安全島上的印泥
Nice! Not far from Mactan Airport, super convenient for getting to the airport the next day. Plus, the area is very convenient with restaurants, bars, and massage places all within walking distance. It's a shame I arrived at the hotel a bit late and didn't get to go to the beach. I'd love to go next time!

Guest UserThe hygiene, environment, and service were excellent, nothing to complain about.
Initially, I was given a room on the right-hand corridor off the elevator. Rooms in this location are directly on a thoroughfare, so the sounds of people talking and walking were incredibly loud. I didn't get any sleep that night. When I tried to communicate with the front desk, my English wasn't great, so the communication was a bit difficult. Luckily, Trip.com actively helped us communicate and eventually arranged a quiet room.
However, there was a female staff member at the pool who seemed to discriminate against Chinese people. She clearly served two drinks at 9 PM, but when she saw I was Chinese, she insisted it was only one, while foreigners received two. This kind of service staff can bring a lot of negative impact to the hotel. I hope the hotel takes this seriously.
Most importantly, the hotel's beach is extremely small, and the hotel itself is quite isolated. You can only stay within the hotel premises; going out requires a car. When booking hotels abroad, don't book too many days at once. If you need to check out early, Trip.com always gives evasive answers, saying the hotel won't allow refunds, implying that Trip.com has signed unfair clauses with the hotel.

LaizixiaweiyideguorenIf you can get a direct round-trip flight with China Eastern Airlines, I genuinely recommend trying a vacation in Cebu. My first choice was the Shangri-La Hotel, but they didn't have any rooms available at the time. So, I booked this J Park hotel instead, and I ended up feeling like I made an excellent choice because it's truly perfect for families with kids. I'm talking about slightly older kids, maybe 6 and up, as they have a ton of water activities, similar to hotels like Senbo in China. But what makes it even better is its beachfront location. So, if you want to play in the sand or go snorkeling, they offer free equipment rentals, or you can bring your own. And if you're into swimming pools and water slides, there are plenty of those too. I also highly recommend their suite with a separate living room and bedroom. The price for these suites isn't exorbitant, it's super convenient for a family to stay together, and it even has two bathrooms. It's ideal for families traveling with both elderly relatives and young children. And here's a little tip: in Southeast Asian countries like this, if you can negotiate with the staff, you often won't have to pay an excessive amount for an extra bed. I can't go into too much detail, you know what I mean; check other reviews, and you'll get the gist. The hotel breakfast does get very crowded, so I suggest either going early or waiting until later. The hotel's location is also fantastic, with a supermarket and several restaurants right outside. Plus, taking a taxi around there is very affordable; just download the Grab app. There's a massage parlor called Gold Moon directly across from the hotel. This place is excellent; among all the places I tried, their ambiance was the best. Also, in the shopping area across from the hotel, there's a nail salon that is incredibly cheap. For my daughter and five other girls, getting 'QQ nails' cost only about 50-60 RMB each, so it was super affordable. And you can choose from really pretty designs; my daughter said her designs were intricately done, which you can see in the photos. I'm not sure why durians are so expensive in Southeast Asian countries like this. Everyone says you can eat durian in the Philippines, but I didn't find any good ones. However, you absolutely *can* eat excellent large crabs in the Philippines – like the Singaporean chili crab, made with Sri Lankan mud crabs; they are delicious and very reasonably priced. We tried one place opposite the hotel and also took a taxi to the popular Red Crab, which was trending on Xiaohongshu. Personally, I found Red Crab to be tastier and more professional; they also had a wider selection of crabs. If you try both, you'll understand what I mean. Overall, I really liked Cebu's J Park hotel. It's a high-value, safe place with great service, and I wholeheartedly recommend it for families with kids. I heard they even have a babysitting service for infants. One small complaint though: when I booked, I communicated with Ctrip, and it was agreed that we'd get two hours of park playtime daily, but the hotel later denied it. To my surprise, Ctrip directly compensated me. Ctrip is truly amazing; I'll only use Ctrip for future travels!

