Location: Buyong, Mactan Island, Maribago, Cebu, Philippines

Costabella Tropical Beach Resort is a four star resort located in Mactan Island, in line with other resorts in the amazing white sand beach of Maribago. You can reach it by riding a taxi around less than 200 php, easy to locate since there are signs on the road.

Me and my boyfriend stayed here for one night during our week-long Cebu escapade. I’ll also post some of my reviews on Shangri-La’s Mactan Resort and Spa, Harolds Hotel, Lancaster Hotel and Crown Regency Hotels and Towers and also more of our experiences there. This is the last beach we visited in Mactan island on our last day and I can say it made our trip more worth it!

We booked a Premier Deluxe room and it was really good. I recommend not to book standard rooms since I’ve read reviews that they are really old and far from the beach. There were some problems in our room but they were handled promptly. One thing we liked the most was the service of the staff, very professional and accommodating.

The room has two double beds, colored tv, desk, and veranda with a lovely view. The bathroom has a tub and toiletries.

The beach was small but it was nice, just don’t mind the people on the other side of the breakwater trying to sell you stuff. The white sand was just beautiful.

If you want to go island hopping or cruise, just contact front desk and they will assist you. Pools were very nice, and the ambiance of the resort was just so peaceful.

You can stay and just relax anywhere in the resort, every inch is just a paradise.

Food was delicious, we had a room service during dinner and we were so full after. We tried their friend chicken, filipino beef steak and pork sinigang, Their iced tea is a must try, the best iced tea we’ve tried ever!

Breakfast buffet was okay, little to choose from but it was fine.

Total, it was a very nice stay here. We felt relaxed and the view from our room with all the trees was so serene. I consider Costabella Tropical Beach Resort a small paradise in Mactan. Would go back to this resort again and I definitely recommend it when you visit Cebu especially if you’re on a budget, it’s cheap for what you get and totally worth the money!
