Hotels with Swim-up Rooms in Philippines

We had the room with the plunge pool. I loved the space inside and out.

The beautiful Crimson Resort, in operation for over three years, has perfected the art of customer service and hospitality. Every member of the staff was warm, friendly and available to help in any way to make our stay exceptional. Grace, Justin or Nicki checked in with us daily to see if there was anything we needed, any arrangements they could help with. Our room (101-pool villa) was perfectly located overlooking the pool and beach area. The bed was comfortable; the rainshower lovely, and the living room with access to deck and pool...lovely. Food at any of the restaurants was delicious. Our favorite meals and sunset drinks were at Mosaic Restaurant. We commend the general manager and all the staff for such a well run resort.

The buffet breakfast was great. Good selection of foods. I really like their desserts and bread. The Crimson pool was great as well, they have the main pool and the infinity pool. The beach experience is superb as well, love the pristine water of Boracay and the big waves. The drinks served at the bar were excellent.

it was immaculate, clean. very modern. the breakfast buffet was the best thing about it. my spa experience was tailored to me and a beautiful and relaxing experience. and they made every effort to accommodate me and had a huge time range even late into the night. it truly seemed like each staff member knew about it ie. room number, name, people in party (especially at the breakfast buffet) and it was apparent at each arrival area. even in the interim while waiting for the boat to take us to the island and our concierge and our drivers who picked us up at the airport. the shampoo and other items smelled really good. we were allowed to check in extremely early and because our original room type wasn’t ready, they upgraded us and even set up another bed. my auntie stayed at shangri la next door but we never ever felt less than or missing out. btw, you should see their infinity pools on the roof. super private because no one really goes to those although, I have to say I liked the pool bar.

The reception from the airport, via the hotel’s private port and speedboat was phenomenal! After a stressful journey I could have cried to be met with refreshments, a comfortable lounge and kind service. Musicians greeted us at the hotel and a welcoming drink. Our room was upgraded to a suite, with welcome gifts. The bathroom and bedroom were beautiful. Contrary to the hotel description of an infinity pool, the hotel has 3 infinity pools. The hotel is literally on the perfectly manicured beach. There were activities - water and otherwise or as we did, you could just relax in the beautiful romantic double sun loungers and take in the breathtaking view whilst sipping cocktails and watching the sun set. The food was excellent - wonderful breakfast and Areis accommodated by inability to eat spicy food in the evening. Mark the barman remembered our names which gave it a personal touch and Kirk the driver was courteous and helpful in getting us back to speedboat on our exit. We almost had to be dragged kicking and screaming from paradise.

A family of 14! Big group. We decided to book a 3bedroom suite and 2 deluxe room. The suite is huge enough to fit 20 people if allowed. There are extra beds in each room, 2 huge sofa in the living room, a decent size of kitchen with sink, utensils, espresso machine, big refrigerator but no microwave. The resort is beautiful, quiet and very relaxing. Air condition is good, even turned up the heat at night. We love the pools, we spent so much time after visiting the beach and at night. There's a bar at the pool area. There are staffs cleaning the pool every morning. Coconut trees scattered at the pool sides making it better to swim during day time. The breakfast was amazing and delicious, so many options. The pick-up from the airport was seamless, van, boat ride were very coordinated, thanks to Nico. The hotel is just few minutes rides to the mall using their free shuttle. If you can shell out extra to your budget, i highly recommend this place.

Fantastic hotel that is an easy walk or shuttle ride to D Mall while also being a quiet, relaxing space away from the hustle and bustle. The pools are clean, well-sized and stocked with pool toys. The bar was lots of fun and the two staff who took care of us there while we swam each afternoon were fantastic! Breakfast is also excellent with a wide selection of Filipino and other dishes. Aqua especially took great care of us during Typhoon Opong - we were due to check out and transfer to another hotel on the island, but the front desk staff allowed us to stay well past the check-out time so we could transfer to our next location safely. We also appreciated the room upgrade free of charge. All in all, great place to stay and highly recommend if you'd like a beachfront location away from the crowds!

Me and my husband stayed at Aqua for 10 nights. We both love to travel and this resort is a gem! A quiet, neat, comfortable, friendly staff, great food, scenic place. Chef Jojo is the best, i am still at the door entering the restaurant, and my morning stuff for my tea was already in a plate waiting for me. Getting a bed/chair by the pool was never a problem. All mornings, we had the pool to ourselves. It's just a short tricycle ride if you want to go at the main white beach, or just take their free shuttle service to DMall. For travelers who want to just have a quiet relaxing vacation away from the crowd, i highly recommend Aqua.

Lovely hotel just off Bulabog beach on the quiet side of Boracay. About a 8-10 minute stroll to Dmall. The rooms are spacious and high quality, although the mattress was very old and needed replacing. The staff are endlessly helpful, friendly, and accommodating. Great breakfast with lots of choice. Things to note...it's on the windy side of the island which is great if you like watersports, but the wind at the 2 hotel pools can be pretty fierce, especially the one nearest the beach, which is normally empty for that reason. That makes the other pool crowded, which highlights the relative lack of sunbeds, when the hotel is busy. Would recommend and would definitely stay again.

Aqua is the place to stay in Boracay. The property was gorgeous and very well maintained in all ways. Magnificent pools with different depths that cater to all levels of swimming abilities. A big thumbs up to the staff at the front desk, housekeeping, restaurant, swimming pool, and security. Always there with a smile and a helping hand. It is located on the peaceful quieter side on Bulabog Beach. It's a 5 minute walk to the other side to White Beach, and then you're amongst the hustle and bustle of D'Mall where there's lots of restaurants and shops.

the staff makes me feel comfortable and I enjoy every day the private pool and the infinity pool.

