Hotel Dengan Pools di Central Visayas, Philippines

The hotel is in a great location — very close to shops and only a short walk to the beach, which made getting around really easy. The pool was nice and clean, and while the gym was small, it was still manageable for a basic workout. The room came with lots of thoughtful amenities like toothbrushes and combs, which was a nice touch. Breakfast had a wide variety of options, so there was something for everyone. However, there were a few downsides. The shower didn’t drain properly and the toilet was clogged during our stay — although to their credit, the staff responded quickly and sent someone to fix the issues. The hotel also had a noticeable damp smell in some areas. Overall, the staff were kind and proactive, and the location is very convenient.

This hotel has an excellent location near the airport. Our room was spotless and comfortable. The team at the front desk was friendly and very helpful. Everything felt organized and welcoming. Highly recommended for travelers!

We enjoyed our 4 nights stay in savoy,though the rooms are not that spacious,but enough to move around with luggages, the food is also tasty, everyday they have different menus,the amenities and the view, on the 18th floor is wow...you can see the landscape of cebu by day and by night..memorable indeed..we enjoyed our pool and beach time too.. we will definitely come back again, all the staffs are so nice and polite..special thanks to the feont desk Jeremy, we enjoyed our last 2 nights stay because of him.

Good value for the price. Room faced SouthWest so got quite warm in the afternoon. Breakfast that was included is decent but not outstanding. Good location if you are planning to use public transportation since IT Park is a hub.

This is a quaint inn with a pool. The room was clean and comfortable.The linens were fresh smelling. The staff was helpful. The air-conditioning unit was a bit noisy, but adequate. The location is near Alona Beach. There are lots of restaurants, bakeries and massage shops nearby.

The restaurant supervisor and crew greeted my mom with a birthday song and a cake during our stay. It was nice for them to do that. The photographers also made a way for the complimentary photoshoot to push through despite the inclement weather; my mom liked the photos very much. You wouldn’t need to go far to eat or to buy daily needs or for pasalubong since there’s a mall with 7-11, pasalubong shops, and restaurants like Buzz by Bohol Fee Farm. For me, the best part of the resort is the beach itself, because the northwest corner of Panglao is less frequented by tourists, hence marine life thrives better here and it’s much more serene. I would like to come back here again. Thank you, Modala! 🫰

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.

Crimson Hotel has excellent staff, friendly service, and great facilities such as the bubble pool party on Saturdays and private beach snorkeling. The location is a bit far from the city, but the shuttle helps. Rooms are clean though somewhat dated, and dining in the hotel restaurants is pricey, with overall costs on the higher side.

Excellent hotel with great facilities. In house dinning, poolside bar and rooftop bar are great for unwinding. Front desk, housekeeping staffs show excellent professionalism. Nearby malls for other dinning options are within walking distance. Excellent stay at the hotel.

I have been using Costabella for nearly 20 years and have always considered it a pleasant, well maintained hotel. In fact I even got married here! However, during my most recent stay, the experience fell noticeably short of expectations. We booked a poolside room and, after check in, I was genuinely surprised to find that the room was on the third floor. Based on my many previous stays, I had always understood poolside rooms to be those adjacent to the pool at ground level. If you are booking a poolside room, be aware that this may not be the case and expectations should be managed accordingly. The room itself was a little dated in style, but it was clean, comfortable, and well looked after. Housekeeping was consistent throughout the stay, which helped offset the older décor. The pool area is relatively small but generally well maintained. Unfortunately, it was extremely crowded throughout the day due to the large number of day pass visitors. As a result, there were no chairs or loungers available for hotel guests for most of the day, which was disappointing. On a positive note, the beach area was clean and pleasant. The food was the main let down. The buffet breakfast would rate no more than 4 out of 10. Much of the food had not been replenished, including empty juice and coffee stations, and what remained was cold and unappetising. However, it was better on the second day. Dinner was equally disappointing. Several main courses were served cold and had to be sent back to the kitchen twice. In the end, we cancelled two seafood dishes altogether, as reheating raised concerns about food quality and safety. The steak, which was once a highlight of Costabella for me, was extremely tough and far below the standard I have previously enjoyed. Overall, Costabella still has many positive qualities, but this stay did not reflect the standards I have previously associated with the resort and this will be my last visit. Unless the quality of the food and the management of guest capacity improve, I would find it difficult to recommend Costabella based on this recent experience.
