Hotels met ontbijt in Cebu

Mijn verblijf in Bai Hotel Cebu was niets minder dan uitzonderlijk. Het biedt een perfecte mix van moderne luxe, uitstekende service, en geweldige waarde. Of u nu voor zakenreizen of vrije tijd, het heeft alles wat u nodig hebt voor een comfortabele en aangename verblijf. Twilight Dachdeck Lounge + Bar - Dit was mijn favoriete plek. Het dakpool en de bar bieden prachtige uitzichten op de Cebu City skyline. Ik heb hier een laatmiddag verbleven en de vibe, muziek en atmosfeer waren perfect voor ontspanning. Het is ook dichtbij het beroemde Rico Lechon Restaurant Ik zou het Bai Hotel Cebu zeer aan iedereen die het gebied bezoekt, en zal het zeker op mijn volgende reis naar Cebu weer kiezen.

We verbleven zes nachten in een kamer met een keuken als onderdeel van een ouder-kind uitwisselingsprogramma, met twee volwassenen en een zesjarige. Er was een grote supermarkt in de kelder en een buurtwinkel en verschillende restaurants die tot laat open waren op de begane grond. De kamer was erg schoon en we hebben geen insecten gezien. Alle benodigde keukengerei was aanwezig en het personeel waste de afwas af bij het schoonmaken van de kamer. Er was een waterfles van 4 liter, wat erg handig was. Het bed was echter een tweepersoonsbed, dus het was een beetje krap, zonder ruimte voor een extra bed. Er was wel een babybedje en een slaapbank, dus dat was te doen. Er was ook een wasmachine, wat handig was, maar de droogfunctie was zwak, dus je moest je kleding aan hangers drogen. Er is geen aparte droogfunctie. Dus als je er langer verblijft, is het handig om hangers te hebben om je kleding te drogen. Ik had de gelegenheid om in een andere maisonette-achtige kamer met keuken te verblijven. Het bed was ruim en er was een badkuip, dus ik kan het zeker aanraden. Het ontbijt was heerlijk en gevarieerd, met een ruime keuze aan brood, Filipijnse gerechten, westerse gerechten en pap, dus ik heb me er geen moment op verveeld. Het zwembad had ook een fijne sfeer, en hoewel de fitnessruimte bij het zwembad erg klein is, was het prettig dat ik steeds heen en weer naar het zwembad kon lopen. Er is ook alcohol verkrijgbaar. Omdat het hotel op de 9e verdieping ligt, was het 's avonds wel een beetje winderig en fris. Het personeel was erg vriendelijk en ik heb een geweldige ervaring gehad.

We booked two rooms for 7 nights at the Sheraton Cebu Mactan. We are two families traveling together with three young children and a pregnant wife. We were excited for a relaxing vacation, but after just 4 days, we wanted to check out early. The hotel agreed to refund only one room (around 900–1000 USD), but refused to refund the second room. This decision was made even though the hotel is completely full (Chinese New Year, peak season). Our rooms could have been sold to other guests immediately, so there was no financial risk to the hotel. Why We Wanted to Leave Early: 1. Food Issues (Very Important for Muslim Families) The hotel is in an isolated location with no restaurants nearby. The on-site restaurants serve mostly spicy Asian food, often containing pork. As Muslim families with young children, we cannot eat spicy food or pork. This made every meal a struggle. 2. Transportation (A Nightmare) Getting a taxi is extremely difficult. · When we wanted to leave the hotel to go to the city, we often waited over an hour for a taxi. · When we tried to return to the hotel from the city (like Cebu), we waited up to 2 hours because drivers refuse to come to this hotel. · Even within the Mactan area, finding a taxi was not easy. · The hotel offers a transfer service, but it costs 2–3 times more than a regular taxi. For a family, this is not a practical solution. 3. Maintenance Issues On the very first day, we reported that the sink was clogged – water drained very slowly. We were promised it would be fixed. After 3 days, nothing had been done. On day 3, I personally told the General Manager, Mr. Robin Bernard, about the problem. He said: ”No problem, I will solve it.” But even after his promise, nothing happened. Finally, on day 4, housekeeping came to our room. We showed them the problem by running the water. They saw it immediately and called an engineer, who fixed it within 20 minutes. Mr. Bernard's promise meant nothing. The regular staff fixed it. Our Conversation with Management We requested an early checkout. Mr. Ross Bautista genuinely tried to help us. He suggested a possible refund for one room and arranged a meeting with his superior to discuss our case. That meeting was with General Manager Robin Bernard. Here is what happened: · He claimed he ”knew the situation”, but could not explain any details. We had to tell him everything again: about the children, the pregnant wife, the food, the transportation. · Throughout the conversation, he was arrogant and condescending. It felt like he was not listening, just waiting for us to finish. · We explained that the hotel was fully booked (Chinese New Year, peak season), so letting us leave early would not hurt his business. The rooms would be sold again immediately. · His response was shocking. He looked at us and said, word for word: ”You should not think about my business. It's my concern.” Then, one minute later, when we asked for understanding, he said: ”I have to think about my business.” There is no logic. It felt like he just wanted to show his power and punish us for asking. The result? Nothing changed. Ross Bautista tried, but his hands were tied. Robin Bernard simply confirmed his original decision and showed zero empathy. As long as Mr. Robin Bernard is the General Manager, we will never return to this hotel. His arrogance, empty promises, and complete lack of care for families with children and special dietary needs are destroying the reputation of this Sheraton. To other Muslim families or anyone traveling with young children: I strongly recommend choosing a different hotel. Here, your needs will be ignored if the manager does not feel like helping.