We were greeted with an upgraded room on arrival which was fantastic. The bedrooms were amazing and the beds were very comfortable. The azure dinner and menu was fabulous and breakfast was excellent. Lots of choices and all freshly cooked. Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The views of the beach are fantastic and the pool is good, although a swim up bar would have been great in the pool.

We had a Private Pool villa and it was gorgeous!! Very clean and comfortable and the air conditioning was nice and cold. When we had a problem with one of the air conditioning units, they fixed it straight away. The bathroom was HUGE! The rain shower was superb. We didn't really use the pool because the bigger pool and the beach were very close - which was nice because we didn't have to walk very far to either. The villa was also very near the Azure restaurant. The food was excellent and the ambiance was perfect being right on the water. The pork bao and the pizzas were so good! We had the breakfast buffet every morning at Enye. I can't fault it at all. Delicious food. The Bavarian cream donuts were to die for! We thoroughly enjoyed the water aerobics in the pool. It was a fun activity for all of us that we weren't expecting to have. All in all the staff was very attentive and friendly. Shout out to Jester (thank you for making us feel at home!), Merrie, Honey, Andrian, Clare, Pearl, Janina, Jade and Harry for their outstanding service! Dime gave us haircuts, that we LOVE by the way, and a manicure. Thanks again, Dime! :) The valets and concierge team provided amazing service. We often took a golf cart to the room if we didn't feel like walking. They were always smiling and happy to drive us. I can't fault this resort for anything really. I hope that I get the opportunity to stay again!

The resort is very comfortable, clean and well staffed. I had made some requests prior to checkin as my wife and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary. In all aspects of my requests, all staff exceeded my expectations completely. All staff were extremely friendly, considerate and helpful. This started from the time we checked in including car valet staff, concierge staff, checkin staff, pool staff and the restaurant staff (theres plenty of choice of food from all the restaurants operating)The pool area is well maintained and the lifeguard on duty was doing an amazing job. At any time when people were in the pool swimming or just relaxing, his eyes never left the pool. Job very well done. The food for our private dinner at one of 2 Pool Cabanas was exceptional. Beautifully presented and well prepared. None of the dishes we had were at fault. A true credit to the kitchen staff and the chef. Our waiter/server for our private dinner was extremely courteous and helpful. Thanks Ricardo

Amazing resort, beautiful and clean and staff are incredible. If i am ever coming back to Mactan that’s the only place i am staying in. We’ve stayed for 6 nights and loved every single minute there. Rooms are large and comfortable and very clean. The infinity pools are extraordinary and they leave clean beach towels every morning. They have a lovely small veal as well but me and my partner spent our days at the pool ( as we’ve had enough beach time in El Nido) Morning breakfast is so nice and you have two restaurants for it which makes it less busy. Azure beach club has is amazing. Juvz one of the staff has served us for almost the entire stay as we would go there for happy hour and then dinner. He was extremely polite and friendly . And the food omg…I’ve had the clams at least twice and that burger was the best I’ve ever had hah. Hotel offers free shuttle into Cebu which is amazing. The schedule can be improved, but hey…still free shuttle.

The staff was very friendly, professional, and accommodating. The location along the beach was great, the pool with swim-up bar was very nice, and the rooms were comfortable.

great location away from the busy area of Boracay great pool with swim up bar clean rooms

The room was huge Beach is beautiful Swim up bar in the pool

room was superb, far bigger than i expected so was pleasantly surprised. breakfast wasn't included with our booking so we didn't feel we had to have the hotel breakfast so we ventured out for meals. Location was brilliant, right on the beach as well as having a swimming pool with a swim up bar.

The resort was very nice and more of a boutique resort. Nice pool at the resort with some level of escaping the hot sun at different spots in the pool. The private pool suite we booked was beyond our expectations and great for our family to enjoy.

Clean room and comfy bed. Thoughtful design of projector screen TV so it didn’t hinder view of water during the time not being used. Loved the private pool attached to room.

5 days in paradise and our first time in El Nido… We stayed at the overlooking Villa with a private pool. From the time of our arrival, we received exceptional service from the Morgan Villa team. They accommodated all our requests from facilitating trips to/from the town, our island hopping tours (A and C), food delivery from a local Italian restaurant (because we were too tired to go out after our day tour), and delivering excellent breakfasts to our private terrace every morning. We had an issue with downloading our photos and videos from a Go Pro rental and the guest relations officer, Bots, went above and beyond to download the media which would have otherwise been lost memories. The team’s attention detail was really outstanding. It was next level. We were relaxing on the beach in front of the villa during sunset and Bots brought bug repellent to us. When we went on our day tours, they gave us a waterproof bag with towels. We also met the property owner, Carlos, and had interesting discussions on various topics. Our villa was amazing. We loved the modern style, new appliances, and overall design layout. We felt at home. The location was convenient as we were a short 5 minute walk to the town square.

The property had the best views I have ever experienced in my life we did the sunset room and it had a private pool, upscale tech, and a panoramic glass wall facing the beach, water, and nearby islands. We could admire the view from anywhere in the room including our bed and even our shower. It was remarkable. Our villa was a 5 minute walk on the beach to town square so it was peaceful while still accessible to all things El Nido. Carlos and his staff were super attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to accommodate us. Me and my wife had the time of our life and it was very romantic. A true gem.

I like the rooms, the pool, breakfast so delicious, the care of the staffs and specially the breathtaking view infront of our room. The beach is so clean and it is just infront of our room and of their bar. I love their coffee and specially the welcome drinks served by all of their staffs when we arrived by a speedboat.

