Stay for a night, stay longer for the staff
We absolutely loved our stay! Arriving on an overcasted day, the resort was a bit sleepy but once the sun rays came through later in the day, the resort was gorgeous! Overall, we loved the staff. Shout out to Clifford at the restaurant. He was our favorite and such a hard worker! Come for a night and you'll find yourself staying for the service/team

Pros: Nice large room with private pool. Ocean and mountain view. Very good food, authentic choices. Nice easy diving. Many on-land activities. Live entertainment every night. They were very ethical in separating a Chinese group that came before the virus outbreak. The group was safe but the management did a very good job respecting the group (organized a separate "wedding type" dinner on the beach) and putting the rest of guests at ease by separating them. Very nice, friendly, and sincere staff. THANK YOU AMOR, SHEILA, DENIS and the rest of dive staff and hotel staff!! Cons: The west and north ends need some housekeeping. Showers at the beach need to be fixed.

We appreciate your feedback. The resort has its own charm of having its exclusivity experience which is now hard to find. Guests can enjoy roaming around the organic garden, snorkel at the coral garden, relax at the thalasso waterfall and explore diving adventures. We are located minutes away from the famous Kawasan Falls, Pescador Island, Sardines Ball and Whale Shark Watching.

The property is beautiful! They pick you up in a boat to go over to the island and then 2 staff members met us on the dock with flowers. Staff was great and it was very relaxing. What was sad is the beach had a lot of junk on it that had blown in but had not been picked up for a while, plastic bottles, bags and numerous other things. I went to lay on the beach and saw I was surrounded by garbage. I got a bag and picked and filled it full then went and grabbed a couple staff members and got them to join me. One hour later it was clean. Hopefully they are keeping it up

We appreciate for taking the time to share your thoughts. It has been our tradition on the island to provide flower lei for our guests to really feel the island life. On a daily basis, our beach boys clean the beach twice (6:30 AM & 1:00 PM). Due to the change of tide, garbage from the other towns is being swept to the island. The team and I are thankful for having you here. Indeed we are keeping it up as we do monitor it from time to time. Would love to add photos to show you :) Looking forward to welcoming you back in this Island Paradise

It was a nice resort. Way overpriced. Not super beautiful white-sand beaches, lots of rocks. Had a tacky show to go along with dinner. I would have paid half of what I did for the value of the stay, that it probably why there was only 2 other small groups of customers there.

Greetings. I appreciate the review. Note that our Food as well as beverage are not precooked. All fresh from scratch when a guests orders - end product - delicious. Some guests comment on the price however never of the taste. Your opinion of a 5 star rating is understandable as we are a boutique island resort destination - very private with only 40 rooms villa type in an 8 hectare property. we only have one main restaurant, al fresco dinners by the beach or by the pool, an organic garden, one swimming pool, a private beach, a SPA village - villa style on a cliff. There is so much nature and beauty in our island paradise...

Good overall stay
My overall stay was fine, accommodation was comfortable, clean and spacious. The service and staff were great. The only two points would be I received no prior information that you need to make your way to way to the dedicated port so a boat can collect you. Also I was very ill from a meal that I ate there for a few days which ruined my stay for the duration I spent at the Badian island wellness resort.

Dear Raj on, We appreciate for taking the time to review our Island Paradise and highlighting our Positive and developmental needs. Indeed our staff is always recognized for their sincerity and effort. I sincerely apologize for the dissatisfaction you have experienced during your stay due to the general condition of the resort. I do agree that we need some upgrades which are ongoing. All you have mentioned are being addressed gradually. I would like to point our strength - it is an Island Getaway, beautiful wildflowers, beautiful sunsets, romantic dinners/ambiance, fresh fruits & salad, sea turtles & giant whale shark to swim with too. These strengths of ours have created lots of memorable experiences for our guests. How we wish we have also made it for you.

