Stayed for 4 nights and this is the conclusion: GOOD: * Nice private place that looked exactly like the website. * Very large well appointed room and bathroom. * Very clean and well maintained place. * Friendly and service-oriented staff. * Lots... more

I was very very disappointed with this resort. i thought it was supposed to be a 5 star resort (it charged like one) but when we arrived i was shocked to find something more like 2-2.5 stars. the mangrove beach is very average, the beach around the other side was pretty poor and the pool was a bit of a... more

How did I miss all these bad reviews??? My experience was exactly the same as all the "terrible" reviews. This is nothing like the website, I was expecting 5 star for the price and it was 2-3 at best. I was really looking forward to this break, the first in a while, and had shelled out some decent cash and... more

I too am amazed by the poor reviews. I stayed at the island with my husband and three children aged 6,8 and 10. We stayed for 5 days at the end of December until the beginning of January. We arrived at Cebu airport at 3am to be met by friendly staff who helped us into a waiting car, the car... more

The 2 hr journey from the airport to the hotel at 3am... more

We have stayed in a number of five star hotels all over Asia Pacific, but we never had such a bad experience than at Badian, Philippines. If you look at their website you believe that it's heaven on earth, but if you go you will find merely a 2star hotel. The accommodations were very simple although we were upgraded, the... more