Oceanfront views and our own pool. The staff took us wherever we wanted to go via buggy and were so friendly. An unforgettable experience!

I liked everything about the hotel. The staffs, especially Christian, who warmly welcomed us at the hotel when we arrived. I liked how they professionally handled all the guests especially during the breakfast buffet. I loved how they offer towels for free at the pool. The hallways were so clean and well-lighted all the time. It was carpeted everywhere. The bathroom was so clean with bathrobes, towels and face towels. Aside from the beds, they also have a big sofa that fits 2 toddlers. The linens were so clean and silky that you can smell the cleanliness of the room once you enter. There were lots of selection for the buffet breakfast. The ambiance was so calm that you can really relax from the buzzing city traffic. The pool also has a snow cannon that makes artificial snow during the afternoon. You can use the gym and pool for free.

Breakfast - good selection, tasty choices, bread was freshly baked Room - spacious, good layout, functional Location - near clark parade grounds, near food establishments, plenty of greenery around the place Staff - approachable, helpful, alert (witnessed a boy accidentally fall on the big pool and was instantaneously saved/pulled out of the pool by the lifeguard on duty; my dad almost slipped as he goes down the lobby steps and the guard on duty was able to catch and hold him)

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Always saying ‘good morning.’ Room has two queen beds with a view of the swimming pool and nonsmoking. Very clean and comfy. The gym was huge, with at least 5 treadmills, weight machines, stationary bike and elliptical machine. There’s a shuttle to the SM city clark mall (you have to reserve it) i just assumed they show up at specified time. But one day didn’t show up. Otherwise, they leave on time. Security is tight. They check your luggage and under your car. Also there are dogs that’ll check and smell your luggage/bags. There’s a bus called point2point that will take u from ninoy airport terminal 3 to SM mall and Clark airport (about 2-3 hour ride). It has a/c and a big TV. No wifi no board. No bathroom either. Costs around $7.00 or 350 pesos one way. There are a lot of restaurants nearby that’s walkable. But there’s also room service 24/7, which is very convenient. They give you shampoo, conditioner and toothbrush/toothpaste. Very nice hotel and highly recommended.

From the moment on arriving at the Quest hotel we was greeted by very smiley & friendly staff, We had booked for 3 nights with a room with Club access, This is on the 7th floor where we was checked in with soft drinks, our room wasn’t quite ready but staff said please help yourself to drinks & snacks while you are waiting, Staff Very friendly & tentative to all your needs, The buffet restaurant has a great atmosphere & so many dishes to choose from with Amazing flavours, all dishes are quality, Room good size & very comfortable bed, As I said we had club access this on the 7 th floor with soft drinks all day & snacks/cocktails between 5pm & 7pm This is fantastic value for the money (just amazing) I would recommend the Quest Plus to anyone who likes to be truly looked after by Quality staff & so much food to choose from. Didn’t use the pool but it looked inviting Cracking Hotel & Amazing value for the money, Without a question I will return again & agin

We liked the room! It's bright.. The pool was really nice for my kids. They also have a kids area. Breakfast buffet was abundant! All the staff were helpful and friendly. From the security, concierge, reception, f&b staff, housekeeping and kichen department! Everyone has shown us wonderful experience during our stay.. I kindly asked for packed breakfast meals for 4 of us at the reception, since we were checking out super early. The kitchen staff delightly offered us 3 packs of breads and pastries and rice meal for me. Room service delivered it at the lobby before we checked out.

- very beautiful property, pool and room - very friendly and helpful staff - comfortable and clean - loved having my private pool with beautiful views of the ocean

I'd highly recommend staying here, especially in a suite with a private pool. It was so special and the staff were so lovely - especially Lim and Adryan. The gym, massages and food were also great. If you can, book for at least 2 nights so you get a full day there.

The breakfast was amazing, rooms were clean and the private pool was excellent. The staff was very accommodating in terms of transportation, organizing tours, providing breakfast early, and getting a car for us. They were so helpful and made the stay easy as well as fun

The room is new and big, with ocean-front view and private pool. The service is extremely nice, including free transportation, welcome drinks, free massage and most importantly, friendly staffs. We enjoy our staying in Epic Suites a lot:)

Very exclusive, 5 star, private pool and ocean views, better than the photos, the staff were great and attentive and always happy to help, best value for money stay you could ever ask for

Lovely spacious room. Wonderful pool with plenty of shaded areas. Swim up bar. Excellent food, large portions. Massage in room or poolside. Coffee machine in room. Very friendly and attentive staff. Ice cold water from dispensers. Very clean. Air con in room was very good.

We had a swim up pool room and it was great for the kids. We couldn't get them out of the pool. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. Always smiling and happy to help with any queries we had.

Breaky was great, close to the beach and the swim up bar was lovely. Overall it was a magnificent stay.

The pool bar was epic, staff were friendly My pool-access room was unbeatable, i literally swam to the pool bar to order my favourite cocktail and nachos, what a unique experience

We had the pool-access room on the first floor and we loved it. Jump into the pool from out own little balcony. The staff were great and super responsive. The pre-arranged transport to and from the airport was amazing, smooth and perfectly organized.

I think this is the 5th or 6th time I have stayed in Coro. The rooms are really nice and the staff are always friendly and helpful. Nice gym, pool and poolside bar & restaurant

Good location. Front desk staff were really friendly. Rooms were a good size with comfortable beds. Bathroom was ok although we only for 4 towels when we had 4 in the room (housekeeping delivers more upon request) & the shower was only the rain head which is deemed a luxury but a pain if you don’t want to get your hair wet! Pool is on the rooftop so a nice view & attached bar (indoor) has a good vibe although the staff there didn’t seem to speak much English (other than to take your order) & the pool guy on our stay was particularly serious (not sure if this was from a lack of English or other!).

