The stairs to get to our lodge was a bit much, but also worth it.

Luxurious with tons of things to do on site. Food was great.

We ended up at the waterfront suite which sounded wonderful, until we had to navigate the 127 steps at least one roundtrip per day. For some reason, there were a lot of mosquitoes in our suite. The beach is not swim- or laying on- friendly.

Interesting, perched on a cliff on the water. The gardens are lush. There are a lot of tranquil places where anyone could wander. Sunset views are amazing. The included breakfast selection is good. The restaurant menu is substantial and the food is pretty good. Staff members were helpful. Richard, our van driver and “tour guide” did a fantastic job! Concierge was very helpful in arranging our trips and tours.

First, steps down the cottage. It was very far from the main building but we already know about it so it was alright but I just want you all to be mindful of it when booking. Second downside of it all is there was no way to communicate to the main reception for anything you need. You may need to ring their number from your very own mobile phone or go up a thousand stairs to talk to them. Lastly, the jurassic park mosquitoes that attack during sun down. Make sure to bring off lotion. Mosquito zapper is also provided for the room. This is also a given as the forest was lush surrounding it.

The property was easy to find as it was just along the road and staff are happy to sort out issues with the booking. Our cottage was huge, clean and could easily accommodate all 5 of us. It was comfortable and temperature inside the cottage was cool as aircon and 2 fans are available to regulate it. Small fridge, kitchenwares, water dispenser are also provided. The cottage was peaceful and with a rewarding view of the sunset. Very close to the beach.

Quite and tranquil. No unnecessary noise at night, so you can clearly hear the waves. A perfect place to unwind. Food is good, fresh because they are prepared as you order, at a reasonable price. Pool is available, in case you don't feel like going to the beach.

Staff are professional but not very friendly . They go by the books and don't really do anything out of ordinary.

Fantasy lodge stands true to its name. Located close to the beach between Maolboal and Oslob, this place offers wide range of facilities. One can enjoy Kawa bath, spa, a swimming pool and good food while enjoying the beautiful view. The staff are professional and are always available to help. Rooms are spacious and comfortable.

The check-in process proved to be "ugh!" as I had already furnished all necessary information during the booking. While presenting a photo ID is understandable, the concierge insisted on a somewhat cumbersome additional step. I was required to connect to the Wi-Fi to scan a QR code for a self-check-in, during which I had to provide redundant details such as my full name (once again), age, gender, and nationality - the same information was also requested for my mom and brother. When I inquired about the necessity of the information, the response was met with a perplexed expression. Within the rooms, there were bath towels and pool towels available, but there was no washcloths nor blankets (bed sheets it is!). Lastly, the location and entrance posed a challenge, situated on a blind curve. Parking was restricted, with only three spots available, two of which were already occupied by their service vehicles. Oh, by the way, we stayed for 3 nights at this place - their food was nothing special.

My mom thoroughly enjoyed her delightful kawa bath! We were assigned Room 6, which was a good sized room that featured two sliding doors opening to a balcony with a view of the pool. The premises were well-maintained.

While we loved the natural aspect of not having an air conditioner, it would have been nice to have the option of air conditioning. But we really didn't need it!

The grounds were amazing, the pool, the different chill-out areas, the oceanfront deck. We loved our room (The Dome) and the views from the balcony and the bathroom. We loved the Kawa Baths with essential oils. The food was always delicious!!

Mattress wasnt a traditional mattress and was too firm.

This was a haven from tourist destinations close by. We could see the ocean from the shower! 🤩 Service was a bit slow but the staff was super friendly and the food was really good!

There are lots of ants in our cabin and because theres no AC we always open the windows crickets and flying termites (gamo gamo) at night.

Nice view, very relaxing, spacious cabins and friendly staff.

We stayed in a honeymoon sweet? The room was interesting but there were insects. I understand it cuz the room is in the middle of nature .. but we were a bit scared.

This place has wonderful views and unique facilities. They also exchanged money (55 pesos / dollar). The bath was also interesting.

Really loved the stay but the the electricity kept going down when we were using the sauna in the room. Also warm water didn’t come out. We wanted to do the sauna and the jacuzzi at the same time but in the end, we had to give up the jacuzzi for the electric problem. I went up and down the narrow steps to call the staff for help several times, it would nice to have a phone in the room.

Beautiful and quiet sweet lodge. Definitely recommend the Kawa bath. Staffs were very friendly and helpful. The view is fantastic and you will enjoy the peaceful atmosphere with birds chirping.

One aspect that was disappointing was the honeymoon setup. We had expected a simple yet romantic arrangement, but it turned out to be quite basic. The addition of a few scattered petals on the bed hardly justified the extra 500 php charge. I cannot recommend it based on this experience. Please check the photo for reference. Another letdown occurred during breakfast at the restaurant. The staff there seemed rather unpleasant, and although this perception may vary from person to person, the overall atmosphere was far from welcoming. Considering it was our honeymoon, the lack of a warm and friendly environment was disheartening. However, we acknowledge and appreciate one staff member who brightened our day—the person who delivered our food to our room. He was extremely polite and had a constant smile on his face. Despite the blandness of the food, his exceptional service made a positive impact on our experience. It is worth noting that the issue of bland food might be subjective. Unfortunately, most of the dishes we ordered did not meet our expectations in terms of flavor, resulting in us being unable to finish them. I do not recommend the Ceasar salad.

The Deluxe Bungalow was truly worth the price. Not only did it offer a breathtakingly beautiful view, but the facilities within our room were exceptional. The inclusion of a jacuzzi and sauna added an extra touch of luxury and relaxation to our stay.

Wooden deck needs to be repaired in some places. Gravel section between the reception and rooms. It would be nice if the sundeck chairs had some cushions provided to make it more comfortable.

Views across the ocean to neighbouring island. The deep pool. Great shower. Food prepared at the onsite restaurant. Staff very polite.

Restaurant service is very slow

This place is amazing. Located in a quiet area of the island, you can spend time in nature and enjoy sightseeing. We loved all facilities and the tranquillity of the place. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was just renovated and with an amazing view on the sea. We spent the week whale watching and visiting the nearby waterfalls

Sea was rough and beach very rocky, so not great if you are looking for a beach resort destination. Lodge is build to be out a and explore. Location quite remote, but perfect for a pit stop if you’re traveling around Cebu island.

We booked ‘The Dome’ or the Deluxe Suite with an incredible sea view: one of the most special rooms I’ve ever stayed in. Pool was great, restaurant was good, nice list of activities. Easy hop on to and off from Ceres bus liner.
