5-Star Hotels in Central Visayas, Philippines

We stayed in Hennan Tawala for 1 night and the experience was amazing! Excellent customer service from front desk to the bell boys even the swimming pool attendant. Everyone was so nice! the buffet has a lot of variety but i wsih it could have more in totality it was filling. we also enjoyed using the pools and availed their 50 percent cocktail promos. It was a pleasant stay , we will go back definitely.

Reception was a bit cold. Emailed them we’re celebrating our wedding anniversary and requested a surprise room set up for my husband yet the manager does not read email on time as they knocked on the door at 6pm to offer the “surprise”. Bathroom toiletries are ill equipped— for the price of the room I don’t want to be asking room services for lotion or earbuds! Booked a celebratory dinner at Dip, their open wines are past their acceptable rate, we requested to open a fresh bottle. Surprised to see them return the “expired ones” back on shelf after using an “oxy vacuum machine”. Sad. Our server is very good and polite, a snappy young man (sorry forgot his name). Thank you dong, you’re really attentive. Food: Beef cheek was good, but not the Wagyu beef, it has a lot of inedible parts— disappointing for the price. The side dishes were good. Breakfast is an okay spread.

Thank you, Fili Hotel at NUSTAR Cebu, for making my mom’s 66th birthday truly unforgettable. From the warm welcome, birthday cake, and room upgrade to your exceptional hospitality, every detail made our family feel so special. It was a beautiful and memorable staycation for our senior parents and their grandkids. We’ll always treasure this experience.

The hotel isn't far from the airport, about a 20-minute drive. The environment is nice, and there are two security checks. The pool bar on the top floor offers great views both day and night. The room is quite spacious and has a view of the harbor.

This was by far the most satisfying hotel stay I've ever had. Firstly, the price was incredibly reasonable, yet the services available even before check-in were extensive, making my arrival comfortable from the very first moment. I also used the bar and had afternoon tea; both the atmosphere and service were wonderful, allowing for a truly luxurious experience. The room was spotless, and the facilities and comfort were impeccable. The direct connection to a shopping complex made shopping and dining incredibly convenient. Furthermore, with a casino on-site, there's plenty to enjoy without even leaving the hotel. From service and location to facilities and value for money, everything was outstanding. Without a doubt, this was the best hotel I've ever stayed at. I definitely want to come back again.

My family and I recently stayed at Crimson for a night, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. My daughter absolutely loved the place, and the only word she could repeatedly say was, “AMAZING.” The buffet breakfast was outstanding, especially the wide variety of options available for kids. It was thoughtful touches like these that made our stay even more enjoyable. The foam party at the infinity pool was also a big highlight and added so much fun and excitement for the children. What truly made our stay memorable was the hospitality of the staff. Everyone was incredibly accommodating, warm, and approachable throughout our visit. During checkout, a piece of luggage belonging to a guest from Room 619 was accidentally loaded into our car. As soon as we discovered it, we immediately contacted the concierge, and the taxi driver kindly returned it to the hotel right away. Overall, we had a truly wonderful and memorable stay at the resort. Thank you for the excellent service and experience — we would gladly return and highly recommend Crimson to others.

The absolute highlight of this hotel is definitely the view. The room facilities are pretty standard, as it's an older hotel. The kids absolutely loved the pool area, especially the slide. In the afternoon, when the tide went out, we could go to the beach and collect starfish, and we saw so many fish! It's a shame we only stayed one night; we'd love to go back again if we get the chance!

Great views and a secret beach, but the pool is absolutely amazing! The interior looks a bit dated, but it's very well-maintained. The staff are friendly too; truly a place I'd recommend for a lifetime.

The rooms are a bit old, but still well-maintained. The white sand beach is incredibly beautiful, and having breakfast on the beach is a true delight. If you don't mind a hotel with some signs of age, I'd definitely recommend it. However, on the first day, there was no hot water for the shower, and on the second day, there was no cold water at all. So I had to hold the showerhead up high and let the water drip down, then slowly splash it on myself to avoid getting scalded. The water pressure was extremely low, like a tiny trickle, so it took ages to shower and I never really felt clean.

An impeccable hotel in a quiet yet central location. It's a ten-minute walk to a lively restaurant street, and you can book island excursions right from the beach. The rooms have a lovely tropical vibe, and the breakfast is fantastic. Haidee and Marlon at the front desk were very welcoming and helpful.
