Homestays in Cebu

Staff: Everyone is nice, accommodating and easy to talk to.  Bed: Not sure if it’s only my bed, but near board area, it keeps on creating a creaking sound disturbing other guests.  -Clean and comfy Aircon: A bit hot, not sure if someone keeps changing the aircon temp, get sweaty sometimes.  Recommendation - noticed some guests doesn’t care about people sleeping in the area and just casually talking inside for a long time. 2 young foreign girls, having a love story during my sleep :D, anyway, please remind your guest to be quite at all times and have their chats and snacks outside or in the lobby.

We decided to travel South for our anniversary celebration and booked this hotel after chasing waterfalls. When we arrived the staff/receptionist greeted us and some others were playing cards. They were quite relaxed and chilled. Food is okay and we're thankful they provided us some ice too. And their check out time is at 11:00am which we were surprised because most hotels we've been to, the check outs are at 12:00pm. The staff knocked on our door at 11 to inform us about it. So, I checked the details in their hotel again to confirm the time and it stated there 11:00-12:00pm. They let us out at 11:30. The view is great.

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.

We stayed here for one night before our shark excursion. We were very grateful for the late check-in after 9 PM and that they specially prepared dinner for us even after the hotel cafe had closed. There's parking available for cars. The rooms are located as close to the water as possible – you literally step out of your room and almost into the water, which is amazing! The sound of the surf at night even made it hard to sleep (which is more of a plus, really). The location is excellent, and they can arrange transfers for shark tours and priority queuing if you discuss it with the lovely lady at the reception. Regarding the room itself – the room is physically tired and needs some minor repairs. There are some condition issues, but the location makes up for it. The cleanliness is excellent. All the linens were clean and smelled like fabric softener (a pleasant scent). Breakfast was à la carte. You can definitely get your fill. It's not a buffet.

Loved the property and the beach. Best snorkeling we did in Moalboal was direct from the resort and we saw turtles and lots of starfish and marine life. The lifeguard Frankie went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing snorkeling experience. Also enjoyed the pool and the location worked perfectly for us as it was away from the hustle and bustle but still close enough to hit the town for dinner each night. Plus, White Beach is a 5 minute paddle away on the kayak. Would definitely come back again

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 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.

Me and my girlfriend stayed here for 4 nights and absolutely had a great time. We originally came to Moalboal to experience Kawasan Canyoneering, and we were lucky because B’lu Bamboo is within the area where our canyoneering organizer offered free pick-up and drop-off. The location is really convenient. It’s close to White Beach and Lambug Beach, and the famous Sardine Run is also nearby. Osmeña Peak is around an hour away, and even Oslob is only about 2 hours away if you want to do a day trip. There are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby, so getting food or anything you need is easy. Eda was wonderful and very accommodating throughout our stay. And if you want breakfast, honestly look no further — Eda makes the best breakfast in Moalboal! They also rent motorcycles for an additional fee, which made it much easier for us to explore the area. We’re really glad we picked B’lu Bamboo and would definitely stay here again when we return to Moalboal. Highly recommended!
