But we only come here to have lunch. Lunch Buffet Is a bit pricey 800 pesos per head same price at Vikings Buffet but this is in Island so it's fair. Less choices though. Snorkeling recommended!

- Brian ABengaluru, India102 contributionsIf you have some time to spare, take a short boat ride to Caohagan Island from Lapu Lapu jetty in Cebu. The island has about 150 local families who make a living by fishing and selling ornaments made from shells. You can buy some fresh seafood and get them cooked by the locals.

- Shalom GDavao City, Philippines46 contributionsIt was my first time to visit the church as an adult (and almost a senior citizen at that). Years back when I was a child, my father (may he rest in peace) used to bring us kids to this church that had a black Mary as patron. People say the Virgin's intercession is miraculous, hence, plenty of devotees go there for their intentions.
We got there at around 9PM and I heard the caretaker say, "let's close for now". Luckily, we were still admitted and lo and behold, there was a long queue towards the Virgin image even at that late hour, people silently waiting for their turn to venerate.
After lighting a candle, paying my respects and saying my intentions for my God through the Mother's intercession, we made our way out to the market to catch a ride, where a lot of people were standing in every corner waiting for their ride, too. And it was already around 10PM!
Anyway, the experience was sort of a 'bunot-tinik'; I felt great relief that I was able to revisit the church and expressed my sincerest prayer for the total recovery of my brother back home who's in an unresponsive wakefulness state. May the Lord hear my plea.
'Para akong nabunutan ng tinik sa dibdib'. I felt like a spot in my heart was pierced.

- Douglas CAlaminos, Philippines78 contributionsMy wife and I enjoyed the snorkeling very much. The water was clear, and there was a decent variety of coral and fish. Our experience though is snorkeling is better in Palawan, Bohol and Bantayan. A warning: we took a jeepney to Cordova Church, then tryke to the boats. Upon arrival at the first place the tryke driver took us, they wanted to charge us 2600 pesos for a two hour snorkeling trip. The tryke driver told us we could get a boat for 1200 at another place, took us there, and we were told the cheapest boat would be 1600 pesos. It's a scam rip-off for foreign tourists. Later, friends told us there is a ferry that will take you to the island for under 100 pesos. No one at either pier would lead us to where we could board the ferry.Written January 18, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SantyLuzon, Philippines7 contributionsI had an incredibly satisfying experience with in-room massage service at Bluewater Maribago, provided by Amuma Spa. Before the session, I had been experiencing significant shoulder pain, but Miss Emme worked her magic and relieved the tension completely. Her skillful technique and soothing approach created an amazing feeling of relaxation and relief.
In addition to the massage, I also tried the cupping service recommended by Spa Manager Miss Mimi, which further enhanced the overall experience. The service was outstanding, and I truly appreciated how Miss Emme recommended treatments provided by Amuma Spa that suited my specific needs.
Although the 60-minute massage was fantastic, it simply wasn’t enough, I’ll definitely book a 90-minute session next time! Highly recommended!Written December 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