De kamers waren schoon en zeer goed uitgerust (met airco, ventilator, grote tv en comfortabele bedden). Het ontbijt was internationaal en zeer goed. Ik vond de kwaliteit van het fruit en de sappen bijzonder opmerkelijk. De zwembaden en het strand waren schoon en ruim en de tropische tuinen waren altijd goed onderhouden en lieten een zeer goede indruk op mij achter. Het enige zwakke punt is de lange reis van de hoofdweg naar de receptie als je het hotel wilt verlaten of weer moet verlaten...

I recently stayed at Bluewater Maribago and had an overall pleasant experience. The resort offers a relaxing atmosphere with strong hospitality standards and several standout features, though there are also areas that could benefit from improvement. What I Liked 1. Excellent service and hospitality, especially at the Oyster Bar. The staff were attentive, warm, and professional, which truly elevated the dining experience. 2. Newly refurbished modern rooms that feel fresh, clean, and well-designed for comfort. 3. Convenient buggy service around the property, which makes getting around easy and enjoyable. 4. Lifeguards stationed at all pools and swimming areas, providing reassurance and a strong sense of safety for guests. 5. Anuma Spa’s ambience and treatment selection, which offer a relaxing environment with a wide range of spa services to choose from. Areas for Improvement 1. Breakfast management during peak hours needs significant improvement. Around 8:30 AM, the breakfast area becomes very busy, and food replenishment is slow. For example, while there are three hot steamers dedicated to eggs, bacon — a hot favorite — is served on a small plate that gets wiped out within seconds. Food supply and quality control during peak periods should be better managed to ensure consistency. The bread selection, however, is excellent and deserves recognition. 2. Security procedures may unintentionally compromise guest privacy. Guests are frequently asked to state their room number when leaving the lobby, and again when entering through the guardhouse — first to taxi drivers and then to security officers. This means multiple strangers may overhear room numbers, which raises safety and privacy concerns. A more discreet verification process would enhance guest security. 3. Spa promotions for in-house guests are lacking. While the spa experience is excellent, there are currently no exclusive perks for staying guests. Introducing options such as an early bird discount (e.g., 10:00 AM–3:00 PM) or curated half-day and full-day “head-to-toe recharge” packages would be attractive. The spa pricing is relatively high compared to comparable standard spas outside the hotel, so value-added incentives for in-house guests would make the experience even more appealing. Overall, Bluewater Maribago offers a comfortable and well-maintained resort experience with strong service standards. With improvements in breakfast management, privacy-focused security procedures, and enhanced spa promotions for in-house guests, the resort could further elevate its guest experience.

Voor de t****e keer ingecheckt, maar dit keer voor 3 nachten. Laten we ons meer concentreren op de voorzieningen/faciliteiten (strand, sportschool en eten) De pendeldienst rijdt nu elk uur vanaf het schrijven van deze recensie. Savoy en Belmont hebben een optimale oplossing gevonden voor de afstand van het strand. Vraag altijd aan de receptie hoe laat de volgende shuttle-ophaaldienst is. Er zijn twee soorten voertuigen, een modern busje (belmont) en een traditionele jeep (savoy), die om de beurt gasten ophalen en afzetten. Het strand biedt uitzicht op de zonsopgang, dus voor mensen die de beste bruine lijnen willen krijgen, moeten jullie vroeg in de ochtend zijn. Ondertussen zijn hier foto's van 13.00 tot 17.00 uur te zien met zeer goede schaduwrijke delen en hoogtij. Verwacht geen superfijn zand, de kustlijn heeft grote rotsen, maar het is beheersbaar. Op een bepaald uur van de dag is het water helder en zijn kleine vissen zichtbaar. Ga zwemmen in de middelste delen waar geen minimale rotsen aanwezig zijn, maar zodra je een duik neemt, zul je de koude en hete stroming die door je lichaam stroomt waarderen. Uniek en ontspannend gevoel. De sportschool is optimaal, als je verstand hebt van dumbbells dan ben je blij met het zwaarste gewicht van 50kg. Het cardiogedeelte kijkt uit op het zwembad. Machines zijn beheersbaar, goed om gewoon een pomp te krijgen. Het eten dat gedurende 3 nachten wordt geserveerd, is vrijwel hetzelfde als mijn vorige recensie. Filipijns-Amerikaans ontbijt. Doordeweeks is het fris, maar in het weekend wordt het erg druk. Verblijf je dus op een doordeweekse dag, dan krijg je nog steeds volle borden en kommen te zien. In het weekend een ander verhaal. Eén hack is dus dat je van 06.00 uur tot 08.00 uur moet gaan om de verschillende keuzes te zien. De mentaliteit van de meeste mensen zal ervoor kiezen om van 9.00 tot 10.00 uur te gaan, zodat ze zich tot de lunch vol voelen. Raad eens, wat je op die momenten natuurlijk zult zien zijn lege borden en kommen. Haha Het eten dat op het strand wordt geserveerd is oké. Iets om je maag mee te vullen. De bestsellers hebben de voorkeur, het kan beter. Bij de vaste menu's is een drankje inbegrepen.

