ALTA Cebu Resort

Overall wonderful. Great staff and reasonable, good food. TV reception poor and wifi troubled at times and pool a little too cool BUT it depends upon what you want. i wanted peace, friendliness and positive people - I found that for sure. Keep up the good work and attend to a few details and all will be well.Thanks again for the Filipino hospitality.

Fantastic, friendly staff and a resort that has tried to blend with the culture rather than set itself away from the local community with grandeur. If you are looking for 5 star with no soul then this is not for you. Larry the owner is hands on and will listen to comments without taking umberage. I will warn, do not be fooled by the word Superior when booking a room, the word standard should be applied because if we had borrowed a cat from the poolside the chances of him being swung in there were nil! The room we stayed in had a damp smell, was tiny and a decor that was "unique" but was always spotless. Food was good but limited, we didnt try the tours as we found cheaper ones elsewhere. The pool was great and well maintained with classy and stylish furniture around the area. You have no beach but there is a free shuttle and all the beaches on Cebu seemed to be privately owned and you pay to use them. The gardens and landscaping are excellent and the whole feeling of the hotel is one of serenity and relaxation which is enchanced by the ever smiling staff who seem like a family. I would recommend this hotel to normal people, who live in the real world, for the people who want to live in luxury, away from the locals and in a steralised world this is not for you, but what is the point of going to a country if you dont see it and absorb some of its culture?

My stay at Alta, was just what i needed. The staff were excellent, the food also. A large choice, very tasty. A good place to launch your day trips and travel. A must is the swim with the Whale sharks in Oslob, dont miss it! Overall, a magnificent stay with Alta.

What a plesant surprise to find this beautiful friendly resort in Cebu. My wife and I had been disappointed in the past locations we had stayed at, but not this time. The staff is so friendly and accomodating. My flight arrived at the Cebu airport, after a long night in the Manila airport, and as promised there was a car waiting for me and upon arrival at the resort,after many hours of no sleep, the staff met me with a beverage and immediatly got a room ready, even though check in wasn't for serveral hours. Was able to have a delicious complimentary breakfast before going to our lovely, clean and comfortable room. The swimming pool and spa are a delight, all of the staff friendly and accomodating. I can not reccomend this resort enough if you want a quite and restful retreat.

This resort caters both to locals and holidaymakers which is a bonus in my book. Plenty to do there if you wish (climbing wall to ballroom dancing apparently); plenty of scope to relax if you are not. The mix of clientele is reflected in the restaurant menu but you need to be patient at meal time. Because of its location it is not really a business hotel but a good place to have an event. The grounds are very well kept and the staff always pleasant. it has no pretentions of being a 5* resort but if you and your partner want a quiet place to stay with enough activity to suit then this is the place for you. There are beach and mall transfers provided as well as local tours

Very comfortable place to be.You have all the comforts a resort can offer with a smile...You also have a beautiful garden that makes you feel you are in the jungle.Wonderful swimming pool with pleasant staff to help when you need it.I highly recommend this place for anyone who wants to enjoy a very peaceful with tropical with comforts.

Alta is a place with a difference and character. It's a delightful oasis just right for relaxing. Laid out almost like a village with wooden houses in a verdant tropical forest surroundings -so refreshing after cement and gloss ghettos. The focal point is the pool area with all the important amenities and air-conditioned restaurant. There's plenty to do if you want it, Check out the rafting! It's odd that some reviewers complain there is no beach when Alta had never claimed one! However, they offer a free shuttle to the beach and shopping mall. Taxis are a good alternative and are cheap, ($7 to the airport#. Book at least an hour ahead. The rooms are tastefully decorated, with comfortable big beds, TV and Internet, etc. Sometimes the internet is slow #low-end 3G), but that's not Alta's fault, since the telcos don't invest in modern infrastructure anywhere. The service is excellent with a genuinesmile and desire to be attentive. What sets Alta apart is that it is family-owned and operated. Larry, the American owner makes the effort to meet every guest and is always anxious to know how he and his staff he can make your stay enjoyable. In summary, Alta is ideal for couples seeking seclusion, families with young children and also business people. But if you want high energy days and nights, this is not for you. Great service and superb value for money! Extra points for eco-friendliness. I strongly recommend it, which is why I have stayed here about 6 or 7 times now.

This resort would be a great place for honeymooners. I'ts too far from everything. I was with sister, brother and niece. There's a restaurant on the property but we didn't try it for dinner. The menu looked good but the room has no ambiance. We tried breakfast the next day which was ok. We asked front desk person about other places to dine and she suggested restaurants to eat at and malls to check out, about 20-30 minutes away but did not mention the traffic and half paved/not paved roads that turn out to be over an hour ride. The pool is nice. Over all the place is a little paradise if you have no plans to leave the room.

Great hopsitality nice facilities, the room wasnt great for the price and the tv didn't work.

Staff were extremely freindly and hardworking. The resort is to far from the city and does not have private beach. You have tO pay another hotel tO use their facility. The pool timing and and size was great. The bedding was cheap material. The bed itself was cheap stuff. Choose this hotel if you want a bargain. I am staying in Cebu city next time. The good thing about the resort is the staff and that's it.
