The kind staff took care of us and checked on us until the end of our meal. The food was delicious, and the restaurant was excellent. The pick-up vehicle was also a comfortable, large car.

This was our second time staying at Bai Hotel, and once again it was a great experience. Check-in was smooth, and the staff were warm, professional, and very accommodating. Our room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable, with a cozy bed and everything we needed. Housekeeping kept the room spotless throughout our stay. Bai Hotel continues to exceed our expectations, and we’ll definitely keep coming back whenever we’re in Cebu. Highly recommended! 💛

The staff is kind, they allowed us to have early breakfast even though we hadn't checked in yet, because of our tour immediately upon arriving in Cebu. Their breakfast is also delicious, good location with a mall across the street, lots of restaurants nearby, also close to the pier if going to Bohol after Cebu.

it was a very convenient stay, though it take time waiting for your room to be ready because they are following the time really. not like other hotels that they allow to check in early but above all the hotel is nice and accommodating, all staff are friendly and easy access to buying food and water because the Jmall is only at yhe 2nd floor.. i love their hotel very neat and clean.. i hope they re-open their Waterpark soon that would be very nice to go back 🥰

It was a great experience staying at Maayo Hotel. The staff were helpful and cordial. The restaurants had great food options and the food serving was reasonable considering the price. The whole place had a classy peaceful vibe. Also, it was easy to book a grab ride in that area.
