Nice, quiet hotel but small beach front
Privacy and courteous staff
8
we booked a courtyard room for 4 days.
check-in was done efficiently but hotel staff did not note 'honey mooners' on our check-in details
nearby facilities include a supermarket and pharmacy.
most of our time was spent island hopping.
we were lucky to have good sunny weather throughout our stay
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
We were able to bargain to P2700 for 2 people island hopping. This included lunch and 2 bottles of beer.
Do not have the peddlers follow you on board the boat.

OK for a short break
2 Pools, well-manicured grounds, good food
7.7
security on gate: a comfort. grounds: well-manicured. food: very good and not over-expensive. pools: both pools very clean and japanese scuba-divers were not that instrusive, i suppose. room 102: "chabby chic" decor. quite shabby, but good shower water pressure, clean sheets, pillows and mattress (although it was a bit hard). ask for the newer rooms staring with "3" staff: lovely, but could be more attentive at breakfast and dinner. beach: very small, but raked daily. beach view: spoiled by a lot of boats moored in harbour. also, we were surprised to hear that we would have to pay a fee to sunbath on the nearby sandbar. jetski: we booked at 9.15am but they didn't warn us of low tide, so it took 10 minutes to push the jetski out to deep water, so our daughters only had 20 minutes ride.... although we had paid for half-an-hour. not happy. anahata spa: excellent and worth every penny. building works: nobody warned us of the building works, so we were not happy. although they stopped for lunch, after day one, we left the hotel and spent our time outside the hotel. also not happy to see the lack of health & safety procedures on the building site. you should warn guests about the building works.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
Do try to book an Islands Banca Boat Cruise... and book your own boat. Worth every penny. It is only 15 minutes from hotel (taxi 89 Pesos one-way), right-hand side adjacent to Shangri-La Hotel and cost a group of 5 people only 11,600 Pesos for one day including lunch at a floating restaurant, towels, snorkelling gear, snorkel dive and visit to sandbar island in marine sanctuary.

Awful, complete waste of money and time
2.3
From the beginning, we were very disappointed. We had booked early and tried contacting the hotel about our stay, with no response. When we arrived at the hotel, no one had reflected on our requests. We were denied late check out and retired to the room only to find a very unclean, very outdated stay. The "mini bar" and bathroom were moldy, the furniture was all scratched up and the small TV from the 60s had difficulty showing anything in color. Though internet was a huge factor in choosing our stay and paying the cost, it is only available in the open reception area, not in the rooms which was not highlighted.
The pool was dated, the hotel has done nothing to keep up the beach area (trash and stones everywhere) and they had 3 different construction projects going on during their Peak Season, one directly overhead the pool area- blowing debris down on the guests and of course the noise factor. The management for bringing in such a high cost per night, must not be putting ANY of the proceeds back into the place. Even the towels were covered in holes, minimal purchases that could outweigh some of the design flaws, were not taken to ensure a guest has a better stay.
The food was very limited for the cost. The hotel pushes guests to eat inside the area but there are plenty of much lower priced and better food restaurants right outside the hotel. The breakfast was average and the staff were very pushy for tips. We were glad we had knowledge of the Philippines, as we knew the cost for tours, food and services through the hotel was ridiculous over priced, by sometimes 10x more!
We were so grateful to have only spent one night there. I would not recommend this "resort" to anyone ever. There are plenty of other hotels around the area that are better.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
Don't use the White Sands tour bookings. They have plenty of other well qualified guided tours and dives through PADI or local suppliers that will be much cheaper.

nice swimming pool... not beach resort
Beautifully landscaped Resort with nice swimming pool
6.7
The resort is really beautiful with nice landscaping and swimming pools. The rooms size and amenities were good too.
Breakfast was really nice with several options to choose from.
Checked in was a bit rough... we were made to wait in the lobby and the Front office carefully regulated the check-in time.. which was 2:00 PM. Front office also insisted on having the physical copy of the reservation voucher despite having written clearly in the reservation voucher of Agoda that it is OK to show the electronic voucher (which i did over my smartphone).
Overall the entire staff was not so pleasant... the bell-boy would unnecessarily want to shake hand to get some tip despite when I have been carrying my luggage most of the time. The restaurant waiters were sharing private jokes, laughing and smiling for no reason.
Dinner portions are short for a meal.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
I found the taxi drivers in Cebu area to be nice and helping.

"Ideal location for relaxing"
Courteous and helpful staff, everything is on ground level, rooms are spacious and clean,
9.7
Cebu White Sands attracts knowledgeable multi-cultural travelers , and meeting them in the relaxing environment is a pleasure. The hotel is arranged to provide maximum access to outdoor amenities: pools, veranda dining, beach front, etc. Nearby are a grocery store and an the Maribago Grill, an outdoor style restaurant.
Shopping Tip:
Grand Mall in Pasok, which sells mid/low range consumer goods, is about 5 km away

I was so happy with the hotel. If I have other chance to go to Cebu, I'm for sure that I'll stay the hotel again.
The hotel was not too crowded, so if you stay about three days more, you will be very close with the whole staffs and guests.
And I really enjoyed the performance which the hotel prepared.
Well, the only problem was some of the facilities because the hotel was pretty old.

My husband and I had a real great time at the resort. We spent a night in an upgraded room. The staff especially were very attentive to our needs. Great saver and location. We had a fancy dinner by the pool, food are delicious at the right price.
We will come back again but a day wont be enough for sure.
Thanks.