Prices are fare for American prices and services. However the Philippines' food and room service are on the high side for the Philippines. Rooms public areas are clean. No juice or expresso at the breakfast. Just brew coffee option. Food presentation good. Taste good. Have 2k Peso they really don't want cc holds for service. They will take CC at the bar and pool. Both excellent.

Rooftop bar restaurant and pool was amazing, cocktails and food were cheap and dfenetly worth it also the staff were so friendly and attentative also sitting outside having a chat when i was vaping and helped tell random people trying to sell things to leave me alone. Also buffet breakfast was great.

Excellent stay here. Hotel itself is quiet but area around is loud. The hotel staff were very friendly & helpful. I also loved the lounge with the pool area with the restaurant. It was great how the restaurant has specialties on certain days & even has cards in your room about them.

We had the private pool villa and it was fantastic. Lots of privacy and a great room.

The place is wonderful, the villa, its bedroom and bathroom were spacious and top notch from the point of comfort and luxury and the private pool was very lovely. The staff were friendly and sociable, our stay was made even more pleasant by their presence. The Mangrove walk and bar and sunset are beautiful.

We were comfortable at Zen Villas, and the staff was very nice and willing to help us with whenever we needed. The hotel seems to cater more to families than those looking for romance. There's a great pool, but there were a lot of kids playing in the pool when we were there. At nighttime, you could usually relax at the pool in a more quiet atmosphere, for exercise or romance. Overall, the hotel is quiet, and the live music on the weekends was really excellent. We loved walking on the mangrove walk. That's a really nice feature of the hotel. The bed was comfortable but the chair in the room was easy for sitting and you have to take a shower really carefully to not splash water all over the floor. My suite had a nice little kitchen and refrigerator, which was great. The restaurant was okay, but they'ed bring breakfast to your room and breakfasts were really good. The restaurant had some tasty dishes but we were disappointed that there wasn't more local food to try and no fresh fish. A fresh fish of the day dish would have been nice. We liked staying at Zen Villas for a few days and would recommend it. Bohol is a great place to explore. We're glad we went there and loved seeing the Tarsiers at the official conservation center.

PRO: Easy check-in, located on a main road, given a local/tasty drink upon check-in, transportation available for a fee, resto on-location, pool was great, pool area has lots of seats/tables/lounging, very serene environment/ambiance surrounded by nature, staff are polite, resort is well-maintained, free access to mangrove walk, which was serene and a must-go on its own, suites has a well-stocked kitchen utensils and toiletries. Room has safe. CON: Shower has a flawed design - water splashes out and tends to pool around the bathtub/shower area, curtains on windows are somewhat see thru - i went outside to check and i can see inside with curtains down. RECOMMENDED: I still recommend to people tobseeks out peace/quiet/calm environment/ambiance.

I visited in August 2023, the resort is beautiful and quiet. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the front desk staff and check-in was easy and fast. Afterwards, we decided to order some food and drinks, the service was quick and efficient. Our food came out hot and fresh, and our drinks came out filled to the brim. The food was delicious and the drinks were super tasty. I believe we were taken care of by JM and she was super accommodating and helpful when deciding the food and drink choices. We also enjoyed the pool, the pool was very nice to swim in and there wasn’t too many people which was great. Overall, great time and great food here.

Stayed in a 2 bedroom villa with a private pool, 3 bathrooms and a kitchen great and spacious for a family of 4. Food and atmosphere was great with live music every night we were there. Main pool was good as well. Mini mart across the road and easy to get transport and tours. Special thank you to Joshua for assisting with tips on Puerto Princesa and also arranging a few things at dinner to celebrate our daughter’s 16th birthday.

The hotel's ambiance is truly a tropical paradise. The lush gardens, stylish architecture, and well-maintained grounds create a serene and relaxing atmosphere. The design seamlessly blends modern amenities with local Filipino charm, giving guests a comfortable yet authentic experience. The rooms at AZIZA Paradise Hotel are spacious, clean, and well-appointed. We stayed in a Deluxe Room which featured a comfortable bed, a large bathroom with modern fixtures, and a balcony overlooking the pool. The room had all the necessary amenities, including air conditioning, a minibar, and a flat-screen TV. Housekeeping was prompt and thorough, ensuring our room was always tidy. The hotel's restaurant, Demeter Diner, offers a wide range of dishes that cater to various tastes. The breakfast buffet had a good selection of local and international options, ensuring a great start to the day. We particularly enjoyed the fresh seafood and traditional Filipino dishes served for dinner. The poolside bar is also a nice spot to relax with a refreshing drink. The highlight of our stay was the large outdoor pool, which was perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. The hotel also has a fitness center, a spa offering a variety of treatments, and a business center for those who need to work during their stay. The staff at AZIZA Paradise Hotel were incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to assist with any requests or provide information about local attractions.

