Kaway Resort & Spa

Pretty view especially in the evening when the huge mangrove trees are lit Spacious room Cool AC Hot shower Crispy pata Free water (they have a dispenser)

Room had a broken chair, busted lightbulb, ants everywhere (even on the bed) and a RAT rummaging through the bin at night. Given the price of the room is on tge higher end for this area, we expected the hotel to double check these things. Food at the restaurant was hit or miss. On the fist night, most of our food was overcooked. Drinks at breakfast were bland. Pool has a strong chlorine scent which means it is not that clean (chlorine on clean water is odorless) Nothing much to do during low tide No place for toiletries in the bathroom (for toothbrush, etc)

The location of the cabins above the sea is fantastic but that is pretty much ALL ????????????????

Look at the entrance of the property? That is such a SCAM and such a disappointment !!!! I paid 300 US $ for 2 nights and that money to stay in a really LOCAL resort that tries to be of international reputation... The price of the food in the restaurant is about 4 times the price of the food you can find in town...Again, that is really not to be expected... The breakfast has nothing attractive at all.

We had a great stay here very unique experience staying in in villas over the ocean at such an affordable price. And with huge pool, huge games balcony, free kayaks there is plenty to do. Has a nice big open air restaurant/drinks area also. Staff were great. Would highly recommend if you appreciate getting away from the crowds and chilling out.

house on the sea, super privacy and nice style of the resort.

was not really the feeling of a resort, many requests were declined (mainly foodwise bcs vegetarian), construction was quite loud, strictly no smoking, overall a bit too expensive for the service we got

Beautiful place and the staffs are accommodating😘

Maybe they will includein the menu real Filipino delicacy for breakfast🙏

I like the staff coz they are approachable,smiling and helpful. The food taste good but you can tell that it’s not fresh. It seems like the meat/ fish that they used was stored in the fridge for a long time.

It was satisfied and beyond my expectations, i am very impressed how the service and the settings was like a European holiday in the middle of Tabuelan Cebu. They even accept apple pay so it was easy to access your bill without using cash. Staff is very friendly and accommodating if you are looking for exotic yet European kind of holiday then this is the place you are looking for. We sleep in one of the cottage in the middle of the sea, the view is exceptional, morning time is very peaceful and calm, if you like to swim then you can just dive in from your cottage during high tide. Food is delicious and affordable with many choices of food available.

Our stay at Kaway was absolutely amazing. From the moment we arrived, it felt like we were visiting old friends or family. The staff were so warm and welcoming, and they really made us feel at home. I’m vegan, so finding good food while traveling can be tricky, but they completely nailed it! Every meal was super tasty and made with so much care – I felt so well taken care of. The place was spotless, and the vibe was just perfect. We were lucky enough to celebrate New Year’s Eve with the staff and their families, and it was such a blast! It was such a fun and memorable night, and we felt like part of their community. The location is incredible – a more untouched part of the Philippines that was a real highlight of our trip. It’s definitely worth the drive from the airport. If you’re looking for somewhere special, this is the place!

Nothing, everything was great!

It is unique style of the villas. The staff are polite, kind and attentive to your needs and requests.We requested a romantic dinner set up in the beach area but due to the weather, they set up on the second floor and it was magical. Also, I requested to set up a breakfast on our balcony. It was superb effort by the staff.

The sea water is not as clear.

Our first stay in Philippines, in Cebu, was carefully researched and we chose Kaway. We weren't disappointed. From moment we arrived, Star Elle Bryl Jia and the team were as much the most hospitable, engaging and friendly as we could wish to receive from our first Filipino experience. We stayed a few nights, landing at Mactan Airport and taking the long taxi ride in rush hour to Kaway....we paid pes5,800 through booking.com. On return, the lovely venue charged us less than pes5,000! Bargain! Useful information for the travelling through brigade. On check in, a huge welcome (we arrived late because of traffic) and a nice home made refreshment drink. We opted for a water bungalow room. On entry, received some complimentary banana chips and water. Our suitcases were carried by their porter as navigating the beams that lead out to sea might cause unnecessary damage. Nice touch. We love the indigenous crabs that stand guard outside the room and sway in and out with the tide, but run for life if you so even as look at them! But beware of their toxicity....as too of jellyfish (which Kaway take great pains to warn you about) but never came in contact with. The tide appears in for wake up, just in time for a morning/midday swim, then out for early evening, when locals arrive to harvest shellfish. Room was amazingly spacious. Extremely comfortable pillows and bed. Balcony loungers comfy. Efficient fridge with well selected mini bar. Aircon working brilliantly. Plenty of clothes storage space and a huge area for shower. Well lit surrounds, even on balcony at night. Free water fill up from the station in breakfast bar so bring your own refill receptacles.. Two pools, one for small kids, one infinity for big. Warm and not too deep. Well lit at night. Food was nice, we probably would have liked more fruit options, but on our leaving (very early hours) they very kindly prepared a fruit platter and banana chips with bottle water.

