Bluewater Sumilon Island Resort

We had an one night stay over there - it was a nice experience. One of the reasons we awere excited to go there was because of the infinity pool..however the pool near the infinity side was 7ft which was a bummer .room were lovely though ..food were pricy but nice. Overall service was nice . There are many activities you can do fron snokerkllinh to enjoying the shifting sand bar to kayaking at a lagoon and ding moderate trek around the island or just chill in the many hammocks

The private Bluewater Sumilon hotel is not worth the hype at all, especially considering the ₱2,500 entrance fee, which is extremely expensive for what you actually get. It’s honestly very underrated and misleading. In the pictures, they heavily promote the upper infinity pool, which looks amazing online. However, when you arrive, they tell you the upper pool is closed until 12 noon. This is never clearly stated beforehand. Instead, you’re forced to use the lower pool, which is very small and overcrowded. It feels like swimming like sardines, with children constantly running, jumping, and splashing—definitely not the relaxing experience you expect from a “private” resort. Before we even entered the hotel, security told us there was a private beach, but conveniently failed to mention that swimming is not allowed because the current is too strong. Once there, there was nowhere comfortable to sit or relax, making the beach area feel pointless. As for activities, kayaking is very limited. Only four people are allowed at a time, and you have to wait for others to join before you can go. The kayaking experience itself lasts about 10 minutes and is only around a small pond—not even a lake, which is another big disappointment compared to what’s advertised. Overall, the experience does not justify the price. What’s shown online does not reflect reality, and for ₱2,500, you expect much better facilities, transparency, and a more peaceful environment. I would not recommend this place unless major improvements are made or expectations are set honestly.

Mixed Experience: Attentive Staff, But Safety & Pricing Need Clarity ​We recently visited the island for a day trip. Our experience was mixed, highlighted by excellent customer service but marred by safety concerns and confusion over the included amenities. ​The Positives ​The staff provided a genuinely warm welcome upon our arrival and departure, which was sincerely appreciated. ​The day visit package cost P2,000 per person, which included boat transfer, a towel, mask, snorkel, and a plated a la carte lunch with main course choices. The boat ride was enjoyable, and we felt secure thanks to the attentive crew member who actively watched over the passengers. ​On a side note, I spent some time voluntarily clearing plastic debris (shampoo sachets, cups, biscuit lids, and wood) from the shoreline, which seemed to be residue from the recent storm, Tino. While I didn't mind helping the environment, future guests should be aware that the beach may require some personal cleanup. ​Areas for Improvement ​Safety and Equipment Fees: This was the most significant issue. The waves were quite strong, and unfortunately, I was knocked down, resulting in scraped legs from the coral. The staff were attentive and immediately cleaned and treated my wound, providing a life vest. ​However, swimming shoes were necessary for safety but were not provided initially. Following the injury, I was charged P200 for a pair of old, worn-out swimming shoes. This charge was frustrating as the P2,000 package already included a mask, snorkel, and towel—none of which I used. Given the safety risk posed by the coral, essential footwear should either be mandatory and included in the package, or clearly available without an unexpected fee, especially after an accident. ​Limited Amenities: A minor disappointment was the limited access to the pool. Day visitors are restricted from using the pool until 12 PM, which significantly reduced the time available to enjoy that amenity. ​Summary ​The island offers friendly service and a pleasant boat ride. However, we strongly recommend that management re-evaluate the provision of safety equipment (like swim shoes), ensure transparent pricing for all rentals, and clearly communicate the pool's restricted hours to day visitors. ​We appreciate the prompt attention given to the injury, but better preventative safety measures and clearer package inclusions would significantly improve the overall visitor experience.

It is a looooong drive going there, but the views were amazing and water around the island was very clear and clean. Buuut.... 1. Sooo many mosquitoes. 2. The red ants were big and vicious. 3. Not child friendly at all.. 4. The beach was very rocky. 5. Very costly trip.

I stayed at the hotel for three nights. It was a 4.5-hour drive from Cebu Mactan International Airport, arriving at 10:35 AM. A private hotel shuttle was 5,500 pesos, and the last boat was at 4:00 PM. We arrived at 3:20 PM. A boat could depart until 6:00 PM for an additional 3,500 pesos, but they required permission from the Coast Guard, so I had to call ahead. I considered staying at a hotel near Oslob, considering I might not make it, but I managed to make it. Getting there was quite a challenge, but I was impressed by the beauty of the ocean and the abundance of fish, rivaling even the Maldives. The quality of the hotel and the food were average.

