Wonderful place for a weekend getaway! Shangri-la was the perfect option for a weekend of sun, beach, and nice memories with my family - my kid just loved the pool area! Very comfortable room, an excellent breakfast with lots of options at Tides restaurant - try to avoid having breakfast around 08:45 - 09:15 am, we had to wait for 15-20 minutes to be seated. The Italian restaurant Acqua is a great option - the tagliatelle alle vongole was superb! We hope to come back soon!

The Badian Resort is best for the secluded getaway or just a quiet rest. You must get yourself by taxi or other vehicle to their pick-up pier where you be greeted by someone from their security team. He will verify you are expected and call one of their speedy water taxis and in 5 minutes you will arrive on the island where you will be met by one of their friendly staff. I was given a welcome flower to wear. I was quickly checked in, then personally escorted to my cabana. The room was very attractive, clean, safe, well laid out, quiet, roomy, and comfortable. Note: the room (my room) had neither teIevision nor phone - which was fine by me. WiFi was great. Cellular was zero. Yes, this is secluded. I arrived too late to use their pool, which closes at 5pm. Had a great dinner there with a large selection to order from. Breakfast was good, but not as good as dinner. The Badian’s grounds are fairly large. There didn’t seem to be other businesses or places to go on this island, so the focus is the resort.
I liked it very much and would definitely recommend it for anyone looking a laid back experience.

The place is very big. A long way from the reception desk to the blocks of rooms. There's an electric shuttle providing rides. But no phones in rooms, so you can't call it when you need a ride from your room. You can't order a meal unless you go to the restaurant yourself.
The infinity pool is very good. There's no beach - just a narrow ***** of sand beyond the high promenade. The sea is dead - no snorkeling. If you go half a mile of shore by downtown Argao - it's sewers.
The place is good for family events.
No hiking around but you can enjoy the ambience of the old downtown.
No refrigerators in rooms. There's 'corcage fee' in the rules. No food, no drinks from outside allowed. Actually, no one cares what you bring. This rule must be only an excuse for the absence of fridges.
Too pricy, to my mind.

Food an people were great but the rooms weren’t clean. A/c wasn’t good either but if you can handle the heat an not the best kept rooms than the pool was awesome. Only thing I didn’t like was after our 6th night there we we’re leaving an the guy at the front gate didn’t let us leave for 10 minutes it was awful an we checked out an everything else. Overall it was a great experience just a few disappointing things. We checked many places an fir this part of the province it’s as good as it gets folks

The pool is nice but the beach is not so good. It takes a while to get there from the airport so you need to arrive at the airport by 3pm to get in at 8pm. You need to do some shopping on the way but there are small stores. It's really rural. It was different from what I imagined. It felt more like going to the countryside to swim and play in the pool than in a city or resort.

TTable_for_3We just returned home from Crimson Resort and Spa Mactan. It was our first time in Cebu. It was a short but great trip.
The highlights:
Accommodations: We chose Crimson because we frequent high-rise hotels when traveling and decided this time we wanted a villa/bungalow type of room. No hallways and no elevators. Crimson checked those boxes. They also accommodated our requests for a king bed and first floor room.
Activities and amenities: Our daughter loved Crimzone and the children’s pool. It was hard to get her to leave. The Saturday foam party was fun and the pool staff were engaging. My wife and I both availed the spa and wow, we can see why they won an award for Best Value in Asia. The price was affordable while the quality of service was top-notch.
Food: The buffet breakfast was good and had a lot of variety. My favorite item was the fruit and veggie smoothies. Who knew bakchoy and mango blend well together? But it was the attentive staff that really made breakfast a great experience. We tried the 24-hour room service and I swear the chicken club sandwich was one of the best I’ve had in my entire life 5/5!
The lowlights:
Here are some reasons why we are not giving Crimson an excellent review.
1. Overpriced/low quality food in Saffron during ala carte dinner. Our first night we arrived in the evening and were hungry. For two people (our daughter is a toddler) we paid over 5000php for an appetizer, 3 entrees, one beer and one bottle of water. Honestly, the price would be ok for this amount of food if the quality was better. I would suggest Aka or Enye for higher quality food although we didn’t try either. Saffron was empty that night and we found out why.
2. Distance to places/sites. Crimson is quite far for shopping or eating at other restaurants. We hired a private car for 3 hours and was only able to visit two sites and one pasalubong store. Luckily it was only moderate traffic on that Saturday. 2500php for a sedan for 3 hours was reasonable.
3. The gift shop is waaaay overpriced. 950php for a small tube of sunblock seemed very high even at a resort. We also wanted some souvenirs, but there wasn’t much variety at all.
4. Our room needed some TLC. The paint in the nice tub was chipping, the caulking in the showers could use a refresh and there was a huge ipis (roach) in the closet. Luckily we spent most of the time outside the room.
5. No floaties or life vests for toddlers to use, even for rental. Despite having almost everything else, this would have been a nice touch.
6. We came to Cebu for mangoes and lechon, but Crimson didn’t offer these items and again, because of distance, it would have been nice to have some at the hotel.
The bottom line:
We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it to others, however we would give them our full review so they are aware of the pros and cons.
Thank you to the wonderful staff that made up for the minor issues we encountered!

