two old and torn pairs). The coral reef is dying after the typhoon, but there are still beautiful spots, and my wife and I don't regret snorkeling here. Especially since it was the only activity available on the island. To sum up, this hotel might suit those who want to isolate themselves from the rest of the world for a resort-style vacation with an average level of service but rather high prices for that level."

"The location was perfect, very accessible to the tourists spots near in moalboal, lambug beach, osmeña peak, kawasan falls. Also, the staffs are very accommodating. The room is clean. The bathroom is very comfortable. AC is cold."

"The hotel is on a good beach, but bear in mind that there are strong waterfalls. The hotel is more focused on Philippine guests. Rooms are simple, mattresses and pillows are quite tough, would like to be soft. Cleaning is daily or as necessary. Very responsive and friendly staff, try to make your rest as comfortable as possible in the hotel. But!!! There are a lot of flip-karaoke bars nearby that will not allow you to lie on the beach in silence and relax. However, if no one is singing in karaoke, the beach is very beautiful and quiet."

"A cool, quiet place. Very clean and quiet."

"We reached out to the owner and they were responsive. The place is quite like I wanted since we brought our Son with us. The staffs are friendly and accommodating. The beach is 3-4 mins walk and was incredibly amazing. We enjoyed our stay, did not expect the room was huge, the cr was huge too!! Was able to cook. Overall, I wanna go back!! Thank you Homestay!!"
