When is the best time to go to Central?

The best time to go to Central, Central Visayas, Philippines is during the dry season, which typically runs from December to May. During these months, you'll experience less rainfall and plenty of sunshine, making it ideal for enjoying the region's beautiful beaches, island hopping tours, and outdoor activities. The seas are generally calmer, which is superb for diving, snorkelling, and boat trips to places like Malapascua or Moalboal. For those looking to avoid the peak tourist crowds and still enjoy good weather, the shoulder months of December and May are excellent choices. You'll find pleasant conditions without the highest concentration of visitors, potentially leading to a more relaxed experience and better value on accommodations. The wet season, from June to November, brings more frequent rain showers and the possibility of typhoons, which could disrupt travel plans and limit outdoor activities.

Top Central Hotel Reviews

NUSTAR Hotel Cebu

10/10 Excellent

"The room was beautiful, but the AC lights were so bright trying to sleep and also the lights on the phones. The butlers were slow at handling any requests, like i never received the towels, bathrobes we asked for. They charged to go to the top of the building wgivh should be included in your stay. Food was excellent though! Maybe choices for dinner. Japanese resto 10/10, shabu shabu 4/10, Korean 7/10, Chinese 5/10 breakfast buffet 10000/10!"

Costabella Tropical Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"Pros - Wonderful place to spend a week if you are in Cebu. Staff is friendly and resort is right on the beach with its own space. Many activities are provided from Jet Skis to Parasailing. Two pools to use and different restaurants onsite. Cons - Prices are higher than normal with Buffet Breakfast costing about 20 dollars per person. Only provided one room key, this became an issue when spouse fell asleep inside and phone was muted. Two room keys should be standard at this point. They close the beach at 6 and pool around 8 so not much to do after dark on resort. You can also NOT have food delivered to the hotel. Its Prohibited."

Mövenpick Hotel Mactan Island Cebu

10/10 Excellent

"A stunning property on a beach with soft sand. I could go on and on about how beautiful it is, or how amazing the food is! But what really made this place special for me was how kind, helpful & friendly the staff was. I was actually sad when I had to leave, because they treated me like family. I will be back. Thank you Movinpick for a wonderful vacation stay I’ll never forget! Aloha, Jenny"

Bluewater Maribago Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"We had an ok stay at Bluewater. I think things can be improved at this resort. We traveled with a 1 year old and they charged for glass of warm milk at night. Each evening the glass of milk was different sizes. Also there is no music at the beach side or at the pool area. The only music is live and at dinner time. They also charge for bucket of ice, if you order more than 1 bucket a day. Which is odd because they provide unlimited water to the room but the water is hot. So I’m confused as why they would charge for ice. The biggest thing for me is that breakfast buffet the food was not hot at all. Other than that everything else was fine. We had an ok stay."

Crimson Resort and Spa Mactan

10/10 Excellent

"this resort is one of my best and favorite resort so far since i stayed in the philippines for 2 months. Its my first time staying but i felt like 1 night is not enough. if i just known how beautiful the place is i would have stayed longer with my family. service is excellent, people works there are so helpful. I would love to tell everyone that this place is wonderful."
