All the staff were very attentive of their guests’ needs, very helpful, friendly, courteous & respectful. The breakfast buffet was amazing! A lot of good food, hot & cold choices, they were delicious. A variety of Filipino food & western food. There were 3 pools & if you have small kids, one of the pool will be perfect for them. They have a good size beach front. But you must wear beach/water shoes. Although they provide flip flops. The room that we stayed in had a good working AC, which kept us pretty comfortable since the weather in the Philippines is very warm & humid. Downside is the bathroom, it needs a little updating. But otherwise water pressure was good, it has hot & cold water. Beds were comfortable, clean & fresh smelling sheets. Room was clean. Had a good, working small refrigerator that kept our drinks cold and the tiny freezer was strong enough to make some ice using our bottled water. A microwave in the room would be nice & convenient, they didn’t have that, but an electric water kettle was available in the room. There were plenty of available beach activities for a reasonably priced fees. There’s a walking distance grocery store, safe currency exchange, McDonald's & good local restaurants. The drawback of its location is going to Cebu City, it’s not far but there’s traffic. We used Grab to go to the city, or walked to the grocery store nearby. Over all, our 8 day stay in Bluewater Maribago Beach Resort was very good & enjoyable. Well satisfied customer!

Excellent breakfast buffet! The beach part has not enough water for swimming. Restaurant/cottages by the beach was great! Our room was also great , it was by the pool.

Overall, the property is so old. The rooms has a urine like odor or musty. Barely warm shower water. Bathroom tiles are moldy all over and towels are old. Doors are flimsy and no window as you close it. You feel like you’re in a cave as you cannot see the outside. Food is good, wait staff are good. Service at the bar is very slow at the pool side.

Enjoyed our stay mostly because of their staff - all very warm and accommodating. No one can beat the Filipino hospitality. Resort was ok. Liked the pool more than the beach. Breakfast buffet had a good selection and so was the dinner buffet. We also enjoyed their Valentines special with the Cebu Philharmonic Orchestra serenading guests while having dinner by the beach. So romantic!

The bathrooms were leaking and need some tlc and update. For that alone, I would have given 2 or 3 rating. However, staff are beyond phenomenal! From dining staff- Chirly , there was also Ner and the maintenance and room service Papsy! They are the type of people who make the stay unforgettable! Hands down, the very best in Cebu!

The staff were excellent. I had a bad back and the nurse came around in my room and checked on me. Area was okay accessible to all transport and lots of restaurants nearby. The downside of this hotel is their food pricing so expensive and only few choices. Breakfast is buffet and lots of selection. There are 3 restaurants the main restaurants is the Allegro near the reception and 2 by the seaside. We had a pleasant stay here and we will stay here again.

All of the staff working the front where great with the exception of the LGBT person, I don't know that person at all but by the way I was treated by them you would have thought I had do e something personal to them. Our room service lady was extremely exceptional. The cable box didn't work on the first day and the AC wasn't working properly on the last day. Food for the first 4 day was delivered cold then cool hfor three days than back to cool. We started eating off the property.

It was a disappointing trip 😔 our room is amuma which is more expensive than regular room but we do not have a safetybox no whole body mirror, room is so outdated for being so pricey! Buffet is so expensive but the service is so poor we had to ask for coffee to 4 different waitresses before they gave us coffee.Our trip supposed to have a free breakfast but hotel said it was not included! Not coming back as theres a lot more beautiful resorts that is way cheaper than maribago bluewater!

At check in the staff told me, "To tell you the truth, we only have two rooms. I cannot give you four rooms." I argued with the staff and I said that I booked and paid for 4 rooms last March 15. Then he said that I have to wait 45 minutes before he could check us in, but the check in is 3 pm. The staff was rude, that I had to call someone- a friend- who works at this resort. This person called the staff and was instructed to check us in. Why do I have to call someone to make the check in process easier? The resort also did not want to honor my booking with Expedia, saying every time my guests and I go to breakfast that we do not have breakfast. The staff asked me to sing the bill for breakfast so they can bill Expedia. There is also no blue water at their beach but instead blackwater. We took a boat ride the next day and paid PHP9,000 to the boatman who took us to the a nearby island where the water is blue (about 20 minutes boat ride). The pool by the cottage is also dirty, with food being left, and a cat was scavenging for food. The patio tables are not being cleaned. The dining area smelled unpleasant (bathroom smell) probably because the venue for dining is close to the bathroom. For the price that I paid $140.41 per night, it is not worth the money and the stay.

NO FREE-BREAKFAST contrary to the advertisement!!! The resort is ok. Not stunning, not great, just typical. It is inconvenient that the beach is unswimmable (if that's the word), not enough water in the morning. Front desk was very hard to reach. Not fast enough to accommodate. I know that the food is good here that's why I booked this mainly for the "free breakfast." BUT IT IS NOT INCLUDED!!! You're given a bill even when you're not yet even done eating. I already paid $350CAD for 3 adults, 2 nights. I wasted many hours of contacting expedia and the hotel for the deceitful advertising.

The resort overall is good. From staff to facilities, everything is commendable. I had a wonderful weekend at Bluewater Maribago. That’s why I chose to avail of the Bluewater Bliss membership do I can visit other Bluewater locations like Panglao and Sumilon. In fact I already booked a 2-nights at their Sumilon location this weekend.