A little bit of paradise! From the moment we arrived at Aziza Paradise Hotel, we felt like royalty. This hotel manages to capture the best of luxury, comfort, and genuine hospitality. The staff greeted us warmly and seemed to anticipate our every need. Our room was spacious and offered a stunning view of the pool. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the room had all the amenities we could ask for. The housekeeping team worked magic; our room was spotless and stocked with fresh towels and toiletries. The pool area is a slice of paradise! Surrounded by lush greenery with comfortable loungers and fish waterfall, it’s the perfect place to unwind. We’re thoroughly impressed by the quality of treatments and the tranquil atmosphere. Dining here was a culinary journey. The breakfast buffet had endless options, from fresh tropical fruits to made-to-order omelets. Each dish was a beautiful blend of local flavors and gourmet presentation. —it’s a memorable experience! The staff at Aziza went above and beyond. It’s these thoughtful touches that truly set this place apart. If you’re looking for a luxurious escape with exceptional service, stunning views, and a truly relaxing atmosphere, look no further than Aziza Paradise Hotel. It’s a place we’ll remember fondly and recommend to anyone looking for a touch of paradise. Can’t wait to return!

The pool was very warm. A bit dated but still nice. And clean. The resort was very nice overall. Rooms were also a bit dated but still good. They sort of let you do whatever. We just purchased a $8 bottle of vodka and made our own drinks at the pool. Just like the other reviews stated everything at Aziza is good. Breakfast was a really good selection. But what takes it to the next level is the staff. They are so kind and helpful and fast with any request. It seems like they are in the middle of some renovations and what has been completed so far looked great. The price is also very reasonable. They even heard it was our anniversary and left us a huge dessert in our rooms and flowers. Food was good and drinks were cheap! Great nearby restaurants also.

Pros Really friendly and super helpful staff 10-15 minutes from the airport Quiet neighborhood 15-20 minute walk to Robinsons Mall Great variety of food at the breakfast buffet. Hot items change daily. Great pool Live entertainment Cons The hotel has seen better days. Some areas need refreshing. General fit and finish issues. Biggest pet peeve was functional stuff like our bathroom faucet spraying too vigorously that it would splash onto our clothing Not enough pool loungers Live entertainment past 9 pm (quiet time doesn’t start until 10 pm) Walls are paper thin – I could hear the baby next door crying as well as someone snoring. Needed to wear ear plugs.

Everything was amazing! Got the private pool villa and my husband was enjoying the villa guests' perks (especially the cocktail hour). The Crimzone was fun though our baby was still so young for it. Food was awesome and the staff was so friendly and very accommodating. Will definitely come back here! Highly recommended.

This resort is located down a long skinny out of the way road. When you arrive the resort just blows your mind. So peaceful and beautifully maintained. Unbelievable pool area We stayed in a private pool suite. Room was clean and lots of room to move around Bathroom was set up weird but we made it work for 3 days. The breakfast buffet was more than the eyes can take in. Wow and excellent food. The restaurants were pretty and set up nicely. Food was great. Pool area clean with great view. We rented at car with driver and took a trip to the waterfall. The drive back and forth was miserable Crowds traffic and garbage. We were very disappointed in Cebu Would never return. Even the boat trip to snorkel was awful. The crowds are relentless. So many tourists are so disrespectful to the under water life. The snorkel spots are so packed with boats and way too many people to see any fish. Someone even wrote their name on a piece of coral underwater. Like I said we would NEVER go back to cebu. The resort was wonderful but we like to venture out and discover things. This is not the place to do that .

I enjoyed my stay in Crimson Resort, the room is big and spacious for families, the staff are friendly and well trained, the four pools are huge and fun and the daily breakfast is delicious. We especially enjoyed the foam party at adult pool and Crimzone pool, the playground in Crimsone, the seaweed collection activity, snorkeling and the complete amenities of the room. Cebu beach is so pretty. Big shout-out to Clint in breakfast for his very warm service to me and my daughter. Cons: - There was no housekeeping done on 2nd day of my stay which was not informed to me in advance, I think that was not professional. - They don’t allow food delivery in but the food in the resort is not that delicious to be had everyday (I tried sisig, inasal and pizza). - You need grab or taxi to go out to Cebu city (and face the jam) as the shuttle only runs 3x a day, so it’s not convenient if you want to explore Cebu.

We have stayed in several hotels in and around the Philippines. The Crimson resort is by far the best hotel on Mactan Island. It is the only TRUE 5 star hotel with Shangri La and Movenpick being very dated when compared. Crimson is luxurious, modern, beautifully maintained and has all the amenities one would want from a 5 star hotel. If you are looking for a great home base to venture out on your day trips in Cebu then the Crimson is your spot. There is nothing better than coming back from a long day and slipping into the infinity pool, grabbing a drink by the ocean front bar or just relaxing in your luxurious room or pool villa. For the price Crimson is much more economical than Shangri La and Movenpick also. Don't let history and brands fool you. Crimson is the top pick on Mactan now.

From the moment we arrived at Crimson,we were greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. The room was spacious, and immaculately clean, with a stunning view of the beach we especially loved the luxurious bed and the serene vibe of the entire resort. The infinity pool was a highlight relaxing and beautifully maintained. However, I had a near accident while walking by the infinity pool as the area was quite slippery , I almost slipped and fell. Thankfully, an amazing staff member named Angela was nearby and immediately came to save me.She helped me regain my balance and ensured I was okay.she deserves special recognition. Thank you Crimson Resort and spa mactan. Can't wait to come back soon...

Kawayan gave us the perfect stay in Siargao! the first thing you appreciate is the exclusivity — with the resort only having 2 villas. Walking in to a Bali-like vibe, I admired the gardens endlessly and the personal touches customised to our preferences just amazed me. We appreciated the perk of being able to dictate what time breakfast will be and what it will be.. the common living/entertainment room which we’ve spent a lot of time in.. the random off lotion delivered to us while I was staying in our villa balcony.. the ability to use the pool anytime of the day.. the check out time considering our flight back — they always had the guest in mind. This place felt more than a resort! conveniently located across Cloud-9, we loved being able to walk across to catch/checkout waves then when we return to the gates of Kawayan, we immediately feel far-away. David, Crystal & their lovely staff definitely delivers a luxurious sanctuary and we will definitely be back! p.s. request for a private dinner and you will be very glad you decided to stay in for the night. after trying island famous eats, i craved for a subdued but fine dinner and Chef David delivered! p.p.s. the bakery chocolate croissants too are a must try!

