      “We Love Kandaya”

      We spent our honeymoon at Kandaya Resort from May 9–10, and it was everything we dreamed of and more. Nestled in a beachfront villa, we were treated to stunning ocean views, total privacy, and a level of comfort that made us feel immediately at home. From the moment we arrived, the staff made sure every detail was perfect. Their warmth, professionalism, and genuine attention to our every request made us feel truly special. It was clear they took pride in creating an unforgettable experience, and they succeeded on every level. The villa itself was serene and luxurious, with direct access to the beach and a breathtaking view that made every sunrise magical. The ambiance of the resort is peaceful and romantic—exactly what we wanted for such a special occasion. The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. Whether we were enjoying a quiet meal, walking along the shore, or simply soaking in the surroundings, every moment felt meaningful and unhurried. Kandaya Resort is more than just a place to stay—it’s a destination that celebrates beauty, tranquility, and heartfelt hospitality. It was the perfect setting to begin our new chapter, and we’ll treasure the memories forever. Highly recommended for couples, honeymooners, or anyone looking to escape to paradise.

      “This is unfortunately not a 5 star hotel”

      We were over all disappointed with this hotel. I’m afraid it is not worthy of its 5 stars. The aesthetic side of the hotel was nice. It looked the part, and was very ‘instagram’ worthy, but if you looked a bit harder, you could see the cracks in this hotel. Firstly, we had read the reviews on the food, nearly every guest had said the food was over priced and not cooked well. We thought, surely with all these bad reviews on the food, they’d of stepped up their culinary game? The answer is no, they had not. The food was mediocre, not what you expect of a 5 star hotel. It was over priced and standard. This hotel is very secluded, there is not much around the area to do. There are no neighbouring restaurants either, which means you basically HAVE to eat at the hotel. There is ONE restaurant near by which is has EXTREMELY good food and is half the hotels price. The restaurant is called ‘Sugbo Maya Seafoods’. It’s a 15 minute journey, and there are only tricycles around. They should only charge you 200 Peso each way. We went out for dinner here most nights because the food at the hotel was that bad. This restaurant proves that there are good chefs around, just not at Kusina, Kandaya Resort. Next, we had the on going problem with our water pressure in Room 202. (please see pictures of the dribble from the tap and shower). The cold tap on the sink did a mere dribble, which meant it was very difficult to brush your teeth. We brushed our teeth with hot water every morning. The shower’s pressure was SO bad, another mere dribble. We found washing our hair a big task with the dribble of water. The light in the shower was also broken, it flickered like a disco light, if you had Epilepsy, this would be a problem. We spoke with reception about the light and the taps. To their credit, they changed the light bulb quickly, but nothing with the water pressure. We were not offered another room or an apology, we were just left to it. One morning, the water cut out completely in the sink, we therefore had to brush our teeth with water from the bottles provided. My partner slipped holding the bottle as she was trying to brush her teeth at the same time, the bottle of the glass smashed. We explained to reception that the water had cut out, so we had to use the bottle of water provided, juggling a tooth brush and the bottle is when the accident happened. They said no problem. Within 20 minutes we’d received a bill of 350 pesos. Quicker than it took for us to pick up the glass. If you want a hotel that is quiet and is aesthetically pleasing, this is the hotel for you, but only If you’re prepared to eat bad food. The waiters at the restaurant were always kind and polite, but you could tell they had not had hospitality training. Little things like forgetting to give you knives and forks when eating, not coming and asking if you’d like any food and drink by the pool, empty glasses and not offering to take another order yet more staff than guests throughout our stay. One day we were the only people at the restaurant for lunch, I ordered a ceaser salad with chicken breast. After about a 20 minute wait, the salad came without the chicken. We were the only people in the restaurant. The day following, again the only people eating in the restaurant the chips came out cold. No consistency with orders, one day the coconut milkshake was great and the next it was un drinkable. The stand out waiter was Mark, he was chatty, kind, friendly and had a beautiful singing voice! Apart from that, this was a disappointing stay. They HAVE to up their culinary game and the staff training. This hotel has so much potential! A lot of moneys been spent here and you can see that, but the little details are missing. Pros - The hotel is atheistically pleasing. The rooms are spacious and well decorated. The bed is very comfortable. The swimming pool was lovely. We were the only people at the pool for 3 out of our 5 days. They had nice sun loungers and decking area. There are horse

      “Clean, Comfy, and Accommodating Staff”

      Our stay was absolutely amazing! The staff was incredibly accommodating and made our experience truly unforgettable. I had requested a complimentary birthday setup for my mom and sister, and they went above and beyond to make it special. From the thoughtful decorations to the warm hospitality, every detail was handled with care. It meant so much to see my mom and sister surprised and happy — the effort the team put in really made their day extra memorable. The room was comfortable and spotless, and the service throughout our stay was consistently friendly and attentive. On top of that, the entire property was well-maintained, and we were especially impressed with the cleanliness of the pool. It was sparkling clear, inviting, and clearly well cared for, which made our downtime even more relaxing. We’re so grateful for the wonderful experience and will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

      “The best”

      Our family stayed at the Kandaya Hotel. We stayed at their family room with 3 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms. Each room has 2 bathrobes and sleepers. They also have a dining table and living room. Their tv has netflix and good wifi connection. We love their breakfast buffet and each room comes with free breakfast buffet including the kids. The staff were accommodating and nice. The hotel is clean and well maintained. We also enjoyed their horseback riding and kayaking. Thank you, Kandaya for the wonderful experience for our family.

      “Quiet Getaway ”

      A 3 hr drive from Mactan-Cebu International Airport, it's nestled on the very northern part of Cebu in Daanbantayan, Kandaya is a great quiet place to getaway from it all. The resort isn't too big but if you stay on the far end where we were, the beach view villa, you might be calling every time to kart service to pick you up, to take you around like for breakfast or to ride ATVs. The activities are fun, we only did the ATVs and visited the animal farm but they do provide various water activities. The game room was a fun surprise where they have pool, table tennis, darts, arcade basketball, 2 multi cart arcade machines and a small handful of board games to play. We mainly stayed to our room and enjoyed it spacious comfort and private pool and bath tub. The room was clean, smells great (no mold smell like some resort rooms), TV has apps like Netflix and a HDMI cable to hook up your own devices like a laptop. Overall this was one of my best stays in the Philippines, the only negative is getting to the location is a slog through city and rural traffic.
