Hotels With Pools in Central Visayas, Philippines

Everything in this hotel works well except the food. I ordered room service and the quality of the food was not what I expected. The veggie kare-kare tasted like plain stir fry. The salted dried fish fried rice did not taste like there was dried fish at all. Buffet breakfast options were very limited. The tastes of the food that claims to be Cebuano are just sad. I hope they do something about their food quality because the people here are just wonderful. Concierge, reception, housekeeping, F&B... they are wonderful! The rooms are great too! I went there to relax after two weeks of back-to-back illness and I mostly stayed in the room to sleep and watch the French Open. Great bed and pillows! Shower pressure is perfect and the toiletries are complete and well stocked. There is access to a private beach and there is a sauna and pool on the second floor. I just really hope they make improvements with their food.

Switched to this room and it was also really nice! 👍 The rooms are arranged in two rows of buildings. The ground floor has a long swimming pool and an infinity pool which are very unique, right next to the beach. 🏖️ The soundproofing issue in the room was smoothly resolved by switching rooms. The hotel front desk staff were friendly and enthusiastic, and the parking attendants at the entrance were very clear and efficient in arranging transport. I bought a durian and was forbidden from eating it at the hotel entrance, haha. The hotel's public areas and recreational facilities are spacious and modern, and the breakfast buffet is rich and varied. At night, the beach night market and street night market are very lively, and there are plenty of dining options nearby. It's a great place to stay on Panglao Island! 👍

I have had the pleasure of booking this hotel on four separate occasions, each time I visit the Philippines. I was particularly impressed by the Manager on Duty, who graciously accommodated my request for a city-view room on a high floor. I have always been drawn to this hotel due to its prime location, excellent breakfast selection, and courteous staff who consistently provide exceptional assistance. I highly recommend this Bayfront hotel at Cebu Capitol Site for its outstanding services.

Perfect! This hotel is part of a chain, and all the Hennan properties are connected. The Alona branch is fantastic, with direct beach access right outside. The breakfast spread is amazing, and the buffet for lunch and dinner is also great. You could easily spend a whole day just enjoying the hotel facilities!

My overall stay is good. The hotel’s location is ideal. Staff are pleasant.  Things to improve: no slippers. Free water refilling station would be good. The beds are not attached to the headboard and easily moves out of place.  I just noticed for two nights out of the four nights I stayed, There were loud noises that’s coming from outside the room from several people who seemed to be casually discussing, laughing and hanging out and it went on for several minutes. That was already 10pm and it was distracting.

Locals told me this is the most luxurious hotel in Cebu. The opulent lobby and the kind, attentive staff truly impressed me. The view from my room wasn't great as there was construction (probably another hotel) directly across, but the room was cleaned beautifully every day, making my stay very comfortable. I was also very happy to have a bathtub, as hotels with tubs are quite rare in Cebu. This meant the bathroom was quite spacious. Although you could see into the room from the outside, closing the curtains solved that completely. The amenities were excellent, including toothbrushes, razors, combs, and more! I was also pleased to find body lotion. I booked a plan with breakfast included, and I'm so glad I did! There was a wide variety of dishes, and the menu changed slightly every day, so I never got bored. While some dishes had a strong smell, the taste wasn't bad at all. There are pools on the 4th and 5th floors, and the views were absolutely stunning, so I highly recommend checking them out. The pool on the 4th floor is smaller, but the panoramic views are fantastic for taking photos. The gym was also available 24 hours. If I ever go to Cebu again, I will definitely stay at this hotel. It was so wonderful that I didn't want to go back to Japan...

Location is great. It’s near the airport, near the beach, many restaurants and convenience stores around. However the cleanliness of the hotel has so much more to improve. Pillowcases smelled used, so I had it replaced. The duvet cover also has some nasty smell. They do not clean daily. And when they do, they don’t replace towels. They are nice when I’m asking for assistance, but clean sheets and pillows should be a standard and I shouldn’t ask for it pa. Their pool on the third floor is not that safe for children, as some of the tiles are quite lifted up, and it could cause small cut if you’re not careful. But their infinity pool near the beach is great, it’s big and clean. However, water there is expensive, so bring some with you if you decide to go.

We had a wonderful 3-day stay! The unit was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The owner and staff are very accommodating.Highly recommended!

The hotel is truly impressive, with breathtaking views that make every moment feel special. The private beach is a standout feature: peaceful, well-maintained, and perfect for snorkelling. Dining at the penthouse was a highlight, especially the pizza, which was exceptional. In fact, every restaurant in the hotel served delicious food, offering a consistently high standard across the board. What made the experience even better was the staff, who were warm, attentive, and genuinely pleasant throughout the stay.

We had a good stay.. My kids enjoyed the pool and the slide inside the building.... The breakfast buffet is what i like the most... With lots of food to choose to..... Highly recommended...