Beautiful island all around, great service, delicious food, nice pools and jacuzzi. Snorkeling is available too Had a great time and experience 🙏 Make your reservation.

This resort isn’t just a getaway—it’s an experience. I came here seeking relaxation, but I found something deeper: a connection to nature, a sense of peace, and memories I’ll cherish forever.

The package day tour includes set meals and its really worth it the price, however the service to the boat is a little bit off and disappointing especially for day tour tourist. The service is in 2hrs interval 8,10 & 12. So better catch those timings for u to stay longer on the island. In all still a good tour at that hotel, the sandbar is really magnificent and the water is so clear and bright. The only downside of this tour is the service boat.

Near the whale sharks swimming excursion. Take a 20 min ferry ride to the island. It is very much like a white lotus resort if you watch that show. Stayed in the Tukki villa. Beautiful view of the ocean, private swimming pool, nice bathroom and accommodations. Slippers and bathrobe. Soap was citronella scented to help keep bugs away. Shampoo and conditioner. Bring your own lotion, they didn't provide that in room. The resort has infiniti pool, hot tub, snorkeling in the ocean. They provide snorkel and life jacket, fins are an extra cost. In the Lagoon, there is kayaking, fishing (catch and release with bamboo poles) in the pond. Small fish, they will give you bread to bait the hooks. Service was exceptional! Very memorable occasion. It was beautiful in so many ways.

We happen to go to this Resort by mistake. We showed up on Good Friday to the Philippines from Los Angeles, the government decided they wanted to close everything down that day last minute. But this resort was still open. Our tour guide took us there and the drinks are good the people were nice the food was good The View spectacular. Watch out for those jellies though the water is filled with them. That's not the Resort's fault Mother Nature is to blame. Definitely spend the day here if you have a day if you're in cebu.

There are many BEAUTIFUL islands in the Philippines. Sumilon Island is one of them. We had the pleasure of visiting Bluewater Sumilon Island Resort after swimming with the whale sharks. You can choose to spend your nights at their accomodations or do a daytrip here. We did the latter. The daytrip costs about 2500 Php ($50 USD) per person. It includes the roundtrip boat ride from the mainland to the island, welcome drink, parking, lunch buffet, and all kinds of activities. Folks were kayaking, pedal boating, hiking, fishing, snorkeling, and swimming. What did I enjoy the most? I really liked the lunch buffet. So much yummy Filipino food! Before and after eating, I was having a wonderful time lounging in one of the hammocks by the beach. Talk about relaxing!! Absolutely, go to Bluewater Sumilon Island Resort if you find yourself in this part of the Philippines. I look forward to returning for a longer visit in the future. Worthy of 5 Stars plus more!!!!

One of many beautiful islands of the Philippines; this one is Cebu. The ride from the main city is a few hours away but you get to see Cebu and what it offers. It almost reminds me of Hawaii. It's best to have an agent book this activity or resort stay for you. When you come to this meet up place, you lounge around by the beach, they give you free iced tea and watch a video introduction before taking a 30 min boat to the island. The boat ride can be choppy and I would sit in the back of the boat so you won't be spattered with water. There is an entrance fee to do some activities on Sumilon Island or stay a few nIghts in this small island. It's great for relaxation to just swim in the clear blue water, kayaking, paddle boating, snorkeling, trekking or swimming in their small pool. There restaurant buffet is pretty good with all the exotic foods from the Philippines and some others. The staff from the boat to the people on the island were helpful, friendly and very accommodating. I would totally recommend to visit the Sumilon island. [7/100]

Absolutely breathtaking island I'm cebu. We took a small boat ride over about 10 minutes. We were greeted My the lovely manager levie who was very friendly and welcoming. Try to get here early so you can get to the sand bar which you can walk over to or take a short shuttle! The infinity pool is gorgeous and so relaxing. We also went to see the baby sharks feeding and did some snorkeling. I would highly recommend coming here and next time I will be staying definitely.
