The 24-hectare coral island, located on the Southeastern tip of Cebu, is home to Bluewater Sumilon. Pristine white sand beaches abound. Its sandbar is known for its changing shapes and shifting locations around the island, depending on the season. There is a natural lagoon teeming with high mangroves. On the south side, a lighthouse rests on a protected tree park and a "Baluarte", a 19th century historical watchtower. It is also home to the Philippines' first marine sanctuary.At Bluewater Sumilon, let the islander's easy-going friendliness shine through and keep the pace low-key enough to let you feel pampered.
My visit to this island started with bad impressions, but as I arrived and as the days of my stay passed I realized I was so wrong. Everything was great! If you are a hardworking person with duties in the head 24/7, this is the right place for you. A moment to actually be with yourself in a place of wonder. The service here is exceptional as is the food. And the beach- a few paddles from the shore you can already witness a well-maintained reef environment with all sorts of marine animals. This was a time of great memoir for me!

100% sure that my money was intact inside my wallet before I went to sleep; I was counting and separating bills for payment the next day. I even went to the Front Desk to have my Php 1,000.00 bill in smaller bills. When we woke up the next day, since the restaurant does not serve breakfast until 7AM, we went for a swim and came back to the room to find that some cash was missing. The Front Desk and management were very dismissive of my concern, and I had to request to review the CCTV (active word "had", they did not bother to offer to do it) and even requested for them to do a room search to prove that I was not making this up. All they did were "interviews" with very deflective and victim blaming questions such as "Did you just leave your things in the room?", "Why did you not…

My wife and I visited recently with a couple friend of ours and all of us truly enjoyed our stay in every sense. We had booked the two bedroom villa with the pool and it met and exceeded our expectations - from the picturesque setting and privacy to quaint rooms topped off with an excellent wifi signal(since we had some work to get in as well)! The staff epitomized customer centricity and service and complimented this beautiful location. Krisha(front desk), Chin, Jojo(restaurant) and Ricky(security) were exceptional and went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable and convenient as they could. Much appreciated and look forward to returning soon!

Once the treasure stash for the tiger of Asia(山下奉文), now a luxurious boutique hotel surrounded by national Park standard coral reef. Skorking is good enough to feel like you just took a diving session.

If you want to take a break from the City this is the place to go. The drive from Cebu city was smooth as roads were good. Parking was no problem as Bluewater had an exclusive parking area for your car. The ferry to the island was about 15 minutes but the waves were quite rough (due to amihan). Once you are in the island it’s relaxing galore. Walking to our cottage was a good 3-4 minute walk but did not mind it all. The food served during dinner and breakfast was delicious and you can order special request from the chef (eg danggit and dried squid). Staff were all courteous and nice! Will go back soon. Due to the ban of Chinese and Koreans tourist the place was not crowded at all. (Even during whale watching)

We were welcomed by the manager Levie she was super helpful and friendly told us about all the activities we could do and made us feel so comfortable! The room was so clean with a spectacular view with a sea view! The beds were so comfortable and all the environment was very clean and well looked after. We highly recommend his place!

Sumilon island ticks all the boxes. Just a 15 minutes boat ride , clean environs, and good facilities, e.g. lockers, towels, snorkels, life jackets,etc. The snorkeling is excellent and just off the beach.

This Resort was amazing. From tante to rooms everything is pretty. Service is very good, view are breathtaking. We had the chance to see people working there feeding some baby sharks, you can cycle around the island, snorkel into some beautiful water.... drink some good smoothies, get a little tan, take amazing picture in the infinite pool. Highly recommand!

The hotel staff is super impressive, and the hotel itself has so much to offer. In addition to stay experience, they provide day tour to their resort, where you can spend all day and experience the true luxury and hospitality. There is a sand bar on the island, which we always wanted to see. We went for snorkeling with their super guide, and totally loved it. Special thanks for arranging vegetarian food, it was such a lovely gesture by you guys. Kudos to you guys!
