What travellers are saying
- Viven NBedford, UK12 contributionsThe only decent place to yo in the South of Cebu is The Kawasan Falls in Badian. It is quite spoilt though compared to many years ago as they made it so commercial for tourist, and now you can only hi to the first falls. The rest for Canyoneering. Quite unfair but it is still worth going there. I just hope people maintain it's cleanliness. Filipinos are so bad in dumping their trash everywhere. Appalling attitude.Written August 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Lissette RNorth Bergen, NJ217 contributionsThis mall exceeded my expectations completely. The terrace was filled with a variation of Bonsai trees and an amazing ambiance.
Tons of restaurants to select to dine at. 4 floors of shopping/eating plus the terrace and I could have easily spent all day there.
I was not expecting something to this magnitude but I’m thankful I went. Free entrance must go through metal detectors to enter but I never once felt unsafe.
Lots of different places for children to play (my 4 year old loved them) and it was very reasonably priced.Written April 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Hosse SVästerås, Sweden160 contributionsIf you want a 360 view of Ceby city, this is it. Small entrance fee and another 50 pesos to access the roof top. A lot of restaurants that are expensive, as all tourist hot spots are.
Worth a visit!Written February 24, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We spent around 30 minutes there and took a complete walk around the temple, enjoying its charm and serenity. The location is easily accessible via Grab, which makes the visit hassle-free and convenient.
For those without Wi-Fi access, it’s worth noting that taxis can charge outrageous prices—Grab is definitely the more affordable and straightforward option for getting back or continuing your journey.Written February 24, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Up steep slopes and we took the motorbikes up. My younger child, 6 years in front of me between the rider. They were fast due to the rather steep climb. Ride up is less than 2 mins and save your legs from climbing those slopes. But please hold on tight.
The waterfall wasn’t that crowded when we reached around 10am and the deepest point reached slightly below chest area. 1st pool was a fish spa where you can dip your feet in to get those dead skin nibble away by fishes. Fun experience. Toilet available as well.Written December 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SBVegasAdventuresLas Vegas, NV314 contributionsThe cross is cool but no more than a few minutes are needed. There are questions if this is the original cross or of the original is encased inside this one but it is still cool to visit. Lots of other sites to see in the area. It is near pier one so have a look if in the area.Written September 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Steven SPattaya, Thailand795 contributionsGoogle Maps showed 3.3kms from town so I decided to walk there for exercise passing The Ruins on the way. I followed Google Maps which directed me down a road off to the left and eventually to a local man who charged 25 pesos. I asked him what the charge is for. He said for the private beach. I told him there are no private beaches in the Philippines (unless it is at a privately owned island). Anyway, I paid the fee which was really for crossing private land. I ended up entering the water before the actual beach.
Very nice beach, clean sand and clear water. There was some trash around off the beach. When I left the beach I found a parking area and a public dirt road that led me back to the main road. From the main road there is no sign pointing the way to this beach. Only a big sign with all the rules and regulations to visit the beach. This public road is about 500 metres further on from where Google Maps directs you. Of course the unscrupulous land owner is not honest enough to redirect you to the public road. I stopped two ladies on bicycles and redirected them to the public road. DO NOT follow Google Maps.Written March 15, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- uzmelissaDubai, United Arab Emirates466 contributionsNice snorkeling spot for corals especially, some people wrote it's not perfect after thypoon may be it's a really better before but at overall it took 1 hour snorkeling around there and we saw lots of corals and fish, it was enough and enjoyable spot for us and our tour brought us to sardines and turtles to Moalboal, we swam 1 hour also there. Tour spots are fare I think, I would recommend 👌Written January 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
