Hassle Free in booking and redeeming your voucher. Upon arrival at the hotel, head over to The Clubhouse to register and redeem your voucher. Make sure to bring a valid form of ID to check out towels and if you want a locker. The hotel grounds are well kept. The pool, although not the biggest but it is situated facing the ocean. Amazing! There was a bitnof a crowd when I arrived before 1000, but it quickly thinned out at around 1100. You fo have access to the private beach also. Both have loungers and umbrella set up. Lunch at Benjarong Thai was an experience! Food was not the best and authentic but the presentation and ambience was on point. I ended up getting a massage at Namm Spa and it was great decision. The Weekend Day Pass was money well spent! The staff from the Clubhouse to the restaurant and at Namm Spa was warm, welcoming and just made my whole experience a memorable one.

Sir Mark of McRich is easy to talk to. Kuya Marlon was our driver. He. arrived 30 minutes earlier. Smooth driving, not too slow, not too fast. Unfortunately, we didnt see the whaleshark nor embark on a boat. Sir Mark advised that they will process partial refund. We will wait for that. then we went to Tumalog falls, had our lunch then went to Moalboal. all our guides were professional and funny. we had so much fun. this tour is worth it even though we were sad that our Russian guests didnt encounter any whalesharks(((

I had a very valuable experience. The instructors were very kind and made an effort to understand my poor English. Also, the facility is located within a secure area with security guards, so I felt very safe leaving my belongings unattended, knowing they would be looked after. For those participating, a heads-up and information sharing: there is an additional fuel charge. There were no photos taken from the boat below during parasailing, but it seemed like they would take them if requested, so it's best to tell the boat staff before your flight. After parasailing, you can swim in the ocean for free within the facility. Goggles were also available for rent. I didn't go, but there seemed to be some restaurants as well.

What an amazing day!! The sardine run was magical, tons of sardines and we actually got to see a big and beautiful turtle. The guides take your GoPro or camera and will get you under the water. The Kawasan Falls Canyoneering was a workout but in a good way. We chose to walk down, no Zipline for us. Our guides Rocio and Ricky were the BEST!! They made sure we were safe and had fun. They also filmed it all, one had our GoPro, the other had our phone. Truly an amazing adventure!! The only part of the trip that isn't great is getting there from Cebu/Lapu Lapu. The roads are bumpy and windy... luckily I took a motion sickness tab🤢. This trip was well worth the money and I highly recommend it!

What to know before visiting Cebu City

Quick snapshot of Cebu City and what to expect

Cebu City’s most-booked experiences on Klook are zoos & aquariums, tours and outdoor activities, giving the city a mix of family-friendly sights, guided excursions and active outdoor options. Demand on Klook has clear seasonal rhythm: bookings peak in January and dip around March, so the year alternates between busy spikes and quieter stretches.

Best times to visit for crowds and prices

Klook booking data shows January is the busiest month, while March sees the lowest demand. Prices are relatively steady across the year on Klook: they peak around August and trend slightly lower into March–May. For lower prices and smaller crowds, plan trips in March–May; for a lively, peak-season atmosphere aim for January (busiest) or August (priciest). Where demand and price diverge, note that the busiest month (January) is not the priciest — peak atmosphere doesn’t always mean the highest Klook prices.

Tips for travellers from Hong Kong

Most travellers from Hong Kong who book Cebu City experiences on Klook typically book very close to travel — often just a day or so ahead — and last-minute bookings are common. If you prefer flexibility, you can comfortably plan activities a day or two out; if you’re travelling in January’s peak, consider booking a few days earlier to secure popular tours. Use Klook to lock in family-friendly attractions and outdoor activities while you finalise other trip details.
