The only thing I can compain is that during weekend the resort is quite noisy especially in the pool side till late in the evening. Otherwise, we are very much satisfied during our stay here. For sure we will come back again.

Nice place
I went back after a 9 day break back to dame room at the pool side for another 8 days . Music nearly every night Parties. If you want quite go somewhere else Maintenance needs to be proactive. A/C had mould in the evaporator which affects respiratory.My next door neighboursA/c was covered in mould like mine. Apart from that all ok staff was great.

Needs fixing in most of their rooms and staff training should be provided for more knowledge of what they are doing. Reception staff is alright but the kitchen staff should be thought more and manager should be hands on as a role model for all the staff.

It is always a pleasure to come back to Elsalvador Beach Resort. It is like a second home, a place near my wife's family and an excellent place to entertain them. I have visited at least once a year since 2015, sometimes more. The free breakfast never fails to get me started on the right foot. The peaceful seascape and property foilage is wonderful. Someone obviously loves this place. Fine white beach sand it is not and hot showers it is not, but it has many other positives. There are more comfortable and economical options in Cebu city, but this is Danao and your choices are very limited and this is the best of the best! Enjoy, remember it is third world and enjoy what they have to offer, not what you left at home. I have stayed in the economy rooms many times and stayed pool side this time at twice the cost. The room was twice as big with a very very firm western mattress and box spring and four foam filled pillows. I left the beauty rest black and memory foam at home. The room is pleasant and the shower spacious, just no hot, not even warm water. The pool water is cooler, though, refreshing and clean. Room was with mini fridge coffee maker and clean fresh towels. I always travel with my own sheets and pillow cases and leave them behind as gifts. The restaurant is wonderful, a complete selection of Philippino delish at very attractive prices. They cater to local events, weddings, birthday parties and family swim days, so there is usually fun happenings.

the last minute grab
the hotel fully booked so at the last minute we grabbed a "discount" room one of only two available at the time. Very small and the wifi was poor to "0" but this was expected because of the discount price and room area, the staff and service excellent, the food was great and the hot shower added nicely to the room overall i would do it again but bigger room. Only let down was a small beach area, but the pools made up for that x 2

Modernise and will be a very good hotel
Had to upgrade room as too small and low hard bed with nothing else in room. Could just about open bathroom door. And a window showing a tall grey wall 3feet away. Upgrade was more spacious and better mattress. (Though paid 3× what i was quoted for upgrade. I'll put it down to a language barrier). Same old awful and noisey aircon in both rooms. Ants were a constant scene, travelling around the whole room from the aircon. Also given 2 body towels but no hand towels for sink and charged for extra towels. Outside garden area was very clean and maintained. Pools were cleaned with what looked like a water vacuum. Unsure how often is emptied and cleaned properly as looks dirty and grainy, but could be due to the close surrounding greenery. Jacuzzi was never seen on and also looked dirty. When asked when is on was told 'later' this was asked around 4pm. PLEASE CHECK YOUR BILL UPON LEAVING. mine was showing as 16000pesos and was only suppose to be around 6000 due to errors. Only one spa treatment assistant though advertised everywhere. So unable to use trying to book 4people Staff were friendly enough throughout the hotel. Don't use the hotels taxi. It will cost you as much as england. The best part of this hotel was the coco restaurant. Food was excellent and a good variety. Though ice cream shakes are ice then cream on top so more like a chilled flavoured milk

An Oasis on the North Road
This resort stands out as the jewel in the crown that is the area north of Cebu up to Carmen. Granted, it’s a jewel that has tarnished and could do with polishing, but the best of a bad bunch of establishments up that coastline. The beds are comfortable with great pillows and non-allergic bedding. The DeLuxe room we stayed in was equipped with a bar fridge (two complimentary bottles of water every day), a safe, coffee kit, flat-screen TV and air conditioner. The room was clean and comfortable which is what you need. Staff were friendly and cheerful and willing to assist in any way possible. The Coco restaurant is apart from the hotel and overlooks the sea. It’s a rare privilege to eat breakfast at this covered, but open air restaurant while looking out to sea. The gardens are beautifully landscaped around the two sparkling pools. Food at the restaurant is wholesome home cooking with the a la carte menu offering a wide selection of local dishes as well as some ‘foreigner food’ although vegetarians won’t find much to choose from. The air conditioner was noisy, but not unbearably so. The basin had was chipped, painted over and then chipped again and was corroded around the plug hole. Black mould was evident around the bath and hot water was a rare luxury. Water pressure is also an issue This resort is a popular function venue, so it's noisy most evenings. The function guests jam up restaurant. A car is necessary to get to the shops.
