かわいいネコと綺麗系ネコとモップみたいな犬がいる。みんな人懐っこくて癒し。 他のコメ欄にもある通り、朝ごはんはボリュームもあってほんとに美味しかった!具沢山のチーズオムレツは⭐︎付きホテルのモーニングブュッフェより美味しかった! 屋上は、海風を感じながらビール飲んでお昼寝できる場所。 ホテル内の冷蔵庫にビールがある。冷えてるしコンビニとそんなに値段変わらない。
強いて言えば、部屋の広さや設備で考えると少し割高に感じた。 トータルは満足です!
Service, the couple who managed it Mr. Billy and Maam Joy theyre very organize and hospitality was exceptional. We stayed for a night it was great😊
Not related to them but the dogs on the street thwy bark and come close to the people when u pass by 😬
Convenient for an overnight stay Very friendly hosts
Family room a bit small though you can use the eating area to sit and chat
The moment I walked into the place, I felt a sense of peace. There is such good, welcoming energy here. Billy and Joy are an absolute pleasure to be around and chat with. Such accommodating and genuinely kind, caring people. I loved chatting with them and they were so helpful with any questions I had. The area was quaint and felt safe to walk as a solo female. It’s right on the water by the pier. They keep the property in top shape, it feels exceptionally clean and well kept. I loved the room, as it was spacious and had a balcony area overlooking the water. And Joy is such an incredible cook! The breakfast was so tasty and also filling. They invited me to hang out with them and their friends the first night I was there, that’s how welcoming they are. I would without a doubt recommend the place and would certainly stay here again. I can’t thank them enough, these people go above and beyond
There was absolutely nothing I didn’t like. Everything was superb. The only thing I didn’t like was not being able to stay longer.
Unlike other accomodations where their breakfast would only tickle your tummy, BJ's breakfast would fill up your tummy. More importantly, it was delicious! Joy really cooks well. And not to forget, there's always free coffee.
In terms of the overall accomodation vis-a-vis the room rate, I can't say any.
It was a great experienced with my stay here.Maam Joy and sir Belly are very good owner.They guide us in our stay here

Sehr freundliche und aufmerksame Besitzerfamilie. Man fühlt sich wie Zuhause. Absolut Empfehlenswert.
Amazing stay at BJ’s, one of our favourites in Cebu island! Definitely best breakfast that we had in the Philippines, cooked by the lovely Joy! Fresh fruits from the garden, homemade sauces and juice, delicious omelette!! Billy and Joy are great hosts, nice chats about the country, the surrounding etc and also great personalities! Would definitely come back! Room is large, clean and comfy. Air con and fan in the room work very well :) Lovely location and great view from the terrace! 🥰 Water dispenser, tea and coffee available at all times in the common area. They also offer cold drinks from the fridge. They sorted scooter rental for us in a not very touristic area, and gave us advice on what to do in Argao and how to move around with public transport for our onward journey. Thank you Billy and Joy for making us feel like at home, wish you all the best in life 🩷
Only minus are mosquitoes outside! But Bill and Joy provide mosquito spray :)
There’s nothing not to like about BJ Seaside in Argao. Although it’s not extravagant in any way, it’s a very decent and pleasant place that truly helps you relax and enjoy the quiet, serene coastal atmosphere. The rooms are clean, and the beddings are fresh and well-maintained. They provide basic essentials and toiletries, which makes the stay comfortable and convenient. It’s also relatively near the town proper, so you can easily explore the area. One of the best features is the beautiful seaside view, where you can simply watch the sunset and unwind. The nearby beach isn't at par with the white-sand beaches in other parts of Cebu, but they waters are clean. The hosts, Billie and Joy, are incredibly warm. They are truly one of the highlights of the place because their service is superb. They have such a welcoming aura that makes you feel at home. The breakfast is great, and they even have lovely cats, a big plus for a cat lover like me. There are also cafés nearby if you get hungry, or you can visit the pier in the afternoon for barbecue and ice cream. Don’t forget to try the local dedelicacies and talk to the locals. Argao is a small and quiet that offers an invitation to do nothing - which is to truly relax, enjoy your own company, and live the life you want. P. S It's easy to locate the place, just tell the motorcycle/tricycle drivers to drop you off at BJ Seaside (few meters, same street with Chitang's Torta)

