Romantic Hotels in Central Visayas, Philippines

Not the first time staying here, and will go back again. Location is perfect, all the necessities can be found within a walking distance. Amenities: All the important amenities are available except for hand towels and you have to beg for towels and pretty much the replenishment of amenities after the room is cleaned, far different from the last time when it was still Belmont. First room we were given had a very mouldy smell and which gave the kids and I instant headaches. They eventually changed it after about 4 hours of waiting and intervention by Trip.com. This really put a damper on things. Breakfast: Great, the variety is good, but it’s the same pretty much everyday. The beach: Within 5 minutes walk, but don’t you dare lose of misplace the beach pass paper tag, they’re very uptight about it. The beach if not the best beach, very rocky which makes swimming pretty uncomfortable. However, the pool area is awesome and there are sun loungers all around and that makes up for the unpleasant beach. They provide swimming towels too! I must say it has developed a lot since the last time I was here and I can only hope they will keep improving.

Conveniently close to the airport and offers airport pickup and drop-off services. Rooms have all the basic necessities.

It was one of the best hotel/resort that I have ever stayed! That’s why it was very busy and crowded but in a good way. It has a great location; near airport and not far from the city proper and they have nearby beach. Their opportunity for improvement is perhaps the food. But overall we enjoyed our stay.

This is one gem in the heart of Panglao away from hustle and bustle if you want a quiet holiday. Family friendly that has everything you need. Good variety buffet breakfast and bar cocktail in the swimming pool. Walk further at the back and you’ll be at the beach but the beach seems polluted because of so many boats docked there and since it is the pick up point for island hopping. Be careful walking in the water as the area is sea urchins nest. Locals collect them in the afternoon and sell to passers by. Very nice for sunset photo shoots. The rooms of the hotel is descent in terms of size and very clean. Bathroom is well supplied and even an outdoor rubber slippers are provided. Swimming pool is regularly cleaned and heated. Reception area is very cozy and can be humid since this is not an airconditioned room. Staff are warm and very accommodating from the reception to front man and in buffet area. You can choose Tuktuk or Grab for transportation to go to Alona beach which is the heart of Bohol were you can shop, dine, drink and stroll. This is kinda little Boracay.

Lovely stay! Beautiful hotel, with fabulous pools and direct access to a pristine beach with stunning sunsets. Service was also really good. Tons of restaurants to eat within walking distance. Top class place! My only suggestion is to install coffee machines for breakfast - espressos and cappuccinos are not complimentary, only brewed black coffee is served.

Great location right on the beach with really nice sand and with lovely staff too.  However, the bed was really uncomfortable and am on pain killers as a result!… not acceptable for a £600 room. The food wasn’t exactly great either, though this is to be expected outside of major cities.

Everyone working at the resort were very helpful. Sometimes we had to queue between 10-15 minutes to be seated for breakfast and some of the food that ran out took time to be replaced. My friends ate at the oyster restaurant. The oysters were tiny, there were no side dishes available and they waited nearly an hour to receive a drink. The Oyster bar closes at 10pm so if you want a drink you must be there by 9.30pm. The pina colada’s were my favourite. There is another 24 hour bar. We went out on the water for an island hop with bbq and parasailing and both times the guys on the boats were very attentive and cooked excellent food. I used the spa twice. First for a manicure. They had to request an external beautician and because of the busy traffic after 1.5 hours they hadn’t arrived and I cancelled. On another day I had a massage and facial. The facial was all natural ingredients eg) honey and was heavy handed. Some spa etiquette needed improving eg) leaving the door open during the treatment and the therapist standing in the room whilst I got dressed.

Swift check-in and check-out process. The property is secure as keycards are needed to enter the gate. The rooms are clean and have daily housekeeping. The walls are quite thin so noises from outside pierce through, and the aircon and shower heater in my room need a bit of fixing. Overall, this is value for money and would be my go-to accommodation every time I'm in Cebu.

I had a fantastic time staying at The Reef Resort! The staff are so friendly and helpful, the rooms are spacious and clean and the resort have enough activities to keep you busy. I would definitely recommend this resort to family and friends. The breakfast buffet every morning was good with assorted choices. You can snorkel infront of the resort with so many different kind of fish, I was amazed! The resort even packed me a breakfast box when I had to leave early in the mornings for activities. They also have a great SPA with great treatments! A well equipped gym overlooking the ocean. Thank you for making my stay unforgettable!