Very private and quiet place with a beautiful garden and a nice swimming pool. The villa was very comfortable and well decorated. It includes everything you need. Location was ideal just a few meters away from Cloud 9, near cafes and restaurants and beside an authentic French bakery. Breakfast was excellent and really well presented. All the staff were exceptionally attentive and accommodating. They made our stay really pleasant and memorable. It is one of those places you wish you would stay longer and come back over and over again.

Beautiful property and a stunning pool. The rooms were so comfortable and really enjoyed the outdoor shower. The staff were all so friendly and unbelievably accommodating.

Everything: the location, the pool, the calm, the staff

This property is a real oasis of calm and tranquillity just a minute or two away from the Cloud 9 surf spot. General Luna is also a short and inexpensive ride away. There are plenty of great restaurants within walking distance of various cuisines. The host could not be more welcoming and helpful, and the onsite staff were always on hand to help us with anything we might need. The breakfast every day was just perfect with different options available and fresh pastries, fruit etc. Overall I would highly recommend staying.

The view from this place is unbelievable. The private pool was awesome especially after the trek up to get up to the villa to be able to just jump into the pool was awesome. The staff are lovely and accomodating. Very good location especially if you are going to hire a scooter. Very impressed.

Staff were lovely and helpful, great location close to the town,, gardens were beautiful, had a good workout getting to my room, breakfast was really good, clean room with a beautiful view, comfy bed. And had a swim in the private pool when the villa was vacant.

Last night I stayed at their vila with private pool. No words needed - this is paradise. Thank you so much for everything, El Nido Viewdeck Cottages, hope to be back one day....

Love the friendliness and accommodations of the staff. Very nice people. Love the view from our Villa and the private pool. Looking forward to comeback again.

We stayed 2 nights in a normal villa and then upgraded to a villa with a private pool which was absolutely incredible. The view was stunning. Location is great. Staff was very nice :)

A fantastic peaceful hotel. We booked the villa for 6 people it was fantastic. We didn't have to leave once as we had our own private pool, BBQ, fridge etc. An amazing view and own route down to a secluded beach, even if it is quite rocky. Rooms itself were clean, big and very comfy.

We stayed in the family suites which is a very spacious three-bedroom villa with outdoor kitchen and private pool, perfect for our requirements. The villa is clean and spacious with amazing view across the sea and over to Negros. The outdoor kitchen is perfect for self-catering. Overall an excellent stay and I am sure we will be back.

The place is beautiful. We stayed in the villa and really enjoyed the peace and quiet and privacy that we had. It was nice to have the private pool. My kids took advantage of it and swam every day, and it was nice that we could watch them easily. There are many places to relax there; a hammock, a cabana, a beach chair, and the other furniture. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. We were able to have our meals served in our villa, which was super convenient. They also help you arrange tours, transportation, massages, and other activities. There’s a private beach and there’s a kayak that can be used by guests. The location is also very convenient as it’s only about half an hour from Moalboal. The food from the restaurant was scrumptious. We loved everything we ordered from them.

We stayed in a beachfront bungalow on Cebu Island, and it was a truly memorable experience. The bungalows are excellent – spacious, well-maintained, and come with a private pool, summer kitchen, and direct access to the ocean. The view is absolutely stunning, and you can go snorkeling right off the shore, where you’ll find vibrant coral reefs and countless tropical fish. The location is peacefully remote, far from the busy city life, making it a perfect place for those seeking privacy, tranquility, and rest. You can either cook for yourself in the outdoor kitchen or order delicious meals from the staff for an extra fee. They also offer a variety of excursions and activities, which can be arranged on request. The staff is incredibly kind, helpful, and attentive – always ready to assist with anything you need. Overall, I would absolutely return. This place is a hidden gem for a peaceful tropical getaway.

Honestly, we are regretting not booking more nights in this beautiful place and leaving back to Manila. It was the most beautiful, peaceful, friendly place you can imagine. I can’t think about any small thing what was wrong. It’s a perfect place to turn off your head and just enjoy the present. It is 20minutes to get into the centre of Moalboal, but honestly unless you’re taking a tour from there, you don’t even have to leave that place, cause it’s just awesome! You can also just take a tour from the resort, with transport straight from there! We booked a bungalov, room called a fan room in booking i think and it was the cutest house with your own private resting area under your room, sea view and a pool straight next to the house. It wasn’t the last time these lovely people working there saw us there, we’re coming back soon 100%, cause we love you guys and we love this place! We realy enjoyed staying there, BIG THANK YOU❤️

Enjoyed our stay in the private Villas especially the private pool! Great location but very quiet and away from the noise. Rented a motorcycle right on the premises. Mik was as helpful and friendly as advertised. Will definitely stay there again on our next visit!

the personal pool, we have a mix family 2 year old to 17 year old. so everyone need something a bit different. the Sunset Bay Beach Villas was the place for us. first real holiday in a long time.

Great place for my extended family, 7 people incl kids. They loved the private pool. Nice with 3 bathrooms and 2 separate bedrooms. The manager is very helpful! I heartily recommend this place.

Our villa was comfortable. A big bathroom, separate cr, a good working air-conditioning in the sleeping room and a big and beautiful sittingroom and kitchen. Our private pool was amazing. Lovely the special sweets. The owner very friendly and helpful. The area is very quiet.