Czystość , pyszne śniadanie , bardzo mili i pomocni właściciele
L'accueil de cette petite guest house est très chaleureuse. Vous vous sentez comme à la maison. Tout est fait pour vous satisfaire. Billy et son épouse sont charmants. Le petit déjeuner est incroyable, tant en qualité qu'en quantité. Les fruits frais, le jus de fruits et tout le reste sont savoureux. Le jardin est magnifique et invite à la détente. Possibilité de louer une moto auprès d’un garage partenaire (500pesos/jour)
Les chiens du voisin sont un peu bruyants la nuit.
Gera vieta, prie pat vandenyno, maloni aplinka, labai geri pusryčiai, malonūs šeimininkai, tik kambarys galėtu būti didesnis.
i like the location, its accessibility. I like the area , its like home.
Best place in Argao. Always a pleasure to be there. Best home made breakfast <3
We love everything here especially the owners joy and billy.
nothing
It is always a pleasure to stay at BJ's. Billy and Joy are fantastic hosts and I always feel at home with family whenever we stay there. The rooms are great and the views are stunning.
Nothing. There is nothing to dislike about the place.
Billy and Joy are always there to meet your needs. They are personable down to earth people with lots of travel experiences themselves. I always love staying at BJ's Seaside, It is more like staying at a relatives house. The property is right on the water, so the sunrise's are always a knock out. Anyone coming to the Philippines to have a taste of the culture should stay at BJ's. All of the locals know where it is and have nothing but good things to say about Billy and Joy.
very good
Billy and Joy really accomodating and was interacting with the guests, even gave a tour at his property.

與老闆Billy老闆娘Joy聊天,分享宿霧,分享菲律賓,早餐超級豐盛、美味,旁邊就是一個秘境沙灘,所在地是宿霧一個小鎮,簡單的地方;♡ 祝老闆未來規劃順利,有機會再見。
距離需要稍微注意一下。
It's honestly perfect. The owners are lovely and treat you like a family friend. Comfortable, quiet, well located, with a fantastic breakfast. I'd come back to Argao just to stay here.
Nothing to change.
The whole thing. The owner is so accommodating. The food is great. The beds are so comfy.
Maybe a little bit difficult to find. Should put more signage along the road.
The breakfast was excellent and satisfying, the presentation and services is so good. The owners were too kind and very smiling faces. The place is surrounded with plants that adds to the peacefulness of the place. Quit and you will feel relax and peace of mind. So refreshing after even thou we have just stayed for 1 night.
The Beach is not that very good and a little walking distance. But still you can enjoy the sea water and the sea breeze.
Good location on the way from the airport to the south of Cebu; cleaness; very good breakfast; great value of money

Amazing view at the top under the moonlight. You’ll wake up to eat homemade breakfast paired with fresh calamansi juice. The hosts are so kind and accomodating.

It is quite homey. The couple who owned the resort was really nice and friendly and treat us more like friends. They are also easy going and fun to talk with. They showed sincerity and care towards their guests.
Nothing, everything was just perfect.
Hosts Joy & Billy were so considerate, true B&B owners! The included breakfast was absolutely delicious. Thanks for the great stay.
Cannot criticise anything. So highly recommend to others.
We loved BJs Seaside house. The cute comfy and clean rooms. The water pressure (for showers and faucets) was strong and with working heaters. Toiletries are included, there's drinking water, and also they have sodas and drinks at their lounge. There's a roofdeck to view the sea and to watch sunrise and sunset. And there's also a gym equipment at the deck. We had a hearty breakfast that was delicious and cooked to perfection. We ordered tapa combo, but they gave a bonus "danggit Cebu" to us. It came with side dishes, fried rice, fresh fruit juice, coffee and mango/banana as dessert. The owners, Ms Joy and Mr Billy are hands-on in their business and they're doing a really great job. Amazing and awesome couple. When we visit Argao again, this is definitely the place we're going to.🤩 Many thanks to you, Ms Joy and Mr Billy! 😍🤩
It was clean and in good repair.
The owner where do friendly and kind the threat you like family. It was so nice to make a stop in Argao. You have to do. I sleep very good.
Nothing
One of this places that deserves 15/10 points. Both Billy and Joy (BJs) are just wonderful hosts in any way imaginable. You feel like home, the moment you enter the property. We got a tone of valuable ideas and knowledge about the area and Cebu, which helped us to pick the right style of travelling that fits our needs. Thanks again and all the best 🙂
Good breakfast

Argao is a hidden gem. Totally enjoyed our short stay here. The owners are lovely, very friendly and helpful. They make you feel like family. Breakfast is huge and delicious. The room was compact, with a good shower and plenty of hot water. We were a stones throw from the beach area. The beach was not as appealing as other beaches on Cebu; however the local activity was a real treat. I could have sat for hours watching the local fishermen and families. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. It was a delight to be off the tourist track. Delicious bakery and restaurant 2-minute walk away. BJs has a top viewing deck where you can walk the sunset or sunrise with ocean view. So relaxing. Simala shrine is an easy drive/ride and half day trip from Argao (about 30minutes) Definitely recommend staying here and including Argao on your agenda.
Breakfast is superb! Hosts are very friendly and accommodating. Place is peaceful and privacy is maintained. Clean and fresh air, ocean view is refreshing! Very near the church and beaches.
narrow road and limited parking space. Rest of the place is cozy with plants which make the air smell fresh and quite far from the busy street.
Exceptionally friendly hosts. Always helpful and nice. Excellent location. Near beach, near center, near shop, laundry and everything. Super clean Good WiFi Comfortable rooms Best breakfast
One night was great , and thank very ate for the fresh ginger from your garden , the ginger tea was excellent , ant it’s really help for my next trip , and thank you to the teams excellent service and welcoming
The owner Miss Joy and Billy are so accomodating. The location is also good since its just near coffee shop, restaurants and a 2min walk at the beach. The place is 100% exceptional! The breakfast is superb. Miss joy even gave us Banana cake which she baked during our stay. It is super yummy. We had a combo breakfast. Danggit, chorizo and bacon omelette. Super! A must try breakfast. Hopefully they will open their restaurant again soon. Thank you Billy and Miss Joy! Will surely love to visit again soon.

