I booked a room here before but they didn’t have a free breakfast. I’m surprised that they told me I have a free breakfast.. I really enjoyed my stay here.. Good music & affordable drinks. Met a lot of people in this hostel and super friendly staff too.

Gords and Tako were awesome to talk with and they helped us out a lot about the city. Gords would always come up to us at the bar or downstairs and talk with us. It was fun. Tako would recommend places for us. Thank you!!

MALAPASCUA ISLANDMalapascua Island is famous among locals and international tourists, especially among divers, because it is the only place in the whole world where you can dive with thresher sharks daily. BADIANThe most famous attraction in Badian is Kawasan Falls, a three-tiered cascade that features distinctly turquoise water. MOALBOALMoalboal is best known for its Sardine Run. Imagine swimming amidst millions of sardines in crystal clear waters. If you're lucky, you may even come across sea turtles while snorkeling. SUMILON ISLANDSumilon Island is inarguably one of the most popular tourist spots in Cebu. Sumilon Island's most prominent feature is its immaculate sandbar that changes shape every season.

BANTAYAN ISLANDKnown as the "Boracay of the South", Bantayan Island is a stunning off-the-beaten-path alternative.
