The rooms are dated the towels and bedding are nasty and the staff is slow and don't care about the customer. But the location and price are ok.

Great location but poor quality.

Beachfront room with superb morning view of calm ocean and boats. Restaurant food was great for the low price, and cheap drinks. Staff were very good, friendly, helpful and efficient.
Unfortunately, the room itself was a major letdown. Paid a top price and was disappointed with the quality of the fixtures and fittings. Room not cleaned for 3 days, sheets nor towels changed, no soap in the bathroom. And the big one, no fresh tap water for the hand basin or shower. Huge shock to brush one's teeth and discover you are using sea water. Showering in salt water does not leave one feeling clean nor refreshed.

too expensive just for the good location
good location - beachfront, can hear live music at night, near restaurants
4.3
PROS: location and 2 double beds available
CONS: housekeeping is upon request, threadbare towels (bring your own), bath water is saltwater (can't use for brushing teeth, must buy bottled water), bugs

right at the beach
at the beach, decent food in hotel restaurant

Pyramid Resort is right at the beach in Alona beach, half hour by taxi from the pier in Tagbilaran. An unaffiliated taxi is much cheaper than the transport offered by the hotel. The rooms are in basic cottages, fairly clean. Everything worked - shower, air cond etc, even a tiny TV with poor signal. No wifi in our room, only in the restaurant area. The food was just ok but there are lots of better restaurants nearby. They had a nice female band in the evenings, pleasant to listen to while sitting on a table only steps away from the ocean.
The best part was that we could just walk a few steps from our room to the water... If one goes island hopping or dolphin watching one can arrange the boat to come right in front of the hotel.

Great location on the beach but musty rooms
Located right on the beach, nice balcony for relaxing

The location is the best thing going for this hotel. It is right on Alona Beach where all the restaurants are located. There is live music at night in front of the restaurant. The room we stayed in was a little musty and dark, however I did see another room that was much nicer. The resort has a pool but that is used for diving courses in the mornings.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
Do NOT take the tour to Oslob, Cebu to see the whale sharks. This tour is not associated with the hotel but instead is offered by guys along the beach. The boat ride is very long and uncomfortable and the whale shark experience is unnatural. Go to Donsol instead and get a proper interaction with these big fish.

Nice pool but rooms are not that impressive
Situated in a good place just in front of the beach, nice pool.

We did not really enjoy our stay in this resort. The room was not clean, full of dust and cobwebs. The wall by the bed had water stains from the upper room. Wifi access was limited. Though the staffs were polite.