Nice escape from Cebu City but overpriced
Our 2 night stay was pleasant enough. The location was great particularly if you want to escape from the noise of Cebu City! However due to its isolated location it was not the easiest place to get to and there was no information provided on their website on how to get there (after speaking to the locals we hoped onto a tricycle which took us to the dock opposite the island where they had a speed boat that would take us to the island free of charge, 24/7!). The resort itself was good with all the amenities you would expect for the star rating and price and helpful staff on-hand (if you could find them!). The room was good; spacious with air-con, outdoor balcony and complete with an outdoor bath! We thought the restaurant food was good for both breakfast and dinner however we were keen to eat elsewhere because it was expensive compared to places on the mainland. The resort whilst having all of these wellness and relaxation facilities felt somewhat aged and could do with a rethink. Their organic farm for example was merely the odd tree and hedge and their gaming room was a let down (pool table was ripped, some of the balls missing and was not even level!) So for the money it doesn't fully justify its value. However with a bit of TLC and thought on how to bring it into the 21st century it could be a fantastic destination.

It was one of the best resorts we have been to! The friendliness and courtesy of the staff made the experience memorable. Although the drive was quite long from the airport, all we have to say is that drive is worth it. The spa was an amazing experience! Definitely something to check out if you are there to unwind. Only one restaurant is located on the Island, but the boat ride to the main island is always open. There was a little bit of a mix up with one of the orders we made with the restaurant. We ordered medium rare steak, but they accidentally gave us medium rare pork. Communication there also needs to be improved. Staff usually doesn’t communicate or explain things clearly - so always ask questions to make sure your experience will be a good one. All in all if you are looking for a place to just sit back relax, and enjoy a drink or two. Badian Island is the place to be!

Serene beautiful location - 4 hours from airport
The hotel is a lot further than the airport than they say on the website - allow 3.5 hours minimum (i had very little traffic and it was closer to 4). The staff are lovely and the location is amazing; but the beach / sea isn’t up to much. The hotel itself is quite run down; i didn’t have hot water for the first night and day of the stay; couldn’t get an answer from the room service or activity booking numbers; the sauna wasn’t working and the thallaso spa is a bit limited. The pool area is nice and th food isn’t too bad; but overall it’s probably 3.5 to 4 star at the very best. Good place to get away though, and the staff are sweet and well meaning.

The Island was great and relaxing. It was our second time here, the last one being 5 years ago. Unfortunately since that time nothing changed, it could use some upgrades as the place is getting old. The people were friendly though but could use an improvement in service. The manager did share with us that they are in the process of doing major upgrades. Overall the island is still worth visiting.

A very special place
Set on an island of the Moalboal coast, the resort features luxurious bungalows, beautifully decorated with hand-made furnishings, and fairly deserted sandy beaches. Food-wise, many ingredients come from organic gardens at the back of the property. These are wonderful. The spa is very good but expensive – closer to European than Philippines pricing. Look out for daily specials and discounted packages there, which may be attractive. A friendly and professional dive centre is on site – who can take you to the sardines run, Pescador Island and other excellent dive sites. The staff are super friendly – and went out of their way to make a birthday dinner truly memorable.

Quiet / beautiful / friendly / 5*
Me and my partner recently spent a few days at the resort. The drive to the resort from the airport takes around 3- 4 hours. During this time you will see the true Cebu, very poor, fairly unplesant. However .... arriving at Badian Island hotel is like a quiet piece of heaven. Immediately greated by a boat to make the short 5 minute crossing (very smooth, comfortable - NO WAVES !) . Upon arrival to the island you are made to feel very welcome, given a fresh flower necklace and a welcome drink and a chance to relax after a long journey ( 24 hours for us!). The staff at the hotel are 5***, very friendly and helpful. The hotel was very quiet and peaceful surrounded by sea and beautiful mountains. They have a coral beach for snorkelling which I recommend, Rudy - Who showed us around the coral reefs was great, very friendly and we enjoyed snorkelling with him. The room was nice, there was no tv or WiFi in the room which is a shame, but it was good for us as we are usually always on our phones and laptops so it was a welcome break - added to the QUIET experience. The food is nice, we are not very adventurous with food and we were fine with the choices and quality of the food was also fine. Upon leaving the hotel, the staff walk you to the boat singing and playing guitar, truly wonderful and emotional. Overall, I loved my stay at the hotel, I would truly recommend it to all of my friends. - thankyou to the staff for making our stay a great experience.

