Fili Hotel Cebu
Our stay was great, although 1 night may not have been enough. Our original room was occupied by someone else. We thought weekdays wouldn’t be too busy, but there were actually heaps of people because of the events in the function hall. The food and ambiance were great as well. It’s an ideal place ...

Everything was nice, from the resort to the staff. The restaurant was a + for us as the food was really good. Also the spa offers different treatment and it’s so relaxing. I will definitely come back.