No hooks to hang clothes. No glasses for water consumption. More fresh Filipino fruit could be on menu, especially for breakfast.

Atmosphere Food Water Location

Walkway to rooms Need more pathways

Good pool area. Cute concept with the bungalows on the water.

All 6 jet skiis were broken. Pool table had felt all ripped up. Metal darts were totally bent. When we ordered dinner we waited over an hour. I ordered caesar salad and got iceberg lettuce with mayonnaise all over it! Ants in the room. No real beach area so low tide was just a big mud area. Make sure you get a seaside room. We got one facing the beach on accident and couldn’t change. That ruins the whole point.

The rooms are superb! 👌 Even though the hotel is fully booked, it still maintains a quaint and uncrowded ambience at the resort, and the restaurant is not crowded either. You can definitely enjoy it if you love peace and quiet.

Some food in the restaurant is just too salty.

The service in the hotel was excellent. especially Jia and Bryl did an excellent job, They went above and beyond. Location was excellent and we had a very pleasant stay.

Some more choice in food options would have been nice. The food was excellent though.

The amazing Villas on the bamboo stits are amazing and has the maldivean feels. We appreciate all the attention to details even the welcome drinks and snacks in the rooms.

The food seving could have been a little better, I believe their menu will be upgraded as well. so We're looking forward to a much more improved F&B experience.

All the staff, pool was real nice, rooms are very pleasant. Staff fixed a hot water issue even late at night request. Security at front gate. Good breakfast especially buffet. Great dinner we had twice. We were a big party that needed 6 rooms, about 20 adults. It was nice hearing the waves under the room.

Nothing

The ambience, the villas on the water, the infinity pool a perfect place for us to relax and of course the friendliness and the genuinely nice staff.

The place was absolutely beautiful and serence. The staff was friendly and went out of their way to accommodate us.

The property was quite far away from everything. Everything was about 3-5 hours away. It was also quite a far drive from the airport. This is no fault on their side, we should have checked this before booking.

The idea of it , we were booked for 8 nights ,after 2 nights we checked out with no refund due to poor value and expectations not met

Food , location , facilities , just about everything . Specifically their policy no food or drink to be brought in to rooms . . In all honesty the bamboo construction of most of the place , straight budget eg literally tied together with fishing nylon

the hotel is beautiful! the incredible landscape, you are in contact with nature! The staff is very friendly and attentive to my well-being.

nothing! everything was perfect

Rooms were amazing. Very clean and comfortable. Great to be able to swim and snorkel directly from the room. Facilities were excellent and very friendly staff. Good breakfast and very good fried chicken

staff are very friendly the property looks amazing

everything's fine although they could improve on their waiting time for preparing food especially on their complimentary breakfast i was bummed coz none of the jet skis work

The cottages

Pool is not safe , my couzn got an accident

Breakfast is okay, location wise, dinning areas is a bit far from the rooms

There’s no mode of communication while in our rooms, we need to go all the way down to the front desk to ask for something or ask for help. The bamboo walk path looks nice but hard to walk by especially to old people. Some of the poolside edge tiles’ sharp and also the pool tiles where the lounge chair are is very slippery , it’s an accident made to happen.

Amazing 🤩

Everything! It is paradise!! Iwho in the Philippines don't visit this resort, as if he did not live! All wishes comes true here.

Facility

Breakfast was great. Location is marvellous.

The property could have given the driver something to eat and drink after a long drive and before the one back. I didn't mind paying, but the resort could have extended this courtesy.

the rooms on stilts with the lights in the evening at high tide are fantastic. The bar/pool area is nice too. The staff is very nice and helpful. Only downside, a small local child who is in the hotel mean to our daughter, the staff very insistent in renting their van for us (4 times upon our arrival) and the breakfast not suitable for Westerners (no bread or pancakes only savory dishes), as well as the hot water broken.

The ambience is very nice. I love it coz the staff are very friendly & approachable. The owner is very down to earth. I love their rooms coz it’s very spacious for my family. I booked 2 oceanview villas. Worth the price. I love the resort coz it’s not crowded, there’s privacy of each villas. We also enjoyed the accoustic band performing that night we’ve stayed. Their food price is affordable. Everything was so great! Hoping to visit soon with my family. Thanks to all the staff who accomodate us well.

When it is low tide near the shore. Hehehe Well it’s not really a big deal to me. To sum it up, I have nothing to say. The surroundings are very clean.

Ambiance and the privacy of the place
