Stayed here again recently - this time for work. Food is pretty good, but the pool is ordinary, the beach has very coarse sand (man-made beach possibly). there's a pontoon so you can get out into the water - but they pump water from their laundry into the ocean! Once again, the place was packed with tour groups.

I've been to Mactan thrice for summer vacation in the last five years, but it was my first time to stay in Crimson. This is an excellent resort choice for families since their three pools are only 2-, 3- and 4-feet deep. They have a kids' activity zone with very friendly "babysitters" so kids can take a breather from the... More

Back again and was blown away again. Love the water aerobics. Found them more engaging this time around and was happy to see a nice note outside my door every morning stating what I could look forward to all day. I hope to be back to cebu

This resort is far from the city center but near the airport. I like their customer-oriented service and the room is always clean and arranged every time we go back to the room from outside activities. Breakfast is very good, they cater Filipino foods for Filipino tourists, not only for foreign tourists. Beach area is kinda small and rocky but... More

My family and I just returned from a four day stay here. Overall, the service was excellent, responsive and very friendly. I'm a little picky when it comes to getting good service and the service here didn't disappoint. We stayed in a villa, so the service may have been a little better than for a standard room? Not sure.

What a horrible experience this was. My boyfriend and I booked here for a couple nights in Oct 2012, and thought we would enjoy it based on the reviews. Boy were we wrong. First of all this place is a rather large compound, but the pods of rooms go back so that nearly all will have no view. The rooms... More

Great pool, on the sea, great bar on the beach. Breakfast one of the best I have experienced. Unfortunately I had noisy neighbors but of course it wasn't the hotel's fault. Although booked for a pick-up from airport the driver didn't show up, but taxi was good service and cheaper.

I liked the unit, the pool, the warm sea water, the food, and the general vibe. However, it is a long taxi ride to anywhere (45 minutes), although tais are heap, and Crimson has a free scheduled shuttle. I was thre for a conference, which was nice, not sure I'd choose to go there on holiday.

A place where you will consider everything as ripped off due to overpricing products and activities. We stayed here in this 5 star resort but nothing in here justified us that this is a 5 star resort. We had only little bit of enjoyment and this is only because some staff are good and also the our villa was just... More