Breakfast was superb, children enjoyed it saying “very delicious “
Billy and Joy were very welcoming :) And the breakfast was super good and in good quantity.
If I could give BJs seaside a 15/10 score, I would! It’s exactly how it is advertised and no wonder they have such a high rating! 🩵 Place was easy to find. It’s by the sea, but just a 5 minute walk away from the main road. Nothing Google maps can’t help you with. 🩵 The hosts were very accommodating! Billy and Joy were very warm and helpful. Billy’s favorite phrase during our stay was, “Anything I can help you with?” My mom and aunt had a good chat with Joy about her plants. Her garden is incredible, making the whole place shades even in these hot summer days! 🩵 The place was very clean and our room had everything we need. There is a shared dining area just outside our door. Easy access to drinking water and free tea and coffee! I’ve been to a few small B&B places in local provinces as well as in some Asian countries, and by far BJs is NOW currently on top of my list. 🩵 THE BREAKFAST!!! OH MY!!! As a breakfast person (who wakes up early during vacation just to eat at hostels and hotels I’m staying at), I can’t even describe how amazing the breakfast was!!!! I would pay tons for that french toast meal if it was served at a brunch cafe. Thank you, BJs! Definitely worthy of its price and more. Thank you for making our short stay warm, memorable, and delicious! Sea you again soon! 🙏🏼
Staff were very friendiy , The room was comfortable, place was located in an area that was easy to go to all the atractions in argao.
The only thing that I did'nt like was that most trike drivers did not know where BJ's was located but once I knew where the place was it was not to hard to give them directions.
as always the perfect place to stay in Argao we will be back for sure awesome breakfast, accommodating hosts, small rooftop gym and a very good location. see you soon billy and joy :)
The place and location
An incredible stay in Argao. Everything exceeded our expectations. We stayed as a family of 7 and booked two rooms. Everything was spotlessly clean and the views from the roof were spectacular. Breakfast was incredible - my daughter declared the french toast the best she has ever eaten. We so enjoyed our time with Billy and Joy. Our teenagers especially loved getting to know some of the teens in the area - basketball every night. Argao is not a 'tourist' destination, which is part of why we loved it so much. We spent a lot of time at the local beach and walking around the streets. There are plenty of food options and a large grocery store. We originally thought this would be a quick stop to break up long bus rides to Oslob. We ended up extending our stay to a week...and still could have stayed longer. Thank you Billy and Joy for such a wonderful week!
The breakfast so delicious especially the cheese omelet. Very good also the hot choco!
Billy and Joy made us feel like we where family on visit. Sadly they hope to sell the place to retire. So if you have interest to have this kind of business contact them, and we hope you then will keep up with the same standard and family feeling.

Great hosts and facilities. Simple and small but very well maintained. Would definitely choose this place again over the more expensive hotels in the area.
The beautiful garden
nothing
very accommodating owners and a sumptuous breakfast!
just the shower!!!
We had a great stay at BJ’s Seaside, if you happen to pass by Argao visit Billy and Joy! Food was GREAT! French toast was made with love. Good wi-fi, terass view of the area, assistans of arranging taxi/bus. We felt safe, welcomed, taken care off 110% ❤️ A big recommend from the swedes! Thank you again, Billy and Joy!
It’s what looks like a 6rm hotel with rambling rooms and a crows-nest deck on the third and fourth floors. Billy is pleasantly gregarious and Joy cooked nice dishes of us. All this is set on the boardwalk in a little province town of Argao. It’s eco-fiendly and centrally located so that day trips to Oslob, Moalboal and Cebu are all within a 2hr drive.
it will be hard to find better hosts than billy and joy.see you next year. Michael & Joy
Its a place run by a Filipino/American couple. They are super nice and helpful. The rooms are nice and spacious. There is not really a terrace but ..... just go up the stairs and you have a stunning view to the sea. The perfect sundowner.
Nothing - all was great.
Very Clean, tranquility and relaxing view at the rooftop deck.
excellent hostility, kudos to mr. billy who is accomodating and mam joy for the yummy breakfast 👍😇
