4-Star Hotels in Central Visayas, Philippines

We had a great time staying at Mercure Hotel. The room I’ve booked was spacious and comfortable. They have sauna and good hotel amenities. We enjoyed the pool area as well. Food selections was great too. It has lots of restaurants , coffee shops and stores so it’s quite convenient and enjoyable. Definitely would come back again! The rates at Trip.com were attractive. Definitely would recommend!

While the standard rooms are pretty basic, the individual bungalows are fantastic. The natural surroundings are truly amazing. You get your own private beach, which is wide, white, and has incredibly fine, powdery sand. Right in front of the beach is a snorkeling area where you can spot many starfish. If you swim closer to the buoys, you'll find some coral and more fish. In a cluster of coral to the left, there's an anemone that's often home to a family of Nemo clownfish. Be careful though: on the right side, near the beach of the neighboring hotel, there are many sea urchins in the shallower areas. If you're snorkeling there, make sure to wear beach shoes. The sea faces south, so you can catch both the sunrise in the morning and the sunset in the evening.

Excellent Stay! I recently stayed at this accomodation and was really impressed. The room was well-equipped — it had a coffee maker, rice cooker, induction cooker, microwave, fridge and washing machine…and even a garment steamer! There was a steady supply of drinking water, a big TV, and fast, reliable Wi-Fi. I also appreciated the bathrobes provided — a nice touch of comfort. It also had a gym and a pool but unfortunately, I stayed on a Monfay and its closed for cleaning and maintenance. The place is quiet since it’s located away from the city noise but still conveniently close to the airport. The only small issue I had was figuring out how the hot shower works, but everything else was perfect. Overall, it was a great stay and I’d definitely come back!

The room was clean and spacious enough for the three of us, and the service was good value for the price. Access from the room to the pool was very convenient. The swimming pool is large and suitable for both kids and adults, with shallow areas on both sides for non-swimmers and deeper sections in the middle for more confident swimmers. Breakfast was plated and reasonable for its price. The room tended to be a bit humid, and the pool had a strong chlorine level, so using swimming goggles may be helpful. Overall, it was a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

All staff and crew have good customer service. The resort also offers free transfers to and from any point in Alona. They also offer airport transfer for only ₱100.00. Wifi connection is strong and breakfast menu is great! Most of the guests are foreigners. If your departure flight is hours away from the scheduled check out, you may leave your luggage at the front desk for free. had a very relaxing stay here and the resort is highly recommended😊✨

I have been using Costabella for nearly 20 years and have always considered it a pleasant, well maintained hotel. In fact I even got married here! However, during my most recent stay, the experience fell noticeably short of expectations. We booked a poolside room and, after check in, I was genuinely surprised to find that the room was on the third floor. Based on my many previous stays, I had always understood poolside rooms to be those adjacent to the pool at ground level. If you are booking a poolside room, be aware that this may not be the case and expectations should be managed accordingly. The room itself was a little dated in style, but it was clean, comfortable, and well looked after. Housekeeping was consistent throughout the stay, which helped offset the older décor. The pool area is relatively small but generally well maintained. Unfortunately, it was extremely crowded throughout the day due to the large number of day pass visitors. As a result, there were no chairs or loungers available for hotel guests for most of the day, which was disappointing. On a positive note, the beach area was clean and pleasant. The food was the main let down. The buffet breakfast would rate no more than 4 out of 10. Much of the food had not been replenished, including empty juice and coffee stations, and what remained was cold and unappetising. However, it was better on the second day. Dinner was equally disappointing. Several main courses were served cold and had to be sent back to the kitchen twice. In the end, we cancelled two seafood dishes altogether, as reheating raised concerns about food quality and safety. The steak, which was once a highlight of Costabella for me, was extremely tough and far below the standard I have previously enjoyed. Overall, Costabella still has many positive qualities, but this stay did not reflect the standards I have previously associated with the resort and this will be my last visit. Unless the quality of the food and the management of guest capacity improve, I would find it difficult to recommend Costabella based on this recent experience.

I loved that there were so many pools! The waterslide was super fun~ I had pre-booked an event for my birthday, and they said I'd get a bottle of wine and a cake, but only the wine was prepared. Still, the room was spacious and had a washing machine, which was great.

Booked a deluxe twin room for my two-day, one-night free and easy trip to Cebu. It was great value for money. The hotel is tucked away in a quiet spot despite being in a busy area. The breakfast buffet was good, and there's a huge mall next door with a food court and a big supermarket. I even found some local Cebu specialties like dark chocolate-covered dried mangoes, which were more than half the price compared to Manila airport. However, the city center of Cebu isn't the best environment, though it felt safe enough.

Conveniently located close enough to Alona beach to easily access all the restaurants, beaches, shops etc by scooter or tuktuk but also far away enough to not constantly be bothered by loud motors, tons of roosters and all that other noise. Rooms are spacious and clean, equipped with safe, fridge, hair dryer and plenty of racks and hooks to hang and dry your clothes. There's also an outdoor gym area and the pool is big and good for swimming. Plus the wifi is very stable and great for working remotely. Service is friendly and helpful, the restaurant is good too. Can recommend the hotel

We really enjoyed our stay at Luxu. All the facilities are brand new and very well maintained. The service is exceptional. Breakfast was good and offered a choice of Asian and western style options, though got repetitive after few days. The only issue we had was that rooms were not soundproofed well, so you get all the noises from the corridor, other rooms and the street, what could be disturbant for some. Count with about 15 minutes walk besides a road if going for the beach.
