Make every moment even more special and book Seargao Seaview cafe for your next event. The cafe itself is definitely Instagram-worthy with its aesthetic exterior and interior design. The place has a cozy and homey feel because of the color combination of white, cream, and brown. Other details, like plants hanging from the ceiling, give the cafe even more life. Looking at the cafe from the outside, it sports a beach bungalow design which is perfect since it is situated in front of the sea. #beachlife #foodie #mytripvlog #cafe #celebratewithtrip #tripblazers #campingglamping

The town in Argao also boasts for its beautiful beaches not to mention, pre hispanic and hispanic structures. There are a lot more activities in this place and looking for a place to stay is so easy as there are a lot of hotels in the areas too like the Sea Breeze Hotel. They have a huge swimming pool for you to take a plunge or you can bath by the beach or by the sea. What I love most is that they have complete kitchen amenities including stoves so you can bring your own groceries and cook your own food too. They also have a huge villa that can accommodate 20 persons in one roof!

The food is superb! Service is good. The atmosphere is EXCELLENT!!! Minor setbacks but can be improved: Order taking and calling of orders to kitchen should be done properly (one of the food we ordered is a bit late due to errors in kitchen orders), and the portion of food is also lil bit smaller. But all in all, we had a great time! 😊 A very nice place to dine with a sea view in the corner. Their food was all good but i think it's a bit pricy with the amount of servings that they have; compared to the other restaurants that I went to. Their staffs were all approachable and kind. And overall it was a good experience dining here. The place is without a doubt aesthetic and instagrammable. Great lighting in almost everywhere, with a lovely scenery. A cafe by the sea is such a great concept, except they don’t serve coffees. #beachlife #foodie #urbanexplorer #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer

Maayo Argao locals are very nice and accomodating. Our experience over night was so awesome and they granted us to checkout late, however when the manager from Minglanilla Cebu Jason arrived and oversee the reception he scolded the staff for this matter. He did not only humiliate the staff infront of us verbally but even ruining our last time for this uncomfortable situation. Their issue should have been settled in the back office. Respect should be always be present regardless. Nice place to relax but doesn’t have a nice seashore. Just a bay with a view. Rooms are somewhat on a pre-fab building, so you can hear the noise of your neighbors and outside. Food is good. But if you’re from Cebu City not worth the drive, there are other better resorts with a beautiful seashore and white sand. Customer service is excellent at least. The pool and view is very good, but the room little bit far in the pool area and the restaurant very hard to order because they don't have phone in the room and they no give us room service if you want to order in there restaurant we need to pick up in the restaurant and bring in our room the service is very no good very hard to find the staff because far in the room and there staff very few only cannot find haha. Not recommend for the kid specially already gave senior in the family #beachlife #foodie #tripblazers #urbanexplorer #awesomepic

Argao, a first class municipality in the Province of Cebu is one of the favorite tourist destinations in the south. It boasts white sand beaches, luxury resorts, heritage sites to name a few. And when it comes to waterfalls, this renown town of Argao has it’s share of this nature’s beauty. Barangay Anajao, Argao-Cebu. This is accessible through Barangay Taloot, Argao and is a 25-minute Car or Motorbike ride from the N.Bacalso National Road going towards the access road leading to the Municipality of Ronda-Cebu. If you start-off at Poblacion, Argao, that should be a 40-minute Car/motorbike ride.

A testament of faith for the deep devout and solemn place. It’s amazingly huge. Well tucked in a local place. Be prepared to cover up but no worries for there are scarves for sale outside. Lots of mementos from miraculous healings. There is a route to kiss/pray to the virgin. A few minutes drive from Oslob for orientation on the location. As a holy place it attracts many people to pray, very many, so if you want to pray at specific altar you will be lining up for a bit. The toilets there were very clean; The rest of the place offers lots of photo opportunities. There are Restaurants outside. I think it’s worth a visit, it would a shame to be in Cebu and miss out such a place in the world.

We stayed for one night in a room with a garden view. The room was beautifully appointed and the king sized bed was a dream to sleep in. Staff added an extra bed at minimal cost which also included breakfast for the guest. The gardens are beautifully maintained and a pleasure to stroll in. The pool side bar and restaurant were well maintained and the staff extremely helpful. It was a very restful experience and a beautiful place to stay.

Alex Kafw serves coffee, refreshments comfort food lovingly served in Poblacion, Argao Cebu. Rustic ambience, clean restrooms, affordable prices. Alex was serving as Argao Tourism commissioner when he passed away at a young age, in 2009. He saw the potential of the town's rich cultural heritage to bolster its economic development by becoming one of Cebu's top tourism destinations. Areas in the southern half of Cebu possessed numerous places and activities of interest not only to local tourists but even for those coming from all over the world. Argao has the largest area for heritage. Barangay Poblacion alone has 60 historical sites that date back to the Spanish colonial period, that are not only well preserved but currently in active use. Though he spent many summer vacations as child in Argao, he finally made Argao his home when he moved his family there for good in 2002 and he opened a diner in an abandoned bodega in Poblacion together with his wife Eva . He called the shop the "Alex Kafe", using the unique spelling with the letter "K", to honor his heritage as a Kintanar, a well-known family in Argao.#café #café ##unforgettableexperiences #scenicspotguide #travelinspiration #summervacation

A bit far but definitely worth the trip. The highlight was breakfast, where they served plenty of food, and we absolutely loved it. Rooms are clean, service is quick. The staff is good, friendly, and very accommodating. The food is great, the ambiance is pleasant, and the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend this resort.

My family and I absolutely loved the resort and the staff! It felt so peaceful to be there. We really appreciated how organized everything was, especially the rooms. We booked two rooms, and they truly felt like home. Although they were a bit far from the pool, the staff quickly arranged a shuttle for us every time. Thank you for making our stay so comfortable. We’re already looking forward to coming back! Also, thanks for helping us during our kayak ride, even though we had no clue how to paddle. Hahaha!

3-week Vacation (April 8-29, 2026) @ Argao Cebu #staycation #familytravel #resorts #foodjourney

I had a very pleasant and memorable stay at Maayo Hotel Argao. I stayed in their spacious Villa. The place is not crowded, peacefully quiet, and perfect for relaxation. All the staff were accommodating, and I was assisted by the very kind and gorgeous Ms. Kyla Bhabe, who is undoubtedly one of the most exceptional hoteliers I've met. I also want to thank France and James for taking care of us during breakfast. The food was exceptionally delicious, and I loved the tidy and spacious pool, which was perfect for sunbathing and night swimming. I'll definitely stay here again soon! 🥰

We were so lucky to visit this beach in Cebu in a perfect weather!