Guest UserI stayed here with my 8-year-old son (I'll share the pros and cons of traveling with a child).
1. **Pros**
* **Meals**: The breakfast buffet is standard, but they offer white porridge daily with 3-4 Korean dishes and 1-2 Japanese dishes, which was great for kids. On the day I went, there were many delicious options like japchae, jjimdak, kimchi fried rice, and jeyuk-bokkeum. You can also order iced or hot chocolate at your table, which my son enjoyed every day.
* **Kids' Club/Play Area**: They have their own children's play facility. They run various programs by age group and time, and even talk to the kids in English. There are also toys and playgrounds for toddlers. This was the only air-conditioned spot in the lobby area, so my son used it multiple times. I was initially worried the facilities and toys might be old, but my son absolutely loved the fish feeding and mask making activities we tried. T-shirt and pizza making are available for an extra charge.
* **Pool & Beach**: These were the best facilities! There were hardly any guests, so we could enjoy the pool and beach leisurely. You can see various fish while snorkeling at the beach – we even spotted Nemo and Dory.
* **Chocolate Hour**: I only got to experience it for one day, which was a shame. There were 2-3 types of chocolates, bread, and popcorn. You could enjoy them inside the 1st-floor breakfast restaurant or take them to the lobby. I particularly liked that there were two types of melting chocolate with about three toppings, offering variety. However, only water is provided for drinks; you can order other beverages from the lobby bar if needed.
2. **Cons**
* **Facilities**: Since it was only a partial renovation, the overall facilities look dated. Especially the hallways had a strong old carpet smell. That said, the general maintenance was neat, and my shower filter didn't discolor, which was a good sign.
3. **Overall Review**
The location is great, being close to New Town, the airport, popular massage shops (Cielo, Cacao Tree, Oasis), and famous restaurants (Morning Glory, Coco Cebu, Cabana, The Cove, etc.), many of which are within walking distance. I chose this place because I wanted to avoid areas with too many Koreans, and except for one couple during my stay, all other guests were foreigners. If you're looking for a good value-for-money experience that feels like you're truly abroad, this is the place to go!

Mani LynAll good except the airconditioner, door knob and breakfast. air conditioner is old model and it’s very noisy. Door knob is old model too I had a difficult time to lock and unlock it. During breakfast, topsilog district served the spoiled chicken it was taste awful and dangerous to get food poison. I hope they serve fresh and quality food next time.

바다에 간 토끼My boyfriend and I, Koreans, stayed here for two nights!
When we first arrived at the lobby and checked in, they helped us with our luggage, offered welcome drinks, and mentioned a 3,000 peso deposit.
It's an old building, so it's a bit dated, but it's a beautiful hotel with an antique and tranquil atmosphere. The location might be difficult to reach on foot if you don't use a Grab taxi. However, because it's a bit secluded, it's great for a quiet, relaxing getaway. The private beach and pool were conveniently close, and there were several paid activities available at the sea. I booked a boating tour, and from morning to afternoon (you can buy a packed lunch from the hotel or choose a service that includes a meal), we went by boat to snorkeling spots to swim and play.
The downsides were that the room lacked bathrobes, room slippers, and body wash. The air conditioner was old, so it was noisy, and there was an unavoidable musty smell. Also, Grab delivery wasn't available, so we had to eat food we bought from convenience stores!
The advantages are the hotel's private and quiet location, plus the excellent staff service. There were only two designated smoking areas, which created a clean environment without indiscriminate smoking, which I appreciated. They provided beach towels when using the pool, which was very helpful.
While the hotel breakfast wasn't as varied as I expected, it was enough to start the day feeling full. It wasn't luxurious, but it had all the basics: noodles, bread, fruit, meat, soup, etc. The kimchi was a bit shocking – it was cabbage mixed with gochujang, which was truly surprising.
Facilities include a gym, an internal bar, and more.
Even though the room condition wasn't perfectly ideal, it was a hotel where the facilities were worth using, taking that into account.

へるしゃふと@旅行マニア✈️I've stayed here before and it became my favorite hotel, so I booked it again. The biggest draw of this hotel is undoubtedly the high-value resort experience it offers. This time, we booked the top-tier suite (triple room) for three people, and it was incredibly affordable at around 10,000 yen per person. The room was well-equipped, even having two toilets. Waking up in the morning and opening the window revealed a stunning view of the pool and blue sky, and breakfast allowed us to enjoy a resort-like meal while gazing at the beach and pool.
If I had to pick a point for improvement, the slippers were reusable instead of disposable. It would be even better if disposable ones were provided. Other than that, it's a five-star hotel with absolutely no complaints.

We only rented this room to store our luggage and rest a bit before our flight. It was a no-frills stay. Pros: great location, a mall nearby, the hotel has a coffee shop and a bar (though the bar wasn't open), you can order dinner, the room had a fridge, shower, toilet, a travel kit, soap, shampoo, and a large bed. Cons: there was an unpleasant smell outside, and I wouldn't walk around there at night (and there's nowhere to go anyway). There was a plumbing issue, but it was generally resolved.

What a place! Very private and secluded (which i love about it)
Place was very clean and impeccable.
The amenities was a plus as well. Kayaks,pool and shuttle service and of course the staff were very friendly and informative.
The only downside i might reconsider was the food options for the breakfast. 2 options which was American and Korean but not a problem. My insights was for other nationalities but so farall was a great experience

Windie ^*-
The place was actually nice and okay, or maybe because there were only a few visitors during our stay. What I did not like was the wifi - even their own TV could not have an access to it neither do I. It was so weak I had to use my own data for the entire 3 days & 2 nights stay. The breakfast was a 50/50 compared to other hotels Ive tried where there are too many food options you could try. I hope these things they could improve.
