Homestays in Cebu

The pool is fantastic. The room was clean, and the view of the pool right in front was lovely. The coffee was also delicious. A few minor points were that room cleaning and towel changes for consecutive nights cost extra, you need a taxi to get anywhere, the shower was a bit faulty, the fridge didn't cool very well, and there's no luggage storage service. However, for this price, enjoying such a resort atmosphere makes it absolutely worthwhile.

Firstly, the place is absolutely beautiful — the perfect destination to relax, unwind, and truly rejuvenate. From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by stunning scenery, a peaceful atmosphere, and a sense of calm that instantly made us feel at home. Secondly, the staff here are exceptional. Every single person we interacted with was extremely friendly, warm, and genuinely helpful. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable, always greeting us with a smile and offering assistance whenever we needed it. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, and the room was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed — every detail was just perfect. I sincerely appreciate the entire team for their kindness, friendliness, and dedication. Thank you for making our stay so memorable. We will definitely be recommending this place to friends and family, and we look forward to returning in the future!

I stayed here for 3-4 nights during a super typhoon in November. The typhoon was so severe that everything around us was in chaos, but I was amazed to see the staff clean up and restore everything to normal within half a day. I had considered staying at a moderately priced hostel since Bantayan Island is more about activities than luxury resort stays, but then I found Ananya Resort at a similar price point. For a beachfront property of this quality, the value for money is exceptional, and it's incredibly well-maintained and clean, so I highly, highly recommend it! The resort staff are also very friendly. If you arrive on the island early in the morning, I recommend paying the 500 pesos for early check-in so you can save some time to rest or start your activities sooner! The breakfast isn't a buffet; instead, you choose from a single menu of Filipino breakfast options. I recommend the Beef Tapa! The only downside, as it's a budget-friendly resort, is that there's no hairdryer! If you need one, make sure to bring your own!

A small, quiet, cozy, family-run hotel, practically on the seashore. It's surprising that there was room for a swimming pool in such a limited area. Interestingly, the water in the pool is fresh, but in the shower it's salty. ))) I don't like exclusively ”marmalade” reviews, so I'll mention the disadvantages, of which I saw only two: 1. Well, the order is very long to complete. Agree that 40 minutes of waiting for dinner is too much. 2. Swimming in the sea with a mask, or just swimming in the sea, will be difficult for you because of the shallow depth and the bottom, completely strewn with broken corals. However, this does not depend on the owners of the hotel. But the cleanliness of the coast and the ”sea up to the knees” depend on them ))) As Exupery said in ”The Little Prince”: ”When you wake up in the morning - clean up your planet” I don't want to go into details, so as to spoil the generally positive impressions, including the price, received from staying in this truly cozy hotel.

This is a budget-friendly room. The space is enough for couples. There’s not much amenities in the room though. You can ask the staff to clean the room promptly. There are some small stores outside where you can buy some necessities, but if you wish to buy fast food, the center is a bit far from this location.

The location is excellent, not far from where they take you to see the whale sharks. The hotel provides round-trip transfers, but you can also walk about 500 meters in 10 minutes, though it's along the road. The price for the whale shark tour from the hotel with transfer is 1000 pesos; without transfer, it's 500 pesos per person if you book on site. The rooms are spartan, with nothing but a bed and a table. There's a water heater in the shower, but it doesn't quite do its job. However, for 3,000 rubles, if you just came to see the whale sharks, spend a night, and leave, it's perfectly justifiable. The hotel has a restaurant where you can grab a bite, and nearby there's a pier with boats that can take you to a small, opposite island with white coral sand. This hotel is really just for a 1-2 night stay.

Our stay at Alegria Waterfront Beach House was absolutely fantastic. If you are looking for a place that combines natural beauty with peace and quiet, this is it. The Property The location is unbeatable. Having a private beach right on your doorstep is a rare luxury; we loved being able to step out and enjoy the water without the usual crowds. It’s incredibly serene and provided the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. Exceptional Service What truly set this experience apart, however, was the property manager, Katrina. She did a fantastic job ensuring our trip was seamless. Katrina went above and beyond by handling all of our activity bookings, including: Canyoneering adventures Whale shark tours Her local knowledge and willingness to help made our logistics stress-free. Her service is highly commendable, and she is a massive asset to this property. Verdict Between the stunning, quiet location and Katrina’s top-tier hospitality, I cannot recommend this place enough. We will definitely be back!

The hotel is old. There are rotten parts in the pool area, and you could fall through the wooden floors. The hotel is far from the city center, and it's impossible to walk to any amenities. However, the hotel's cuisine is excellent, the rooms are clean, and the service is top-notch.

If you are looking for a fancy stay, this isn't it. But if you just need a place to sleep for a very cheap price, Aosmec CampHotel is definitely worth it. It’s perfect for solo travelers or backpackers who are only in Manila for a quick layover or a US Embassy appointment. The ”rooms” are actually indoor tents, which is a unique experience. Even though you're in a tent, the air conditioning in the main area is strong, so it stays cool enough to sleep comfortably. The location is the best part—you are right in the middle of everything, close to malls and transport. Just keep in mind that since it’s a shared space, it can get a bit noisy when other people move around or unzip their tents. If you bring earplugs and don’t mind sharing a bathroom, you really can’t beat the price. For a low-budget stay, it’s a solid 4/5 stars.

The hotel is very beautiful, like an oasis. Outside the hotel the view is completely different. The service is excellent, they helped organize a trip to the sharks, called a taxi to the airport, since the grab does not work there. There is a 3 m pool for scuba divers. There were not enough large towels, they gave 4 small ones. In the mornings there was no hot water, barely warm.
