Sumilon Bluewater Island Resort

Cebu


Located on remote Sumilon Island, Bluewater fringes an idyllic white-sandbar beach and its rooms have Japanese touches, such as sliding screen doors. Ultimately it's overpriced and not overly private: the sandbar and hotel pool are regularly frequented by day trippers (mainly on weekend afternoons). There are free boat transfers for guests from Banlogan, 10km northeast of Lilo-an.

Nonguests can use facilities for P600.
