Pet Friendly Hotels in Central Visayas, Philippines

Overall, our stay at Seda Ayala was mixed, and I would rate it 3 out of 5. The room itself was decent—clean and comfortable enough for a short stay, though nothing particularly memorable. Breakfast offered a wide selection of options, which was appreciated, but unfortunately the taste did not quite match the variety. What really affected our experience, however, was the service at the front desk during checkout. There were three counters open and only a short queue, yet the line barely moved and we ended up waiting for around 15 minutes. As we were in a rush to catch our flight, I approached a staff member named Stephan to ask if I could simply hand over the room keys to speed things up. Instead of assisting, he gave me a hostile look and curtly responded, “I have other customer,” in a tone that felt unnecessarily rude. This interaction overshadowed what was otherwise an average stay. With better service, especially at the front desk, the experience could have been much more pleasant.

I tried this out last time I had a layover flight in Cebu. I booked it because of the low price not knowing anything about it. I was surprised by the cleanliness of the room. It is a dormitory type accommodation but the rooms and facilities are good. This accommodation is highly recommended for those planning to visit Cebu on a budget.

It was one of the best hotel/resort that I have ever stayed! That’s why it was very busy and crowded but in a good way. It has a great location; near airport and not far from the city proper and they have nearby beach. Their opportunity for improvement is perhaps the food. But overall we enjoyed our stay.

The hotel is within walking distance to A'aliamall (about 5 minutes across the road). The staff are efficient. There were many tourists and locals staying there. The air conditioner was old but worked fine. The water pressure in the bathroom was good, and there was no unpleasant smell, which was great. The showerhead was a rain shower type, which was a bit inconvenient, but since it was only for one night, I just dealt with it. Luggage storage was available after check-in and check-out. There was always a guard on the first floor, so security felt good. They were also very friendly and helped with getting Grab or a taxi, and carrying luggage. Highly recommend this hotel for its excellent value for money.

This hotel is very convenient, located only about 20 minutes from the airport, which makes it perfect before a flight. It is a large property, yet it remains surprisingly peaceful. The staff are truly lovely and welcoming. The rooms are very comfortable and well-equipped with everything you might need. The food is excellent, especially the breakfast, which offers a great selection. We spent a fun evening at the Sports Bar — my children really enjoyed all the activities available. The only downside, in my opinion, was that the prices there were quite high. Aside from that, the view from the pool is stunning, and there is a pleasant small beach to enjoy. We had a wonderful stay before catching our flight.

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.

Staying at Oceanica was a great experience who wants to escape the bustle city life.... the views of the beach, garden and mini forests were quite calm and relaxing. If you want to get moving just head to the recreation and fitness facility... If you re hungry just head to the restaurants and bars, and enjoy the delicious foods and refreshing drinks. Room is clean and spacious.. staffs are courteous and nice. Will come back again, next time will tag along our kids.

Simple and convenient place for solo travelers. Breakfast(meal) are delivered to the room. The massage chairs at the lobby is useful while waiting for time.

The hotel is in the heart of the city with everything you need from food, amenities and parties. The hotel itself is strategically located where people are usually gathered (just beside Ayala mall, Sugbo Merkado (my favourite) and any other establishments. The staff are all amazing and friendly. The check-in and check-out process was smoth. Although, when we arrived in the hotel on the first day, many people were on the reception and they were a bit loud, staff could have control the situation. The breakfast buffet was okay, however the bacon were mostly crispy even if it was on the tray for soft bacon ;( still crispy. The pool on the rooftop is superb, big and very clean. Overall, we had a lovely holiday in Cebu and Seda Central Bloc hotel made it even special. Thanks Seda.

I had a great stay! The service was really nice and staff were all friendly and accommodating. The facilities were impressive— especially the gym, which was amazingly clean and well-maintained. The food was excellent, with plenty of options to choose from. Overall, a very enjoyable experience and definitely worth recommending!
