Overall, it was an amazing experience from start to finish, and we would absolutely stay here again.

Recently enjoyed my stay at the Bellevue Resort for our recent family reunion…read more I remembered a much different Bohol when we would visit as kids growing up, but with the new airport on Panglao... it's super convenient to fly in and just a quick ride to this resort. Hotel has a gate (w/guard) but you can easily walk out and find local laundry services (other than what is offered at the hotel). There's also a small shopping center that is walking distance with a few restaurants and shops. Staff and service were fantastic as everyone is super friendly and they almost seem to go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and are enjoying your stay. The infinity pool is fantastic (for kids and adults)..... nice to also have the beach option but this part of the island is more remote... as the other reviews state, you can find better beaches at other resorts, but here it is more quiet and family oriented. Breakfast Buffet was superb with a rotation of offerings for vegetarians and omnivores alike. Special request items (eggs cooked to order, etc.) are just an ask away.

We paid to have breakfast included and it was a nice buffet style with local options as well as typical "American" breakfast items. We also ate in the main restaurant (desserts were amazing), had room service a couple times, and had several drinks and meals at the pool area. The service staff is very friendly and professional. The beach area is clean, however the water is very shallow and the tide goes out quite far leaving not the best view until it returns. Sunrise is amazing right over the water. We did the parasailing which was 3000/pax and was a one-way 15 minute ride down the beach. My daughter got a henna tattoo from S and J Henna Tattoo (on site) and was very happy with the job they did. The only downside I could mention is that we were there in mid-December and many local businesses were doing holiday parties during this time at the resort. We were provided notice each evening prior, however the events were onsite and quite loud - one day hosting two simultaneous events both using loud microphones. Not as relaxing as we had hoped. But they lasted only a few hours then the resort went back to normal. We were able to catch "Grabs" right out front to take us to shops/spas/restaurants when we wanted to get off site and of course those were very affordable - $2 US each way. Overall a great place to stay. I would highly recommend.

The beach front is nice and private, smooth white sand, free kayaking, great lounge chairs, and plenty of staff to assist. The pool is nice, with a shallow kid side (slide included). The breakfast buffet is top notch, and the regular lunch and dinner menu is beyond compare! My only complaint, the AC isn't the best, but otherwise it's a really nice resort at a fair price. I'd definitely stay here again. Prost?

Today upon arriving at the saffron breakfast buffet in Cebu, they never took our drink order and I had to ask for a drink as I was almost finished with my meal...bad service.

The Crimson Resort and Spa is a beautiful beachfront resort located in Mactan, Cebu, Philippines…read more This was the fourth resort I stayed at during my Philippines trip. While the drive to the resort is fairly simple and the surrounding landscape is plain, everything changes the moment you arrive. Once inside the property is exquisite. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and offered a refreshing Cebu iced tea welcome drink. Check-in was quick and pleasant, and I was pleasantly surprised that my room was upgraded to a Deluxe Garden Room. The Deluxe Garden Room features a garden view, a large king size bed and a spacious open plan bathroom with a sunk-in tub and rain shower. The mini bar is complimentary on the first night and includes Cebu mango treats, orange and mango drinks and classic Filipino beer. There is also a mini coffee machine where one can make cappuccinos and mochas. A stay at the Crimson includes a complimentary breakfast buffet at their Saffron restaurant. I was amazed at the selection the buffet. Not only did they have an abundance of Filipino and Western dishes but there was also a congee and sushi bar. They pastry bar selection ranged from classic Filipino ensaymadas to native Cebu sticky rice. I also was impressed that they had fresh smoothies and juices along with a full coffee bar offering different specialty coffees. This hands down was the best breakfast buffet I experienced during my trip. Equally as impressive is the resort's pool area. Located right next to the beach, it offers breathtaking sunrise views and a serene atmosphere that is perfect for relaxing. One thing worth noting is that the resort rooms are quite far from the main lobby and restaurants, so guests will need to take the resort golf cart service. While walking is an option, it can be a bit of a trek. Thankfully, the golf carts are available 24 hours a day. Overall, I really enjoyed my start at Crimson Resort and Spa. The resort is beautiful, serene and peaceful. It is an ideal escape and perfect spot for a holiday vacation.

