1. Tepanee Beach Resort

Raitings: 8.3 (Very good)

Location: Malapascua

Average rate: $75

"Almost perfect, only the customer policy of this italian owned nice resort could be more smooth, for example we rented 2 pair off goggles snorkles and very old fins, they charged us almost 50 dollars for 9 days... breakfast was more or less the same all 9 days we stayed there. The restaurant is a little behind compared to the outstanding (italian) restaurant (Angelina) just besides the resort."

2. Quo Vadis Resort

Ratings: 8.1 (Good)

Location: Moalboal

Average Rate: $76

"Great diving school with fabulous instructors. Nice resort with lovely staff. You can see the sardines out the front of the resort or swim to the right to see them near Chilis. Turtles as well."

"The staff was very kind and helpful. The area was like a little slice of heaven and very quiet. There was a diving center in the area of the resort which was great and easy to book activities with. The restaurant had some good options and there was also possibility to get it delivered to the room. Room was spacious and clean. A nice little porch with a hammock. THere was some set of stairs which brought you right down to the ocean and it was a great spot for snorkeling. Very happy we got to stay here.and recommend it."

"The resort is the best place for divers who wants to get their license or do fun dives. They have training pool and diving sites inside the resort. The dive shop instructor and staff were all very professional and friendly. One of the best dive resorts Iv ever been to! My highest recommendation for divers! I would definitely come back here again next time"

3. Ravenala Beach Bungalow

Ratings: 8.0

Location: Moalboal

Average Rate: $40

"We loved this place. The people were amazing, the service was excellent and we loved the beach area and the ambiance. A small, secluded family style resort that we were able to sit and have a conversation while the staff brought us coffee, tea, water and food. We were completely relaxed the whole time. As a person who travels many times per year, my experience here was one of the best. Mostly because of the staff. They were outstanding. I’ve stayed at some of the most expensive places in the USA, and the service here blew those 5 star expensive resorts away. I would stay here again. It’s nice to be around personable, friendly people who are committed to making your stay comfortable. Thank you Teresita and your wonderful staff!"

4. Island Front - Bangcogon Resort

Ratings: 7.5 (Good)

Location: Oslob

Average Rate: $35

"The room was spacious and clean. The CR had a water dipper (and bidet) for my Filipino wife and a hot water heater in the shower for her foreigner husband. Lisa was typical of the staff, attentive and responsive and helpful in arranging rides for us to the various sites. This was one of the best places to stay in our recent travels. Also the restaurant was great. Good food, (lots of choices) with good sized portions and reasonable in price. My wife and I ate for 500-600 pesos every meal total. (Breakfast was included with lots of selection made to order) Just a great stay. The beach is too rocky for sand castles. But there is an area with tables and chairs overlooking the beach with a great view of the sunrise and clouds going by during the day."

Remember: Prices and details can change over time, so be sure to practice due diligence and do your own research before booking your pawsome Cebu adventure!

Jammin' under Maribago Sun!

I find Maribago Blue Water Resort so ironic because the water is so green, laughs! Anyways they have a man-made island that's so panoramic from the main property where we stage our summer outing. It was so beautiful that I wonder if its artificial at all. Maribago has a lot to offer even if you find nothing worth doin at all, you can relax and soak yourself under the sun or feel the tropical breeze snatch your soul.
We decide to isolate ourselves in the island while we're jammin with the riddim of Burnin Culture.Rates valid from April 01, 2007 - March 31, 2008

Destination Badian!

Badian is a secluded town in the southernmost portion of Cebu where you can find pristine and white sand beaches. Few exclusive resort are mushrooming the area including Badian Island Resort and Cebu International Golf and Resort. Anyways I am not recommending those resorts unless you extend the credit limit of your visa card.

There are lots of ways you can groove your way down there, either thru a bus or a 15-seater van. A van will cost you $2.50 for a 2 hour ride from Cebu City to the town proper. Private villas and beach houses abounds the area ranging from $45 to $95 per night. The one we had rented has a patio/balcony, private loft, 3 bedroom, 1T/B and a shower room good for 6-8 people.

Restaurants are 5 mintes ride to town center since these houses are secluded. But food is not a problem, you might bring some canned goods or you can ask the house caretaker to buy you some fresh stuff and have them cook it for you, serve hot, how bout that?

Nostalgic sunset, calm seabreeze, comfy beachhouse, and good food is somethin Im looking forward the next time I will visit Badian. Ooh, I just cant wait for it.
