Mountain View Hotels in Cebu

The rooms are clean and genuinely spacious, which was the highlight of the stay. The manageress is friendly and helpful, and the tuktuk service to town is reasonably priced and convenient. Breakfast was average—only American style, very standard, nothing special. A few things worth noting: I saw reviews saying there are no blankets and it gets cold at night. That isn't accurate—they do have blankets, but they're not kept in the rooms. You have to ask, and they'll provide them. A simple sign in the room letting guests know this would be an easy fix. On the positive side, when they learned we were going canyoneering, they offered us beach towels without us even asking, which was thoughtful. Overall, it's a decent stay. The basics are covered well, but don't expect luxury or variety at breakfast. Just be aware that if you need something, you need to speak up.

We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. What makes it truly special is its unique location: set on a small island just 10 minutes by boat from the mainland, it genuinely feels like being alone in the world. The setting is peaceful, charming, and beautifully secluded. The pool is lovely, the small beach is very enjoyable, and above all, the kindness of the staff is exceptional. The team is attentive, warm, and truly contributes to the overall experience. On the downside, because the island is quite isolated, dining options are limited to the hotel’s restaurant unless you take the boat back to the mainland. This makes both the room rates (even though the view is beautiful) and the food prices feel somewhat high. We were a family of five, added an extra bed, and requested early check-in, which significantly increased the final bill for our two-night stay. The total cost ended up being quite substantial. That said, we still had a wonderful time and keep very fond memories of our stay. It is a beautiful and special place overall.

Fantastic stay and real island getaway!  View and waters are amazing, food was included in our stay (breakfast and dinner) and there are many free activities to take part. The view are spectacular! The rooms were clean and spacious for 2 pax- can fit up to 4 pax.  Favorite activity was to fish from the lagoon and watch the baby shark (white shark) feeding at 1130am and chilling at the hammock infront of the rooms.  Massages are quality if you want some wave asmr as they are done in the outdoor huts but only can do 1 hour blocks and require quick booking/advance booking as the masseuses are limited.  wifi connections are good islandwise but it’s more of chillax resort. The rooms have netflix and youtube.  do bring some night snacks or simple lunch as their restaurants close early at 9pm and ferry out are only during the lunch time

We stayed here as a family (wife and 2-year-old child, 3 people total). We booked this hotel because we wanted to spend some relaxing time in a tropical hotel located amidst nature. **Location:** It takes about 2 hours to get here from the airport. It's best to arrange airport transfers through the hotel in advance. Grab wasn't available in this area, so we ended up eating all our meals at the hotel. **Food:** Breakfast offered delicious Filipino dishes. Lunch and dinner are also at the hotel, and they have a good variety of options including pizzas and pasta. The prices are a bit on the higher side. **Service:** The daytime staff were very kind and friendly. However, I wish the responses to pre-arrival communication were a bit faster. **Room:** The room was clean and spacious enough. The water pressure in the shower might be a bit weak. **Personal Opinion:** I highly recommend staying here at least once! However, I wouldn't advise traveling directly to and from the airport as it's quite far. If you had a rental car, you could go to nearby Carcar City for meals, which might be nice, but be careful driving as the roads are narrow.

Super convenient if you need to be near IT Park, Central Bloc, or Waterfront. 7-Eleven is right at the entrance of the building. Walking to IT Park is doable (around 8–12 minutes depending on which side you exit). At night the lane going down can feel a bit dark, so Grab is easier if you’re arriving late. The unit
Clean and modern. Comfortable bed, decent AC, working kitchenette (microwave, kettle, basic utensils). WiFi was stable. Some units have a nice view; others face construction or neighboring buildings so it depends which unit you get. Amenities
This is the main reason to stay here. The outdoor pool is one of the better ones in a Cebu condo — big enough that it doesn’t feel packed even when there are other guests. Gym and sauna are available (gym equipment can be hit-or-miss; some guests mentioned a treadmill being out of order). Lobby and common areas feel new and well-kept. What I liked • Pool and overall resort-style feel inside the city • Clean unit and good value compared to hotels in the same area • Easy access to food, coffee, and work spots in IT Park What could be better • Not all units come stocked with basics (soap, drinking water) — better to bring some or grab from 7-Eleven right away • Occasional construction noise depending on the unit and time of day • Security/staff experience varies by who is on duty Would I stay again?
Yes, especially for a few nights when I want a kitchen + pool without paying hotel prices. Just message the host beforehand about check-in time and what’s already in the unit so there are no surprises. Overall: 9/10 — solid choice in Lahug if you book a well-reviewed unit.

The hotel has an excellent location. The room is a spacious apartment with a kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, and toilet. It's a decent building, and the lady at the reception was wonderful. We left our luggage at the storage because we were leaving very early for an excursion, and everything went smoothly without any problems. Now for the downsides: on the ground floor of the building, there's a grocery store where we saw quite a few cockroaches. It's highly likely that the cockroaches in our room came from there, probably carried into the building by residents from the store. I counted 5 small cockroaches in the apartment during the evening. Also, the bed linen wasn't changed before our arrival; it was all wrinkled as if someone had slept on it, and I found hair and eyelashes on it. We had to sleep on top of the duvet without making the bed because we checked in late and had to get up very early for our excursion, so there was no time to sort out the bedding issue with the hotel staff. Overall, if they would update the towels (they are no longer white from age), set up cockroach traps, and of course, change the bed linen after every guest, this would be a decent place for its price. But for now, because of the dirty bed linen situation, I'm quite upset.

The reception was already unfriendly. The bungalow was relatively poorly equipped, the remote control for the air conditioning was faulty, low water pressure in the shower, no pool towels, no toiletries apart from a microscopic bar of soap. The view of the countryside was beautiful, but we had already enjoyed it extensively on our three-hour drive from Dalaguete. The grilled fish was killed twice, once by the fisherman's hand and once by its stay in the freezer for several months. The vegetable soup tasted of nothing, actually, just like the fish, inedible. We were not asked for drinks and the water, which we were allowed to fetch ourselves from a dispenser, was a good 30° warm. There were no other guests, the musicless dinner, bathed in the glaring light of the CCTV, gave the impression of a graveyard - completely desolate. We were charged 1200 pesos for this outrage. The impression of poor gastronomic service continued seamlessly at breakfast and culminated in the impertinence of wanting to charge 50 pesos for a second cup of coffee. We had booked for three nights and paid 21.1 Kpesos. I've never had worse value for money in seven months in the Philippines! After the first night, we packed our bags and left the resort. I will refrain from praising the beautiful pool or the great view due to the miserable overall performance. No recommendation.

Kitchen utensils were also available and I was able to stay without inconvenience. The water pressure in the shower is a little weak, but you can take a shower without any problems. It was very good.

Extremely clean with an amazing view! I felt safe and secure knowing there was always a luggage check at the entrance. The front desk staff were also very kind.

Tectona is a hidden gem and truly underrated. It offers a serene view overlooking the northern part of Cebu. The amenities are excellent, including an entertainment room, gym and a swimming pool, everything you could ask for. I will definitely come back again.