Surprised
Didn't know till I arrived that I had to take a short boat ride to get to the resort. That's ok, but found out I cannot be off the resort after 10pm because they don't offer the boat service. So that was discouraging because we wanted to go listen to some live music but had know way to return. Also had to sacrifice a paid night stay there and get a hotel near the airport because of the boat service hours. The bed and pillows were extremely uncomfortable. The sink drain and overhead shower did not work properly. Now let me say the staff was wonderful. Even at times understaffed it seemed, they were very kind. Spa with Carren was excellent. Food is good. Beach is ok, but do not expect a large smooth Sandy beach.

Great Hotel staff
We were greeted with smiles and a lei of kalachuchi/plumeria. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The only compaint I have regarding the hotel is that its very dated and not well maintained. The dock was missing a few steps and scared it may give. The rooms were old and rustic, maybe a feel of being in an old cottage but AC was starting to drip in our room at the end of out stay and looked like it hasn't been replaced since the 80's. You also don't have a way to get around except walk! No golf cart or even just bikes or pedicab to get around since its a large property. Especially if you want to go to the best location for swiming/snorkeling. Otherwise you will need to wait for high tide to use the boat shuttle. The coral garden is a must go. I've been to many reefs all over the world, including the barrier reef and this is awesome withhout the need to take a boat ride for 2 hours. Its just a 2 minute swim from shore. :). The island also gives you a secluded feel and relaxation. Oh btw. No TV. Hehe. I wouldn't rate the hotel a 5 star, but a mere 3.5 maybe because of awesome staff.

i booked this hotel to have a quiet, serene, beautiful getaway for rest. the first day there was phenomenal, however we soon learned that a group of 80 was arriving the next day for 'survivor' style team building activities. the big speakers were being set up, lights, games. we expressed our deep concern to the staff that this activity would ruin the quiet, beautiful atmosphere we had traveled far to experience. the next morning, we asked to check out early and have our money refunded for the prepayment of that night. the manager said that it was not possible and after a lengthy discussion, the manager showed suberb judgement and found several other ways to boost the serenity and relaxtion of our trip. we were then so glad we stayed and so pleased in how he treated us. because of that service i would return again. the island and resort is beautiful, and extremely relaxing on its own (without the loud team building activity!)

Incredibly quiet stay with warm, sincere staff
We spent two nights in Mactan, the artificial resort enclave near the airport and two nights at Badian. It was an absolutely amazing, warm stay that made us forget about the 4 hr ride getting there and out. From our arrival, every single staff who helped us, walked passed us, or saw us from afar, made sure to say hello with a smile. The resort is a bit old but it's complete different from those flashy resorts in Mactan. The facilities were designed to sit well with the natural surroundings. Every single time they cleaned our room, they decorated with fresh flowers. I traveled with my grandparents in their 80s and the staff made sure that they are comfortable. Our overall stay was relaxing, calm and warm. There were only about 5 rooms occupied so we barely saw anybody else but the staff. I strongly recommend this place mainly because of the people who were working there!

Definitely not a 5-star resort.
It's me and my girlfriend's first time here in Badian island resort. For its rate of P10,300 per night in a junior suite for this quality of room is way too much. Food is overpriced, dinner buffet at P1,800 per person. Service is very slow, they don't automatically give you menu when you sit down in the restaurant, you should call them for it. This applies while lounging in the beachfront too. If you order ala carte in the menu, it says it comes with blah, blah; it happened twice that they dont service it complete as what is stated in the food we ordered. Room service/housekeeping is useless, at night we requested for mosquito repellant by phone; it never arrived, the following day prior to checking out we requested for a laundry bag; it never came. In totality, the resort is old, not well maintained, and is mismanaged. If you're expecting a 5-star service(based on their rates) this is definitely not the place.

I spent 4 days at the Badian Hotel Spa and Resort and used that time to relax by the beach, swim in the pool, relax at their spa, dive in nearby waters and other adventures.

Disappointing and very expensive
This resort is all about money having to pay a deposit of 20,000 pHp for 2 days before we set foot in the door even though we had fully booked and paid everything... The staff were very friendly but the rooms are tired and maintenance needs to be address on simple things like lights not working flooding bathroom as drain was blocked. The grounds are run down in areas.... Each evening meal was 1700pHp or 3400 for a couple and the food is only average.... Sorry I cannot recommend this resort to anyone even at half the price it is not good value.... stay well clear you have been warned and I do not often write a poor report .... This resort could be brilliant but management need to address the needs of their guests.... I cannot say a bad word about the staff though.... very friendly and helpful....
