Costabella Tropical Beach Hotel, Lapu-Lapu City

Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms are well-appointed with a blend of Filipino decor and modern structures, but there were some issues with bugs, ants, and cleanliness. The limited beach access and presence of debris in the water were disappointments. However, the view from the balcony was fantastic, especially in the early morning.

The hotel was beautiful and very comfortable, although the air conditioning could be small for the area and inconvenient when turned off by the cleaning staff at night. The lack of an elevator, especially on the 3rd floor, could be challenging for some travelers.

The resort offers spacious rooms with beds facing the balcony, although the price with taxes and service charges is a bit high compared to other resorts. The service provided by the friendly staff, especially at the dive center, was exceptional. However, the location, though peaceful and private, may pose challenges for those without their own transportation. The dining experience, while different every morning, was considered expensive despite the full occupancy. Overall, a pleasant stay with some minor drawbacks.

The hotel was premier and was for sure exceptional in many aspects, including very clean and spacious rooms, exceptional food options, and fantastic beer. The only downside was the dark, dated, and dusty feel of some areas.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of comfort and inconvenience. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the location was a bit remote and the dining options could have been better. The service provided by the staff was excellent, and the facilities were enjoyable.
