4-Star Hotels in Cebu

HONEST EXPERIENCE and Please read for the CONS🧡 Bluewater Sumilon Island is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful resorts we’ve visited. The private island setting, surrounded by clear waters, creates a unique and relaxing experience. We also appreciated that the resort provides complimentary boat transfers for checked-in guests. The transfer was smooth, organized, and only took around 15 minutes. Our room was spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with complete amenities and everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Although our assigned room was quite far from the main areas, the resort’s shuttle service helped make transportation easier. The food exceeded our expectations. Both dinner and breakfast were served buffet-style, offering a wide variety of choices. Everything was well-prepared and enjoyable. One of the highlights of our stay was the staff. The activity guides, lifeguards, restaurant staff, and service personnel were consistently warm, welcoming, and accommodating. They were approachable and attentive to our requests throughout our stay. We also had an unexpected medical situation involving one of our senior companions, and we were grateful that there was a nurse on duty. The assistance and care provided were professional and reassuring, especially since the incident happened in the evening. However, there were also areas that could be improved. Our experience with the reception staff was disappointing compared to the excellent service provided by the rest of the team. Communication felt rushed, and at times multiple guests were being addressed simultaneously, which came across as unprofessional and less welcoming. The resort shuttle service also seemed overwhelmed during peak hours. With many guests needing transportation around the island, waiting times became longer. Adding more service vehicles could significantly improve convenience, especially for seniors, children, and guests with mobility concerns. Our biggest concern was the lack of exclusivity despite the resort’s positioning as a premium private island destination. The resort accommodates a large number of day-tour guests who share many of the same facilities. As a result, areas such as the sandbar, swimming pools, and lounge spaces often felt crowded. There were times when finding available benches or fully enjoying the facilities became difficult because of the volume of day visitors. For a resort that markets itself as a luxury private island experience, this was quite disappointing. While we understand the value of day tours for the business, overnight guests paying premium rates should ideally enjoy a more exclusive experience and better access to resort facilities. Overall, Bluewater Sumilon Island offers stunning scenery, excellent food, comfortable accommodations, and outstanding service from most of its staff. However, improvements in guest exclusivity, transportation availability, and front desk service would greatly enhance the overall experience and better justify its premium pricing.

We enjoyed our room because its very quite, we have a business meeting online but the place was perfect giving us comfortable place to work. Plus, the place is near the airport. We stayed overnight because we need a fetch a family member in the airport. Maayo is perfect when you plan to be eqrly in the airport avoiding traffic.

I stayed a week and a half with my friend in Costabella. The staff was very friendly and helpful which made our stay excellent from the second we arrived at the hotel. Rooms were cleaned daily and water got refilled. The hotel has its own beach and swimming pools, an excellent dining hall and a restaurant with various delicious meals and drinks. Also there are water activities at the facility which requier extra payment which is also accessible, the kayak is free for use for 30min which is nice. This was our first visit to the Philippines and the hotel choice didn't disappoint. It felt like a paradise. I'm very thankful to the staff and the hard work they do, will miss our time in Lapu Lapu 🌸

The value for money is decent, but the hotel itself is quite old, and there's a slight musty smell in the hallways. Breakfast is pretty basic, just enough to meet fundamental needs. The location is okay, and for a one-night stay, I didn't have too many expectations anyway.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We always have such a wonderful experience staying here! ❤️ The resort is truly worth the price, especially for families with kids. There are so many amenities and activities that the kids really enjoy, making every stay fun and memorable. The staff are very accommodating, friendly, and welcoming to all guests. We also appreciate that the atmosphere is comfortable and not overly strict, so we can really relax and enjoy our time together as a family. The food is also delicious! 😋 Every time we stay here, we always leave happy and satisfied. This has become one of our favorite places to celebrate our kids’ birthdays and special occasions. 🎂🎉 That’s why we keep coming back! Thank you for always making our family stays enjoyable and memorable. We’ll definitely be back again! ❤️🏖️

The staff are friendly and helpful throughout my stay in Solea Mactan. Service is great and the amenities are top notch. Price is reasonable too! I will definitely recommend it to anyone travelling to Cebu. And we will be back again in the future! Thank you.

I've stayed here before and it became my favorite hotel, so I booked it again. The biggest draw of this hotel is undoubtedly the high-value resort experience it offers. This time, we booked the top-tier suite (triple room) for three people, and it was incredibly affordable at around 10,000 yen per person. The room was well-equipped, even having two toilets. Waking up in the morning and opening the window revealed a stunning view of the pool and blue sky, and breakfast allowed us to enjoy a resort-like meal while gazing at the beach and pool. If I had to pick a point for improvement, the slippers were reusable instead of disposable. It would be even better if disposable ones were provided. Other than that, it's a five-star hotel with absolutely no complaints.

I booked this hotel the day before for the second day of my quick trip to Cebu, after a friend recommended it for its good value. I'd say the value is indeed pretty good. Unfortunately, the day I happened to stay was a holiday, and the hotel next door was hosting some kind of event. It was like a festival from morning on, and a bit noisy, which was disappointing. That said, there are plenty of restaurants and other spots around, and it's relatively close to the airport, so I think it's not a bad choice overall.

Staying overnight in Cebu after taking a boat from Siquijor, before flying back to Hong Kong the next day. Took a Grab from the ferry terminal to the hotel, which wasn't far. Arrived a bit late, around 7 PM, so we decided to have dinner at the Holiday Inn CEBU CITY by IHG. The prices were reasonable, and the portions were generous. The hotel maintained the brand's usual standards. We even experienced our first fire alarm here, which turned out to be a false alarm. Dinner and the alarm incident caused a bit of a commotion. My child was very excited to experience a fire alarm at an overseas hotel for the first time, and we handled it calmly. The area around the hotel is quite bustling, and overall it was a good stay.
