Hotéis próximos a Buwakan ni Alejandra em Balamban

Went here on a sunny Sunday and I couldn’t still get over how lovely this place is! West 35 is a 45 minute drive away from Cebu City. It might be far away, but surely it’s worth it! We actually stayed here for a night and it was just one of the best decision ever! The moment we arrive, all their friendly staff greeted us with smiles on their faces and even checking-in for our room was very convenient!! So here we go, we actually got the Basil-Suite Room for us which comes with a very comfy bed, a mini sala with cabled TV, an overlooking balcony of the mountains of Balamban. We were also in awe the moment we saw the bathroom! The walls were made up of transparent glass!! It was so good taking a bath with the views of the lush greeneries! We even also got an outdoor Jacuzzi and even a bonfire pit area which we enjoyed ourselves during the night over cans of beer. The experience was amazing! It was like we’re having our honeymoon during our stay. Haha. And not only that! Talking about the food? It was so good! The foods in Haven Café (West 35’s restaurant) do have wide range of menu from fresh salads, appetizers, and many foods that will surely be suitable to your liking at a very affordable price! If you were to ask me if I would consider going back here? The answer would be a big YES! Would never get enough of this place. So for someone who might be reading this right now, and is looking for a place to rejuvenate and escape from the bustling city life, West 35 Eco Mountain Resort is the place to be!!

nearest location for tsuneishi shipyard balamban cebu, we will book again near future.

It was perfect, the location is very good. I booked it again.

It's very nice hotel.

All on expected level except one but pretty critical for me issue - air conditioning system is covered in mold. It have had severe implications for me - I’m allergic to mold and have got severe allergies just few hours after arrival while I couldn’t figure out what caused it. Room felt very moist and smelly, so I was hoping turning on air conditioning will fix a problem in a couple of hours, but it get significantly worst. I’ve got another room assigned after I have identified reason (photo attached); alternative room was having less issues (not obviously smelly), but air conditioning system was covered in mold as well. Also pool was on maintenance, what was not announced while I was booking… traveling with kid, I’d have booked another hotel if I had this info.

This visit to Marco Polo truly saddened me. If you read some of my past reviews of this hotel I noted it was my favorite place to stay anywhere in the world. This was my first post Covid visit and I was shocked and disappointed. - Basic maintenance has not been completed. For example, there is a glass elevator that goes to Blu their rooftop restaurant. This elevator was out of order and when I asked why I was told “Covid.” Covid travel restrictions were lifted a long time ago and that’s no excuse. In a second example, we returned to our room after a long night and the key did not work. It turned out the battery in the electronic device on the door needed to be replaced and the front desk understand the issue immediately, so this must happen often. Good hotels replace these batteries on a schedule so the guests never suffer from dead batteries. - Service, which used to be outstanding?@, is now unacceptable. First, the English language skills of most employees we encountered were sub par. Second, the person who checked me in was being trained, so the check in process was very slow. Third, service at the poolside bar during lunch was slow, the waitstaff inattentive and they failed to include my banana shake on the bill so as we are leaving the grab us and give us a second bill to pay. Fourth, service at breakfast was terrible. I had to ask for black tea three times before I got it, seeking some out 3 times as no one ever came to check on us. When we arrived around 9 AM there was no bacon (later replenished with bacon that looked so bad I did not even try it, fatty and not crisp), there was 1 banana, which was never replenished, there were no juice glasses (later replenished). The food quality was adequate but not nearly up to pre-Covid standards. Overall the service was lacking. - I was also disappointed that the lobby lounge, which used to have live music every night now has piano music only and only 1 night per week I am told. - There was a cart of dirty linens in our hallway both days Some of these things are not expensive or hard to fix. It doesn’t cost a lot to have live music in the lounge nightly as there are lots of singers groups looking for opportunities. It doesn’t cost a lot to make sure you change door card batteries regularly Others are basic requirements if doing business. For example you don’t leave a glass elevator to one of the most expensive restaurants in Cebu out of order for month/years. I am purchasing a condo unit in Marco Polo residences and expected to regularly visit the hotel for meals/drinks, but if this is the quality and service we can expect, then I will not be utilizing their services.

We had a late and delayed flight but grateful the van (free airport shuttle) waited for us. The lobby was simple & check-in was easy. Before going up to our room, they asked us to get the amenities we need (dental kits, shaving kits & combs). We stayed at the Twin C Room, it has a big ref, kitchen sink, tv, microwave, dining table & chairs & 2 big beds. The bathroom was like the ones in Japan, compact & small. There were no cabinets too. The beds were comfortable to sleep on & the ac was working well. Breakfast was served in what was like a cafeteria hall, it was supposed to be plated but it was served buffet style, breakfast menu was simple. It changes everyday. Location of the hotel is superb & convenient because its connected to J Centre Mall and there were pharmacies, banks, convenience stores & a spa nearby. Happy to have our massage there. The hotel was also beside the Skywater theme park but unfortunately it was indefinitely closed. Checkout was easy too. They allowed us to leave our luggage because we have a late flight, we just came back for it. We weren’t able to avail of the free shuttle going back to the airport because we weren’t able to book a day before (it’s not automatic even if they have your flight information), good thing we have relatives to bring us to the airport. Overall, price was reasonable and we had a nice & comfortable stay here.

We came for day use because of the excellent pools! There’s a large lap pool and a smaller pool off to the side both in a perfect landscaped setting. Great bathrooms and locker room. They offer a complimentary afternoon buffet by the pool with Filipino pastries, noodles, fruits and coffee and hot chocolate. There’s a bar next to the large pool. We decided to stay for dinner because it happened to be a Spanish themed dinner buffet specifically that night. WOW! Absolutely unbelievable spread! Chicken, paella, seafoods, salads, fire roasted tomatoes, stuffed mushrooms, dried meats and cheeses. Hot pork and fresh vegetable dishes. Dessert area they had homemade chocolate dipped churros. They were the best churros I’ve ever had! I’ve never seen a Spanish themed buffet at a hotel in Philippines and I’m so glad I tried it. Also, randomly there was a famous Kpop star staying here too. He was being mobbed by guests at the pool asking for autographs.

The room is clean as always. Bathroom is spotless and no smell. Its good for budget hotel and location is accessible, although it is difficult to catch taxi when you are in a hurry. Overall it is a cheap and nice place to crash from traveling.

Very clean and affordable!
