Cebu Island, Philippines Hotel Rooms at the Independent

Please disregard comments made for Bohol Sea resort as we had a wonderful time there.Comments were meant for Piere guesthouse in Manduae.OOOPS sorry. Bohol searesort was wonderful, staff great. Very helpful. Families with kids would enjoy it very much. Even couples can have a wonderful time. You feel very much at home. Will visit again for sure.

I have stayed here a couple of times while doing relief work after Typhoon Yolanda, and have always been please.

Everything is well and good. I'm going back and stay again in this botique hotel.

Excellent place to base your exploration of Philippine Islands! Nice "retreat" from the bustle of urban centers, but crowds are available by choice! Chose to travel in air-con bus, regular bus, tricycle or taxi according to your budget or cultural taste. Air flights are cheap as well as local hotels. Medical attention is often "package priced"!

Everything there is perfect!!! From the staff, room, place up to the food...A place where you can relax and enjoy the pool, view, gym and ither facilities. If God's will, we will go back there to bring the kids!

At the Cebu-R-Hotel i had no issues at all to talk about,things could not be better..

Uncomplicated. Stylish. Compact. Complete. Wow. Comfortable. Nice. Delightful. Affordable. New.Clean. Inviting. Luxurious. I can't describe it but I highly recommend it for those who seek comfort while in Cebu.

This is my family's favorite destination. And each time, we always have such a great time. As a frequent visitor they have valued our loyalty and rewarded us an upgrade to a suite room. Only concern and somewhat annoying experience we had is when my father went for the buffet breakfast, the staff at the door refused to let my father in because he is wearing a pair of slippers, and we had notice that others who are wearing the same slippers are let in. Is it because we are locals and other guests are foreigners? I hope this is just an oversight and not a common practice, if it is, then something is wrong here. The food price does not come cheap. Prepare to pay big bucks for food and drinks. Otherwise, our overall experience here is great. The kids had so much fun at the water park. The hotel and resort staff are great with customer service. The facility is well kept and very clean.

Badian Island Resort is a beautiful, relaxing and welcoming place to stay. It is worth the three-hour drive from Cebu airport. You are welcomed on arrival with a flower garland and drink. My partner and I stayed in a pool villa, which was massive, with a stunning view from our private pool. Every day the staff decorate the rooms with flowers. There is only one restaurant on the island but dinner is served on the beach or by the pool. The staff will try to up-sell you meal packages which are quite expensive (but do include a large amount of food and drink). It is cheaper to order off the menu each day. Happy hour is between 4:15 and 6:15 at Shell Bar on the beach. There is also a games room where you can enjoy your half-price cocktails while playing a game of billiards. The resort offers a number of excursions off the island, including a guided tour of Kawasan Falls, island-hopping and whale-shark watching. It is worth saving some extra money if you wish to partake in more than one of these, as they are quite pricey. The resort has a PADI dive centre. You can obtain your full diving accreditation in two days or do a half-day beginner course. The island is close to coral reefs filled with amazing marine life. The customer service is excellent; they will go out of their way to accommodate you. The island is great if you are looking for a quiet, relaxing holiday; there were few other guests during our stay in August.

This property is close to Ayala Center Cebu. One jeepney ride away in any direction & you will be somewhere that's both interesting and lively. Though traffic is noticeable here around 7am and 5pm but its location is an added plus if you want somewhere close to the business and leisure area. The amenities were complete but pretty basic which is common in bed and break fast property. Overall, it's clean and highly recommend this to everyone who would like to visit cebu.
