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!

Service with a smile but really lip-service. Cable was not working, jacuzzi was broken, no hot water, and phone did not work. That made room service out of the question. The pool doesn't seem like it has been cleaned and weeks with the grime on the tiling. Every time I brought up an issue, the staff were apologetic, but nothing was done to improve the situation. You have to carry cash everywhere because you can't bill things to your room. This is supposed to be a luxury hotel. Staff were hit or miss. The pool girl was more interested in telling you the rules rather than making you feel welcome. Efficiency was not evident. Pool service was slow as mentioned elsewhere. Also, a service charge is added onto your bill. I spent way too much money here as you are trapped with nothing close by. Do yourself a favor and book elsewhere and save a good chunk of money. This hotel should be a third of the price, considering how many amenities were not functioning. The rooms are a good size, but I don't really care for wicker used as indoor furniture. All the furnishings in the hotel feel worn and dated. Waterfront is a misnomer because the view is of the airport. I am taking this franchise off my list. The only thing worth mentioning is the breakfast buffet. However, I Purchased it with my room. The restaurant tends to be over priced, but the food is decent. The casino has a similar menu, but with increased prices.

Cockroach. Big fat cockroach found in the sink at 4 AM. Called for housekeeping to remove it and…read morethey did not come for 10 mins which is a long time for someone who is extremely afraid of roaches. And where there is one roach, there's usually a family. I would expect at Radisson hotel to be cleaner and roach-free. Their king sized bed is actually two double beds pushed together. Sleeping near the middle of the bed meant back pain since it is not one big mattress and we were essentially sleeping on the edge of a double mattress. Another downside is that they would not allow for strong smelling fruits and foods to be brought into the room. I wanted to purchase a small handful of dried fish and local delicacies as souvenirs, but I didn't want to be fined by the hotel. Our flight left early in the morning so we couldn't find time to go before the airport. We didn't have a chance to visit any of the amenities. The pool looked nice from afar, and we wanted to visit the spa but we could never make it before 10 PM. The location is generally good as it's close to the mall where you can dine, shop, and exchange currency. Overall, this stay was incredibly disappointing.

The gym in the basement has very basic aging equipment though, and the pool was emptied out at the time of my stay. Nonetheless there's a big grassy field with hammocks and the pool bar was open but quiet. I got a Suite which was very spacious and came with lounge access with happy hours and daily clothes pressing complimentary. The breakfast choices were good. I especially liked their Chinese food selection of dim sum and fried rice and noodles and congee. My only issue was that as a night shift worker, they weren't able to accomodate any requests for overnight housekeeping. Still on the whole it's a solid 4 stars.

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.

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 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?

Overall we had a great experience at this resort, we checked in and they brought our bags to the room that were nicely AC'd, had a mini fridge, purified water, tea, and instant coffee along with a kettle. There's 3 pools and private beach access, not much more you can ask for! The main restaurant is allegro, which is a buffet, but you can order items a la carte. If you choose when booking, you can have it so breakfast is included with your room, which we did and I highly recommend doing. The breakfast buffet is great! Many Filipino, American, and other Asian food options. I didn't go for lunch and went once for dinner, it's about $23 and it was the Cebu food fest night, I think I would've preferred going on a normal night and I don't think it was really worth the price. We didn't checkout their seafood restaurant, which is over the water so can't speak for that. We loved the staff, they were so nice and attentive and we took a picture with our main bartender on our last night! The resort did their best to make sure we had the best trip possible and I would recommend this resort if you're looking for a place to stay in mactan-Cebu.

Great learning about her Don was great getting me checked in and mixing the drink during dinner Hana was also awesome during dinner times when she was up there ensuring it all ran smoothly Also I want you thank the chef that was at the executive lounge during the evening servings. Her soup making was on point and the spread was great too. I did her singing from around corner which made me sing the same tune in my head the rest of the meal. The hotel is a little off the beaten path but in a location to provide quick transit to Cebu City / Business and the airport. Also there a 1.6km route for running near the hotel if that's your thing too. Check in was a breeze and getting to my room was easy. Although it wasn't quick cause it seems like the elevators move slowly or and you can't really hear them when they come to your level for opening. Pool and gym are a highlight of the hotel. Neither was overly packed. I went to the Lounge bar/area on the top floor it provides great views and live music on the night I went. Chicken wings and fries could've been better. The room was just ok. I had a view of the water and another building under construction. There was an off scent when entering and felt like it dissipated over time until I left out and came back after some time. Bed was really comfortable and a lot of options came with my stay due to my member leave. Daily laundry was a + along with refreshing of the mini bar. I did return one night and my door was open. I sat at the end of the hallway cause I thought they were cleaning it but they were actually in the room beside mine and didn't know why my door was propped open. Overall I'd choose to stay here again due to a good location however maybe a different type of room and view.

There are lots of well dressed locals enjoying the holiday, but it is slowing down an already understaffed hotel of this size. For Cebu, it's a bit oversold as a full service restaurant, claims to be near the mall and the beach but only one and a half of those are true. The hotel is across from a local bus station so the honking and street noise starts by 7am. If you are a hard sleeper, eat early, don't want a cocktail or don't mind not being near the beach, you can stay here and enjoy.

Other than that, it's a great resort. We truly had a blast there with the kids, and we will definitely come back!
