I recently had my 35th work anniversary so I booked here for 3D2N. Us couple + 5 children + son's girlfriend +puppy. I initially booked the Barkada Room but our puppy is not allowed there. My bad. I was just so happy they allow pets..I didnt read the part which rooms. Frontdesk was kind enough to arrange our transfer. As a result, I overpaid even after my kids ordered drinks and rented bikes. No time to claim in kind as we were about to be on our way. It takes 4hrs from our home to get there and vice versa. Location is at the northeastern tip of Cebu. Beachfront is so wide and always cleaned. Beachview has a wee bit of El Nido vibe. We like to swim early morning as its when tide is high and not so hot. With our booking, free breakfast at Fidela's. We enjoyed buffet on our first breakfast. Then ala carte on the second one. Dinner at Boogies. Delious food on both. Reasonable prices considering there's 8 of us. Staff are so polite and good at their roles. I read a review here that says 'its about little things'. This is not to criticize but to suggest improvement. I need to mention our beddings had faded red stains. We didnt notice it when we arrived as we were tired and hot from our trip. We arrived 2:30P. We got inside our final room 3:30P. We waited outside for our room keys under the heat of the sun. It was a huge comfort to finally be in a cool room.I informed housekeeping as some hotels charge for stains. They aplogized and offered to change it but we refused as we knew they were clean. I just hope they won't use it anymore. The elastic glue at the bathtub had black underlines. I know its hard to clean but it wont take long to replace it. The place is so big that you can hardly hear other guests. Silent, peaceful and so beautiful...just the way we like it. My children tried the kayak, rented bikes. My son and girlfriend climbed the trail. They said the view up there was nice.There's billiards too. My husband and me..beach early...breakfast...stay inside rooms when its hot outside...watch Netflix or browse the net..order in ...swimming pool near our rooms..then dinner. Overall, we had a lovely stay at Maya del Sol..far end of the resort. Thank you Golden Sands!