GGuest UserHe went on to say that the swimming pool in this restaurant was not marked at a depth of 7 feet, so a lifeguard came to save people. The reason for this serious review is that I hope you won’t be like us and wasted two nights without seeing a whale. It took more than 5 hours of chartering a car from the Cebu Sheraton to make my head spin, but the result was still futile. Snorkeling for 200 pesos was just average. General. Maybe 90% of the occupancy rate is that everyone is making dumplings and gathering next to the only beach on the island. It's not a bad island, but the price/performance ratio is low and the transportation is inconvenient if you go from Cebu. The food wasn't great either. Whale watching depends on your luck.
AAngelica LoyolaMixed Experience at Maribago Blue Waters
Maribago Blue Waters has always held a special place in our hearts, as we’ve loved coming here since we were kids. However, during our recent stay, we noticed some areas that could use improvement.
While the more expensive rooms are definitely worth the price, the deluxe rooms at 7k don’t quite live up to expectations. They feel outdated, like they haven’t been updated in 20 years. The restaurant and spa are also quite pricey, especially the spa, which felt a bit too expensive for what it offers.
During weekends, the resort can get pretty crowded, likely due to the number of walk-in guests. However, the staff are super friendly and always make you feel welcome. One highlight of our stay was the amazing breakfast, offering a great variety from local Filipino favorites to international dishes. We especially loved the guy selling ”taho”—it brought back some wonderful childhood memories!
While we still have a soft spot for Maribago Blue Waters, it feels like some things need improvement to live up to the resort’s reputation.

TThe Black Asian JaCebu itself was a bit of a downer. However the hotel and staff were quite nice. The hotel grounds and beach was clean at all times but outside of the hotel was.. well.. unsightly and smelly if you plan to go for a walk. There are 2 nice restaurants nearby but if you plan to bring your food back or order take out by delivery, the hotel will charge you 250 pesos. The food at the hotel itself was okay, breakfast had lots of options and both restaurants at the hotel offered variety. The rooms were also spacious but their aren't any drapes so if you plan on sleeping in, that might be tough as you'll get up as soon as the sun rises. The walls are also thin and my first night was dreadful with a loud family next door. The staff did try their best to get them to quiet down which was appreciated. The pool and gym were also good and the pictures are a true representation of the hotel. Overall, the ambiance and light music was good and helped me to finish my 5000 word essay so that was great 👍

GGuest UserWhat an underwhelming experience staying at Movenpick Mactan. I had two reasons for booking at Movenpick after reviewing their website. I am a member of the loyalty program that Movenpick is associated. It wasn't until after I booked that I found out that the ACCOR Live Limitless loyalty program did not apply to this particular Movenpick hotel.
My wife and I were celebrating our birthdays as well as wedding anniversary so when I saw the Ibiza facility on the website we were excited that this would be a celebration/vacation to remember. We soon found out after arrival that the Ibiza precinct had been damaged in a typhoon 3 YEARS AGO (2021) and had not reopened. I questioned an executive about the possible misleading information on the website and was told that it takes about 1 year to remove it from the website (really????) and another year to have it uploaded again so it was left there offering an experience that wasn't there.
The breakfast buffet was very good and the staff at all outlets were friendly helpful and very courteous.
The same cannot be said of the snacks (spring rolls) near the pool that were served overcooked. The club sandwiches were delicious.
Our anniversary dinner Crispy Pata and Pochero were bland and not up to what we would expect from a five star hotel kitchen.
It was an underwhelming experience.
If you want filipino food then walk to the entrance and diagonally opposite is the Morning Glory restaurant which we visited and enjoyed a delicious array of filipino cuisine.

