Ocean Bay Beach Resort

This is the definition of budget resort. Resort was right on the water, but far from everything. Not walking distance to anything and no free wifi in the rooms as advertised. Only free wifi in the resraurant area and it did not work that well. When we checked in they gave us an upgraded Captains room because they had not received our reservation from Expedia for some reason, but we did not know it was upgraded until we were switched to the inferior standard room. We booked here because there were jetted tubs advertised on Expedia, but they told us none of the rooms have that any more. When they switched us to a standard room on the second day, it did not have a refrigerator as advertised so we had to complain to the front desk to get them to bring us a small fridge. The private beach was dirty and we did not go into the water, but the resort had a covered pool that wasn't too bad but like almost all pools in the Philippines it was not heated and the attached jacuzzi was also not heated without bubbles. The restaurant on site was pretty good, but not well stocked. The Baby back ribs and pork chop plate were really good, but no fries after the first night and no garlic rice after the second night. When checking out they were not able to get us a cab, but there is a bus that passes by just outside and took us to the Cebu terminal for only 105 pesos each instead of the 1280 peso cab ride which the cab drivers don't like to do because they have no return fare. Overall recommended.

The first room given to us was comfortably small but bathroom smells dank. One of the staff tried to spray Lysol to cover it up. We just have to have an upgrade. The next one we got was a larger room. It was reasonably clean but it seems that you have to ask housekeeping to do your room if you want it tidy up. At least that's what happened to us. The resort was nice but the beach was dirty. Saw a lot of debris - plastic bag, baby diaper, a dinner plate... It can get very noisy too as day users are allowed to use the facilities. And they can get really loud with. The swimming pool is not clean - water looks murky. My fiance pushed me into the pool and I had the honor of swallowing a little bit of the "salty" pool water. The restaurant is good. They actually have good food. But then again, it's the only restaurant in the area that we can find. At least, the only place where we would want to eat.

Arrived early afternoon, check in time advertised as 1pm, and had to wait 2 hours for the room to be ready. Had a disappointing lunch in restaurant, of burger which was raw in the middle. The rest of the stay and meals were OK. They only had a couple of local foods on the menu, most of the food is western type. Very quiet and relaxing place to stay.

It was ok

Very enjoyable stay, originally for 2 days but extended to 4 days with kind assistance of the helpful girl on the front desk. Thank you.

Thexstayxessxgrest and the staff and owner are absolutely the best friendly and a consisting at all times. Highly recommended.

It was a really bad experience: No rooms ready to use because they were wrong booking. The new room provided had no windows, looks like a garage. Next day we transfer to other without tin. We washed our teeth in the kitchen! And the restaurant inside the hotel in the same line, slow service and low quality. I wouldn't recommend neither my worst enemy!
