5-Star Hotels in Central Visayas, Philippines

I enjoyed my stay in Crimson Resort, the room is big and spacious for families, the staff are friendly and well trained, the four pools are huge and fun and the daily breakfast is delicious. We especially enjoyed the foam party at adult pool and Crimzone pool, the playground in Crimsone, the seaweed collection activity, snorkeling and the complete amenities of the room. Cebu beach is so pretty. Big shout-out to Clint in breakfast for his very warm service to me and my daughter. Cons: - There was no housekeeping done on 2nd day of my stay which was not informed to me in advance, I think that was not professional. - They don’t allow food delivery in but the food in the resort is not that delicious to be had everyday (I tried sisig, inasal and pizza). - You need grab or taxi to go out to Cebu city (and face the jam) as the shuttle only runs 3x a day, so it’s not convenient if you want to explore Cebu.

Really awesome and accommodating service. The resort is one of the best I've experienced in this part of asia, in terms of the food, room quality, all the hardware and service as well. Aloher was super friendly and very helpful, the front office staff were all kind and warm too. Breakfast was excellent, but might need greater variety in the fruit section. Location was slightly off the beaten track but the private beach as a result was perfect.

We had a wonderful stay at Modala Beach Resort! The place is absolutely beautiful — clean, modern, and right in front of a stunning beachfront. 🌊 The staff were all very friendly, polite, and always ready to help with a smile. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The pool area was lovely, especially during sunset — perfect for photos! 📸 The food at the restaurant was delicious, and breakfast had a great variety. It’s a great place for families, couples, or even friends who just want to unwind and enjoy Panglao’s natural beauty. We’ll definitely come back again soon. Highly recommended! ❤️

Surely it’s very nice 5 star hotel, but still one thing you need to consider before booking. The beach is sandy and zones nearby are quite comfortable to stay in and have a rest on the shore. But if you’re snorkeling fan - not a good option for you. On the photo you can see what happens on low tide. Surely you need to wear coral boots (mandatory!!!) and walk a long distance before reaching point where you can swim and snorkel. Still famous aero plane wreckage can be easily accessed and seen underwater. Coral bottom of the sea quite poor on this beach. But you can see a lot of different starfishes.

The room is good for couple or friends, the bed is comfortable and clean. The hotel is near the beach and restaurants which is a plus. The price for 1 night is not bad. Will recommend staying at hennan to everyone planning a trip to Panglao Bohol.

Our stay at Bai Hotel Cebu was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm, attentive service that set the tone for a truly refined experience. The room was elegant, spacious, and immaculately clean, offering both comfort and sophistication. Every detail reflected quality and care—from the tasteful interiors to the well-maintained facilities. The atmosphere was calm and upscale, making it perfect for rest and relaxation. Bai Hotel Cebu delivers a level of hospitality that feels premium and thoughtful, and we would gladly return for another indulgent stay.

We love Nustar so much! This is probably our 5th time here! Stayed here from Nov 5 to 7 as it’s Mine and my bros bday and it was after Typhoon Tino. As always they are very accomodating, friendly and helpful and gave me a piece of cake and fruit bowl but this time I ask for a happy birthday note on the monitor for background pic for me & entire family as celebration but they keep telling me they will send someone up but no one really came from the IT department . I did expect a happy birthday greeting on the monitor it would have been very special, but I understand as maybe they are so busy and under staff because of the typhoon and instead of 2 pm check and we were able to check in very late like 5:30 pm because they’re probably under staffs but all of these did not ruin our overall stay as new star staffs are all very welcoming. We had birthday dinner in the good luck hotpot which is just inside Nustar as well. Thank you Nustar for being very welcoming , friendly and hand on chest when Greeting guest is such a Nustar trademark  please trade me a guest feel welcome and at home

The room was fantastic—spacious, modern, and incredibly clean. The bed was one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in, making it easy to get a great night's sleep. The shower was also excellent, with great water pressure and plenty of hot water, which is always a plus after a long day. Breakfast at the hotel was also great. With big variety and good quality of the food. From fresh fruit and pastries to hot dishes, everything was delicious and well-prepared. However, the check-in process was a bit slow. It seemed like the front desk was understaffed or perhaps dealing with a system issue, which caused some delays. Additionally, I was disappointed to find out that the swimming pool was under renovation during my stay. It would have been nice to know this in advance, as I was looking forward to using it after a long day in a car. Despite these minor inconveniences, I enjoyed my stay and would definitely consider returning.

Great cozy hotel with great food in both restaurants, comes with a great service. The only issue i had was the pool seems to have too much chlorine which made me have the harshest eye irritation in my life from the pool water, lastly i wished the sea was a deeper.

Our room already had a double bed and a single bed, which was enough for three people, but when we checked in, the front desk forced us to pay for one more person's accommodation, and then added an extra bed to us. Don't you think this is clearly a rip-off? If you are a family, please think twice. I don't recommend this hotel.