We boekten de 4 nachten in het hotel omdat het op loopafstand van het winkelcentrum Robinson en andere eetgelegenheden ligt. We boekten het hotel voornamelijk om te slapen, omdat onze tours al heel vroeg in de ochtend begonnen. De boeking is inclusief ontbijt, maar aangezien we vertrekken voor rondleidingen voordat het ontbijt opengaat, heeft het personeel ons elke dag broodjes en koffie ingepakt. Kamer is schoongemaakt en comfortabel zoals op foto's. Zou dit hotel de volgende keer boeken. Trouwens, we raden de Thewi Thai-massage daar in de buurt aan.

Perfect resort for a getaway, with friendly and super helpful staff! We had a great time there!

Stayed with my toddler for one night. Hotel room was great and clean but their service sucks. I requested to borrow utensils but they never came. Aqua play was closed due to maintenance. Playroom was not free for the type of booking that I availed which sucks cos it says on the fine print that it’s free. It made my toddler so disappointed cos of wrong info. Beach was dirty and low tide when we came. Swimming pool was dirty. The only highlight i guess was the breakfast buffet, lots to choose from and delicious.. but overall it’s kid friendly, although we just came in at the wrong time. Some facilities needs some maintenance and some Korean guests needs to know where the trash bin is located. Ts

I had a hot, uncomfortable disappointed, and we were in utter shocked that the room I booked was not in their system. As I was rebooking, it was not the same as the first booking then blacked out occured. During the blacked out the my booking end up with only a bed in dorm style quarters, public bathroom and no privacy. My first booking was a package trip from Cebu to Manila which still in a wrong date. The actual date for the flight was to be on August 19 @ 9:50 but the three agent that I spoke to on the 18th got my hotel canceled and only provided me a rebooked solution. Sure, I can rebooked, thank so much for making my simple trip into **************** with my family, along withy impatient high functioning autism, 24 years old son who doesn't like his iPad to be low battery and no wifi. To remind you that the black out still happening, so during my aunty and son lunch the black still going. I have no idea what kind of menu and price for food and drinks. As I saw the server put the first plate of food, I was shocked to see the mountain square shape nacho cheese beyond understanding. My aunty is only 90 to 100 pounds. She doesn't speak English and doesn't understand what she ordered, so she asked question about salad and a slice of pizza. But that not what the server brought, he came out again carrying nacho cheese, same size as the first nacho cheese/beef, except the second is chicken then a whole large Canadian bacon pizza. I couldn't believe the amount of food that was ordered then a Red Bull for my autistic son? My aunty was repeatedly saying that she only want salad and a slice pizza then water. What she really wanted the cook and server wanted to do is take away all the food back including the Red Bull. Oh, one more set of food, two big pieces of Burrito. The hotel is still in black out and stuffy hot and dark. The staff are not good listener. My son started eating and drinking the Red Bull, when I saw him, I told the staff that Red Bull straight might kill him of a heart attack. I also mentioned that my son doesn't know self control when it comes to food which is called glutenny . He already pass his regular weight. I heard my aunty said that my son ordered all the food; she had no idea what he was ordering. Meanwhile the black out still continuing till around 5:30 pm, every building around the area has their electricity back on but not the Papabo. Our booking still in process. The manager charged me for the lunch even though the mistake was the their service, taking order from an autistic person instead of asking his parents. The manager decided to booked us in the one room that has two bunk bed, private bathroom and has windows cause still black out. The room is stuffy and hot, it's on the fourth floor, no elevator and dark to go up the stairs. We decided to lock up our things in the room cause still black out. My aunty over heard that the electricity bill was not paid. So as soon as I got down. The manager charged me 1500 pesos cash plus 1200 pesos for lunch that I only got to eat two slices of pizza and a couple of bite of nacho beef. I didn't get to have the burritos. The Papabo manager quickly went to pay for their electricity bill after she spoke to the owner. My aunty and me went to the beach. I for sure locked the bedroom and still no electriçity. My son went to 7/11 to charge the iPad. We got back at the hotel at 8:30 or so and the electricity was on and my son also in the in the hotel. Do recognized that the hotel keys was an actual key, and I only have the key with. In my surprised our bedroom door was wide open, our things are scattered on the chair and table. Now, just today at this time, I'm still looking for my necklace that has my Mom piece of earing, my oldest son alligator tooth pendant and my initial pendant A. I'll call the hotel when I finished looking at our things here.Yap, my necklace is missing.
