It's the first time I write a comment for a place in tripadvisor and it's because I read many bad comments about this place, and I strongly disagree. I've just coming back from there. We chose a Juinior Suite, and everything was clean. It looks as in the pictures of the website of the hotel. I can't talk about the... More

I've been trying to figure out for a while.... if Badian Island Resort was a breakfast food..... what breakfast food would it be? Then it hit me all of sudden (like the dysentery I picked up from their food)....... AIDS on toast! "AIDS" because its not nice and you probably picked it up from being somewhere you shouldn't have been,... More

+ Beautifully situated on its own island, very friendly staff. Spacious rooms. - Extremely overpriced. Food, excursions, everything is 50-200% more expensive than in comparable hotels and resorts, even with better standard. As a small comparison, I take a small bottle of San Miguel costing maximum 125php elsewhere. It costs 220php at Badian. If you want to stay at a... More

We stayed at the resort for 5 days, as a scuba diving vacation in the Moalboal area of Cebu island. When I looked around for nice resorts with diving accommodations and big beds, the room prices for the Badian compared evenly with some of the better-rated resorts in the area. I was looking at the "family suite" as opposed to... More

Badian Resort and Spa is a nice place. I had a very lovely chat with the Manager one afternoon and we both mentioned that no hotel/resort will truly satisfy every guest 100 percent. I’m guessing even the 4 Season Hawaii might have a few “dings” here and there. I’m a solo traveler and Badian is certainly geared towards families and... More

My husband and I, as well as our friend stayed for 2 nights (Jan 17 to 19,2012) and we are very pleased with our stay. Right from the welcome with the garlands, and talking to the most friendly and accomodating staff and owners- Maria and her equally friendly partner, I know we are off to a good start! The Junior...

Negative: Food is too expensive for what it was. Beachfront is not like in the marketing photos. Less sand now, more swamp. Positive: Rooms and garden are nice. Staff is friendly. Dyesebel, the dive master was the best. They are trying too much to be an "exclusive" place but the beach is not nice enough and the food not good... More