Has a beachfront,private pool,has a free paddle boarding and kayaking. The owner were very attentive to our needs.

There are no words to properly describe how amazing this property. The grounds are very lush with many pools and a great bar/deck area to enjoy the view of the ocean (especially during sunset). The private "room" with the high wall all the way around and the private pool created a very peaceful and relaxing environment. I can't wait to come back to Camiguin and this hotel. My biggest regret is not spending more nights here.

So we found ourselves in Balai sa Baibai, a 5-room hotel, and it is by far the best part of our 3-day vacation in the Island of Camiguin. My husband and I have done some travelling and have been to some high-end hotels and 5 star resorts but this is place can definitely compete with the list. It has been in operation for only a year, but the owners have been in the hospitality business for years, thus pouring all their passion and experience into this very lovely hotel. The rooms are either a suit or a villa. The villas have their own pool, yes, its own pool. Suits are just as beautiful as the villas. All the frills you get with a 5 star hotel, you get there. The interiors are undoubtedly beautiful, showcasing local building materials and local arts and architecture.Service is exceptional, from front desk to basically everyone in the hotel. Because its a small operation, you always see the owner who makes sure you are comfortable and enjoying your stay. Everything can be arranged. The only real bad thing about this hotel, it is booked almost all the time so you better book it way in advance if you want to experience this little hidden gem of a resort in Camiguin Island.

Our Mother/daughter stay in Balai sa Baibai was short and sweet…the staff were very friendly, warm and accommodating. No frills and fanfare…basic accommodations, pool was clean. Place was quiet and the sound of roosters crowing in the morning was perfect! I love Filipino food…their chicken adobo was divine…banana turon and ice cream was the best! Hummus was also very delicious. Gambas was good too! Mattress could be updated, but overall…I would recommend this place to everyone

Great place to relax, disconnect and unwind... with only 3 villas, service is superb and serenity at its best, yo basically have the entire place, the pool, the beach to yourself :-)

From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, we were pampered from all the staff & also the owners.As we booked in we were given a welcome drink,we were taken to our vista villa & given a tour of it & shown how everything worked. Later we had afternoon tea brought to us & this was each day that we were there. In the evening a free drink at the sunset bar & a bowl of nuts etc,was a nice touch. The complimentary breakfast was amazing, fruit (plate ),large variety of mains to choose from, (Filipino & Western )fruit drink,water,cereals, tea,coffee & whatever else you asked for. The two owners are to be commended the way they run Balai sa BaiBai & my wife & I will certainly be going back there in our next visit & we have already started telling our many friends about this wonderful resort. The staff were courteous, knowledgeable of the island, places of interest,places to eat & would do everything to make our stay comfortable & enjoyable. 10out 10.

Grounds Swimming Pool Access to beach Breakfast & menu Bar

We booked the grand villa with the private pool with the beachfront. I highly recommend it. The Buko resort felt luxurious without losing the cultural authenticity of a Filipino beach town. From the bamboo rooms and furniture to the menu items. I really enjoyed have the best of both worlds during my stay here. My family loved starting our day at the restaurant with the spectacular view and great service. We also loved that the Buko team went above and beyond to celebrate my mom's birthday in addition to assisting us with our tours and adventures. P.S. go for the massages, they were amazing.

Buko Beach Resort has a absolute fantastic staff! Everyone was extremely friendly and went above and beyond in helping us feel safe and welcome. The kitchen was efficient with our delicious meals. We stayed at the Grand Villa because we had children with us at the property. The personal pool was amazing and well worth the stay as our children enjoyed it immensely. The rooms themselves were spacious and clean! Plenty of room to spread out and relax. There are a few areas for improvement. The 2 lower en-suite bathrooms were open to the outdoors without any netting for mosquitoes. This made using the bathroom in the mornings and evenings difficult when fighting off the mosquitoes. We were provided mosquito incense burners, however it was not enough. I must’ve killed 4-6 mosquitoes for every bathroom trip. We ended up stringing an extra bedsheet over the opening and that made a world of difference. If the resort would have attached even a net over the door openings in the bathrooms, that would still allow fresh air in but prevent bugs from entering, that would improve comfort and usability greatly. A few other things were slightly broken- 1 shower downstairs had very, very little water pressure with very little hot water, 1 toilet leaked (though clean water), the wi-fi was dismal at best. Overall though for friends and family of 8, it was a great experience with amazing staff.

Words can’t entirely describe eating breakfast on the restaurant with the clouds and ocean at your feet. It is truly something you have to experience to fully understand. John was really, really sweet and the entire Buko staff were so friendly and kind and accommodating. I’m not 100% sure but I think we got upgraded to the pool view bungalow/villa without even asking. And oh boy was it an experience. They also had a welcome board with my name on it at the front desk, a nice personal touch we enjoyed. Buko restaurant was actually really good! The pancakes and poached eggs with iced coffees were the best! Besides a wonderful breakfast, dinner/lunch was really delicious. The green curry and perri perri chicken /pasta took me right back to South Africa. The sunset from the pool was also something you’d have to experience first hand to full grasp and would recommend. All our requests were met, we had massages in our room, laundry was done for us, any questions were answered promptly. We’re going to return to El Nido and Buko will be on our list for sure.

really lovely rooms and enjoyed the outdoor bathroom feature, very comfortable beds. staff always very polite and helpful on reception and pool/bar. breakfast was amazing. pool area really lovely. photos are accurate on website.

