Bluewater Maribago Beach Resort

Best sunrise private beach on Mactan island. Watch out for renovations on their private sandbar though.

Bluewater Maribago Resort is a great place with an amazing service from its staff. I highly recommend this place.

All the staff are very friendly and approachable. We also enjoyed the food though it's a bit pricey. I've read a couple of reviews stating that their bed was damp, so that was the very first thing I checked when we entered the room. Fortunately, we had a dry one and everything looked clean. Overall, we had a great and pleasurable stay.

Mixed Experience at Maribago Blue Waters Maribago Blue Waters has always held a special place in our hearts, as we’ve loved coming here since we were kids. However, during our recent stay, we noticed some areas that could use improvement. While the more expensive rooms are definitely worth the price, the deluxe rooms at 7k don’t quite live up to expectations. They feel outdated, like they haven’t been updated in 20 years. The restaurant and spa are also quite pricey, especially the spa, which felt a bit too expensive for what it offers. During weekends, the resort can get pretty crowded, likely due to the number of walk-in guests. However, the staff are super friendly and always make you feel welcome. One highlight of our stay was the amazing breakfast, offering a great variety from local Filipino favorites to international dishes. We especially loved the guy selling "taho"—it brought back some wonderful childhood memories! While we still have a soft spot for Maribago Blue Waters, it feels like some things need improvement to live up to the resort’s reputation.

Our room was very big, but there was a weird smell, but that may be die to the renovations I’ve been making. We stayed in the development that was not completely done. Excellent pools and a very nice beach area offers, if you’re willing to spend the money, anything you’d like to do at a beach. there’s a bar along seafood bar we can get oysters crab, and even lobster.

Stayed in a new building on the 4th floor. It is one of the best rooms that I have stayed at in the Philippines. Nice large modern room and bathroom. Elevator was fast. Had a great Italian jount on the first floor that made great pizzas. Nice 9' Brunswick pool table. The pool is a little dated but refreshing. Hard to find a place to sit on weekends but the beach is nearby. Wanted to go jet skiing but only if one of the staff rode on back. I opted out of that. Oyster bar, bar was great for happy hour and friendly staff made great drinks. All the staff were super friendly! If I hadn't gotten food poisoning on the island (not here) it would have been so much better.
