Bluewater Sumilon Island Resort

We had a day tour, no accommodations but comes with buffet lunch. We took the early schedule 8am-3am. We arrived at the Island with just few guest. We enjoyed the sandbar alone until the next schedule trip arrived which is the 10am. Maybe due to off season, there are not so many guest. Almost everyone are foreign. The weather was moody that day. We arrived with a scorching hot morning, it went cloudy at noon and it rained while we're having lunch. There's still drizzle later that day but we enjoyed both the beach and pools. There's free towel and we can snorkel on our own. Snorkling with a guide requires additional payment but you can go to more areas unlike doing it alone only in a designated area. If you don't have a go pro, you can rent one. The guide takes wonderful pics and videos.

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.

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.

Im from Cebu and this is the best beach/Island that I love so far in Cebu. Been in Virgin Island Bantayan and the water is also same here. We booked day use in here with buffet. Staff are accommodating and polite. The food in the buffet is delicious too. What I love in this island is the crystal clear water where you can see many fishes. Love also the kayaking. Would probably be back in this island again. Highly recommended.

Amazing hotel!! We loved everything, so many things to discover and do. The staff was incredibly nice and profession. Food was amazing and the surrounding just wow

If I could give this place 6 stars, I would. It's a must visit when you are in Oslob. They have their own shuttle boat to the island, and you get a free transfer when you book a room. The location is unbeatable, the staff was friendly, and there are plenty of things to do on the island. At first we were annoyed that you needed a guide to go snorkelling in the marine sanctuary but when we went there with our friendly guide we understood why! The reef is one of the most beautiful we've seen with so many colorul corals and fish, and they don't let people go there by themselves on purpose so they can keep it clean. If you go snorkeling, make sure to go at high tide, which is in the morning. You will see more. There are 2 pools, 2 jacuzzi, there is a great playground for the kids, a bar, a restaurant with a buffet, and a la carte options. You can go kayaking and snorkelling. It was a really beautiful experience for us! The only odd thing was the daily feeding of the baby sharks on the coast, which we found bizarre and unnecessary to mess with the natural cycle of marine life. The sharks are fed leftovers of the buffet from the night before, which was pork when we were there.

T’was a great experience. The ambiance - it was not crowded, I can hear the birds chirping. The food was so delicious. The staff were superb. They were all willing to assist and greet us. The place itself has lots of activities we can enjoy from. All in all. We had a wonderful experience.

A beautiful clean hotel and very friendly professional staff. The whole island is a charm. I took a walk alone on the experienced hike trail around the outer edge of the island. Very jagged and sharp coral on the North and East side of the island. The pounding waves thumped deep into the hill. Saw beautiful fish on the south side. Don't trip or fall on that coral or you'll be in a bad way. Wear Good protective shoes for your feet. I wore running shoes and was fine. If you have bad balance, are prone to falling or clumsiness, take an easier trail. Swimming with the whale sharks was an unforgettable experience. About a 20-minute swim. So worth it. For a better experience, bring your own snorkel mask and breathing tube. Thank you all for a wonderful stay.

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.