Pros: Very friendly staff. Lots of space - large and beautiful tropical garden around the villa. Very private. Not many other guests (only 5 units - 2 villas, 2 double rooms and 1 bamboo house). Nice setting with private pool and private bamboo pavilion. Large & clean rooms. Cons: slow wifi (will be upgraded soon according to manager), peace & quite occasionally interrupted by music from village Overall I strongly recommend the place if you are looking for a relaxing, secluded and spacious place in a beautiful tropical setting and do not need to be close to any town or entertainment.

Les Maisons D'itac was a perfect place to start out our honeymoon in the Philippines. We chose it for the amazing large private pool right outside our doors and the price was pretty unbeatable. I cannot rave enough about the staff and service of this place. We got in at 4 in the morning and Brian the manager was waiting to greet us at the door. The food was delicious and the landscaping was immaculate. Although Rhonda is a little far from the tourist parts of Moalboal transportation was easily provided by the hotel. If you want safe, beautiful, beachfront, private pool, excellent service, then this place is it!

We were group of 5 people stayed villa and we had great experience. It was so clean and nice. Garden and pool areas are beautiful as well. Pool was kind of small but enough to enjoy it. Breakfast was simple but delicious with mango shake ang fresh bread. Set lunch and dinner was very nice combination of pinoy and western food. We enjoyed massages several times at the garden in front of villa Manager Brian was very nice who arranged everything very well we requested. And all other staffs were very very friendly. Moalboal is about 30 min drive, and super nice young driver Marvin take there at anytime. He has great personality with big smile and always on time. Overall, it was great stay, I can not find better stay option in this area based on 20 times trips to Ceu. It was simply great.

Our stay at Maison d'Itac was incredible. Bryan, the manager, couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. From the moment we landed at the airport we were taken care of. We booked a private car transfer to the property(we recommend, it make the trip 2-3 hours depending on what time you land) and when we arrived we were shown to our rooms to settle in before breakfast, which they made each morning per request. We rented a scooter to explore the area( it is about 20 minutes from Moalboal and 40 mins from the waterfall, both doable on scooter) Each evening we enjoyed a sunset cocktail in our pool. The overall experience of the hotel was tranquil and relaxing. You feel like you are the only ones in paradise. The staff was also phenomenal, Thanks Melvin for always being there to check in on our needs. We will definitely be returning. 2017 started out magnificent in paradise!!!

It’s like a hidden treasure and it’s in a very private location, a little hard to find. But, worth every minute of your time spent at this beautiful hotel. They have one swimming pool and a beach area that’s a little rocky. The food is good, but could be better I think, and not many mixed drink options. The room was comfortable and bed was nice with curtains. Overall a great place to relax and unwind!

Our stay at One Hagdan Villa was amazing. We had the best time to relax and chill by our private pool for the remaining days of our Philippines trip. All the staff was so helpful and welcoming. The welcoming ritual they done at the start of our arrival was really unexpected but lovely experience to remember. A big shout out to Marie and Migue, who were so attentive during our stay. The villa was clean and was exactly like the photos and description. Would highly recommend!

We stayed here with a few friends for three days and three nights. They welcomed us at the end of the street where the jeep couldn’t go any further with necklaces in tow. We had a late check that was accommodated for. Welcomed us with drinks and a hot towel. The rest of our stay was amazing! Great views, great staff, we chose to dine in a lot because of the great food and fantastic cocktails. We came in the of Tyhpoon season and even brought food and drinks with a smile with heavy rain and winds! They accommodated we asked for. Nothing was too much for them even a request for the pool to be cleaned late at night after the pool maintenance had already left. They were amazing, catering to our every needs. Could not be happier with the service at One Hagdan Villa. Special mention to all our hosts, Romel, Khier, Eline and Rosebie!!!! You guys made our stay feel like we were home. It was so comfortable and we couldn’t be more grateful for the hospitality they provided. Thank you guys so much, we will certainly come back to ‘our’ villa 😊

Villas were fantastic - rooms clean great pool & pool table could use kitchen to cook own meals or order in & was very comfortable for our group & short tri-cycle ride to station 1

First of all, we had such a warm greeting by the staff, especially Rosebie, she was responsible for taking good care of us. She did an excellent job making sure that we were having a great time and responded to our requests on WhatsApp almost instantly. Conditions and interior of each room and common space, balcony, infinity pool etc. were all so amazing. The view is great by the way. We constantly spoke about what great choice we made by booking here. Some reviews say that it is hard to find an e-trike, but Rosebie helped us reserve every time if we just request 30~45 mins in advance, so we had no trouble getting to Astoria in time for the island hopping or for just getting to dmall or checking out. Getting back also was not an issue as drivers all knew One Hagdan. Lastly I felt very bad because we lost the main door key.. but Rosebie handled the situation warmly.

The place was spacious, away from the busy area. The butler/maid service was great. You could order food from their menu and they would cook it up for you. After you were done even if you cooked your own food they came and cleaned the dishes. Spectacular service. Well spent money.. Big rooms and bathrooms. The kids loved the small pool to relax in.. I would have no second thoughts on coming here again.. The downstairs could have been its own in-law unit by itself.

very friendly and extremely helpful staff. Whenever we needed anything, from fresh water bottles to empty family cooking litter boxes, etc etc Jay was always available. We were a family of twelve. With the four seperate bedrooms, each with a private bathroom and a privacy space such as own balcony or terrace, plus the community soaces, large kitchen with large space for family dinner, plus private poolarea … we felt private and safe in Casa Biance. Surf beach was only a 5 minutes walk away. Jasmine gave us sufficient information and answered all over our questions instantly before and during our stay (airport transfer, ferry transfer, etc) she was always „available“
