Hotel Romantic di Central Visayas, Philippines

Everything in this hotel works well except the food. I ordered room service and the quality of the food was not what I expected. The veggie kare-kare tasted like plain stir fry. The salted dried fish fried rice did not taste like there was dried fish at all. Buffet breakfast options were very limited. The tastes of the food that claims to be Cebuano are just sad. I hope they do something about their food quality because the people here are just wonderful. Concierge, reception, housekeeping, F&B... they are wonderful! The rooms are great too! I went there to relax after two weeks of back-to-back illness and I mostly stayed in the room to sleep and watch the French Open. Great bed and pillows! Shower pressure is perfect and the toiletries are complete and well stocked. There is access to a private beach and there is a sauna and pool on the second floor. I just really hope they make improvements with their food.

The hotel is truly impressive, with breathtaking views that make every moment feel special. The private beach is a standout feature: peaceful, well-maintained, and perfect for snorkelling. Dining at the penthouse was a highlight, especially the pizza, which was exceptional. In fact, every restaurant in the hotel served delicious food, offering a consistently high standard across the board. What made the experience even better was the staff, who were warm, attentive, and genuinely pleasant throughout the stay.

We enjoyed our overnight stay at Savoy. The staff are very accommodating, the room is clean as well as the surroundings. Fast food/ stalls (jollibee, mcdo, 7eleven, starbucks,etc.) are also very accessible.

Bayfront Hotel North Reclamation offers an excellent location, especially for travelers who want easy access to major malls and transport hubs. It provides great value for money, making it a practical choice for both short stays and business trips. The rooms are on the smaller side, but they are clean, well-maintained, and comfortable enough for a pleasant stay. Breakfast is decent, with enough variety to start your day, though it may not stand out compared to larger hotels. Overall, it’s a convenient and budget-friendly option, ideal for guests who prioritize location, cleanliness, and affordability over spacious accommodations.

We stayed at Henann Alona Resort as a family. The staff were very courteous and helpful. The foods are good lots of selections, and the location is perfect, with the surrounding pools is amazing my kids love it, they have kids and adult pool and what i love in the pool its not crowded worth the money, and our premier  room is big and the view is the pool. Good for family and friends outing.

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.

🌟 **A Perfect 4-Night Getaway – Peaceful, Clean, and Exceptional Service!** 🌟 I recently stayed at this hotel for 4 nights and 5 days, and I can confidently say it was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable experiences we’ve had in a long time.

Out room was maintained every day, with fresh linens, a sparkling bathroom, and a tidy layout that made it feel like home. 🤝 **Service:** The staff were incredibly kind and attentive. Whether it was the front desk helping with check-in, housekeeping ensuring everything was perfect, , every interaction was warm and professional. They truly went above and beyond to make sure guests felt cared for. 🌿 **Peace and Quiet:** One of the best parts of the stay was how quiet and serene the environment was. Despite being in a convenient location, the hotel felt like a peaceful retreat. We slept soundly every night without any disturbances, and the calm atmosphere made it easy to unwind and recharge. ✅ **Final Thoughts:** If you're looking for a clean, quiet, and well-serviced hotel for a multi-day stay, this is the place to be.We left feeling refreshed and grateful for such a pleasant experience. Highly recommended, and We’ll definitely be coming back!

Staying at Oceanica was a great experience who wants to escape the bustle city life.... the views of the beach, garden and mini forests were quite calm and relaxing. If you want to get moving just head to the recreation and fitness facility... If you re hungry just head to the restaurants and bars, and enjoy the delicious foods and refreshing drinks. Room is clean and spacious.. staffs are courteous and nice. Will come back again, next time will tag along our kids.

We arrived at the hotel at 4am and was told that we have to pay a full day's rate instead of the early check in rate of 1000 pesos that we are communicated earlier, as the early check in timing is supposed to be 8am. We paid for it as we were so tired from the flight. It would be good if the hotel had given us some discount since its just a few hours from the early check in timing. Room was fantastic and clean, spacious enough for luggages and movement. There is a long dressing table and a side ledge along the windows, perfect for us to put our stuffs. Bathroom has hand shower, which is perfect for us. Only thing is the bidet, too painful to use with its small but powerful jets lol. Thank you to the hotel for giving us a connecting room for our friends as we are in a group of 5. Breakfast was great with a lot of variety and at a reasonable price, in fact it is better than another hotel's breakfast which was priced more steeply. Hotel staffs were polite and hospitable, response was fast when we called for extra toiletries in the room. Ayala mall was across the road from the hotel, but the only challenge was crossing that road. Concierge was very helpful with our luggages upon arrival and departure. In all, it's a great stay and I would definitely recommend my friends to stay there!

After reading the description on the hotel website, seeing the pictures and reading the reviews, I have to admit that we were quite disappointed. We booked the „Royal Bungalow“ located directly at the private beach of the resort for 3 nights . The description promised: „With only 4 Royal Bungalows available, you’ll experience a heightened level of privacy and personalized service during your stay.“ We did not experience any personalized service or privacy. The beach was very crowded and noisy and people were having their picnic directly in front of our veranda. We also had the impression that there were quite a few day-guests at the beach. On the second night, the dinner was at the beach in front of our bungalow, with music blasting until 9pm, which wasn’t so nice with little children who wanted to sleep. On the third day, there was even a bouncing castle with a noisy motor next to the veranda (see pictures for the view from our bungalow). Our understanding of privacy and exclusivity differs considerably from what we experienced. Also, on the first day, our bungalow was only cleaned at 5 pm, even though we put the „please clean“ sign at 9:30. In addition, the service during dinner and breakfast was not very pleasant. The staff was not very attentive and our order for drinks was forgotten at 3 different occasions. There was not even a word of excuse when we kindly asked were our order was. Maybe it was because the main restaurant was closed for renovations and food was always served either at the beach or the pizza restaurant. After the first night, we asked whether it was possible to reserve a table for the next two nights, which was kindly promised to be arranged. Unfortunately, on both nights they forgot about it. On the plus side, there were 2 shows during our stay during dinner, which was pretty cool and there is always life music. The Oyster bar at the beach is great and the staff there was amazing. Also, the gym is good and there are 3 pools at the resort, one with a slide, which tb kids really enjoyed. The resort itself is very nice designed work small huts and a lot of green. Also, upon request, they extended the offer to a complementary airport transfer as this would have been included in a booking via Their website (and not via trip.com). One last thing, which I found quite strange was that - even though we had a full board offer via Trip.com - they tried to charge all buffet food (apart from breakfast) to us. I don’t know whether this was on purpose or just bad management, but it kinda added to the overall not too great experience. Once they adapted then the bill, they tried to charge the airport transfer - overall I felt quite uncomfortable during the check-out. To summarise: It was okay to stay there, the resort is nice. The service did not really live up to the promise. You should be aware that it is quite a large resort.
