4-Star Hotels in Cebu

Stayed at Holiday Inn Cebu for a short night before an early departure, and it was a pleasant experience. Despite arriving after midnight, we were greeted with a warm and friendly welcome. The room was new, clean, spacious, and very comfortable—especially the pillows, which made for a great night’s sleep. Breakfast was good, although a wider variety of options would make it even better. We didn’t get much time to explore the hotel’s facilities as we checked out early the next morning, but we’d definitely love to return and stay here again.

Wow. All we can say is thank you to each and every staff member from cleaners to breakfast and bar staff and also front desk and door men. We don't want to leave this place. . we have 8 more days in manilla but wish we could stay here instead. We honestly felt like we were home the staff are so friendly and nothing was too much for them. Their politeness and attention to detail are above average and we are already planning our next trip. Ohh the beds.. omg they are so comfortable our son didn't want to get out. Honestly feel sad leaving this hotel . Massive thank you to everyone highly highly recommend this hotel. Mahal Kita to all of you. Melbourne with love.

It’s one of my favorite hotels in Cebu, and I’ve stayed here several times. This time I arrived about an hour before check-in, and the front desk staff kindly prepared a room right away. But, the first room faced another building, so I requested a different one. I was eventually moved to a city-view room. If that room was already available, I wish I had been assigned it from the beginning, as changing rooms with heavy luggage was inconvenient😥 Other than that, the stay was comfortable. One thing to note is that only bath towels are provided, with no face towels.

The island was beautiful and we really loved the place. However, I was disappointed with the drone policy. Even though I already had a permit, drone flying was only allowed in one specific area, which did not feel safe because it was surrounded by water. It would be better to provide safer and more flexible flying locations for visitors with approved permits.

We spent a lovely family holiday at Solea Seaview Resort during the Chinese New Year break and had a really enjoyable stay. The staff were consistently helpful and welcoming. Our room was a good size, in reasonable condition, with clean bed linen and towels. The balcony offered a beautiful sea view, which we truly appreciated every day. Breakfast was also very nice, with a wide variety of food options to choose from. The absolute highlight for us was the number of swimming pools and the fantastic aquapark — free of charge for guests — plus a trampoline area for a small additional fee. The children absolutely loved it! The hotel also encourages guests to leave reviews, and as a lovely compliment, my son received free access to the children’s playroom — such a thoughtful touch. The beach is not the most Instagrammable, but the sea was perfectly fine for swimming practice. One small downside was that the gym operates only from 8am to 8pm, so late-night training isn’t possible if that’s your preference. Overall, a solid 4 out of 5 — good value for money and a great option for a family holiday.

I love this place because it is a big property with many different parts and things to do. There really many pools, an aqua park, an inflatable island on a large pool, a game room, a bar, a restaurant, a souvenir shop (that also sells basic medicines and toiletry needs), bathrooms, a garden, the beach front. If you are a family with children of different ages and even if you have grandparents in tow, this would be perfect. They’re not stingy with lounge chairs either and in one pool, you can play volleyball. Their rooms are good sized and comes with a small ref, hair dryer, a carafe and free tea and coffee. Their breakfast buffet is awesome with sooo many food and drinks to choose from. There is a BDO cash machine and their staff are very helpful and polite. Grab food are not allowed to deliver at the lobby, they can only make it to the gate of the property and while it is not far to walk there, you can ask for free shuttle to bring you to the gate to claim your order and then back to the lobby. They also take credit cards and water stations on each floor where you can refill your water bottles. There are 2 large water bottles in each room. I think the one issue I have is - I perceived this resort to be family friendly because of the many kinds of activities for different ages but our rooms came with bathrooms that has glass wall where a person outside the bathroom can pull up the blinds. I mean, why? When I booked the rooms, it didn’t mention that the bathroom would be like that. I wish they would provide a distinction during booking so that people who don’t want bathrooms to be like that can avoid it.

If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway surrounded by nature, with a refreshing atmosphere in a remote location and especially if you’re into advanced diving this is an excellent place to stay. We stayed for just 1 night, as we wanted to explore other activities and we’re not advanced divers, so we decided to change our plans. A quick tip: prepare cash in advance. The nearest ATM is quite far from the resort, so you’ll need to take a tricycle or rent a motorbike. The resort only accepts cash. The highlight for us was the stunning sea view and breathtaking sunset. The property isn’t very large, but with plenty of trees it feels secluded and peaceful. The food was also delicious.

Location is good - walkable to restaurants a lot of them are Korean-owned which reflects higher prices except for Filipino-themed cuisine. Hotel rates are higher so I expected a higher level of service however, I was deeply shocked that when I asked for a bucket of ice, they said they charge P100. I am a traveler from the US and my job exposes me to travel usually 3 to 5 star hotels this hotel pretends to be a four-star hotel but the shocking charge of 100 pesos which is less than two dollars. It’s just so ridiculous. It leaves a bad memory of this hotel for me. I think they are monetizing every little thing and that does not make them classy. We were in a group of four, and we also went to the dinner at patio Gavino rooftop and took the Buffet for 1000 pesos per person, but the selection was limited. It was just a good place to experience being on the rooftop however I have been eating out literally every day in my five weeks trip to the Philippines so I can compare prices the 1000 pesos was not justified maybe more appropriate for 600 pesos per person because there was nothing great about the food selection. I also went in the pool and it was a great four hours of swimming, but considering that they catered to a lot of tourist they should extend their full hours to at least until 10 PM because it is super hot in the Philippines. I can’t understand why they have short pool hours when that is really the main attraction of the hotel. What is great though is there bathroom which is air-conditioned and pretty clean to take showers the breakfast is also pretty good and we had complementary breakfast for two days. The staff were great, but I cannot forget the 100 peso charge for ice this hotel should install ice machines in each floor since that is a big necessity considering how hot it is so for the owners I wish you would reconsider your business way of doing things and trying not to charge every little thing. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth and I do not want or believe I need to go back to your hotel.

I absolutely loved this hotel! The grounds are clean, beautiful, and meticulously maintained, with great attention to detail – which is so important! The service is a perfect 100/10; they won't let you think about anything but enjoying your vacation. One of the best massages I've ever had, and the staff are incredibly pleasant and genuinely knowledgeable, noticing every little thing and ready to help with whatever you need. I definitely recommend it!

Solea is a very large resort with plenty of activities and amenities to enjoy. It features eight swimming pools, giving guests lots of options to relax, as well as two restaurants and a rooftop bar where you can enjoy meals and drinks throughout your stay. Because of the resort's size and popularity, you can expect it to get quite busy. Check-in and check-out lines can take some time, and it would be great if they could add another reception counter to better accommodate peak hours. The same goes for the breakfast buffet, especially on weekends, where queues can become quite long. On a positive note, the staff are friendly, accommodating, and always willing to help. The rooms are spacious, with plenty of room for luggage, and each room includes a balcony, which is a nice spot to enjoy a morning coffee or unwind with a drink in the evening. Overall, Solea is a great destination for families, groups, or anyone looking for a resort with a wide range of facilities and activities. Just be prepared for longer wait times during peak periods due to the high volume of guests.