An absolutely beautiful resort! We stayed at Hale Manna for 11 nights and enjoyed it immensely…read more Beautiful, spacious rooms with all the amenities to make the stay comfortable. We greatly appreciated the wonderful service of the entire Hale Manna staff. The restaurant offered a vast menu of delicious dishes. The large complex was beautiful and consisted of professionally manicured and maintained natural gardens and walkways. Numerous covered lounging areas dotted the shoreline, offering quiet secluded areas to relax and enjoy the ocean views. The reef was beautiful with colorful coral, an enormous variety of fish, sea-turtles, seahorses and other wildlife. Professional guides are available to assist snorkelers. Overall, Hale Manna is an outstanding resort and excellent value.

Late upload- A…read morefabulous place to stay...long term...a few days or day pass, your choice Due to the resorts popularity and the elite (famous artists/actors & families/business socialites) icons spending their mini stay in this resort, prices are extremely high. However, they do give amzing service to the most parts where needed. The lobby is a bustling line of patrons patiently awaiting to check in, a good 30 to 60 minutes on a busy day and perhaps longer on busier season and special holidays. They don't leave you unattended while waiting, a fresh juice and pastry is served while standing in line After checking in you can explore the massive hotel inside and out. There's a lot to see and check out. The rooms are great and modern, I mean I could get a phenomenal room at Cesar's Palace in Vegas for a cheaper price but the hospitality and service here is superb (i think that's what you're paying half the price of your stay!) There's an array of food to choose from. Asian cuisine, western cooking, a few Mediterranean dishes and of course the staple dishes of Cebu. The menu changes from breakfast to lunch and dinner. You will enjoy tasting dishes you have not tried before and the meal comes with your package. There's a list of restaurants and stores in the area to explore. You don't have to leave the resort at all. Anything you could possibly need during your stay is provided for. Sauna, massage, fitness and nature are at the tips of your fingers. Relax and enjoy your stay! A few photos to share with the best traveler uncle Arthur!

What a wonderful stay we had at this 4-star hotel! Not only is it beautifully designed (not…read moreostentatious), but our room had a firm but comfortable king bed, spacious open closet with shelving (instead of drawers), mini refrigerator, hot pot and beverage paraphernalia. The bath's shower had a handheld spray head in addition to the overhead rainshower. I never expected there to be a 2-sided round mirror on adjustable arm, so I was pleasantly surprised. Blow dryer is provided (I had brought my own travel dryer and didn't need to use it for once), as well as steam iron & ironing board. The room has plenty of outlets to charge all devices, and a good sized TV. The pool area is lovely, and the water is very warm with only a touch of chlorine. I think the depth is only 3 feet at both ends, so don't expect to really swim, unless you're a kiddo. Shower room has two stalls with body wash and shampoo provided. But for me personally, the best feature of Summit Hotel Tacloban is the restaurant for breakfast buffet, and dinner, and the lobby lounge's potato lunch bar. What a spread! It beats the luxury hotel's breakfast buffet we have enjoyed in Quezon City, and costs less, too! It pleases me to see how well trained and refined the wait staff is. So you can imagine how it bothered me to see this morning a big family of Balikbayans come to the buffet in their pj's! Their behavior in the Summit is more acceptable for a 2-star establishment in the US that provides free breakfast. I hope the Summit maintains well their building and service. Lord willing, we will plan to stay there again the next time we are privileged to visit Leyte.

The only downside is that the beach could be better; you have to take stairs down to the water instead of having a nice shoreline like the one at Shangri-La Mactan. Other than that, it's a great resort. We truly had a blast there with the kids, and we will definitely come back!
