Restaurants in Cebu Island
1. Club Serena Resort
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 208 reviews
The beauty of Club Serena Resort in Basdaku, Moalboal is more than a skin deep. It casts spells! Club Serena speaks of a thousand square meters of poetry – breathtaking scenery, idyllic sea, sparkling sand, amazing dive sites, and awesome sunsets dipping beyond the shoulders of Tayasan, Negros Oriental. Its very “exclusive” atmosphere could send one planting his feet in off-white grains of sand lapped endlessly by Tañon Strait’s translucent waters. Like most of Club Serena’s visitors, one could easily become captive of its surreal charms, or could be mystified by the splaying of vibrant colors on its stupendous skyline. To find Club Serena is to find oneself!
One of the Best resorts to stay in Moalboal
Reviewed By mikhail cPros Me and my family are moalboal locals and always love going to club serena resort in white beach. Food at the restaurant is delicious!!! compliments to the chef and shout out to rolan who always gives a 10000% perfect service whenever we have lunch,snack or dinner service!! Rooms and the interiors are well updated, clean and comfy, surrounding landscape are perfect as well as water sport amenities are great! Cons Need to have a well networked internet structure in the property, currently no internet on rooms or even restaurant area. in this digital landscape, everyone is posting and need to be online for business and pleasure. having that internet access allows guests to post something and tag the resort on socmed which would give more exposure for business and potential guests in the future. I work from home so its also great to have internet anywhere in the property. Also, it should be daily that the beachfront be kept clean always and be efficient with what needs to be cleaned on. i noticed that although rubbish are gathered, when the tide comes, the dirt goes back to the water and floats. Also, ask staff or security not to allow people throwing cigarette butts on the beach, kids love to play and pick these up easily. i would understand that the beach area is techincally public, at least ask security to remind non guests to dispose their trash properly. overall great and well renovated resort! i highly recommend the staff, manager and restaurant but lots of things to improve!

So Much Wasted Potential
Reviewed By montyj395Pros: Attentive and courteous staff. Villas are very rustic, and well decorated. Outdoor showers are a unique touch. The lounge areas under the villas make for a nice space to chill and enjoy a cold beer. Cons: Swimming pool is a stagnant cesspool that I would dare not dip my toes in. Air conditioning is not enough to cool the villas with the high, vaulted ceilings. In fact, we had to switch villas on our last night as the AC broke. We still needed a fan, which the resort provided, as a secondary source of cooling. The beach, while it looks amazing as far as sunrises go, it is not groomed at all, and useless for swimming. In fact, when returning to shore from island hopping, we had to walk into the beach during low tide. Our shoes got stuck in. a grey foul smelling muck off shore. I could not tell what it was, and I probably don't want to know what it was. Overall, this resort resembles paradise, but due to a lack of attention to the pool, beach, and air conditioning, it's a poor facsimile of what it could be. I'm not sure what can be done for the muck off shore, except perhaps the island needs better infrastructure for sewage treatment.

There are lots of hidden costs that may confuse you if you are travelling on budget
Reviewed By Dr_Igor_1971I stayed there for six nights in the budget room. This hotel is quite a distance from the famous Bounty beach (15 min walking distance) where the most dive shops and restaurants are located. Hotel staff delayed my check-in by almost 3 hours from time scheduled by hotel in Agoda (10:00 a.m.). By the day check in, I was arriving at 10:00 a.m. and being told that room was not ready to check in. After few hours back to hotel I was still being asked to wait for the room as according to hotel staff check-in time in Agoda.com website was stated incorrectly. Room was outdated, broken down, and dirty. The furniture in the room was stains and there was a terrible damp old smell. Pictures of accommodation do not reflect the reality of it at least for budget room. The biggest downside is the water because they use "salt water" for tap and shower. As I understood the water they provided via the tap and shower is actually salt water filtered from the ocean as it is very salty and had weird taste especially had weird taste especially when you’re brushing teeth. They only provide body soap and shampoo and towels for toiletries. There are lots of hidden costs that may confuse you if you are travelling on budget. There is aircon in the room but you are allowed to use it only for extra cost (and this info was hidden in Agoda.com page). They do provide water only at the reception or at the restaurant for ₱20, so you have to have your own empty bottles to refill yourself. Breakfast was very mediocre with an additional cost ₱160. I do not advise to stay in this hotel as you can definitely find better options for this price. Transfer they provided is for around ₱2,500 one way for 2-3 persons. You can do it cheaper as following: Taxi from/to Mactan–Cebu International Airport to/from Cebu North Bus Terminal, PHP (₱): 230-250 Bus from/to Cebu North Bus Terminal to/from New Maya Port or Old Maya Port, PHP (₱): 200-230 Ferry from/to New Maya Port or Old Maya Port, PHP (₱): 100

Les Maisons d'Itac is a quiet resort, 2 hours from Cebu city, where you can enjoy the relaxation. This front beach resort will welcome you, in his 2 nice villas with 3 bedrooms each and their own swimming pool, also in his bamboom house and two other room with little terrace, all of them with a stunning view on the sea. Marivic will cook you gorgeous meal with a mix of Philippino/French'flavour
A lovely place facing the sea
Reviewed By DaniGiiI loved everything about this place! My apartment was facing the sea, it was big and beautifully decorated ! The place is a bit isolated and takes some time to reach from Cebu city but once you arrive it will be worth it ( yep). Once there, you can easily rent a scooter and be independent. The food is nice and you can easily choose to eat in or out. They have a beautiful kept garden and a small swimming pool . The owner is helpful and extremely friendly and I loved the in-house dogs and play pool at night! I would definitely recommend this place even thought isn’t the cheapest option, it was definitely worth it for me!

New Years Disaster
Reviewed By markgE2501AMThe cheesecake and coffee were excellent! Normally this is the best restaurant in Moalboal ... but something bad happened on December 31. Fajitas were stir fried shrimp with salsa and no tortillas. The beef bbq could not be eaten. Marinating beef, even the local beef, is easy. Staff were apologizing before complaints could be voiced. Three hours for a disappointing meal at 1000 per customer. That can kill a restaurant these days. It's really sad because this is normally the best in Moalboal. But the coffee and cheesecake were spectacular!

Comfortable accommodation
Reviewed By sydneysteveLocated about 5km north of Oslob town proper overlooking the water. My room had 2 double beds. Nicely tiled throughout. Table and chair and storage for folded clothes and to hang. The bed was clean and comfortable, good quiet aircon and hot water shower. Only negative was the presence of ants. Don't leave food or drink around as the ants will be on to it within 10 minutes. No problem with local transport as the family has tricycles. I was taken to my activities each of my 3 days as well a relative's French/Fili restaurant Le Bistot each night for dinner. Transport costs were very reasonable. The manager Ging is very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my stay here.

Lovely quiet couples escape
Reviewed By Han_ban_adventureLocated around 45mins south of Maolbaol, you're in a much more local area here- which was exactly what we wanted. The pool and sunset view from there is lovely, staff are excellent, super knowledgeable, helped us organise a scooter hire for 600piso a day, and also ran a small shop on site for basic necessities. The restaurant just up the road was only recently opened but very convenient. The location is excellent for independent waterfall exploring, and the locals are so friendly and kind. Be aware you're a 2/3 hour drive from Cebu City and the airport, private transfers are not the cheapest (we booked through Klook and paid 2800piso one way), we took the local bus down which was very cheap (around 160piso) BUT 5 hours very cramped up with no air conditioning. Would definitely recommend this place to couples, and more independent type travellers who don't need their hand held and are quite happy jumping on a scooter and exploring. Photo is the sunset as viewed from the pool!
