This island resort is a beautiful get away for travelers of all interests. The coral reefs are gorgeous to view while scuba diving and snorkeling. The staff is friendly and goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. The fresh displays of flowers are breath taking.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
visit the coral gardens.

A private boat will take you to this island paradise where decades of highly personalized service from its owner and the staff greet you and will linger long after you have left. The island ambiance was serene and relaxing. Nightly dinner and entertainment was fun. The Spa has incredible views of the bay.

quiet, not much guests during our stay. they had a special honeymoon tree planting ceremony for me and the hubby which was a very good surprise for us. food was expensive and the choices were pretty much limited.

Perfect getaway
Spacious suites, nice staff, area in general
10
Was a little nervous about this place cause of some bad reviews but now that we have stayed there we know how good it is, cause this place is really a perfect relaxing getaway.
We stayed in a junior suite and our room was wonderful. Spacious, good bed, nice bathroom with shower and flowerfilled bath tub. A balcony with a hammock and a view.
The food was really good with a varied selection at breakfast buffet and either a set menu or buffet for dinner. You can also order food to your room at any time.
The staff is fantastic, looking to your every need.
The resort in all has loads of places were you can relax or do different activities.
The 2-3 hour trip to get there seems long but it is totally worth it.
So dont be nervous about booking this place, it's just what you are looking for if you want a relaxing time to wind up.

Great hotel, fantastic location, but the rooms...
Location, Facilities, Friendly Staff

The Badian Resort & Spa is a great hotel located on a small island off main Cebu.
With an exceptionally friendly staff and excellent location it is ideal for couples and honeymooners.
Only issue would be the rooms which were somewhat in need of a facelift.
Otherwise would highly recommend this place to others!

Great place for a romantic getaway but expensive
Spacious rooms and welcoming staff

We stayed in a spacious Junior Suite room, had a huge bed, and a nice veranda that had a sea view. It was partially blocked with plants/trees which provided some privacy to the open-air bathtub and shower that was just next to the veranda. My wife immediately noticed no TV but I was OK with it for some detachment. The ref was small and did not actually cool stuff but they brought bucket of ice to the room when requested. The water heater was not working but they offered us a room transfer because repair can't be done till the following morning. Since we liked the room's view, we just stayed and they had the heater fixed the following morning as promised. We did not find any wifi connection during our stay and they were also having problems with some equipment since power went out for a while for the 2 nights we stayed. The food tastes great and I think they must have an excellent chef. It's a bit pricey though comparing buffet selections you can get from other 5-star resorts or hotels in the city. The breakfast buffet definitely had limited selections. They had some entertainment though during dinner and the staff surprised us with a serenade since it was our anniversary which gave a personal touch to our stay. We also had an enjoyable tree planting ceremony. There is only one swimming pool located near the restaurant, not a big one and no kiddie pool as well. The overall facilities is not that impressive. We did not try their spa facilities because it was too expensive comparing to other high-end spa or resorts in the city. Finally, a group of staff bids farewell with a serenade as we boarded the boat on our way home. They are really very good in making your stay a personalized experience. For a romantic getaway and to enjoy each other's company away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it's a perfect place. I think it's too expensive though for the overall resort facilities. I'll have to think twice to come back unless I get good deals from agoda again.

Lovely hotel and service with a great smile

the place was quaint and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. any time we needed a service, they didn't hesitate to help out. the food was quite nice as well. the only downside is that this is quite far from the airport (3 hours), though once there, spending 3-4 days away from everything was splendid. the place could have had a fitness room.

It was an amazing experience.The Badian island is isolated and not so crowded. The staffs were so friendly and helpful. The seafood was amazing. We did quite a lot of watersports there. They had fireworks for Chinese New Year and it was srtunning. We will definitely get back again next time!