NNail Art in CebuWe had an amazing weekend getaway in Palm Beach Resort.
Location was ok. It wasnt the best location BUT it has a 711 just across the road and the hotel has a nice store in their lobby that sells snacks, drinks, swimsuits, swimming things, etc on a very reasonable price.
We originally booked a standard room but upon checking in, they upgraded us to a deluxe room which i was so grateful for. It was a nice, big room. It has a small balcony, tv with cable, split type aircon, 1 double bed, 1 single bed, 1 sofa, mini fridge, mini kitchen area (no utensils though just sink and electric kettle), and bathroom. The room itself was so nice however, the bathroom could have been thought better. Water pressure isnt that great especially if theres a lot of guests in the hotel. Im just a bit sad they didnt clean our room for the 3 days we stayed. Also, next door resorts might kinda be loud at night or during mornings.
The amenities were beautiful. They have 4 swimming pools: a small 2ft pool and 3 good sized pool thats 1x 4ft and 2x 5ft deep. Everywhere you go in their beach area has places to sit on. They have a small restaurant, a mini chapel, a small game room (billiards, foosball, and sungka), and my favorite: kid’s play area with slides and playhouse. Its a small resort but amenities were well thought of. They also have access to the sea. No beach though but stairs going to the sea water only.
The staff were nice. Very kind and accomodating.
Price per room is super duper worth it!! With how big the room is and amenities you and your kids can enjoy, its really great! As long as you are not that picky, then this resort is good for you.
Overall, we had a good time. My kids has a wonderful time. Will we stay here again? Why not. It sure is a nice resort.
PS: sorry not enough pics from the resort but you can check it from their listing or fb page. Thanks.

Moreover, it is somewhat overpriced for what you get. I don't mind paying good money for a good stay, but I'm not sure that the food, though good, is worth what one is charged.
We went to lunch at Azure by Crimson Resort and our bill was only slightly higher than at this resort. Considering that Crimson is a luxury resort and Azure has a 5-star rating, it seems a bit off. Also, be aware that you will be charged a 2000peso deposit per night.
It is also very far from everything else and the facilities close early. You are not allowed to order food on Grab or bring in any other food from the outside unless you're willing to pay 35% 'corkage fee'. A bit ridiculous. Also, they had a zumba class on the lawn next to the restaurant and played really loud music before 7am on a Saturday. It was really annoying.
It wasn't a bad stay. It was average. .

GGuest UserThe resort was hit and miss and left me with mixed emotions. Starting with having to fill out a form while still sitting in the taxi at the entrance gate and having to walk with my bags From the road to the front entrance of the lobby. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Facilities were quite nice with three pools and beautiful views. Rooms were clean, beds comfortable, and the hot water was on demand. There was limited staff. In a three night stay I never saw any maid service servicing any rooms on my floor and had to go looking for supply replacements. The food in the restaurant was hit and miss - good salmon, good tuna sandwiches, stay away from any salad and the club sandwich - and quite pricey. P420 for a basket of french fries. If you were sitting at a poolside table the view was great but you had to get up and go looking for the wait staff every time you wanted anything. No one ever came and checked on you. Everything, including the front desk, closed up at 9:30, lights off doors locked, so you couldn’t sit by the infinity pool in the evening and enjoy a beer and the night sky over the sea. it’s in a gated community and taxis struggle to find it. If you arrive after maybe 9 PM you can find the gates to the community closed and you may be walking the streets with your bags, not particularly comfortable nor safe. The facilities were well-maintained but the resort does not seem to be focused on the individual or small group spending a weekend and appears to be more interested in large functions.
