Beach Hotels in Dauin, Central Visayas

"The property has been around for 40 years. Transfers from seaports and airports were seamless. Check-in was a little chaotic and even had an issue with another guest being checked in before us. No apologies from the staff even though I called it out. Aside from swimming pools, the beach and other amenities; nothing really stood out. The room we stayed in was massive. It does need an upgrade. There’s visible signs of wear and tear. Food is not allowed in the rooms due to ants. However, fruits and soda were offered in the room and fridge. Those also attract ants. Given the nature of the property, there were a lot of mosquitoes, be prepared. Staff around the property were polite to say good morning etc. what we did not like were the staff at the 2 restaurants we ate at. This is where we felt that we were foreigners in our own country. It felt that we owed the staff something even though we paid for the services. It was also evident that teamwork was lacking. We weren’t a demanding bunch but a little hospitality and simple smile would’ve been appreciated. This is not our first island resort, and while this has the best view among all that we visited, the way we were treated by the staff took the beauty away. In our 3 days and 5 visits to the restaurants, only Regina made a difference and knew how to treat her guests. Hope the rest of the staff have the same attitude as her. There is a need for restaurant staff retraining on how to treat their guests."

"nice property. if you are a diver it is likely better than 5 stars. owner and staff all really nice people!"

"Vidal Homes Resort in Dauin was a really enjoyable stay. MJ, Tes, and Jerson were my favorite staff members—both were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely accommodating the whole time. The restaurant food was amazing, and the overall service stood out. Every staff member consistently greeted me with “Good morning, sir” and “Good night, sir,” which made the resort feel warm, respectful, and well-managed. I had a great experience and would happily stay here again. Thanks Tes!"
